I'm kinda torn on this,,dumbfucks shooting each other……man…sounds like a win win to me.
What ever happened to the good old fashioned Viking helmet wearing biker gangs that terrorized small towns and raped the lone virgin in the station wagon while mom and dad looked on in horror?
It seems that the police might have shot a couple of them. I wonder if anyone will care about it in this instance.

Probably want to know why they didn't shoot more!
:eek: That's scary.
I stopped watch "Sons of Anarchy" because they were toning down the 1%ers. Those boys is crazy. I suspect some of them put out the word that they were going to be there as an invitation to have a fight and "sort things out."
The phony "biker culture" in the US and other places is based largely on lies and half truths with middle class yuppies dressing up as weekend tough guys and girls completely ignoring the fact that the same costumes are based on the garb of ruthless gangs. I can't think of much more phony nonsense than a bunch of accountants and housewives dressing up like ruthless gangs then dawning flags and stuffed animals to take to children's hospitals and telling people how wonderful and caring bikers are. I've known a lot of bikers over the years and "1%ers" I wouldn't give a nickel for and the vast majority are guys who would cut your grandmas throat over a hit of meth and for some reason people like to play dress up to pretend to be like them. The very same people would scorn the homeless family and tell you they deserve to be homeless and down and out because of whatever handy excuse they can find.
The whole Harley Davidson/rugged individual crap is based on bullshit Hollywood mythology and the sales of motorcycles and all the leather and other fake shit to make people think that they're tough and all that bullshit..
Don't get me wrong..I don't hate anyone who owns a motorcycle or even wears the costumes, but I do despise the ignorance of the pretentiousness the middle class "biker" bullshit.. It's what allows the criminal culture to thrive right under the noses of everyone.
Now that the police can't go around shooting black men with impunity, they now go after bikers. (http://i.imgur.com/rkPaJRL.jpg) Solitary

Some of them have $70,000,000 like the one pictured.

Strangely enough it's also a very legitimate question. Our media is very quick to denounce black on black and black on white crime, but it's as if white on white crime doesn't even exist..
many a year ago, when my brother went undercover with the Avengers he had to go out of state on a "mission" a group of 20 of them came into our home town and spent a couple hours fucking with the folks at the local pub and smacked up the lone gay kid in the whole town. Three days later one of our own, who to this day is unknown shot three of them right off their bikes with a 30-06 coming down a hill named for my family. Pretty crazy as it takes the sheriff usually about a half hour to even get there. This was around 75-76 so we didn't even get the FBI up there. Three dead bikers…meh…toss em in the fuckin ditch and sell the bikes for the cop fund.
About a week later they pulled my brother out of under cover and his first job was to interview the gang……yeah…talk about good times… Avengers took a different route after that.

I was thinking the same thing. Rolling Thunder is coming up soon. Almost all of those folks dress like those I saw in the gang shootout...
A part that bugs me is a lot of people think I'm a biker just because I have long hair when in fact I won't ride on bikes because I don't have the first inclination to have my body ground into the pavement at 70 mph. I had a good friend who was ground into the pavement and lived another 15 years as a bedridden invalid and died not even knowing his own name. The same people usually think I'm a heavy doper and meth addict..I was a heroin addict for awhile, but got clean from that and never shot meth..
Good for one of your own Aitm.. I grew up right down the street from a notorious Outlaw hangout. Nasty assholes they were.. I have no use for them and kinda glad the world is rid of at least 9 of them..

If they start to acknowledge any kind of white gang violence, white on white crimes seriously, then they'll have to define white people as terrorists for certain crimes. Now, we can't go around calling white people terrorists, accept that they are highly likely to commit same kind of crimes with nonewhites, can we? What kind of a world that would make? :eek:

