Mike Seate makes a good deal of money writing motorcycle books (How to Build a West Coast Chopper) and writing for motorcycle magazines. Knowing some of the folks in the counter-protest groups, I am sure he has probably cut his own throat with this article.
A pity he has not "cut his own throat" with his employer, but then the day when the Trib was run by conservatives and not p.c. has been over for some time. I used to receive it by mail a day late to support it. That ended when it started competing with the left-wing P-G by taking a sharp left turn. It is still not nearly as bad as the other T-R owned local papers that circle P'burgh spewing absolute socialist propaganda as news.
