#1 Lol. Barger nails it:
"Somebody in the state wants to say they threw us out of the clubhouse, even if they've got to buy it to prove it. Where do they get the money to do that?"

Indeed, whose money is Goddard using? Egotistical putz.

#2 Wilma Fenby, 74, who has lived across Ironwood Drive for the past 29 years, said the Hells Angels have been good neighbors. "The only time I go outside after dark is if they're over there," Fenby said. "I'm more scared of the dopers. Since the bikers moved here, they don't come around anymore."

That doesn't sound anything like the scary stories I heard when I was a mere slip of a girl about how the Hell's Angels were into sex'n'drugs'n'rock'n
roll, and any girl that partied with them would end up on the white slaverly circuit. Could those stories have been wrong?

#3 Andrea Esquer, a spokeswoman for Attorney General Terry Goddard, said state lawyers would not comment on why they are trying to acquire the house, where the purchase money would come from or what the plans are for the building.

Whoah. Aren't there sunshine laws and requirements for the open accounting of public funds?

#4 TW-
Even the baddest bikers I've run across still seem to have a certain respect for old ladies and children. The feeling seems to be that if they can defend themselves they're fair game - but if not, anybody stupid enough to mess with them deserves what they get.

#5 Funny thing is that if the state wins the house, by law they have to auction it off. Meaning the HA's will simply buy it again.

What an idiot this gradnstanding AG is - what concerns me is taxpayer money going for this.

My money is on the HA's. They're better organized and less corrupt than the government.

#6  "I'd like to get in an even nicer area with even more expensive homes," Eberhardt said.

Anyone else catch this neatly veiled threat? Those "more expensive homes" won't be for long once the motorcycles start roaring up each weekend.

Agreed that this is gummit grandstanding. But the Angels are no angels, as it were. Methamphetamine, the biker's drug of choice, is rapidly becoming a major scourge and general epidemic. Compared to other illegal drugs it is far more damaging, possibly second only to heroin.

#7 And the meth manufacturers are buying up the allergy medicines my family needs, darn it!
