Now here's a point that I've never seen made by any commentator. Given that a crazed individual brought a gun to the concert and then pulled it a mere twenty feet from the stage, don't you think that it was a good thing that there were some no nonsense enforcers in the form of the Hell's Angels to provide security? Had your typical security guards been hired to provide event security, might they not have just stood back and watched in horror as this fellow just started shooting at everybody? How many people would have been killed then?
I agree fully. In a perfect world they would have just beat the guy silly and not stabbed the guy to death, but they did effectively stop the crazed idiot and that's what counts.
Honestly, we can thank Hollywood for the fuel that drives one's attraction to the outlaw mentality and aesthetic. It's been that way as far back as one cares to go with respect to the last century. They built that machine from the ground up. The first bike clubs post WWII were just misfit reflections of war time aftermath comradery meets the Hollywood Cowboy/Gangster notion.
Shit, all these street gang/outlaw clubs are just a deranged bi-product of that same projector reel. A more so direct product of a very poor up bringing.
The US has always practiced a completely BS notion of what it means to effectively enforce the laws that are designed to protect those who can't (or better put, shouldn't have to) protect themselves.
It's all about control, or at least it should be. We have none thanks to the social engineers and "poor pathetic me" baby sitters we have in our government. It's getting worse quick too. The bad guys get stronger and the weak just get weaker.