I was in San Pedro, California for a few months, and one day I was downtown when a biker gang had taken over the place. It could have been 100 to 200 bikers. They were spread out everywhere in small groups of 10 to 15 just standing around talking at gas stations and donut shops, and their bikes were just parked. They didn't appear to be creating trouble, but it was an intimidating sight. Then at one point, the gang started to move. At first, 6 or 7 guys revved up their bikes, pulled out on to main street and accelerated down the four lane business district at maybe 70 miles an hour. Then the hive seemed to come to life, as more bikes revved up, and shot down main street.
The cops were no where in sight, and the main thoroughfare, which was usually bumper to bumper with traffic, was almost empty, clearing the way for high speed motorcycle travel out of town. I don't know how frequent this sort of thing was. I was surprised at how none of the bikers acted like getting a speeding ticket was even a remote possibility. There was no trouble, but I had the feeling that wherever these guys were at any given time, they pretty much owned the place.
We don't call biker gangs terrorists because the activities they engage in generally don't meet the definition. Biker gangs don't have a political agenda. We are however well aware of the types of crimes they commit which are things like running guns, drugs, prostitution and extortion. These are the same types of crimes black gangs such as the Bloods and the Crips are accused of being involved in. Please pay attention to this next part because it is going to be hard for some of you to grasp. American law enforcement classify the Banditos, one of the biker gangs involved in this shooting, as a tier II threat. That is the same classification they use for black gangs like the bloods and the Crips that engage in similar activities. As far as white terrorists go Google the name Timothy McViegh, and see how long it takes for the term terrorist to be associated with this particular white male.
As far as black on black versus white on white violent crime goes most violent crime is intraracial. Whites prey on whites and blacks prey on blacks. Blacks however are far more likely to be both a victim or the perpetrator of a violent crime. Blacks make up about 13% of the population, but they commit about half the violent crime. Most of the time the victims are black too. Statistically speaking black on black violent crime is a bigger problem for the black population as a whole than white on white violent crime is for white people.

I didn't either. Clearly, I am talking about the specific criminal stereotype of American culture and what would happen if it changes. About a connection.

Nothing you wrote needs special attention. However, if we think about the example
you gave, may be you need to pay attention to what I've said in my post or generally in my other posts about the subject, because almost every time it comes up, I am talking about the post 9/11 tendency.
Nobody has to google McViegh. Please pay attention that it happened
BEFORE 9/11. If it is hard for you to grasp what I am talking about overall, read about the right wing domestic terrorism in your country. Which is not defined as terrorism carefully in the media. Inlcuding the last event in Texas. Perpetrators are American born people.
You are aware of the difference between the understanding of 'terroism' and ' the terrorist' before 9/11 and after 9/11 that is developed by the American media and manipulation right?

FBI doesn't agree with you.

