How many bikers kill innocent victims in drive by shootings in this country each week? It's not that they are not violent, they certainly are. But we don't have riots over this kind of thing when the bikers do it. If we did, then I'm absolutely certain it wold make the news. If you can't see the difference, then I can't help you.
