first off, i don't believe everything the news tells me, these gang bangers as you call them, may well live where these good guys are rescuing people, so i don't believe that they would not want their homies rescued.

I remember the watts riot, i was down there then, i saw first hand what the national guard did, i was alive when kent state happened i saw what the national guard did, the last time i was in portland oregon 35 of us were pulled over, because i would not wear a helmut, the national guard came with full autos and watched as the cops took pictures of all of us, we were the gang bangers of yesterday.
Now even jay leno rides a harley (lol) makes a joke out of what was once really special.
In my whole life, i have never seen a cop help a person, have no friends they have helped, the only time i have talked to them was to find out where they were holding my friends, or to get out of jail myself.
you can believe that the cops, guard and army are there to help you, i happen to know better, they will run over your ass getting out the door or city before you, they are in it to save themselves and the ones they care for.
I watched a special on that the other night. They didn't only have N.O. bangers in town but some from as far as Miami all in town for the same purpose; looting. There were actual turf wars going on there. I've spent a bit of time in N.O. and I do believe that they did have trouble with the bangers. VERY previlant!!

I know what ya mean about the cops but like all others, there are good ones and all the others. As for myself, I ride a Heritage Softtail Classic so I understand where your coming from. The law doesn't really appreciate bikers or what they have on their back...I'm sure you know where I'm coming from.

Well, take a hit for you and a hit for me and if we seem to disagree, take a hit for you and a hit for me!