White-on-white murder in America is out of controlhttp://www.vox.com/2014/8/21/6053811/white-on-white-murder
QuoteYet the disturbing truth, according to the FBI's most recent homicide statistics, is that the United States is in the wake of an epidemic of white-on-white crime. Back in 2011, the most recent year for which data is available, a staggering 83 percent of white murder victims were killed by fellow Caucasians.
http://www.alternet.org/news-amp-politics/staggeringly-high-and-shockingly-under-reported-rate-white-white-murder
The Staggeringly Highâ€"And Shockingly Under-Reportedâ€"Rate of White on White MurderQuoteWhy oh why is no one commenting on the insanely high rate of of white on white murder? Bill O'Reilly? Joe Klein, of Time magazine, who devotes his whole column to write this week on black on black murder, in response to Ferguson? Anybody? Because bringing up the canard of black on black crime whenever a white man kills a black man is just how the right-wingâ€"and apparently the mainstreamâ€"media rolls.
Note to smug white racists: Take a look at the real numbers. According to the FBI's most recent homicide statistics, Vox.com reports, "the United States is in the wake of an epidemic of white-on-white crime. Back in 2011, the most recent year for which data is available, a staggering 83 percent of white murder victims were killed by fellow Caucasians.
83 percent!
As Vox's Matthew Iglesias writes, rather brilliantly:
This is not to say that white people are inherently prone to violence. Most whites, obviously, manage to get through life without murdering anyone. And there are many countries full of white people â€" Norway, Iceland, France, Denmark, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom â€" where white people murder each other at a much lower rate than you see here in the United States. On the other hand, although people often see criminal behavior as a symptom of poverty, the quantity of murder committed by white people specifically in the United States casts some doubt on this. Per capita GDP is considerably higher here than in France â€" and the white population in America is considerably richer than the national average â€" and yet we have more white murderers.
Another disturbing and revelatory stat via Vox: 36 percent of those killed by whites are women, a far higher percentage than what you see with murderers who are black.
I has a gang of bikers drive by my car when parked here in Phoenix call the Caballeros. I asked their leader next to me if they were the gay Caballeros, he shook his head, grinned, and laughed. Another biker that went by asked him what I said and he whipped out a gun and pointed at me. I revved up my engine. The leader poked him and he put the gun away.
I had a gang of Hells Angels in a wooded area that was cleared out in Illinois' where it was used to camp in. It was a week day an no one around and my girlfriend and I decided to have sex in the grass hidden just above it. Right in the middle of going at it a biker with his bitch drove by us and ignored us. the whole gang stayed outside the clearing. When my girlfriend and I decided to get the hell out of there, when we were leaving I told the gang to go back and party all they want. They all thanked me and I thanked them for staying outside instead of giving us trouble. I don't think it is fare to treat all bikers the same way. Yes, selling drugs is a crime, and they do fight among themselves and don't take crap off of anyone that doesn't respect them, but what groups of people do that have power?
You go around looking for trouble with any gang or group you are going to get in trouble. I've been around bikers all my life and never had any trouble with any of them or their gangs because I don't look down at them. The movies and the media have greatly exaggerated how bad they are, and they usually fight among themselves and the police who want to control everyone and make them stay in line even if they are not doing anything wrong if they are different from them. The biker gangs in Holland are a different story.
It's been my experience if I don't mess with them or disrespect them I have no trouble, just like any group that has power, like the police. The people that have problems with the police gat their asses shot now too. If all bikers are dangerous, and all cops are too, then people are afraid of them just like people that are homophobic and bigots. Solitary
Shoe, the post 911 tendency in the US is to apply the term terrorist to a lot of people that wouldn't have been traditionally considered terrorists. I believe that is a mistake. We don't want the government to start classifing common criminals (even those that participate in organized crime) as terrorists because that allows the government to operate under different rules, and I don't want my government to be allowed to make up the rules as they go.
What I got from your posts is that we apply the term discriminately based on race with whites being less likely to be called terrorist than minorities. That we should consider these bikers as terrorists. They aren't. They are criminals engaged in organized crime, and the government classifies them the same way they classify other similar gang activity regardless of the race of the gang. This is as it should be.
I never said white on white crime wasn't a problem. I said statistically black on black crime was a bigger problem for blacks than it is for whites. The FBI statistics you linked confirmed this so lets break down a few of the numbers you provided.
There were 6,131 murders in the US in 2011.
2,904 (47.37%) of the offenders were white.
2,958 (48.25%) of the offenders were black.
3,172 (51.74%) of the victims were white.
2,695 (43.96%) of the victims were black.
82.91% of the white victims were murdered by whites.
90.8% of the black victims were murdered by blacks.
7.16% of the blacks were murdered by whites.
14.12% of the whites were murdered by blacks.
According to the US census bureau there were 308,758,105 people in the US on April 1st 2010. (the closest time to 2011 statics I could find)
239,905,048 (77.7%) of them were white.
40,756,070 (13.2%) of them were black.
Here are some conclusions we can draw from those numbers.
A white person in the US in 2011 had a 0.0012105% percent chance of being murdered.
A black person in the US in 2011 had a 0.0072578% percent chance of being murdered.
A black person in the US in 2011 was 6 times more likely to be murdered than a white person.
A black person in the US in 2011 was 6.6 times more likely to be murdered by a black person than a white person was to be murdered by a white person.
If those last two figures don't tell you that statistically black on black violent crime is a bigger problem than white on white violent crime then I don't know what to say.
Other than that the first thing I said was most violent crime is intraracial. I never said that whites don't kill whites, or that it wasn't a problem. Just that it was a bigger problem in the black community than the white one, and your numbers confirm that.

