indeed
It’s going to be so hilarious when the trials happen and “Aging Rebel” is revealed as a criminal biker gang apologist, and the people who fell for his blog crap are going to look like dupes.
Lol, a six month delay before trial is not an unusual amount of time at all for a situation like this. People are really reaching for straws around here to try and prop up this conspiracy theory.
Obviously, but put your flame suit on, conspiracy theorists don’t like to hear that!
Well, you are mostly right. The COCI was a front for the Bandidos, but not every club that belonged was a criminal gang.
When outlaw gangs control the COC’s, they use them as instruments of extortion. Non-outlaw clubs that join and pay dues (protection money) get to ride on the roads without being hassled by the biggest outlaw gang in the state. So that is one reason that legitimate, non-criminal clubs join and show up to these meetings.
Now, whether or not paying extortion to criminals so you and your buddies can ride a Harley in peace is being a good citizen, that’s another question altogether.
“It doesn’t give them the right to kill people for being part of the MC just because they think they may be doing illegal things.”
Sure, but that’s not what happened. Police used lethal force to stop a violent gunfight in progress, which they have EVERY right to do.
Thank God they did too, before more people died.
When police witness you participating in a deadly gang fight, that’s all the probable cause they need.
“....before more people died.”
Assumption on your part. In reality more might have died, less might have died or the count would be the same.
The media has never made any pledge to be “fair & balanced” towards criminals. That’s why criminals have rely on internet bloggers to run cover for them.
“Were their unsavory mixed bag of outlaw types there, I’m sure, but some were innocent other the their choice of company they were joined with...”
Which is why the police didn’t arrest the 70 bikers who had no affiliation with the criminals.

“The second is that nobody expects to start a gun fight and then just walk out.”
Right, who is going to start a gunfight, knowing the other gang would shoot back AND the cops would also open fire????
Put themselves in the crossfire???? It’s ludicrous.
Do you realize how many bullets were fired that day? How many suspects involved?
This is a HUGE case for a small town department to investigate, of course it is going to take time.
The gangs didn’t stop killing until the police stepped in, so no, it’s not an assumption at all.
Okay further discussion with you is pointless. Got it. Have a nice day.
this absurd propaganda label “criminal biker gang”
So are you on record denying the existence of criminal biker gangs?
Do you also believe the mafia doesn’t exist?
