As someone who grew up and lives in a family full of bikers, with my dad being in a bike club, 3 of my cousins and so forth I always hated the negative press they get and their image.
This, this is just awesome if you ask me

Nice. Hard not to get emotional when people go out of their way to help strangers.

Wasn't there a biker club that followed the Westboro Baptist Chruch around to their funeral demonstrations in order to drown out their presence for the grieving families?

Come to think of it, I'd love to see some bikers tangle with Westboro's nutters.

Yes, there was.

No you don't. That's exactly what they want. Never forget that the Westboro people are run by lawyers and they make money by suing people that assault them or state agencies that violate their first amendment rights. They aren't interested in saving anyone's souls. Maybe they once were, but not any longer. They want to make money and headlines.

That is certainly the case for the church leader, but for the rest of the members, do you really think they are as cynical ? I do not think they get the money. Really, from what I heard about how they treat those that left the Church, it seems like it is really a cult that does not encourage any personal thinking and which is hold in an iron grip by the leaders.

I can't really comment on all of them. That's a fair point, HSoO.

I do agree with you that they've probably crossed into cult territory along the lines, with the leaders brainwashing new members.

If I was any near the westboro church I'd do something to piss them off as much as I could, why isn't that a sect of the government, the NFUA (national f*** you association), or even just a group of volunteers, nothing violent just maybe infuriate them to do something illegal, seriously why are a groups like this allowed to exist...

Yeah, yeah. I know and have heard and read that before. It doesn't stop the monkey part of my brain from desiring an epic level ass beating for those church members.

Besides, how many morgues cash settlement checks these days? None? Cool. Let the bikers loose!

Yeah, but they looked like the most confused collection of guys in the world, and the actors had to work really hard to stir them up to vague action. The whole thing was cringeworthy with no real effort on the part of the jack ass guys.

Like Kronk said, yes. The KKK did it once too. Also, there wasn't there a group called Anonymous that did it too?.

Then again, if I was sued for beating them up, I would much rather simply pay up and do it again.

I hate being mean to others, but to these people, I can make an exception.

Can't sue if you're slowly being digested by pigs....

I'm glad cults like that aren't allowed to fester here.

When I was a teenager I lived at a child shelter and a biker gang donated a bunch of PS2s and other video games to the shelter. This doesn't mean they're good guys. Depending on the biker gang, they are often organized criminals. They're just organized criminals who sometimes do nice things.

Biker gangs are alright with me but to say they don't deserve their image, ehhhhh...
