I will be breaking down two videos oftwo separate incidences where two separate members of the pagansmotorcycle club were confronted by non patch holders. All this wascaught on camera. Was it weakness or was it smart of the members towalk away because they were being filmed. On one hand I say it wassmart, especially when being recorded. On the other hand it does givethe Pagans MC a bad look. What say you?
Manymotorcyclists of the Vagos Motorcycle Club were riding through theVal Verde area and apparently flying their colors Saturday afternoon,Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department officials said.
Accordingto Deputy Villalobos of the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station,numerous calls came in about the riders.
“However,”Villalobos said just before 1 p.m., “they’re not committing anycrimes, so there’s not much we can do. Our hands are tied.”
There are those who'll tell you thatit's up to you to wear a motorcycle helmet, as it's your right toworry about your own safety. And there's a kernel of truth to thatidea, as I'm not your mother or father. You're an adult, and youshould take care of yourself.
But here's the real truth, humans are inherently stupid animals,and we do all manner of dumb things all the freakin' time. We can'tleave our phones in a cupholder for a second while driving apotentially idiotic 10,000-pound electric Hummer, for Pete's sake.Why should we then be entrusted with our own safety?
And that's sorta where I'm at in terms of helmet laws, as I'm verymuch for them. Not because I like a nanny state or big government, Ireally don't. But because I'd rather not see my fellow motorcyclistsdie a horribly painful death because they were too freakin' stupid tojust wear a full face helmet while out on the road. I mean, the datasays it all, theyincrease your chances of survival in an accident.
