Archery, motorcycling, water rockets, and other useless hobbies

Just great.  Motorcyclists don’t need this kind of people.

Drivers Attacked By Motorcycle Riders

First it’s the loud pipe crowd, and now this.  Here’s what I’m suspecting: the group of motorcyclists are riding in a large group, and some cars are probably passing in an unsafe manner on the left and right.  Read as “in an illegal manner” of passing.  The bikers then get pissed off (rightfully so) and take matters into their own hands (wrong thing to do).  It sounds like in one incident, a car was kicked and in another a rock was thrown through the back window of a car.

Why are motorcyclists carrying rocks while riding?  If they were, then they’re punks looking for trouble.

Anyway, the right thing to do is to call the cops … which is extremely difficult to do on a motorcycle.  Or write down their license plate … also a hard thing to do on a motorcycle.

I hope these motorcycle punks get caught before they really hurt someone, or create such a bad reputation for other motorcyclists that more of our rights get infringed upon.

REMINDER: Someday I’m going to write an entry on my thoughts on loud pipes and hopefully present it from a scientific viewpoint.  Hint: I’m not in favor of loud pipes.


What this group does is evil.  I was going to say “approaching evil”, but there’s no use beating around the bush.  Evil.

From Breitbart.com comes the story “Jury Awards Father $2.9M in Funeral Case

In my previous posting, I had was mistaken.  This is a civil suit which has a much lower burden of proof than a criminal suit.  Thus the suit isn’t about what the Phelps Gang can and cannot say, but what damage their free speech inflicts.

Wow.  $2.9M though!  The gang isn’t worth that, for sure.  They’ll be paying that off for the rest of their miserable lives.  Just like OJ.  OJ has friends that fund his golf game.  (Grrr.)  I don’t think the Phelps Gang has those kinds of friends however.  Unless god drops them some coin, that is. :)
