This same story was posted on a local list, and most of the responses were people going off on the goverment, big brother, the FBI, the president and all those meddlers preying on the poor motorcycles. Until their list admin posted "its fake guys" with a link to snopes.com report on it. I sensed many a "nevermind" thoughts coming from those who ripping the government to shreds just moments before.
Please if you're going to post this kind of stuff, check it out first. Sure it sounds real because its easy to believe the worst about our leaders in the government (they are scoundrels on all sides). But these things spread like wildfire these days with social media. By the time people have learned its fake the pitchfork mob may have already assembled and started marching.
When I clicked the link early this week to read the story I noticed a banner with breaking news, one item said George Zimmeran declared he's running for president in 2016. As Norm said, more like the Onion than the Wash Post.
Its April Fool's day today, so be particularly careful about what you believe.
PS Death to our overlords. Aging biker gangs rock.
