Justice???? Read

This is for all us that ride motorcycles, wether it be Harleys or any brand, so please take the time to read this. Three weeks ago, I had the opportunity to take a ride with the ABATE of Ohio group from Warren Co. Ohio. It was a beautiful fall day, sunny and clear, not cloud in the sky. About half way thru the ride Bob Bryant told us that he had to leave, he had a prior engagment. So we all said our goodbyes and split up. Less than an hour later, we were informed Bob had been in an accident. A car had cut across in front of him at an intersection. Of course this put damper on the remainder of the rdie, cause we were concerned for Bob and his family. Less than an hour later, we were told Bob didn't make it to the hospital, we were shocked that a good man like him had been taken from us. He was the kind of man that would do anything for anyone especially kids. Last night at the Fairfield Chapter meeting of HOG, were Bob was also a member, we were told that the sentencing of the girl that hit Bob was to be on the 28th of Oct. She is to recieve 90 days (suspended) and a fine. Now I don't about you guys and gals, but I think my life is worth more than 90 days (suspended) and a fine. But her parents had hired two mouthpieces and they had cut a deal with the local DA, your tax dollars at work. The Judge said it's was all Bob's fault for riding without a helment, and for riding a motorcycle in the first place. This is after the girl admits to being on her ear held voice activated life support system (cellphone) and cutting in front of Bob. Now, if you ask me this smacks of prejudice. So the HOG group is going to be there for the sentencing, we are going to ride up to be a public but silent protest of this miscarriage of justice. Now, here comes the part that chaps my ass. The girls mom was interviewed and made some reamrks to the effect, that her daughter was such a sweet young thing and should be given every second chance she could get, because "all bikers are nothing but druggies anyway". Now what gives this woman the right to generalize and make these statments about people she doesn't even know? Let her come to a HOG meeting, or a Toys for Tots Run and say these things. She doen't know people like Bob, who qwned a soccer field and would do anything for anybody, so we need to get this out and hope something can be sone in the future to stop this kind of prejudice and foul use of justice against bikers. I hope you guys read this and get it out, forward it to anyone and print it off and post it on bulletin bouards something has to be done. Thank you...... Michael Estes Covington KY.
