I think I will pass on following him on Twitter.

One more major terrorist attack – another 9-11 or worse – could be televised and exploited into a mob stampede toward the 2016 Presidential election if frightened voters seek a “strong man.”

You would think he would be a bit more concerned about Obama importing them.

This guy is a no nothing crack pot. Why did I read this?

But government and civilization make a thin veneer for what lurks beneath. Novels like The Road by Cormac McCarthy (2006) imagine what it might be like...

Don't need a work of fiction to see that - see Nawlins post-Katrina.

So according to this puke we should elect another milquetoast as President.

The more talking points I see being repackaged about this event somehow involving racism, the more suspicious I am get.

[dowcaet]

Worked as a TV producer for Keith Olberdummy. That’s all I need to know about this guy’s mindset.

[dp0622]

he looks very masculine /s
would probably enjoy a strong man

I wonder if Objective Joey ever opined on the black bikers who tried to kill the Asian guy and his wife there in Fun City?

And of course, tie it to his hero, Obambi?

In his 1966 masterpiece Hell’s Angels, the author Hunter S. Thompson wrote: “The outlaw motorcyclist views the future with the baleful eye of a man with no upward mobility at all.”

So he was a leftist before he was .... whatever it is he is/was?

Cruz is almost, almost, as destructive as climate change.

Seems this “writer” has consumed more drugs than Thompson. People have been diagnosed with schizophrenia for lesser ramblings.

What a dumb ash!

This is what an actual shooting incident involving multiple victims looks like on the media. Note it's nothing like you saw at Newtown Elementary or this Waco "biker gang" horsecrap. Remember the school shooting narrative was "AR-15" and now the Waco restaurant/bar shooting is nasty "biker gangs".

Luby's Cafeteria Mass Shooting

Ottawa Shooting: Soldier Killed At National War Memorial, Parliament On Lockdown

Again, this is what a news report from an actual shooting looks like and what one would expect, and this is just one person killed. God bless all their souls.

sounds like he doesn't know anything about bikers.

One of my classmates was a medal of honor winner who was killed in VietNam saving his buddies. He was buried in a cemetery near his parents but when they died, and the family had left that area, his brothers decided to rebury him in Arlington.

Not only was there a “call out” to all of us who attended school with him to accompany the convoy, but there is a group of motorcyclists who went along to escort his body. Alas, I can't remember their name.

Most of the news about these gangs are confused, but a guy discussing it on coast to coast essentially said it was a turf war between Latino and white biker gangs who had been feuding for awhile.

Some bike gangs are into the meth business and very very dangerous.

Others are recreational bikers who just like to ride around and tour. When the bikers come through town on these rides we docs treat more problems from hitting dear or crashing and also things like sunburn than we do drug overdoses.

My favorite biker story (or maybe an urban legend) is Jimmy Carter's sister, who found Jesus and went nuts after a death in her family. One day, she was praising the Lord and said, Lord, I'll do anything you want me to, and she heard a voice saying: Go riding with your husband. He was a recreational biker and was very lonely because she spent so much time in church...So she became a biker.

[SECURE AMERICA]

the annual “Rolling Thunder” gathering will draw hundreds of motorcyclists to ride together in a steady roar to honor living and dead war veterans, POWs and MIAs

This guy is a journalist? “will draw hundreds of motorcyclists”????? Dude you gotta get out more.
This event draws anywhere between 300 THOUSAND and 500 THOUSAND bikers every year..............

Uh Joe, the barbarians of Lower Manhattan eventually evolved into....DEMOCRATS!!!! How many decades have they been running the city nonstop? (that RINO Rockefeller was basically a Democrat). What a dope!
