Four horsemen of the trumopolipse.

The United States is learning some hard lessons in why we can’t just do things the way we’ve always done them.

In a couple of weeks there are going to be a lot of used Harleys on sale cheap.

Sales to cover medical bills.

Estate sales.

Cheap because there will be so many at the same time, flooding the market.

Several of the bikers interviewed had similar comments, to the effect, “If I get COVID I get it. It was my choice.

But sadly, Grandma and Grandpa back home, and all the other friends and family, and all the “essential workers” providing services on the long road home, did not make that choice.

Your right to swing your fist ends where someone else’s nose begins.

Your “freedom” ends where infecting others begins.

For those who say they can’t be forced to wear something they don’t want to, just try walking down Main Street naked.

I certainly hope the medical people who end up dealing with these people get plenty of help. As well as PPE, overtime, enough rest and NOT infected. I keep thinking that stupidity should  be more immediately lethal… but then I remember being a teenager, so maybe stupidity should somehow become more lethal over time?

Hey, it’s the four horsemen of the Americalypse.

What ever happened to the good old days when rival gangs just shot and killed each other ? With this Covid-19 stuff it makes it next to impossible to know if you’ve killed them or who it was you killed. Just as many killers in churches now as those in bars packing guns before.

Does it take a good guy with a Bible to protect himself from with a bad guy with a Bible. Are those the Two Corinthians that Trump knew?

Bikers travel in herds, like sheep. Corona virus prefers herds, maybe some good here, after all.

Smash Mouth and the concert organizers should be charged with reckless disregard, but I forgot, it’s South Dakota.

Quite appropriate that Ignorance is portrayed as the Grim Reaper.

I feel sorry for the people who have to serve these jerks in Sturgis bars and restaurants.

they’d be contributing to improving the gene pool if they all weren’t already so damn old…

Riding now for “Ma liberty from the oppression of masks.”, survivors will also be riding later in support of those true patriots, the anti vaxxers.

Egocentrism!

60% of the people of Sturgis wanted to cancel the event. The mercantile faction, for whom this is like Christmas, wanted it to go forward. The money won, as usual. But they also argued that bikers would show up anyway, which would appear to be true. The town is going to have a mass testing once this circus is over. I feel for the majority of folks in Sturgis, and for the ones around the country who are going to be infected after this.

Here’s an idea; let’s allow allow these rallies, but with one provision – all attendees will then be quarantined together for the next 14 days.

Hell must be recruiting more angels.

Darwin is alive and well with this group. Time will tell..7-14 days, tick tick tick.

At least it’s S. Dakota. Heaven forbid it was a real state of concern.

Mass Stupidity.

Those old boys have been around for a long time. All of humanity has one version or another. If we whittled the population down to a half a dozen there would be four like that.

In the Good Old Days if the Hells Angels were for it. America was against it.

Now the Republicans treat them like Heros.

THEY ARE STILL THE BAD GUYS

Might be a lot of future “ex-bikers” that attended Sturgis this year

I saw them cruising in on Highway 93 near Missoula. Lemmings came to mind.
