Motorcycle gang attack. What would you have done?

I agree with the photos but lets really kick it up a notch. Wall St types and politicos who rob and steal and cause taxpayers hardship due to bailouts and theft. Where's Corzine, not in cuffs. Elites will never pay, they walk. Criminal enterprise just turned 100 years old. The Enterprise/Cabel in question had their glorious day in Dec, 1933. Just prior to XMAS eve, Dec 23rd,1933. Not tin foil material.

You know, not to split hairs here but having grown up where I could go to motorcycle related gatherings yearly I have to ask myself are those guys really a gang? I have personal acquaintances that are members of REAL motorcycle gangs like the Outlaws.

So my question is:

Are those guys really a gang?
or
A collection of wannabe douche bags that are lucky that they didn't run in to someone who was a legally armed citizen?

I think they are the latter.

I would go with the latter also.
I drive a 1 ton Dully, there would have been more of them under my wheels, if they had pulled this on me.

It depends greatly on the state for exact legal definition.  In general though you need the following elements to be considered an illegal gang.

Some commonality that links you together in law, or in fact.  A group of guys who agree to ride together on a specific date/time/place satisfies this requirement.

A minimum number of participants.  Three is the smallest I know of.  I think 10 would satisfy any state.  Needless to say, this group certainly had the minimum number

Finally, the group must be engaged in a pattern of illegal behavior as a part of the membership.

In Alabama, for instance, your street basketball team could be classified as a gang.  In their state the minumum number is three members, and spitting in public is a crime.  So, a case could definitely be made that a group of guys playing street ball in AL are a criminal gang.

Ain't law fun?
