Re: No sympathy for the Bikers?

Abe, I don't know if your junior high bully used to pick on you, if your boss is mean to you you, or what people have done to treat you poorly, but you need to get some counseling to deal with these feelings. If you have so much animosity toward people who treat others badly that you don't feel bad when they are killed by being run over by a truck (not a nice way to go), you have some serious issues. We don't even know the Bikers' side of the story, and given all of the actions of the murdurer leading up to this incident (fights, stealing, drunk), why should we take his word on what happened? The alleged punch may be a lie to or he may have done much more to provoke the punch. How do we know he wasn't just mad becasue they wouldn't buy his stupid silver certificate? In any event, there are two reasoanble responses to a punch (1) the macho man response of punching back and using the amount of force necessary to defend yourself or (2) the civilized man response of reporting the assault to the proper authorities. (If he can follow them to run them over, he can get the plate numbers and report them.) However, because the murderer was a gutless chicken and car thief, he cowardly tried to kill them while safe inside his truck and then tried to run from the law. How can you feel more sympathy for him than the Bikers? He had every option and chose his fate. The Bikers didn't choose theirs, even if they did punch him. Please go talk with the people who are treating you poorly or otherwise deal with these feelings before your response gets similarly out of hand. I'm sorry to get so personal, but I just think your reply was so far out there that you need to think about it.

I'm sorry, but this twit disagrees with your reasoning. No matter what the horrible crap (in this case one punch and laughing is alleged) committed by a group in society, they don't deserve to be run over without first holding them responsible in a fair way for their crap. If all of the "Outlaw Bikers" deserve to be run over because some (maybe even a great number) are terrible people who did horrible crap, the next logical step is race wars and ethnic clensing. There are black people in certain neighborhoods that have done terrible things, and groups of white people who have done terrible things, and lots of other groups, so do all blacks and whites deserve to die? Do we start running them over as soon as they don anything bad because we already believe thay are bad? Catholics, Mormons, Baptists, Hindus, Buddists, and other religious groups better be ready to die if we think they have ever done terrible things. BE CERTAIN THAT MANY IF NOT MOST CAR DRIVERS DON'T DISTINGUISH BETWEEN AN OUTLAW BIKER AND YOU ON YOUR BIKE; do you and I deserve to be run over because we own a motorcyle? The bottom line is that nobody deserves to be killed, at least not without a fair trial and credible evidence of their INDIVIDUAL bad deeds warranting such punishment. I was a a smartass replying to Abe, a frequent poster to this site, but my point is valid.
