Wow.

Are you *that* obtuse?

Referring to bikers who are mostly veterans as “itinerant low life” is disrespectful to those who risked their lives for this country, in the extreme.

As far as I know, only you have made this a veteran issue. This is, in fact, a misbehavior issue. Your claim that most bikers are veterans is problematic, at best. But that is irrelevant, unless, of course, you believe that just by being a veteran excuses a person from ordinary civilized behavior and demands that a community accept lowered standards just because some veterans are in town. Lots of veterans live in my neighborhood and they are all, without exception, excellent citizens and neighbors. To the best of my knowledge, they have never found it necessary to smash beer bottles in the streets, shout insults at passers-by, raise noisy rackets into the wee hours or fornicate in parking lots. Your suggestion that veterans should be defined by misbehaving biker standards is both absurd and insulting. In case you didn’t get it the first or second time, this is not a veteran issue; it is a misbehavior issue.
