I am well aware that 1% bikers can be evil. What's wrong is saying that the government isn't and one evil can limit the excessive powers of another one. I am interested in creating and maintaining a better society for people to live in.

How is fueling an eternal conflict between organized crime and organized government a better society to live in?

So basically a whole bunch of biker gang thugs decided to shoot at each other in a crowded shopping centre with innocent civilians around.

I hope the surviving participants are never let out of prison. If we can't stamp out gang activity, the least we can do is give them some incentive to settle their feuds elsewhere.

So much for "an armed society is a polite society"...

Why yes let us look to the violent criminal organizations as evidence of how society works. Truly they are average citizens, and this incident reflects deeply on American culture. It is not at all like this situation could have been easily avoided by restaurant management working to keep the two different violent organizations separate.

Limit it by spraying each other with bullets over parking spaces, as opposed to elections.

Do you really think they are limiting each other's evils? The crips and bloods copied each other on drug selling practices, and apparently so did some of the biker gangs involved in this shooting.

Bikers are fine. But saying armed groups and no government somehow promote a better and more peaceful society does not add up.
I used to run an alliance, and a region. Not that it matters now.

Uh... No. Misdemeanors are most certainly crimes. A crime is any act that is prohibited by criminal law. A misdemeanor is one classification of criminal law.

There are also laws against doing nothing wrong at all. I once apealed a football ban carried out by the police via prosecutor to court, where they came to the conclusion that I wasn't suspected of doing anything illegal. Guilty!

Yes I do. You see the resteraunt hosted an event, which police warned them would lead to the rival biker gangs meeting. Police requested the resteraunt canncel or move events so the Ganga would not meet at the resteraunt. Management, both locally and apparently nationaly refused. So yes this event could have been avoided if management had listened to the police and worked to keep the rival gangs seperate.

No, the conclusion was correct. I wasn't suspected of any crimes, but the court considered it possible that I could commit crimes or somehow just cause a fuss (without breaking any laws) in the future, so they chose not to tear up the ban. That decision has also spawned other ridiculous judgements against me since it has been used to critisise my so called "troublesome background", which to be quite exact consists of crossing the street prior to a football game.

It was only locally. It was a franchise.

Zero white people crying over the bikers shot by the cops in Waco. No hashtags, no riots, no looting. That's the difference. Where are the flash mobs, where are the white community leaders? See, we don't aid and abet these thugs, we know they're pieces of s**t.

Remind me again how Freddie Gray was killed in a gangland shootout. Oh wait that's right he wasn't. He was killed as a result of Baltimore police officers purposefully endangering his life through a rough ride. Man maybe that's the actual difference. Who wudda thunk it.
