One percenters are by definition sociopaths and full-time members of a biker gang. They're not good, compassionate liberals; they're even more evil than most rightwingers.

You definitely don't want them to be president of a PTA as suggested, or even around elementary school kids.

What are you suggesting, that the police forced them to gather there, and then forced them to start stabbing each other?

Logical discussion, since you bring it up, does not require insult as a tactic. That only comes in when you can make no such argument.
"if I want to be taken seriously? " Are you kidding me? I really don't care, honestly. : Lol I won't apologize for stating the obvious. Your posts have a tainted tone that reeks of profound bias. I was merely pointing that out. Secondly I never said you had an IQ of 10. That would be against forum rules and I'm not interested in engaging in a cyber squabble. Too exhausting with very little reward. I simply said that argument was weak, baseless and that you were comparing apples and oranges.

This conversation is not going to yield a positive outcome so please carry on. We can agree to disagree

Mexican's aren't white yet I guess. How long did it take the Irish and Italians to gain the privilege?

You cared enough to respond to my posts several times. This speaks for itself.

You may have a point, but the "friendships" acquired after the patch tend to stay.

Average age seems to be around 40. I don't see a lot of young faces in the mug shots.

From what I've been reading it all started when one biker ran over the tootsies of another biker who had big feet. Then all Hell broke loose.

Yup, as we suspected:

How the Bandidos became one of the world’s most feared biker gangs - The Washington Post

Quote:
But Steve Cook says the clean-cut, fun-loving claim is a charade. Cook is a Kansas City-area police officer who says he’s worked undercover in gangs affiliated with the Bandidos.

“These guys are organized crime, but they are also domestic terrorists,” he told The Washington Post. “These guys are heavily involved in methamphetamine, cocaine, marijuana, motorcycle theft. Those are all primary businesses for them. The thing is, these guys want to put on this appearance, ‘Oh we’re just motorcycle enthusiasts and we just like to ride bikes.’ The evidence is quite to the contrary.”

Cook claims that most Americans, including many police, don’t take bike gangs seriously enough because “people have allowed themselves to be too romanticized” by the idea of bikers as modern-day bandits.

“They watch their ‘Sons of Anarchy’ and their little television shows. These guys all seem likable enough: that they are misunderstood, outlaws from the old days, and they ride motorcycles instead of horses,” he said. “Even cops think, ‘Oh they are just tattooed long haired guys who like to ride motorcycles.’ And the reality of it is they are long-haired tattooed guys who ride motorcycles and sell a hell of a lot of methamphetamine and murder people and steal motorcycles and extort people and beat people up in bars for no reasons.”
Double standards as always
