54 percent of Canadians want bikers in biker gangs prosecuted even if they do not commit a crime

Well I would say that Canadians are not as friendly as we thought they were after finding that 54% of those polled believed that any biker in a biker gang should be arrested for doing illegal things. Even if the member does not do the crime they should do the time said the 54%.

While everyone agrees that some motorcycle gangs do bad things, I cannot agree that all the members that are a part of it. But in Canada it seems that the public really wants a crackdown on organized crime and they believe that biker gangs are the culprits.

The national survey, conducted for the Department of Public Safety, also reveals that seven out of 10 Canadians want improvements in the federal government’s current level of effort to combat ‘organized crime.’

48 per cent of Canadians responded that organized crime had an impact on them personally and identified drug trafficking as the crime with the highest level of correlation to the criminal activity. More than half (54 per cent) say that members of motorcycle gangs should be prosecuted based on participation, regardless of whether they have committed a crime.

I wonder if Canada will be soon having lynching groups looking for people on motorcycles? Maybe we need to prosecute everyone in any group when someone in their group does something illegal. Maybe when a Boy Scout leader or a priest abuse someone, we should arrest every adult that is a member of that group?

Maybe just having this sentiment will reduce the number of motorcycle gangs in Canada and of course undermine all the good things that bikers do for the public…
