I was working in Laughlin NV during the Harrah's biker gang shootout in 2002, and I remember how they rushed right in and shut down the River Run forever after... oh no wait, they didn't, because the River Run attracts mostly rich white bikers. I attended River Run 2014 a month and a half ago. It's such a relief to know only black bikers shoot people.

Why doesn't she just put up a billboard: "Hi! I'm a racist!".
