Its pretty simple math in my book. |

Its pretty simple math in my book. | It shocked me a bit because it sounds like the plot from a forty year old American International B-Movie. I don't see why the bikers can't be treated like gang bangers in LA who are rouotinely picked on any imaginable citation just to keep them off the streets. I suspect the bike gangs have more money and are more connected to people who actually make things hard for the cops.

Sure, what we see is the gang banging shoot outs and murder initiations. What we dont see, are the very top of those orginizations (ie top tier bosses of the bloods, crips, what have you). I willing to bet some of those guys are a lot better off than you and I think they are... |

whoever is doing this is pretty stupid, tbh. if any of their stunts actually do something and officers get hurt or killed, they're gonna bring in all kinds of cavalry to assist the cops there. i dont' care how big that gang is they will not survive that kind of escalation.

And again the other problems of lack of budget, resources and time where as gang members have all sorts of time.

You won't find them just chilling on the corner trying to push some rocks out on the street. Their association is more akin to a mafia, just look at these attacks, you dont find gang banging cholos doing this. Ive lived in gang swamped areas, and I know some people who know Vagos, theyre certainly a lot more organized than the neighborhood gang. I wouldnt be surprised if they had members in the very same agencies these attacks were perpetrated upon. Quote:

Things would not go well for said rival gang should the Vagos uncover their identity.
