Bikers are not going to coddle snowflakes
I have to laugh the way Republicans call Democrats "Snowflakes". It so better fits Republicans.

Absolutely terrible idea. This is why nations employ police forces, so we don't get brown-shirt civilian militia nonsense like this.
Riley has insisted that “10-20 million people” will descend on Washington, and guaranteed a minimum of 10 million: “We’re trusting there’s going to be about 10 million or more people that are going to be there to back this up, verified, validated.”

Cops are Subject to Rules of Engagement and Policies set down by Politicians , Bikers are Not .
Correct. These bikers are not bound by rules and policies directed at law enforcement, but they are subject to the laws of DC.
By placing themselves between protesters and law enforcement, they open themselves up to liabilities.
I am sure they All have Lawyers at the Ready , and Bail Money in case of Arrest . I am Also sure they will Only Act in a Defensive Manner if Provoked with Due Cause .

Expect to see a lot more "brown-shirt civilian militia nonsense" under Trump!
I wonder how many actually show up.... a few hundred probably.

The "protestors" would in all likelihood be the ones instigating violence, where the "bikers" are there to keep them in check.
That's the difference.

I don't think that they're 1%ers, although some may be. It's not the same thing as a bunch of drugged out red and white looking for any reason to get busy.

They're willing to make that sacrafice in order to protect the folks that just want to be left alone. I've seen countless of these "protests" where there just aren't enough cops to effectively keep the peace. The inauguration will be a much bigger beast altogether.

It's not their place to keep anyone in check. If the protesters are instigating violence and the bikers step in, they may guilty of interfering with official acts, or could be charged with a crime themselves if they physically engage the protesters.

Your post is an excellent example of one of the fundamental differences between our political ideologies. While people like myself believe that the citizen is superior to the government, your post shows the opposite. While people like myself feel that I shouldn't have to rely upon the government to defend myself, but should rather turn and run, you believe the opposite. That is why there is division.

I'll give you an opportunity to explain exactly why your post is bigoted. Funny thing about you libs...you scream bigotry constantly but have no problem being a bigot yourself
