Fat Jack,
Some of your post makes good sense. It is pretty reprehensible for a Jack Daniels tent to be pouring shots of whiskey for these riders before they get on their bikes. Do you know do they have like a 2 drink limit or some restriction. I would certainly hope so. It is your second part of the post that makes very little sense. To assume that it is more likely that your daughter would be raped by a biker than someone who has spent their entire life in Laconia is rediculous. 99.9% of the visitors to Laconia would never so much as think about raping somebody. While quite a few have made the mistake of mixing booze with bikes, this doesn't automatically make them a harderned felon. And wouldn't it be easier to actually make the case against the town if it was someone FROM town. (i.e- there is so little to do in this town the man was forced to occupy himself with violence against others) I would guess that you see a huge increase in police presence and different crowd controls during the week. This is the towns attempt to control crime and violence. I believe it would be very difficult to claim neglect against a town were something awful to happen. I point this out because we should all be cautious of assuming that someone is dangerous because they don't look like us, or dress like us, or even act like us. You have people coming from across the country, you must expect some variety.

I was by the Jack Daniels tent at Funspot last night and was amazed to see how they pump drinks into these guys knowing that they are either going right out to get on a motorcycle without a helmet, or going out to stagger around the streets amongst the bikes. Then, sure enough, a biker ran into a pedestrian right outside the place, killing his passenger. Laconia should be ashamed of themselves and should be held accountable for all of this. If I ever get hit by a biker or my daughter gets raped by one during bike week, Laconia will be the entity that I sue. They make a lot of victims by hosting and promoting this event, and should be responsible for the adverse effects it brings to those of use who do not partake, to the same extent that they take benefit from the advantages.
