I thought I read in the article that the cities were not paying for these Police Officers.

Why is everyone so scared of bikers?
It's not "bikers" per se, it is the reputation of certain clubs. Sturgis, with its half million attendees, has a much smaller ratio (since we are doing the math) of OMG's to responsible bikers. With these different proportions, they will police themselves much better.

The Hell's Angels are in Las Vegas, not so coincidentally, this weekend. Although I do not think that there will any issues this weekend, those two clubs have a long standing violent feud going. If they continue to have their meet ups in such close proximity, eventually they will.

I was recently told that the Hell's Angels and Mongols have called a truce.

My friend in Boulder City has been posting on Facebook that nothing is happening and the police are really ridiculous there.

Somebody is paying for it and the person that approved it needs to be held accountable for wasting so much money. How many police officers does metro have on the road on a normal shift? I bet it is close to the number in Boulder City watching over 300 bikers.

REMEMBER, these are the same Bikers that killed a man in Laughlin....my preference would be so say "Sorry we don't want your business."

My mother says the police aren't really needed. She and her friends have everything under control. BTW, here is a picture of my mother from a few years ago.

Here is how my home town of Lancaster, CA dealt with a Mongol visit a few years ago. Mongols fenced out of Lancaster meeting threaten lawsuit - Crime Scene I understand people's thoughts that it probably went too far but I was, and remain on the side of the city in this case. Keep the dirt bags outta my town!

Yeah, if any Mongols gives her any trouble, she can just take her right foot and whop a Mongol on the side of his face. And you want to know something? There is not a damn thing that he's goin to be able to do about it.

The first movie that the character Billy Jack appeared in was Born Losers where Billy takes on a outlaw motorcycle gang.
