One confirmed dead in Nugget shooting

And a Special Thanks to Sparks PD's Eric Thomas for all the great training of his officers they were such a helpful bunch! Pushing people around pointing their rifles and shootguns and folks who were not even involved in the Tragedy in the Casino. Alot of regular folks were talked down to disrespectfully bye the officers on the grounds, it really looked like a scene in a (NAZI Film Festival!) Good Job Mr. Eric Thomas (Sparks PR Mnger.)NOT!!

And special thanks to Ms.Donna Green (Operation Manager) of The Nuggett for All the Nothing she did for the folks caught in the cross fire of this tragic event! NO plan in place to help those who were not envoled and not allowed into there own rooms and were left stuck waiting outside on the curb for 3hours, 20 feet from Police pointing guns at people (colors and non-colors)GOOD JOB Ms. Donna Green (Operations Manager) NOT!!!!

to comment made by lorwockman read again buddy , I was there at the nugget just before the shooting and there for 5 days, what I saw was big groups of vagos and few hells angels , and the vagos took over the seating tables at trader dicks many people giving up tables because they took it over then one hells angel walk in gets punched in the nose and is down on the ground then shots fired. No vagos helped any people there, Nugget employees got people out some through kitchen area. A couple "older" vagos asked a couple people if they were ok. Lets no assume anything here no one knows who started what but from what I am hearing more vagos were arrested than hells angels theres a clue. Anyway it was a bad deal that went down and glad no other by standers died. Also from what I hear the hells angel guy that died was decent guy that lost his life and was a kind man and some didn't know he was in any club ,so what ever went down we will never really truely no what triggered him to fire the first shot, then die. Please don't put a label on all bikers and all the ignorant comments. Never the less we need to make sure that we don't ruin street vibrations or put innocent lives in danger ever. Like I said before any big events need more metal detection and security checks period like any big concert or such. All the comments saying we need to run all these people out and that they hate when bikers come to there area grow up, they pulled over more of your local people for D.U.I than anything and other felonies. That kills people to just like a gun. My point is things can happen anywhere you go period. The comments of running these people out of town and go home. Its us people that come to nevada and bring you revenue "idiots".

The man killed was a very kind & respectful man. Didnt know him well, only as a patron @ my work.. But friends/coworkers of mine knew him for yrs, & were very close w/ him & his. Its a very sad thing, what happened this weekend.. My heart goes out 2 his family & friends. :( (Btw, I had no idea, until 2day, that he was even involvd in a club, let alone chapter pres.. As he nevr wore colors, or spoke of things which would've indicate that he was, during all the times I encounterd him. My impression of him was of a cool, courteous, caring guy.. Who was obviously very luvd & respectd.) (W/o intent 2 diminish this tragedy, let me jst say..) What happend can be chalkd up 2 an unfortunate incident, & some sad senseless s#!t that went down. - The way s#!t does frm time 2 time. (ALL ovr the world, w/ ALL kinds of people, 4 ALL kinds of reasons, ovr ALL sorts of things.) No need 2 take advantage of these comment spots, which allow every1 (including myself) opportunity 2 air their '2 cents worth of unsolicited', by using them 2 fling nasty insulting remarks (& @ strangers no less!?!) I mean, why?! What does that achieve, othr than 2 offend or antagonize?? Doesnt improved the world or make it safer in any way. Doesnt help 2 increase undrstanding between folks. - Its jst mean. (There's already enough bs in the world, no need 2 add 2 it.) I may be wrong (apologies if so) but'd guess most folks who's negative comments Im reffering 2, haven't actually had interaction w/ MC's or that world 1st hand. If so, the slanderous statements made are generalizations based on ignorance.. The feelings expressed come frm judgements, not formed by experience, but from media, 'stories', & assumption. - Which is unjust. True, sum bikers are bad.. And occassionally bad s#!t goes down. But a few (rare) violent acts don't justify a big anti-MC debate. Cuz fact is, u will find bad apples (& acts) in EVRY bunch! My feelings re: all that - "the only folks Im prejudice against are assh*les".

I was in a club for a few years, and it is common that the clubs have tension between them, but that does not mean that all clubs have tension with other clubs, most get along just fine. It is those clubs that think they should control the biker world. I fought for freedom not control. So DeputyDawg, you are asking for trouble if you try and take away bikers freedoms, then you will start a war. And that is something you do not want on yourself. If you think that taking a club members colors or anything to take away a freedom. You might not have a badge very much longer. It is sad that some clubs cannot get along but that is their burden to deal with. I pray they see the light, so we can keep having fun riding because that is what a true biker loves. Not all these other politics or wars that are happening. We all hate to hear that a fellow biker went down or died for no good reason. Biker Brothers, those that ride together know the reasons why they ride, and what it means to each other that rides. Ride hard or stay home , Ride hard and Live Free.

It is interesting that it was the HA and the Vagos. I have had run in's with the vagos and they are not that friendly. I have seen them attack those that were not even in clubs. Or just hanging around. Street Vibrations was suppose to be a place where everyone could have fun, and not have to worry about club wars. But because of the desention between Outlaw clubs no place is safe now. I will say this, this attack / death of a Hells Angel by the hand of a Vago, or because of a fight by the Vagos, will surely cause a retaliation by the Angels. It is sad that it had to happen again, and in Reno of all places. After the deaths of our Service Men and Women. After a the death of so many at the Air Races. It happens in 3's and I hope it is the last. Pray for all that were injured and I pray for the family of the one that was taken from this world for no good reason.

I know, you walk down the dark streets in the ghetto...afraid you're going to be jumped by a biker, right? This is a statement to show the over-reaction to this because they're bikers.

Deputydawg your a fool. You have no idea of what you talk about. I have gone to street vibrations for many years, and for many years everyone got along. It's a shame what happened but what you realy need to ask your self is, why was there not a big security presance during this event. In a casino with so many cameras, and no security to be found, it makes me wonder if any of this would have happened if you had a dozend officers near bye making their presance known. The Vagos have been coming to the nugget for many years with no incident. I was there last night and seen nothing but respect from these men. I've never seen them look for trouble. But last night some Hells angels came in there and started trouble and started shooting. The Vagos were not the ones shooting. Read the news reports you fool. Have any of you ever thought that maybe the guy that died could have been hit by a bullet that was shoot form his friends gun? Read the eye witness reports. It states that the Vago members tried to help the civilians get to safety, and checked on them to make sure they were ok. So all I got to sayu to you DeputyDawg is shut the hell up, and dont comment on stuff you dont know anything about you idiot.

After reading all the statments, I believe that its sad that someone lost thier life that night. Everyone is aware what Street Vibrations brings to town, bikers. Not all of them have bad intentions. I think its a nice treat to see so many bikes of different kinds and different styles. Ecspecially if you dont ride bikes, like myself, its a nice treat! I was upset to hear what happend, but again, what do you expect if two known rival gangs meet up? I dont think that "Any biker wearing colors should be arrested". Thats discrimination in my opinion. Everyone has the right to waer what they want and be an whatever group or "club" they want. Just wish they had more respect for the innocent bystanders. What if the bullet missed and hit a child? (I KNOW it was in a casino, but alot of people come from out of town and have thier children out at all hours of the night)- Just sorry for the family who lost thier child. :(

Deputy dawg: your idiotic statements prove that you have no idea what you are talking about. You come after my colors and what's next? Boy scouts, brownies, Shriners? If a cop kills someone do you demand all police badges. Stop believing sons of anarchy and gangland. Meet me or any of the millions of law abiding club members and then make an informed decision.
