Am I reading this right? The major violence was one person getting shot.
Presumably, the two getting stabbed constitutes only minor violence, and the
bar brawl was just a sideshow.

What's that supposed to mean? That HOG, for instance, is a "gang"?

"Once percenter" is a term that came into use after an *alleged*
public statement by the American Motorcyclist Association.

From: http://ijms.nova.edu/November2005/IJMS_Artcl.Dulaney.html

The _Life_ story [about Hollister] caused something of a tumult
around the country (Yates), and some authors have asserted that
the AMA subsequently released a press statement disclaiming
involvement in the Hollister event, stating that 99% of motorcyclists
are good, decent, law-abiding citizens, and that the AMAÂ’s ranks
of motorcycle clubs were not involved in the debacle (e.g., Reynolds,
Thompson).

If you're that ignorant of it, I would suggest you steer clear
of anyone wearing a black leather vest with insignia on it.

Don't forget, we're all terrorists according to Donald Rumsfield, why
not gang members while we're at it.

Here's another bummer article regarding this year's rally.

wound to the neck, according to the Meade County Sheriff's Office.

Several people were on the bus at the time of the stabbing.

In Tuesday's shooting, Chad John Wilson, 30, of Lynnwood, Wash., and
John James Midmore, 32, of Valparaiso, Ind., face five counts of
attempted first-degree murder. A judge set bond Thursday at $5 million
each.

has the father of Midmore saying his son has lived for the past decade
in Canada, staying in Vancouver. This would make him an illegal
immigrant and he should be deported at once if he returns to this
country. The VPD should immediatly investigate everything he has been
doing in Vancouver all this time.
