So Who Are These Outlaw Bikers?

[Solar]

They're us, the American people.

Nuclear power plant technicians, senior military officers, FBI contractors and an employee of "a highly-secretive Department of Defense agency" with a Top Secret clearance. Those are just a few of the more than 100 people with sensitive military and government connections that law enforcement is tracking because they are linked to "outlaw motorcycle gangs."

A year before the deadly Texas shootout that killed nine people on May 17, a lengthy report by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives detailed the involvement of U.S. military personnel and government employees in outlaw motorcycle gangs, or OMGs. A copy of the report was obtained by The Intercept.

The report lays out, in almost obsessive detail, the extent to which OMG members are represented in nearly every part of the military, and in federal and local government, from police and fire departments to state utility agencies. Specific examples from the report include dozens of Defense Department contractors with Secret or Top Secret clearances; multiple FBI contractors; radiological technicians with security clearances; U.S. Department of Homeland Security employees; Army, Navy and Air Force active-duty personnel, including from the special operations force community; and police officers.

"The OMG community continues to spread its tentacles throughout all facets of government," the report says.

Bulshit, some Guy who throws on a leather jacket with a patch, sunglasses and rides a Harley with a bunch of other guys on the weekend (ala wild hogs) is a "biker" gang to these idiots. They wouldn;t known real OMG's if it bit them in the ass....which they are known to do.

This sounds like another reason to mess with Conservatives or TEA people more than real "OMG's".

The other day, I was talking to some guys who were getting ready to ride (to the wall) Vietnam Memorial from the "old rolling thunder" days....all but one were ex cops, and he was a retired Marine. We were talking about how "bikers" are truly an American invention, started by WW2 veterans. "Bikers" are part of our culture and they symbolize everything Libs hate, personal freedom, rolling down the road with an AMErican made BIKE, BURNING Fossile fuel, WEARING THE flag ON YOUR JACKET, honoring veterans, in other words....patriotic.

No wonder some Govt wonk wants to get rid of them.

You're right, they are not distinguishing between actual OMG's and groups like the Patriot Guard Riders.
Just like when Reno singled out returning vets as potential terrorists, or Christian groups.
This administration is the lowest life scum to ever infest the WH.
