NSW/SYD: banning colours

You either don't get it, or aren't listening, or both.

The problem is not those who ARE wearing 'outlaw colours', but those who
are THOUGHT to be, but in fact are not. Bouncers aren't known for being
the brightest of sparks - far from it, in fact. But are you trying to
tell me that they will be able to infallibly identify and differentiate
the correct people?

 

I went to a work do in a pub once and turned up in sneakers. Guy on the door
didn't want to let me in. Changed his mind when I told him it a) was a
private function and b) I had the money to pay for the lot.

So you think "Dumb Bouncers" will ban people who he thinks are wearing
"Outlaw Colors" but are not really, from the pub?



So what are these people wearing that are so "Outlaw Colorish" that are
capable of being mistaken for real "Outlaw Colors"?



Assuming of course that anyone wearing something resembling "Outlaw Colors"
manage to make it to the pub without being bashed senseless by "Real Outlaw
Bikies" as opposed to imitation look alike pretend "Outlaw Bikies".

For a smart person, you're being pretty thick today, I regret to say.

If you still can't work out how such a law could be very easily abused,
or simply don't care (both of which seem to apply), then I fail to see
the point in wasting any more time on you.

 

You know that, and I know that...but it seems corks and boxer couldn't
give a flying ****, period. That's the sort of attitude that gives us
laws like this in the first place, not that they would care about that
either.

 

How many outlaw club members do you see in a pub lately//
I would guess not many
Most outlaw clubs I know have their own clubhouse and have their own
beer/liquor supply and have no need to go to the pub except to top up their
abundant supply
and the word is "COLOURS" not the septic spelling colors

you are a fool boxer.....that is if you are or were a boxer,, you have taken
too many hits in the head and your brain is fucked

 

Actually, it was the English themselves who came up with what you
incorrectly label "septic spelling" - some time during the 16th/17th
centuries, iirc. But then, around the general period of the American
Revolution, they abandoned the language reforms that had resulted in
such modifications and reverted to forms derived from French. The
Americans, as they now called themselves, preferred to continue with the
reforms that the English themselves had instituted and then abandoned.

So...now that the history lesson is over, how about you **** off with
your Frenchified English, and start speaking it the way it should be
spoken?

It's not just colours, but anything with the logo of the gang, or
related to it.

So a t-shirt with "big red machine" on it, as that's a Hells Angels
publicity group.

We don't know what criteria they are using to decide what is a gang
logo or gang regalia, we don't know what criteria they are using to
pick one named/logoed group over another.

As the wearing of Colors originated in the USA and the term Colors was first
coined in the USA, the USA spelling is appropriate your pedantic twat.

well then plenty of patch d wear the swatstika in their ''uniform''....

 

what a crock - since when have 1%érs ever respected the rights of
others............

 

bravo applause , for a group that openly pertain to be outside of the law ,
they sure are quick to run to their lawyers
and cry

.....i didnt notice them asking the MCC to ask the the Ulyesses crowd to take
off their rockers.........

 

no you are right, i dont , so get out your conceited little soapbox.......

to me the benefits outweigh the negatives, dont like it , too bad , its
called an opinion......and not necessarily an unformed one either

 

oooh bullshit, theirs a fair bit of difference from your average 1%'er to
your alpine stars clas sport rider, to your
dainese latte sipping ducatisiti to condura clad beemer rider......that isnt
to hard to work out........and if a few 1% wannabees get kicked out.....no
losss...at times they are bigger pita than true 1%érs

you...as per usual are just raising hysteria ....

 

It seems to me, that this is not a case of some discrimination against
motorcyclists, or anything to do with motorcycles, so there's really
little need for the MCC to get involved or represent the issue on behalf
of the patch clubs in this case.

This is about where people can wear their club colours, and if I recall
correctly, the wearing of club colours is/was self-policed by the outlaw
motorcycle clubs (google for the threats/actions the Rebels MCC made
against Ulysses members at the Canberra AGM a few years ago regarding
the wearing of coloured patches and rockers), and not the MCC.

Sorry to disappoint Johno, but you're as wrong as G.W.F on this one. See
my post above.

 

How about you ditch your hopeless straw men, and stick to reality for
just two seconds? You've been given other examples from enough other
people to know how full of shit your examples are and how irrelevant
they are to the ACTUAL points being argued here.

You are too full of shit for words. Does it come with the uniform, or do
you provide that service for free?

 

On principle I have never agreed with the "convenient" dictum of the Ulysses
group to ban the wearing of colours because of threats from the patch
groups; introduced by a serving policeman too.
If clubs and or pubs are able by law to vet their cliental using a dress
code, then that is their business.
Don't see how the ban can be opposed if it is legally supported.
Regularly I hear of Ulyssians refused entry \service because they wear the
logo, so this is not a new issue.
It should be opposed if it is to be made law; other than that, it is best to
remain neutral as it is an issue only between the parties involved, for
reasons known to them.
