Interesting to read because as you get to the heart of this story, the only thing mentioned is a minor scuffle between about 20 bikers mixed in with stories about "flash mobs" and "motorcycle gang members fighting" without much detail. It's almost like the biker angle is an excuse to make everyone feel better. You decide.


Quote from the article:

Already reeling from flash mobs, city police have another concern to deal with in Center City this weekend: biker gangs. The wildly popular 12th annual Philadelphia Tattoo Arts Convention, which returns Friday through Sunday, was marred last March by a fight between motorcycle gang members just outside the Sheraton at 17th and Race streets. “We’re doing no ‘MC colors’ this year by order of the local police and hotel,” convention organizer Troy Timpel said Thursday, referring to the color patches worn by different biker gangs. As if flash mobs weren’t enough to deal with, officers will again closely monitor the Center City convention. Undercover officers last year saw a skirmish break out between Pagans and Outlaws, which included about 20 brawlers before some 30 officers arrested them and recovered some handguns.

See what I mean?
