the arrest was improper. Stubbs told the Associated Press
(AP) that he was prevented from representing a member
of the Bikers for Christ motorcycle ministry who was being
questioned by police, and who is a plaintiff in a recent lawsuit
seeking at least $75,000 in damages from the department.
Stubbs is representing members of biker groups, including the
Mongols, Vagos, Stray Cats and Bandidos in a federal civil rights
complaint filed in June 2012 alleging harassment by Las Vegas
and other area police. The lawsuit is pending in U.S. District
Court in Las Vegas. It was filed a day after a meeting of Mongols
national leaders in Boulder City was monitored by hundreds of
local and state police and federal agents.
72 TYPES OF AMERICANS CONSIDERED
“POTENTIAL TERRORISTS”
Are you a conservative, a libertarian, a Christian or a gun
owner? Support states’ rights? Belong to “The Patriot
Movement”, or display a “Don’t Tread on Me” flag? Are
you opposed to abortion, globalism, Communism, illegal
immigration, the United Nations or the New World Order?
Anti-establishment? Do you believe in conspiracy theories,
or ever visit “extremist” websites? Are you a veteran? If you
answered yes to any of those questions, or a vast array of
others, you may be an “extremist” or a “potential terrorist”
according to official U.S. government documents.
At one time, the term “terrorist” was used very narrowly, explains
the alternative website www.activistpost.com, but says now
the Obama administration is removing all references to Islam
from terror training materials, and instead the term “terrorist”
is being applied to large groups of American citizens, which it
delineates in an article on their website; “72 Types of Americans
That Are Considered ‘Potential Terrorists’ In Official Government
Documents,” by D.C. attorney Michael Snyder.
The “list” covers much of our country’s demographics and most
of its citizenry, but if you belong to a group of people that is now
being considered as “potential terrorists” by the government,

MOTORCYCLE SAFETY FUND PROVIDES
SIGN-LANGUAGE FOR DEAF RIDERS
The National Motorcycle Safety Fund (NMSF), a 501(c)(3) charitable
community organization created in 1980 to augment the work of
the Motorcycle Safety Foundation, has created a new grant program
to help rider training sites cover the costs of hiring sign-language
interpreters for deaf and hard of hearing students.
MSF-recognized Rider Training Sites regularly receive requests
to accommodate students with physical disabilities, so in
compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
and state laws, the NMSF grants will help defray the cost of
sign-language interpreters.
There are many deaf and hard of hearing car drivers and
motorcyclists on the road today. To compensate, drivers and
motorcyclists typically employ risk-reduction strategies such
as Search/Evaluate/Execute (SEE), maintain longer following
distances, make better use of peripheral vision, and check
their mirrors more frequently.
