‘Wild West’ lawlessness encouraged bikers to come

Allowing the Atlantic Beach Memorial Day Bikefest is a moot point.

The bikers are coming!

They are coming because of the “Wild West” lawlessness that has been tolerated in the past. That is what needs to change.

There are laws for sobriety checkpoints, decency laws, speed limits, crowd control and nuisances such as jaywalking and excessive noise. If the existing laws are enforced, the bikers will be welcome.
