It's infuriating that good people, just minding their own business, and trying to enjoy their life a little, are sitting ducks for the scum of society. Who never contribute anything but take, take, take. Legally, and illegally.
I think we should have a Million Biker Larry Weaver Memorial Ride in Sikestown. I don't usually do group rides, but I would do that one.
let em take your sutff"And yeah I am down to do something so Larry gets remembered and these fools get the chair. T-shirts or??? #BikerLivesMatter #JusticeForLarry

Larry was attacked and killed. This wasn't your run of the mill thieves who normally scurry off when spotted.
There is a difference between coming out guns blazing and coming across your bike getting stolen and having the thieves attack you. You can't use your firearm to defend property in most states but you can use it to defend your life.

Unless you have video or evidence to show Larry standing by innocently as he watch his beloved Harley getting ripped off, then was attacked and killed, that don't fly. Bullshit-
The thieves were in the middle of a bike theft. Period. That's what bike thieves do, steal bikes for easy cash. Not intentionally murder random people for nothing.
Larry instigated and escalated the altercation coming down running toward the thieves trying to stop them from stealing his beloved Harley (totally understandable and the laws SUCK!)-he was overcome and taken out and it makes me sick to think about it.
If he had a firearm, and initiated this confrontation, trying to stop them from stealing his bike, he is now the initiator of this conflict-not the scumbags...
During a scuffle, he is liable bring a FIREARM to this confrontation in a public area without probable cause (no one was coming into his home to harm him or his family and teing to protect them). Period, and he would be incarcerated and most likely sued for firing at the low lifes ripping off his INSURED piece or property.
Sucks, but that is how the law is written...

I carry to protect my life NOT my bike!. The bike can be replaced. Of course I just might have emptied the clip in the vehicles tires just for fun!

I'm with twisted on this. I think we all knew in our hearts this was ending badly. It sucks. But for an older man to go out like that without much or any training, or skills, just turns a robbery into a murder. Assessing the situation is the best thing you can do. Even as we get older, we forget that we most likely aren't as dangerous as we used to be. I'm not saying go down without a fight, just pick the hill that is worth dying on. In the end, the bike wasn't worth it. May this family come to some peace over this. I have prayed all week, since reading it.

But material ****? Man, it ain't worth it. I have a good job and good life and yeah, I pay good money for my stuff. But there's not one thing I can think of I own that's worth getting killed or killing someone over and spending time in the court or jail asserting my innocence. I value my freedom and my life way more than a bike that I can just go replace with numerous identical copies of. I guess if that makes me a sheep, so be it, but I don't think it does.
I just hope for Larry's sake that they finished the job before they dumped him at least.
