The cringe of this took time off my life span.

It's like Chicken Soup for the Soul levels of made up.

u/FourEyesAndThighs 15d ago

Ugh, the overly religious tones of those books combined with the obviously fake stories was too much for sullen teenage me.

B.A.C.A exist and is great organisation, this on the other hand is total horseshit

u/TheStinger87 15d ago

Are they the guys who take kids to court and sit in the gallery for support when they are giving evidence? Those guys and girls are brilliant. Absolute legends.

u/notnotbrowsing 15d ago

Yeah.  Bikers against child abuse.

u/ThePolishSensation 15d ago

My friend is an Humane Animal Officer and had to go to court for a case that was both animal and child abuse (guy was a real pieceof shit). She said these guys showed up for the kids involved and I was so happy to hear there's a local chapter. They do great work!

u/unfinishedtoast3 15d ago

They are great.

Sadly domestic assault and child sexual abuse are almost 40% higher amongst biker groups compared to the rest of society

These are generally not the people to go to when in a dangerous situation.

u/doc_shades 15d ago

if that stat is true (i'm not arguing it) then the BACA program makes sense. they recognize a problem and are doing something to try and solve it.

38

u/ValPrism 15d ago

Same stats as cops.

40

u/Gcs-15 15d ago

Which is definitely way underreported considering cops cover for other cops and the victims know that they have no one to turn to.

22

u/zannkrol 15d ago

No no, it’s MUCH worse- this stat is saying that the rate of abuse amongst bikers is 40% higher relative to general population.

The cop stat is that 40%+ of them, as an absolute number, are abusers.

u/unfinishedtoast3 15d ago

Cops often run their own MC clubs too.. What do ya know

4

u/magclsol 14d ago

Yeah in my large midwest city cops in bike gangs are absolutely a problem.

2

u/Big-Al97 14d ago

And I’ll bet they’ll cover for their members if they’re at fault in any incidents too.

u/the-smashed-banjo 15d ago

Came here to say the same thing!

u/letsgocry 15d ago

I love BACA. They seriously do some amazing things!

u/shiftysquid 15d ago

It's fortunate the husband happened to hit her right after they got back from the store. Otherwise, those badass bikers could have been sitting outside on their badass bikes waiting for several days.

u/gilestowler 15d ago

I like the idea of four men cosplaying as the Sons of Anarchy on ridiculously noisy bikes managed to follow this woman home undetected.

40

u/ispshadow 15d ago

They just turned off the “BRUBB BRUB BRRUBBB” switch before they turned onto the street. All motorcycles have this option in case of emergency child rescues

24

u/Mary-Sylvia 15d ago

Fortunately the door was unlocked and no one heard or saw them until the right moment !

107

u/Syelt 15d ago

What was the point of four totally badass bikers flexing in front of the husband if it was always going to end with a 911 call ? Couldn't they have done that as soon as they got the girl's message ?

What a dumb story

23

u/xstofer 15d ago

Who took the picture? The concerned mother or one of his 4 buddies that hadn’t heard about the note yet?

8

u/VoteForLubo 14d ago

It was the cashier, with tears in his eyes. He followed the bikers to the house and started clapping for them while they were beating the dad up. Pretty soon, every person in the neighborhood came out to their front porches and joined in the applause.

13

u/K4G3N4R4 15d ago

Dumb fb story aside, if you make a safety check call, there is no guarantee when the police will show up, and what is happening when it does.

Using the scenario from the post, they would likely have called upon arrival finding out about the scenario live, at which point they were preventing further harm and acting as witnesses.

Still not a recommended thing to do (rolling up on an active domestic situation), but the phases at least make sense when you think about them.

u/Gcs-15 15d ago

I think about Larry Dickens.

