KEEP NEVADA’S HELMET-BONDAGE LAW

Dear Senator Manendo,
 

The 2011 helmet-choice Bill for Nevada motorcyclists (SB177) was killed by Senator Horsford when he sent it to the finance committee to die.  This year, I urge you to follow in his heroic footsteps to do the same.  Here are the top ten reasons to kill Nevada’s current helmet-choice bill, SB150:

10.  Because now that Senator Schneider has been termed out, he left behind a void of BIKER BIGOTRY that you can easily fill.

9.  To remind riders in the 2/3rds of States with helmet choice that they should cherish that speck of liberty that never should have been stolen from riders in any state belonging to the U.S.

8.  To motivate me to investigate and expose allegations of on-the-job sexual misconduct by Ken Kiphart, while he served as Administrator for the Nevada Rider Program.

7.  To motivate me to identify the misconduct/corruption of:

Alison Copening, former State rep.  Her blatant hatred towards the biker community caused her a severe lapse of judgment – one so grave that it likely caused her to not run again – in shame.

Shirley Breeden, former Senate Transportation Committee chair who backstabbed the biker community that helped get her elected.

A number of bureaucrats within the Nevada Rider Program, DPS, OTS, NHP, and others that have either resigned, changed duties, or were busted by rights activists for corruption.

6.  To coddle the police union lobby that do your dirty work for you by enforcing the laws you support that criminalize honest citizens.  Did LVMPD also fund your campaign?  Each year LVMPD lobbyists PAID BY OUR TAX DOLLARS take a 580 mile 4-month vacation north to Carson City to lobby on TAX DIME!  They argue against bills that they fear will chip away at their power.  Let’s face it, helmet laws are NOT about saving lives and those cops know it!  THEY ARE ALL ABOUT GIVING COPS PROBABLE CAUSE TO VIOLATE BIKERS.  LVMPD – alone – is responsible for the COLD-BLOODED MURDER of 12 innocent victims in 2011, half the number of motorcycle fatalities that same year.  Perhaps a better solution to avoid fatalities is to get rid of this cartel of gangbangers with badges that get paid time off each time they kill an innocent victim.  http://www.lvrj.com/news/deadly-force.

5.  To motivate me to expose the tyranny at the hands of sociopathic police officers, prosecutors, and judges who use helmets as an excuse to victimize motorcyclists.

4.  TO KILL MORE RIDERS.  In 2011, 41 motorcyclists were killed in Nevada – ALL WEARING HELMETS!  How many of those 41 deaths could have been avoided if only they were NOT wearing a helmet?  THEY ARE DEAD AND THEIR VOICE WILL NEVER BE HEARD!  Did their helmet inhibit vision, hearing, or senses to cause or contribute to their fatal accident?  Yes, keep Nevada’s helmet bondage law intact to kill more riders.

3.  To remind all who ride on Nevada roads that YOU, Mr. Manendo, and your like-minded, pro-law, anti-liberty colleagues are our rulers – and your mindless drones (law enforcement) will unleash its rogue violence against anyone that dares to challenge unconditional obedience to YOU.

2.  To motivate me to expose EXACTLY how it was that YOU, Senator Manendo, double-crossed the biker community when you voted NO to last session’s SB177 – a bill you had CO-SPONSORED.  Your lame excuse was that you didn’t think 21 was an appropriate age to be a responsible helmet user.  Yet 18 years old is old enough to be killed at war.

1.  And finally, the top-most reason to kill SB150 is to send a strong message to the average baby-boomer motorcyclist – many of whom are Vietnam Vets - that THEY ARE TOO STUPID, INSANE, AND IRRESPONSIBLE  to know when and if to wear a helmet while riding on a Nevada road.

Nothing short of a COMPLETE REPEAL of Nevada’s helmet law will demotivate me from disinfecting with sunshine-like TRUTH, the stench of evil over various executive, judicial, and legislative branches of Nevada’s “democratic” system at state and local levels.  In the last two years, I have – to my great dismay – discovered that what we have in Nevada that we call “democracy,” is really, MOB RULE!   Could so many anti-liberty laws be contributing to Nevada’s tragic economy?

While SB150 is a step in the right direction towards promoting liberty and thus stimulating Nevada’s economy, this bill contains in it CONDITIONAL liberty.  Be honest and admit that those “conditions” are mandates to increase profits to entities such as training facilities, insurance companies, or others who have the funds to lobby to force We the People to use their products or services.  I do not condemn training – I condemn the gun that would be pointed at the head of my fellow Nevada rider for not submitting to any of your so-called “safety” training.

I will always be your obedient servant .  A servant fluent in Spanish to ensure that the people of our ethnicity know exactly how it is that you are creating laws to force us all to bow down to your weapons!

    Lily,
    You are right "THEY ARE DEAD AND THEIR VOICE WILL NEVER BE HEARD!". Another good question is 'How many riders have had accidents in which their heads hit the ground or something solid like a curb, cage bumper, etc. and were able to get up and ride away because the helmet prevented an injury?

  2. Which is why the VOLUNTARY use of helmets is the only moral option. Criminalizing the use or non use of helmets immoral. It's the pointing of a gun at a person for making a choice that may or MAY NOT help or hurt.

  3. We have had 6 motorcycle accidents in Vegas the last few weeks. And those are only the ones that made the news. The immoral thing would be to allow new riders, some of who don't know how to ride safely and they don't realize it, to ride without a helmet.

    Sort of like letting children play cops and robbers with real guns.

    1. Six motorcycle accidents in Nevada? Well since Nevada has a helmet-bondage law, my guess is that ALL SIX WERE WEARING HELMETS. So maybe the helmet contributed to the accident. Did the helmet hinder vision, hearing, or did it act as a parachute in the wind to destabilize the rider? This idea that helmets save lives is asinine! Nothing saves lives - life is temporary - live it like you want and keep the doddamned guns out of my face - cause that's what laws are - ruler's opinions with a gun to make us obey. FUCK THAT!

    2. As you say Nevada has a helmet-bondage law, so it seems like there would be MANY more then only 6 accidents in the above time period. At least if the helmets were as much a cause of accidents as you believe, don't ya think?

      It would be interesting to know how many accidents occur, after which a rider is able to get up and ride, or walk, away because a helmet prevented a head injury. But that is a figure, unlike the number of riders that are unable to ride, or walk, away, that is never known.

      And Lily trust me, saving lives is not important. Once a person is dead, they won't care or know about the accident. It is the people, and their caregivers, that suffer a head injury after what otherwise would be a minor incident that pay the real price.
