I don't like Critical Mass.

Negative comment me I don't give a ****!

[rac23athilo]

Oh no the police have finally started to crack down on my illegal activity! Its the end of the world and everyone but me is to blame!

Seriously why is it that difficult to apply for a permit and a police escort on your events? If they wont give that to you then sue them for it. Why do you seem to find it necessary to provoke everyone into a confrontation by blocking the road for well over 30min or more without warning.

Where's an ED-209 when you need one?

Just give me a baseball bat and I'll make quick work of these motherfuckers.

the critical mass exists for one reason only.....to get together and break the law and then make a video claiming police brutality when the cops enforce the law.

@maryoassyrian2007 Your right, F**K Critical Mass. This has got to be the stupidest organization known to man. They all a bunch of trouble makers if you ask me.

@sidszyd civil right activists had a good reason the people in the video didnt

[devineace1]

these cyclists are just thugs who are disrupting peace and delaying a tired man or women after work who just want to get to their home or spend some quality time with their kids...

these cyclists are so self centered about their own rights according to their constitution but have little or no regard of others who too share the same rights...

@Brad2325 The sit ins during the civil rights movement pissed a lot of people off as well, not to mention blocked streets and buildings for hours.

However, Im sure there are plenty of douchebags in the CMass in your city, but think about how many more assholes there are that drive.

This post is indicative of the maturity level of a typical CM biker - "look at me, pay attention to me, my parents didn't when I was growing up and now I'm pissed at the world and I'm going to lash out in the most immature way possible". All attention is not good attention. My six year old cousin has more emotional and mental maturity than anyone who nicknames himself "pacmansex". Btw, thanks for letting me know what day of the month to drive around with a squirt gun filled with bleach, genius.
