Netherlands: Motorcycle Club Jackets Banned in Tilburg

In the municipality of Tilburg, motorcycle clubs are no longer allowed to wear their colors. The leather jackets with the club logo or insignia on the back are banned from the 1st of May.



A gathering ban will also be enforced for motorcycle clubs. The locally resolution will be amended especially for this, according to mayor Peter Noordanus of Tilburg, who announced this on Friday.

Restaurant and hotel entrepreneurs in the city center will be asked to keep an eye on motor club members who flout the new rules.

Innkeepers who cooperate with the municipality are promised extra protection, whereas those who are not willing to comply will have to deal with "extra controls" from the municipality and the police, Noordanus tells the NRC.

Motorcycle club Satudarah has been present in Tilburg for 18 months already, and have almost 100 members. Noordanus claims that their presence sometimes causes intimidating situations.

"There is suspicion of intimidation and extortion, that is difficult to prove. Victims are often scared to report incidents. But think about a queue waiting for a club and a motorclub that pushes the queue aside and says 'and now it's our turn' and also displays intimidating behavior in the business."

It is my opinion that the EU is in the process of banning motorcycles.

Instead of focusing on individual perpetrators, they are using "Gestapo like" tactics to ultimately control the public. Thus forcing a non-individualistic society.

We were warned of this at the "Meeting of the Minds" at several different years by our European brothers.

JMHO

But if we are American citizens, then we have the "freedom of speech".
If you are not a citizen,.....keep your views to yourself!
Does the same philosophy apply to an American commenting on events in countries in which he doesn't hold citizenship?

With Global Harmonization in our impending future, we Americans need to use our "freedom of speech" to help resist these governmental intimidation.

I realize that there are "fine Americans" that will just stand by and let things happen. But as an American I will always use my right to "freedom of speech", when and as long I can.
