Quote from the article:
| The statement from Attorney General John Kroger goes on to say how his office convicted a "Grants Pass-based outlaw motorcycle gang member" on charges of coercion and unlawful use of a weapon. Now, is it a gang or a club? I don't know the Vagos, but I know a lot of bikers who are having a very hard time with their civil rights these days, and the semantics are important. Police and prosecutors are in a new time when words like "terrorist" instantly mean that a person loses their treasured Civil Rights, simply over a charge, an allegation. "Gang member" isn't as bad, yet... but where does it end? This is where the rubber of real Civil Liberty meets the asphalt. |