Yes. Because that's the turth. And who is we? Why are you owning up to a whole country with 308 millions of people and at least 12 different cultures and races. We are talking about a world human rights issue.
This is not something unique to USA if you feel that annoyed about the conversation going on from your country. Same bullshit goes on in all the West, Europe; first world countries which are predominantly white.
Here is one about the recent German terrorist. Please pay attention to this article, because it is going to be hard for you to grasp.
http://www.theroot.com/articles/culture/2015/05/so_when_can_we_call_the_germanwings_pilot_a_terrorist.html
So, When Can We Call the Germanwings Pilot a Terrorist?QuoteSo, let’s get this straight: You can deliberately crash a plane into a mountain, kill 149 innocent people and not be called a terrorist? And then, when evidence emerges that you methodically planned your execution, the media still won’t call you what you are? Instead, they’ll call you a terrorist by another name.
Troubled, but not a criminal?
Sick, but not a thug?
Crazy, but not a terrorist.
This is white privilege en fleek.
It has now been confirmed that in late March, German co-pilot Andreas Lubitz callously planned and carried out his mass murder with pathological determination when he crashed Germanwings Flight 9525 into the French Alps. Despite the lives of so many being shattered, the mainstream media has remained steadfast to the idea that this is a story of a “normal guy†who mysteriously snapped.
I trust you know about the examples happened in you rown country. Last year, Vegas.
QuoteThat we should consider these bikers as terrorists.
No. I haven't even mentioned bikers. Again, I talked about 'criminal stereotype' in the American culture. Go read it again.
Actually, I was the one busting my ass in another thread about all acts of terrorism having a political agenda, while a bunch of people kept jerking off.
QuoteI never said white on white crime wasn't a problem.I said statistically black on black crime was a bigger problem for blacks than it is for whites. The FBI statistics you linked confirmed this so lets break down a few of the numbers you provided.
Yes, you said that. You wrote:
QuoteStatistically speaking black on black violent crime is a bigger problem for the black population as a whole than white on white violent crime is for white people.
This is not correct. White on white crime is almost as bad as black on black crime.
Most importantly, the FBI statistics give something completely
opposite to the general conviction of American society. A few points of difference in the numeric value does not make one a big problem and the other is just a normal statistics.
Please add to that white crimes are always under reported and under advertised. Also add that poverty and education are always bigger issues among nonwhite community while not among the whites.
Statistics made on '
chance of being murdered' doesn't mean shit in this aspect. FBI reports are based on the cases that is known about and SOLVED. Not chances. Those are interpretated according to the many different variants and changing tendencies of crime.

When one group is statistically six times more likely to be murdered than another then statistically they have it worse. Period. You can convince me that I'm wrong about that by simply providing statistics that say black people aren't more likely to be the victim of black on black violent crime than white people. That is what the numbers you linked said. Until you can do that telling me I'm wrong means nothing.

It's not about who is actually killing who, it's about how the media (and society in general) portray the different killings.

I see. Solid FBI report says by 2011, 83 % of WHITE people were murdered by WHITE people and you want me to convince you that you are wrong about the conviction you and the society you live in have on something so obvious that can gouge your eyes out, because your personal 'hopes and convictions' are built on the expectations/managed perceptions that nonewhite people are a bigger threat to ALL; the society by 5 %? Or 7%? Because you are convinced that one group is statistcally is 'more likely' to be killed as the SATISTICS of the CHANCES go?
And then you'll tell me that I am just providing some statistics but nothing more. And
I am the one who is telling you that you are wrong.
What is your next step? After you stop stomping your foot down, are you going to hold hands with a few like minded friends and 'pray' for not to be wrong?

Naaah, he is completely aware what is going on.
Seems to me we're trying to use terror in a strictly political sense being most gangs aren't so political, but in many cases they are indeed political. When you come into a town and use fear and intimidation to scare the public and police you don't get much more political than that..You're telling the town and the authority to fuck off, you'll do as you damn well please and ignore the local and even federal law..You'll murder and threaten people to get your way? That's not terror and by extension terrorism? Bullshit.. Just because you're not invited to the table in the UN or Washington doesn't exclude you from jack shit..
QuoteTerrorism is commonly defined as violent acts (or the threat of violent acts) intended to create fear (terror), perpetrated for an economic,[1] religious, political, or ideological goal, and which deliberately target or disregard the safety of non-combatants (e.g., neutral military personnel or civilians).
I don't see the point in arguing over if motorcycle gang terrorism is or isn't political, since terrorism is not strictly political anyways.