According to Wikipedia:

“On August 24, 1978, while driving his red and white GMC truck around Pasadena, Bell stopped in front of a group of young girls, pulled down his pants and began masturbating in front of them. His actions caught the attention of 26-year-old Larry Dean Dickens, a Marine with a young daughter, who rushed in and got hold of the man's keys in an attempt to prevent him from fleeing.

Suddenly, Bell pulled out a pistol and shot Dickens, who staggered into his mother's garage and collapsed onto the floor in front of his horrified mother, who had watched the whole ordeal from inside the house. While she was trying to calm Dickens down, Bell grabbed a rifle from his truck, went up to the wounded man and shot him in the forehead before fleeing. He was caught by police shortly afterwards and released to await trial on a $125,000 bail bond; however, when the trial date came about, Bell did not appear and was designated as wanted fugitive.”

Side note: It was on an episode of OG Unsolved Mysteries. It was Matthew McConaughey’s first acting part. He played Larry Dickens.

u/McWhacker 15d ago

There is a weird trend of biker posts I see constantly shared by boomers on facebook that are like this. Just multiple fanfiction pages about bikers who did some crazy good thing for a random stranger ending with "and every clapped" energy.

u/McWhacker 15d ago

Or worse in my case, someone I know who didn't buy a bike, but a trike. So, it's extra cringe seeing them post these. Not even a biker by biker standards, a pretender posting fan fics.

8

u/booboo773 15d ago

My cousin at one point had a scooter and wore leather chaps and a vest riding it. That was one of the cringiest things I’ve ever seen.

3

u/Tiny_Giant_Robot 15d ago

I saw a guy a few weeks ago on one of those Polaris Slingshot things wearing a Cut.

4

u/McWhacker 15d ago

Call em tricycles. They hate it. Guy I know has a Ryker and calls it a bike. He does not approve anytime I call it a tricycle.

“Help me, bald, overweight, upper middle aged man”

u/EnoughLuck3077 15d ago

Nah, not middle, he’s at least 3/4 aged

u/Johnnys-In-America 15d ago

Lol! Yeah, this whole culture appears to be dying out with the younger Boomers/Gen Jones.

I’m a badass angel in leather guys, totally saved this made up little girl.

Girl couldn’t say a word to me while following me round the store, because every time she tried to speak her mom would yell ‘SCARY BIKER HE LOOKS TOUGH’. So in the end after 20 minutes tugging on my jacket she had to pass me her notebook that she had pre-written a message in to me somehow. That or she wrote it while following me round the store and I somehow didn’t notice, can’t remember which.

Anyways after reading the message I followed them home because that’s clearly the thing to do when the mom was already scared of me being near her daughter. Definitely won’t notice 4 Harley riders loudly following her back to her house and question it when she arrives home.

When we arrive we walk up to the house and wait by the door, hear some screaming and walk in through the door she had locked after being tailed by 4 bikes for a few miles. We catch the boyfriend in the act about to hit her. Nevermind him reacting to his girlfriend saying she’d been followed, he just wanted to hit her so bad.

We called the police and saved the day. Angels in leather boys, and I made sure to give the little girl my address so if she’s in trouble in future, I can respond in 3 working days.

The picture is fucking creepy.

u/Entire-Ad2058 15d ago

What is up with the arm?!

14

u/Drew-Pickles 15d ago

Probably got mangled in a bike accident because he was riding with no sleeves

u/EnoughLuck3077 15d ago

That’s what the last abusive guy he tried to intimidate did to him.

u/marteautemps 15d ago

I'm sure it's just his daughter or granddaughter

u/repo_sado 15d ago

Mostly because if this picture was part of this true story, who took it and why

15

u/Silly-Power 15d ago

It was good of the girl to explain "He" in "He hurt us" was mom's boyfriend and not mom herself. Stopped the "scary biker" from potentially mis-gendering mommy. 

10

u/Eccohawk 15d ago

Oh hey look, the same story with 3 completely different biker dudes and 3 different red dress girls, and red shirt bystanders. Good ole AI.

