Nothing. I'm just giving you a first hand account from my biker days. I know what I'm talking about, yet so many here are whining about the freedom for 1%ers to be murdering, raping, drug makes/distributors and kick anyone's ass if they look cross-eyed at them. Like I said, I sold my Harley 2 years ago, and have been around those assholes for years.
Granted, the sweep of so many innocents was unjustified, but don't tell me the 1%ers should have the same rights as the average citizen. That patch is the equivalent of the Swastika. Have you never noticed the Iron Cross and other SS patches they wear, not mention some Swastikas? I can't believe so many here are trying to defend these scum. I have yet to hear from a long time biker who has had any interaction with these thugs like I have. I'm done.
What oath is forever?
May I suggest that you take some time to think about what unrestrained and arbitrary authority might look like? Please consider how the trampling of the Constitution - even to "get at" the vilest is a very dangerous and ominous precedent.
I WILL tell you that they DO have the same rights, absent having forfeited them as a part of their punishment for crimes they are convicted of.
To believe otherwise is to spit on the Constitution.
“I can’t believe so many here are trying to defend these scum.”
There are only about four of the hard-core like that here.
“I have yet to hear from a long time biker who has had any interaction with these thugs like I have. I’m done.”
I know it is frustrating but I hope you will return from time to time. Of course their goal was to drive you away.
