CAVING IN ON DRUGS

It is a shame that the judge decided to cave in to the idiots over at
the ACLU and let all of the drug-taking freaks that attended the rave
last fall to get off scott-free. Each and every one of the people at
that rave knew there were drugs there, drugs have been found at every
rave that police have raided.

Racine does not want drugged-up losers in our city thrashing around
and being amazed by glow sticks and sucking on pacifiers.

Our city is better than that. I applaud the Police Department for
shutting down that rave and keeping our streets safe. If they had not
shut it down, all those drugged-up people would have been driving home
while they were high, and who knows how many car accidents there might
have been that night? So many of these ravers would like us to believe
that they are all a bunch of peace-loving folks that just want to have
fun, but the truth is they are miscreants who enjoy rebelling and
breaking the law. One other thing, Konopka should know that Harley
riders are not unruly louts and drunks, they are hard-working
Americans who enjoy a great Wisconsin motorcycle and the friendly
parties that happen when other Harley buffs all get together. You
could have 100,000 bikers in the Milwaukee area and you will only have
a couple of incidents where that police are needed. That is a class
act in my book, people having a good time and being respectful to
others in the process. Wisconsin will always welcome Harley riders;
they are a welcome change to drugged-up ravers.
