A website called PedalToTheMedal.com posted a story on Saturday about some animal rights activists who decided to protest at a motorcycle gang rally because the bikers wore leather. I don't condone lawbreakers and bullying, and I don't necessarily think all bikers are horrible people, but I do think there was a certain lack of common sense in deciding to protest a motorcycle gang rally because they wore leather. (I would like to note at this point that I was once privileged to sit in on keyboards for a biker band called the "Righteous Rockers" in New Orleans.)
Three of the protestors were reported missing after the protest, and the police had to be called in.
According to the article:
"According to witnesses, protesters arrived at the event in a vintage 1960's era Volkswagen van and began to pelt the gang members with balloons filled with red colored water, simulating blood, and shouting "you're murderers" to passers by. This, evidently, is when the brouhaha began."
That's not a protest--that's assault! Again, I do not condone violence, but it seems as if the animal rights group was not used to being challenged when they assaulted people, and the biker gang simply met force with force.