You have a point. You are right. But, and that's a big BUT, the definition of going against the authority by commiting a violent crime AND going against the authority by commiting a violent crime according to spread a specific ideology are different, APA.
Gangs members attack each other. Mostly for profit. And yes, sometimes innocent people die, but the other ONLY AIMS to attack and kill innocent people. Gang members are not 'civilians' in this sense.
E: They are armed, vigilant, able to protect themselves. There is direct profit and benefit, intimidation in the act. On the other hand, the other doesn't care about the immediate benefit or proft. Purpose is different.
The thing is Shoe..politics is all about control and money and little else when you get right down to it. If anyone thinks that the gangs involved in this little dispute wouldn't gladly take control of the entire state of Texas and install their own puppet government if given the opportunity they're delusional.

OK. Yes, but control is also all about people believing that they are safe and can go with their lives as they wish. So they can spend money, practise their 'freedom' to spend that money. Esp. for Western societies in the superior sense. Now, which one is a bigger threat -besides, providing money in international terms- the existence of a dark evil ideology that kills innocents at every opportunity, every where possible OR the old gangs getting into with each other as they have been for a long time?
Other than that, yes we agree. But now, we live in a global village.
Foot stomping and temper tantrums are your swim lane not mine, Shoe. Once again though, I said in my first post and again in my second one that most violent crime is intraracial. Whites mostly kill whites and blacks mostly kill blacks. Blacks just do it at a higher percentage of their demographic than whites.
Yep, I'm a white guy. There is a black guy sitting in the office 2 doors down that does the same type of work I do. The chances of either of us being murdered are very remote, but he is 6 times more likely to be murdered than I am. He is 6.6 time more likely to be murdered by another black than I am by another white. I am not that worried about it, and I doubt he is either but he has more reason to worry than I do.

Not the point at all. So Shiranu was right, everything that is said just went over your head.
Let's hope, your and your society's convictions and 'freedom' will catch up to reality. You have two phases. Constant denial of what's happening as the white crime rate goes up -because it will- produce excuses on how all of you are just the victims and secondly, how it wasn't like this or that before you know what in the country -some time far far away. Christian society reached the second phase in your country and aiming far beyond, for your info.
Terrorism. What is a good definition? I have yet to find one. Fear seems to be a big component of it. If that is so, then it seems to me that terrorism is as old as the human race--and older. I would imagine that the earliest human groups used fear to subdue or control other groups. All wars use fear. All conflicts, whether or not war, uses fear. It seems to me that it is almost useless to use the word, 'terrorism'. It doesn't mean much.
And I thought my post was going to get people riled up. If it did, it was just my opinion from my experience, but there is no doubt that even though the majority of gang member are not all crazy, there definitely are, and some as a group are very dangerous, but even then not as dangerous to society as the movies and police believe. We may not like it, but a lot of Christian motor cycle gangs and military cycle gangs really do good charity work, even some notorious ones do. The stigma that society has for anyone involved in the marijuana trade just because the government is mistaken calling it a narcotic, which it isn't, is causing the problem with blacks and motorcycle gangs, as well as rock N Roll musicians. When's the last time you heard of a rich man or his children incarcerated for pot smoking or selling, while the companies sell liquor, and the most dangerous of all drugs cigarette products, and the over production of pharmaceuticals just for profit? We know who the law maker are that make the laws that allow this, don't we? How are all our government wars working out for everyone? :kidra: Solitary

Point being that if you're going to wear the garb and ride around on the bikes to "appear " to look like a gang member then don't whine and bitch that society is going to assume you're part of the same gangs. It's not AS IF biker gangs all dress up in business attire carrying brief cases and only wear the custume for sport and entertainment purposes..

A local guy who's dad was one of the ones shot and killed had this to say (paraphrased)...
"My dad was a great guy, he wasn't a gangster. Yes he road with the gang often, and he paid dues so he could wear the patches on his jacket and ride around with them, but he wasn't a gangster."
Gee, I cant imagine how people thought he was part of a the gang. I'm sure it had nothing to do (to play off the comic) with his thug attire with gang markings, or the fact he was riding with a gang full of people with the exact same patches.
