In the 80's and 90's every vehicle in the school parking lot had a deer rifle in it and every student carried a pocket knife for shop class. We never had a cutting or shooting. Mental illness, Medication and lack of parenting is the problem, not firearms.
I think the media doesn't help either. The mentally ill see all the coverage and see it as a way to live in infamy and to go out with a bang. Sad state society has fallen into.
The fighter in California was Ricky Slaton, who was a Mongol, not an Outlaw. The gang who fought folks in the crowd was also the Mongols MC, NOT the Outlaws MC. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ezk2gazhXIA.html
FSU stood for Friends Stand United, F**k Sh*t Up was a variation on it but most of their beef was due to them being a straight edge gang rooted in the hardcore and punk scenes, anti-corporate etc etc not just fighting for the sake of fighting at metal shows. They used to fight drug dealers, racists, nazi skinheads and cobbled a load of footage of that stuff together with slam dancing footage from shows on the 'Boston Beatdown' DVD which made them popular & they started to have sets in a few different US cities. It ended up getting out of hand though & a few random student kids got beatings for drinking or smoking at punk and hardcore shows or wearing confederate flag tee shirts at hardcore shows and that kinda thing. Even had their own episode on 'Gangland' back in the noughties. Elgin James was their 'leader' of sorts for years before he got in grief for blackmailing a guy from the punk band MEST who had a right wing nationalist past. He ended up moving on from the gang & writing Little Birds & Mayans MC. A fair few FSU folks apparently later joined the Outlaws. Seems kinda mad this dude can be FBI & an undercover & not even have clocked they were a straight edge gang. Cool interview though.
Of course they do on paper- these motorcycle clubs like to talk major shit and put out bounties and shit like that but nobody’s going out on a hit on a federal agent. That is how you get your entire club dismantled at the international level.
The sheriff's are the last line of defense constitutionally between the central government and the local people, local jurisdictions and since sheriff's are democratically elected from the local level they can determine whether or not to help federal authorities if the Feds come into an area and abuse their power they depend on sheriff's and cops. The sheriff's can put a stop to that so it matters to us to empower the sheriffs in states where sheriff's are strong and getting rid of weak sheriff's .
