Club members being unfairly treated

s a member of a motorcycle club, I would like to point out that these men were part of your community before they belonged to a motorcycle club. Why judge these men now? Just because they belong to a club?

They are the same individuals as they were before. Why did you not pass judgment on them before they joined? If they were such “bad men” of your community, why didn’t they investigate them years ago?

There will always be motorcycle clubs in almost every community across America. It would be more productive of the “task force” of your community to focus on the drug dealers of the community. That would be money well spent. Or the drunken drivers who cruise up and down the streets on a daily basis.

The prosecuting attorney should focus on real criminals and not just because he belongs to a Motorcycle club.

I stopped drinking 14 or so years ago, haven’t been to jail since, don’t drink and drive and don’t commit crimes. I own my own business, manage an apartment complex, obey the rules society has set down for citizens to use and I belong to a motorcycle club. Next time don’t judge a book by its cover. Leave the motorcycle club out of the equation and focus on individuals of the community. Not all club members are bad people.
