Rush Limbaugh is white, old, ugly and fat ... and so am I. But don't you EVER hold me responsible for what he says.

As for your last paragraph, you might be hard, but others are harder. And that "look in your eyes" is usually an opportunity for someone to test you, not back off from you. Especially since guns are everywhere and dudes will pop you in a minute and go to church 5 minutes later. Better to keep your wits about you like you apparently do, but back off on the bravado. There exists lots of dudes that will wanna see if you are what you say you are, and you'd better be just that. Especially if you're white and in the "ghetto" as you claim. Because if the thing jumps off, you're not getting out alive. Hell no.
Yeah, tough guys get shot first.

LOL... and don't you dare ever compare me to Dr. Laura, even though we have more than a few things in common!

This story reeks of "freedom of association".

Oh wait, we don't have that freedom anymore.

ROFL! Yup! They are also places that if you have car trouble, there will be no less than 5 people ready to help you out, and if G-d forbid something happens to you or your family (kidnapped child, deadly cancer, house fire, etc...) they will be the ones to round up a search party, sit with you at the hospital after they brought over food for your family, give you the clothes off their backs, help build you a new house, etc...

Make no mistake, there are parts of my state that I am not happy with, but overall it could be MUCH worse. There are little dive bars all over the country(world) and while most are not the place most would go, some of us feel right at home in them.

My FIL is a bartender at our local dive bar (rated in the top 25 dive bars in America by the Huffington Post, BTW! ), and I love it in there. There is no seperate bathroom for men and women, just one bathroom total; there is seating for maybe 75 on a good day, and they make the BEST burgers and chili outside of someone's home kitchen. It's also my fav go to place to study homework (especially History or Philosophy or Political Science), since the majority of the day crowd are retired and discuss all sorts of things on a daily basis.

Ok, so I found out a bit more about the situation. (Not from the best source mind you, but better than nothing, ya know?!)

Apparently a week or so before this incident (which was this past Thurs BTW), this guy and a few of his friends were in a huge fight with the other patrons, and were accused of either selling drugs or using them on the property. They were asked to leave and they threatened to be back with their friends and tear the place down.

Fast forward to this incident, and they were denied entrance, but later that night after this died down and the guys left, there were patrons of both sexes and all races allowed in with no trouble.

Dunno if I buy it, but I can see how it could be accurate.

But yea, sure...it's the exception. But so are the black incidents at the black college weekends in various cities. But we should act as if it's the rule in their case, and not the exception. Right.
No, it is wrong either way and innocent people are at risk. The point is, for the most part there is peace at Sturgis. The reason for the violence was limited to the mongols and hells angels, sort of like how the black underclass ghetto scum causes problems for the rest of the peaceful black community.
