(1,975 posts)I've sat here for about 5 minutes trying to figure out a way to respond to your post. Maybe it's just the human in me that would put aside my political difference and help out somebody in need. No matter a person's political beliefs I would still help them. Then again, that's what I did for the last 15 years, so I may be a little biased.

(11,614 posts)One of the reasons my spouse and I stopped attending biker events in WA State. Endless shit being sold from China and too many liberal-hate tees, stickers, and patches. The last straw was a "Libertarian" tent signing people onto a "they're coming to take your guns away" petition rather aggressively at an Oyster-Run event we had attended for years. Nothing but stupid white guys all acting like badasses now.

(17 posts)my first bike. That was in 1964 when I was 13 and I've been biking ever since.
I've met some nasty people over the years, but mostly great people who get together to share their love of motorcycles and not to discuss politics. Conversely, I've met a few people who are aligned with my political views who say the rights things, but in their personal interactions are absolutely despicable.
I suppose making gross generalizations is fine as long as you're generalizing about the "Other Guys."

Ruby the Liberal
(26,219 posts)Mike Williamson, took to Facebook in December to slam Cox, accusing him of swindling supporters and not even owning a motorcycle.
Cox, in turn, told U.S. News that "one thing I've learned in politics is you're going to come along a lot of wackadoodles" and speculated that Williamson might have been drunk when he wrote the post.
Williamson countered: "I wasn't drunk, I was pissed."
Meanwhile, the third organizer, Ski Bischof also doesn't have much love for either of them, saying he also doesn't think that Cox owns a bike, that Williamson doesn't ride often, and both are attention hungry. "The eagles are clashing. They each like their names out on front of everything," he told U.S. News.
So actually owning a bike and minimum ride times are pretty important to these good folks, I take it.

(13,616 posts)didn't people remember when the Rolling Stones hired the Hells Angels for security at Altamont Speedway? This has potential to be a complete and utter right especially considering that a lot of the neo-Nazis will of course try to get in, start incident, and hopefully start that racial holy war they been trying to ignite the past 30 years! This is not a case of could something happen, it is a case of will we be able to prevent something from happening?
Yes I know that many bikers are good people, but the one showing up for this wall of me idea will probably contain a good portion of the same folks were swastikas tattooed on their arms, exactly the people we do not need to hire as security. to any Afro-Americans or any other minority please watch yourself there because these bikers want to start a war, and there will be collusion and plotting and planning the likes we have not seen since the heyday of the Ku Klux Klan!

These kind of posts just give ammunition to the haters, who don't need any more fuel for their fire.

They act like Trump is the only one who has enemies.
These patriot types are no such thing, they actively deny that there is any such thing as a hate group,
a white supremacist or extremist. They're not so macho when it comes to protecting people from hate.
Fuck them and their bullshit concern for this country. It's perfectly okay when racists beat people up or
threaten a black president. Bunch of traitors whose only real concern is protecting white people.
These "Bikers for Trump" have a rent-a-goon mentality that gets off on protecting a billionaire. They don't care about protecting anyone else.

(100,103 posts)They couldn't give less of a shit if it's a Democratic representative / senator/ governor/ president that needs protecting. They like the GOP because they're the party that Jesus would vote for.

(1,015 posts)Cox decided that his 30,000-member group, Bikers for Trump, would no longer be just a support organization focused primarily on holding independent rallies for the Republican front-runner. It would transform into a volunteer security force, patrolling Trumps events to identify protesters for paid security and police, forming barriers to protect Trump supporters, and playing backup to the cops as they removed unwanted attendees from the campaigns rallies.
Within days, his bikers were working crowds at Trump events nationwide. And by last week, at a rally inside the Pennsylvania Farm Show Complex, Coxs men were assuming functions typically reserved for paid security and police patrolling the dirt floor of the arena, snatching and tearing protesters signs and following close behind law enforcement officials as they dragged protesters from the arena, ready to lend a hand.
These volunteer efforts reflect the intensity of Trumps supporters, who say their candidate and his campaign are under threat a threat some believe comes from agitators paid by billionaire financier and funder of liberal causes, George Soros. These volunteers are injecting themselves into an already volatile situation at Trump rallies, where protesters, Trump supporters, Secret Service agents, local law enforcement and the billionaires private security detail have been intermingling.
While security experts warn that untrained vigilante groups could cause more harm than good, and even expose a candidate to charges of negligence in the case of violence, Trumps campaign and paid consultants are doing little to discourage Bikers for Trump or other security volunteers.

Chris scott was bragging this morning about breaking a guys face on Fox News then saying that some believe they, the protesters, come from agitators paid by billionaire financier and funder of liberal causes, George Soros. Brown Shirts on motorcycles, scary!
