Anyone who has witnessed the car chases initiated by police in California know the danger to average citizens. People complain when there are chases on the road. The folks that work for a living know it is best just to let it pass and the police can carry investigations rather than high speed chases.
This is what bikers do. There is a reason they travel in gangs.
The bikers have respect for law enforcement. This form of organization to stop police before they get started recognizes the power they have in numbers. They know they can get caught and charged, but, in a gang they outnumber any police effort. There is no reason for police to risk their lives or the lives of innocent people. It just isn't worth it.
Let's see.
If I were a biker why would I go to south Florida, Dade County on MLK Birthday? Hm.
I know. It is because of the electioneering of 2000. That might be the very issue that drives them there. It probably gives them a moral issue to carry out a message for their black brother bikers. Yes, there are black bikers, too.
Honestly, sometimes there is just no respect, ya know?
The Golden Rule of the Bad Boy Biker World is, don't piss them off and you'll be fine. They aren't in town hunting for virgins or your best silver, they are simply carrying out their purpose in life according to Valhalla.
There is a group of women bikers in North Carolina that "Ride for a Cure." They don't call them breasts, they call them "ta-tas".
A little bit of advise. FOX should not bring this stuff up. Next year some Tea-Partiers will get on a bus and travel to Dade County for the purpose of confronting them. The police don't need the help.
Sure, sure, everyone has a right to hear the news and it is news, but, the context in which it is presented is important. It is good to hear from the extremes of American society once in awhile. When I was traveling one summer in Vermont a large biker gang with conversion van in tow passed through a cross roads. We all stopped regardless of the traffic light and just waited for them to pass. No problems and they didn't make the news either.
They don't scare me. The KKK scares me more than a biker gang could. I have never heard of a Tea Party movement to end white supremacy. They should give it some thought.

Motorcyclists and ATV riders (click here) took over the streets of Miami-Dade and Broward counties, ignoring traffic lights, driving the wrong way down city streets and speeding on sidewalks on Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
At least 150 riders started in Miami-Dade County about 3:30 p.m., moving north into Broward County on Interstate 95. Riders went as far north as Pompano Beach before turning back south as night fell.
Although it's illegal to drive an ATV or an unauthorized motorcycle on roads in both counties, officials said they did not chase the riders or pull them over because it was too dangerous.
High speed chases — especially with motorcycles — create unnecessary dangers for law enforcement, the people they're pursuing and civilian drivers, said Sgt. Mark Wysocky, spokesman for the Florida Highway Patrol
"It's a danger to the public," he said....
