First I am not saying it is ok....
So a few motorcycle Gangs get together and kill 9 of their own kind and injure 18 others. No one outside their Gangs was hurt. It turns in to a major deal 170 people arrested and held on 1 Million dollar bond and all kinds of trumped up chargers flied against them, with No evidence.
Now in Chicago or Milwaukee many times that are killed on a weekend by Gangs many of those killed young children and citizens not part of the gangs. Seldom anything is done. If anyone is Arrested they are back on the street in a day. If they were to ever do a mass arrest like that the City would be sued in 24 hours by every phony civil rights group in the nation. So it seems you can do it, if you go after the right people.
Just something to thing about funny, how our justice system works.

I've been trying to follow this as I feel there was a lack of due process .As I understand it there was only one gang shooter and most of those killed were shot and killed by police .A million dollar bond for everyone is nuts in this case .The parking lot video of the actual shootings have not been released which should be interesting if the Fed's haven't doctored them ..

unconfirmed report that those shot and killed only one had a fire arm .Bet Al and Jesse don't show up .
I'm not condoning hard core bikers only that everyone deserves their rights and day in court. I've had experience first had with the Fed's and I certainly trust the bikers more ..What I discovered was that that LEO's in general will lie ,cheat and withhold critical evidence .Some of the bikers assisted getting civilians to safety and out of harms way .
I wonder how Andy Taylor would have handled the situation .

(no I've never owned a motorcycle)

I had to do some thinking after reading the opening post in this thread .... to make where I'm coming from clear, the first time I retired it was after working almost 35 years in NC's prison system where I had more time than I care to remember to directly observe the so called "1% ers" .... before I go on, my comments in no way should be related to 99% ers who are good people who enjoy motorcycles ... I put the 1% ers in the same group as Mexican drug cartels, the worst of organized crime organizations, and the violent extremist of all races .... they do deserved the protections granted under our Constitution but find it very difficult to have any sympathy for any of them

Considering that these people are gangsters with no redeeming qualities, I'd be for arresting all of the criminal biker gang members, locking them in a big cage, provide them free beer, and arming them up with their weapons of choice. Offer the last man standing his freedom.

Don't know.
Wasn't there.
That said, I think the most foolish part of the whole situation was to schedule a gathering of 5 clubs to begin with.
I've been to a couple of "joint" events involving just two organizations and it seemed a miracle that they didn't end up like this.

I guess we'll just have see who says what.
It should continue to be in the news for a while.
I understand that there's video that hasn't been released yet.
Just make sure your Elio never, ever backfires in Cleveland!
