Texas Biker War?

If this had happened in Charming, California, nobody would even hear about this. Nine bikers dying in a shooting in Charming was a weekly occurrence.

Kill a few cops? No big deal. Blow up a couple buildings? Hardly touches the radar.
 
some interesting legal issues raised in this LA case...

https://www.wsj.com/articles/feds-take-aim-at-biker-gangs-colors-1433107921

Federal prosecutors are trying a novel legal tactic to strike at the heart of what they consider a notorious outlaw motorcycle gang: using trademark law to take away its treasured logo....

...For years, federal authorities have claimed that the Mongols name and logo, which the club has registered as trademarks with the federal government, serve as a source of intimidation and a banner under which members have committed crimes. By taking over the trademarks, which would make it illegal to display the Mongols “colors,” the Justice Department believes it can essentially neuter the club....

...The case is playing out in the wake of a bloody shootout among rival bikers in Waco, Texas, in May that left nine dead and 18 wounded, an event that drew national attention to the subculture of outlaw motorcycle gangs.

That turf-war incident—which didn’t involve the Mongols—exploded into violence after members of one gang began wearing a patch that signified its dominance in Texas, infuriating a rival group.

Motorcycle clubs around the nation are watching the Los Angeles trial closely. “They are worried that if they can do this to the Mongols, they can do it to anybody,” said Donald Charles Davis, an expert on motorcycle clubs who chronicles biker news on his blog, the Aging Rebel. “The idea seems to be that you can ban motorcycle clubs by stripping them of their insignia.”

The case against the Mongols dates to 2008, when federal prosecutors charged dozens of members with crimes ranging from murder to weapons trafficking to money laundering, after undercover agents with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives infiltrated the group. Prosecutors won convictions against members including former president Ruben “Doc” Cavazos.

But they went a step further and formally sought to take possession of the club’s trademarked name and logo. That is an unusual use of federal forfeiture law, which empowers the government to seize assets from convicted criminals.
 
I say give the biker gangs their own city somewhere, maybe the wilds of Texas. Arm them all with plenty of ammo and let them fight it out. Last man standing wins and gets to be mayor of whatever **** hole city we gave them, and wins a new car. Like a Camry.

Gather up all the outlaw bikers and gangs, arm them to the teeth, one way ticket to the Middle East and turn them lose in Syria and Iraq.
 
I think these bikers are getting credit for being tougher than they really are. For the most part they look like fat, uneducated, middle aged, dumb asses to me.
 


very funny. lawmakers, government and law enforcer always seem to think criminals are boudn by law and adhere to it. so making more laws(eg banning guns or in this case logos) will suddenly make em ban the criminal live.

like we gonna ride, get gun sillegally, smoke dope, bitchslapp bitches, all cus we have our trademarked logo. then all the sudden ooh wait we cant kill, buy guns, prostitute women, cus our logo is illegal.

hahahaah
stoopid bureaucrats.

Meh I was going for the easiest route. Easier to relocate a few rednecks and surreptitious weed farmers than millions of people. Be realistic!

really easier?


what would be easier. relocating 100 texans from a farm armed to the teeth?

or a 100.000 neutered unarmed ***** new yorkians??

edit 1: (i know texas aint got 100 inhabitants and new york not having a 100)
just syaing a larger group of nuetered subjects of new york will be easier to handle then a small group of citizens from texas


edit2: **** relocating if you just send all bikers to new york. all new yorkians would piss their pants and escape new york
