“We see this sort of bullshit from the anti-gun people all the time: “Either you support gun control or you support dead and bleeding children in the streets””

Of course here we can find those that support decent motorcyclists and detest the gangs ...

And we find the others that support the gangs and lump the good bikers in with the gangs.

We can also find those who paint anyone on a motorcycle with the same brush--as "evil gangsters". And particularly those who say that attendees at a Confederation of Clubs and Independents meeting are all just the same as those holding one particular patch there, well, because they are there.

How disingenuous.

The reason I asked that particular person how they could tell the difference is simple.

While y'all are busy calling anyone with a patch on their back a "gangster", the average person who doesn't know crap about motorcycles and wouldn't know a H.O.G. patch from a rocker is either learning this isn't just some one-size-fits all situation, or they are lapping up the crap some posters here have spewed about gangsters and evil bikers and can't begin to tell the difference.

Christian bikers don't go down the road like a Vatican procession at high mass, they ride in black leathers, on Harleys, often in formation, with patches on their backs, too.

So all this crap about "good biker" this, "evil biker" that, is just so much bluster.

The bottom line is that any person accused of a crime in these United States has certain rights, among those a presumption of innocence (which precludes the guilt by association meme some of you are so fond of), a right to a speedy trial, and other Rights guaranteed by our Constitution.

Either you support those rights for everyone, or you do not, but if you do not, you are coming out against another principle: That of equal protection under the law.
