Title: Harsh reality...

This is the same story via USA Today that was on another post.  With the additional information that the bikers were 1 percenters (outlaw motorcycle gang) and the truck driver was a raging drunk, one can almost argue that Darwin has worked again.  In my view the biggest downside is the bad PR that this reflects on all motorcyclists.  Otherwise, good riddance. That's the reality.

I guess they really don't teach Darwin's theory in the US...

I think I'd push for the death penalty too if I had the Outlaws after me.  I feel bad for the guy though.  "Violence breeds Violence"  The article said the guy had a history of child-abuse.  They should find the guys parents' and give them the chair, they f%&ked his world up since day one.

"It's our hope that they would allow this to be handled by law enforcement and the judicial system instead of it getting to a street-level thing,"

I can see the "Outlaws" letting the authorities handdle everyting.. :nono:

He is a bad drunk. Trash the house, argue with the Wife, steal a truck, try to sell collectible currency to bikers wearing colors and then call them old.......

I just fall asleep or listen to my wireless headphones too loud, play air guitar and get busted by my Wife for playing air guitar drunk....she usually lets me go a while before she taps me on the shoulder.  :roll:

Rule # 4: Don't F with bikers. (Just a note to myself)
