Chances of someone on a bike being able to accurately shoot at someone else on a bike is almost none so I'm not worried about bullets.

Well let me put it like this. Your chance of death from a bird hitting your helmet and braking your neck is probably about the same. It could happen but it's not gonna. If you take everything into account the best pistol shooters in the world would miss every shot.

Miles, the part you're forgetting is all of the HD rattling and shaking. The straight line is iffy, and the smooth pavement won't matter as sh*t is vibrating off the bike.

I don't see FWMR listed. I think the only thing we could do would be like cyber crime, I would be like that guy on office space googling "how to launder money"

I bet there would be dead pixels all over the place. I bet Jim alone has killed more hard drives than any one 1%er put together.

Multiple sources have told The Aging Rebel that all of the dead were killed by police.

Terry you are talking about human beings with lives and families who were slaughtered by police over a parking lot brawl.

Not me, I'm talking about criminals brandishing and using weapons on a Sunday at noon in a very public area with families and other innocents, and the police doing their job to protect. We must be on two different topics. :-D

One biker pulled out a gun so the cops shot nearly 30 people with assault rifles, right? So if every member of FWMR past and present was hanging out and there was an argument and I pulled out a gun it would make sense to unleash hundreds of rounds in a public place and shoot every single one of us, killing 9. Seems reasonable.

Well, my intent isn't for this to turn into a pissin' match, but as Jim pointed out, this is one slanted point of view, at best.

Comparing FWMR and Outlaw Biker Gangs is a little bit of a stretch.

I was only using that as a comparison for the number of people who were shot for the actions of one. My stance is that murder is evil, and murder by "public servants" is particularly evil. So again, if I were to brandish a weapon while you and I were out and about I do not believe that your family would deserve to bury you over it.

The amount of weapons they found stashed at the scene with the number of new bikers showing up with weapons makes me thing the "source" there is reaching pretty deep.

Yep, but you'll never find me walking into a known hot zone with it (more and more showed up when word spread what was going down), I'll be the guy going AWAY from those situations.

Irrelevant. The people who showed up after the fact have nothing to do with the police opening fire.
