https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/national-file/

"Bikers for Trump" really sounds fearsome . If as obese as Trump, they'll have trouble staying astride their "hogs", if they even have them ("You do not need a bike to join") - anyone, after all, can create a Facebook page. Note, they say "We are not going to hurt anybody," so they are actually real "pussycats", just like the CHAZ protestors . Maybe they could have a love-in. One of the groups they say will be accompanying them is Super Happy Fun America, which really sounds like a bunch of skull-crackers .
I didn't link a source because it's only a facebook event. The "going" number went from 600 to 1300 in 1 day, so I think it's safe to say it will happen if CHAZ/CHAP is still there by July 4th. As a Washingtonian I could easily show up. The most serious group would be Oath Keepers and more local groups. It would require trained guys to do this the right way with minimal bloodshed. I think maybe it's a good idea for bikers to tend to their home state and not venture off far from home as more of these could develop around the US. One thing I know is if this is still up by July 4th, there will be push back to open the blocks up and guys like myself will be there prepared to help. July 4th is a great day to do it, Saturday too.

May be they can camp out in Volunteer Park with the homeless, mentals, and druggies.

I agree about the Oath Keepers. I went to a talk by one of them right about the time they had trouble in Ferguson. He explained their insurance policies and their legal reps if they are involved in a shooting. He wasn't a loud fire up the crowd type. Very matter of fact in his presentation.

I won't be joining but I wouldn't fear them.

In the 70's I drank in biker bars on occasion. I lived in Outlaw territory then. They are dangerous. I wouldn't mess with any of the Big 4 (Hells Angels, Outlaws, Pagans, Banditos.)

I'm sure we will hear a lot of rumors until the 4th.

That's your opinion.

Peace. Love. Freedom. No war pigs.

Nah, you posted that you "came across an article that..." Much more likely, you just didn't want to reveal the kind of junk-media you've been reading ("an extreme right Tin Foil Hat Conspiracy website," according to MediaBiasFactCheck.com).

I'm actually hoping they pull this off - it'll be worth it for the "comic-relief" alone. I'll be surprised if CHAZ
hasn't fizzled out by then, however.

There are several sites with articles on it. Infowars is one of them. They all say similar info. All media is junk now days, you just go by your hunch. I don't think it will fizzle out easily. The outraged has been renewed by the Atlanta killing of a random black guy who was slightly drunk.

It's amusing that the same right wingers that lost their minds over contact tracing from the virus (we want freedom to spread and don't want to be notified if we've been exposed!) now love them some federal control because their idol Trump has federal power.

All presidents have federal power. Covid19 is fake. I have yet to know a person or even a person who knows a person who has it. Those who do have no symptoms. The radio told news of a home burglary where the owner was shot dead, his death was ruled a covid death. This is fine because the ultimate victims will mostly be leftists taken down by the law of Darwin's theory.

This should be fun. According to CHAZ's website they are a peaceful force, so there shouldn't be any violence. I'm sure CHAZ will see their mistake once bikers show up to address it.
Hey, if the police, mayor and governor won't do their jobs, then somebody will.

I don't see the mayor or or any community groups doing anything. It's not their nature.