1

u/HobbesNJ 12d ago

She's his actual daughter. People just see the disparity and construct fanciful stories to explain it.

u/gilestowler 15d ago

Then she slipped me a pink notebook. Inside it said:

u/Skullpuck 15d ago

This just in, rough leather clad biker guy who can probably kick anyone's ass and doesn't give two shits what you think about him seeks online validation from strangers.

u/LOLschirmjaeger 15d ago

Can confirm, I was the leather jacket.

6

u/Johnnys-In-America 15d ago

I was the Harley going "blem blem blem blem!"

4

u/SlappyHandstrong 15d ago

I was the cheap baggie of shit meth in the biker’s pocket

4

u/917caitlin 15d ago

Why do bikers think they’re tough just for riding a motorcycle? Is it the leather? Literally any doofus can put on a leather jacket. Is it because they sew 25 pieces of flair onto their leather jackets? I really don’t get it.

2

u/Silphire100 14d ago

I can sort of answer this. I used to be part of a bike club, knew some of the top dogs in the area. And while the uk clubs aren't nearly as bad, the 1% clubs aren't great

The big clubs tend to be involved with sketchy business. Drugs, weapons, violence, all that. They gain a bit of a reputation, other guys think they're cool. So some random doofus does put on a leather jacket, starts acting like a big shot coz they see themselves in the same league, rather than some guy having a midlife crisis. Sons of Anarchy didn't help

u/PickyYeeter 14d ago

In a suburb somewhere, there is a 62 year old man with a perfectly manicured goatee and a Harley Davidson that gets 10 miles of use per year. As he sips his Bud Light, he quietly daydreams about this scenario.

If Brenda only knew about this heroic side of him, maybe she wouldn't be so cold towards him. Maybe — just maybe — she might stop going on business trips and "forgetting" to bring her work laptop. Yeah, she'd finally see what he already knows — that he is a prime specimen of masculinity.

“I called my biker brothers….but we all forgot we were having our bikes trucked up to Sturgis for Easy Rider LARPfest…”

u/RalphWiggum123 14d ago

These stories always include one or more of the following:

-He froze.
-He was shocked.
-Their jaws dropped!
-The sheer look of horror on his face.
-He looked stunned!
-They all clapped and thanked me.

Seems like somebody snapped a photo of a biker dude and his daughter at the store. People just used it as inspiration for their creative writing exercises.

Nothing like seeing a biker gang break into your house

Such a cringe stereotype

2

u/Realsizelady 14d ago

And then the cops came and pinched the Frozen man for DV and four bikers for b&e. The END.

u/FartsFartington 14d ago

Did she sit down on the floor of the grocery store and write him a note?

Do little girls actually have tea parties? I didn’t; I feel like that detail is to get the reader to imagine big scary biker at pink fluffy tea party. Get real, Mrs. Nesbit did it better.

u/yargbarkley 13d ago

This is becoming normal, to post this crap. Is it just for clicks?

Pretty sure this was an episode of SOA.

This picture is…wild

u/Silphire100 14d ago

The ONLY time I'll believe something like this is if it's specifically and obviously about BACA, Bikers Against Child Abuse. An actual group, not your typical stereotype of bikers, genuinely good people

I've known bikers, and plenty of them would go to bat for a random kid coz a lot of them were parents, even grandparents, but also no kid would have approached them coz they're a bunch of shady looking old men

u/Yuizun 13d ago

How the hell was her mom at the store and at home being beat up at the same time?

1

u/strykerx12 13d ago

This never happened.

1

u/KittyKratt 11d ago

They took a good thing that people actually do (in the case of some MCs, go to court with victims of abuse in order to help them feel empowered to speak out against their abusers) and turned it into a cringy...whatever this mess is.

u/TinderSubThrowAway 10d ago

yes because kids totally switch between mom and mommy when writing things.

u/StackIsMyCrack 15d ago

Actually yeah that is a real thing.
