A Real American! Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 DENVER (AP) — One person was fatally shot and seven others were injured in a shooting and stabbing at a motorcycle expo on Saturday, Denver police said. Police Chief Robert White told reporters that it was unclear what prompted the incident at the National Western Complex, where the Colorado Motorcycle Expo was being held this weekend. Police were interviewing several witnesses, including those being treated at the hospital, and were also talking to one person of interest, he said. Investigators believe there was an exchange of gunfire at about 1 p.m. In addition to the person who was shot and killed, three others were shot, another person was stabbed and three others suffered injuries from a fistfight, White said. full story + images + video: http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/police-1-dead-7-hurt-in-shooting-stabbing-at-denver-expo/ar-BBoUcv7?ocid=spartandhp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocM Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Sounds like the biker gang wars we had in the 1970-2000 timeframe. Almost always about organized crime turf or someone messed with someone else's female, usually from a rival gang. We had biker battles in our ER, admitting, radiology, and even an attempt to assassinate rival bikers in the ICU; our security (Sheriff's deputies) stopped two coming off the elevator with Uzi's. Never a dull moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The anecdote shows they haven't changed one bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ph1b3r0pt1c Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Most of the gangs i rode with prefered to beat someone to death and not shoot them. 90% had a small piece of stainless steel chain they would use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocM Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 (edited) The rougher gangs have been into drug dealing for eecades, now especially meth. When in that game everyone else is armed to the teeth, so they weaponed up too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
