“I have not seen anyone on these threads who “feels sorry for any outlaw motorcycle gangs”

What I said, I just felt like saying. I don’t care if anyone else said the same thing or not.

Anyway, this case is not really the best to have presented itself for asserting and/or defending certain amendments to the Constitution, Bill of Rights, etc...NINE people were shot to death, man...and they were all members of outlaw biker gangs!

100% WRONG. It is the "hard cases" like this that test the strength of the principles enshrined in our Constitution.

Blackstone said that it is better that 10 guilty go free than one innocent be punished. Someone else (?) expanded the ten to a hundred.

THIS is the underlying ideal that forms the basis of the protections guaranteed in the Constitution. At great peril do we turn our eyes away.

Well, except for at least one. He was not only NOT a member of any club, let alone a "gang," he didn't even have a prior record. He was, however, a decorated Marine (Purple Heart).
