Um, the idiot traitor in the white house? I have no sympathy for these idiots, in today’s climate I don’t blame the Marines for taking a hard line to protect their base and themselves.

Posse Comitatus Act

The Posse Comitatus Act is a United States federal law (18 U.S.C.§ 1385, original at 20 Stat. 152) signed on June 18, 1878 by President Rutherford B. Hayes. The purpose of the act - in concert with the Insurrection Act of 1807 - is to limit the powers of the federal government in using federal military personnel to enforce domestic policies within the United States.

At least (supposedly), they'll get their bikes back after the fine is paid. The fine will probably be miniscule compared to the price of the bikes.

Okay. Either I missed that in the article, or it wasn't stated.

Protect the American citizen from an invasion of criminals outside the USA seems to be within that law.

Why aren’t the marines on the border stopping criminals and drugs from entering the country rather than stealing bikes from Americans?

There's no more important job than to make cycletards as miserable as they make everyone they impede on the highways or trails. Good on ya marine.

Amazing isn’t it. And the ones good at it are seriously fast. Lord only knows what I could have done with one back in the days of stingrays and jump ramps. Id probably be dead.

“An interesting race!
Two miles, two highly motivated participants, one push/riding his $$$ bike, wearing lug shoes/ shorts, the other wearing baggy pants and boots. “

And the poor lance coolie they told to catch him would be told he faces the Brig and prison if he fails to catch him. Death race 2016.

Can’t stand the cycling crowd. They think they own the roads. They come from uber lib Austin to play at being Lance Armstrong in their speedos and aero dynamic helmets. That’d be fine if they could peddle 50 mph but they can’t. They get on the road into town that’s one lane, a steep drop off on one side and hills with blind curves and wobble all over the road struggling to peddle fast enough to keep their bikes upright. Of course, they get upset when a car rounds a curve and has to slam on its brakes and honks because they’re in the middle of the road. I dread driving into town because one day someone, maybe me, won’t be able to brake in time and it’ll somehow be the car driver’s fault. They’re morons who have no consideration for anyone else. Find a road or bike path that doesn’t endanger their lives or the others on the road.

"Bike path" is a term that the local cyclists use when referring to sidewalks. This is why the most dangerous place to walk in my neighborhood is on the sidewalk. Incompetent cyclists ride on the sidewalks because they think it's easier than learning and following traffic laws.
