September 1, 2013- Opinion By Steven E. Greer
There are so many parades, motorcades, and ceremonies on September 11th each year, and weeks afterward, that people did not notice last year when a very disturbing new development took root. Dozens and dozens of old white dudes, looking for an excuse to ride their Harley Davidsons and feel macho, disgraced the 9/11 Memorial and memory of the tragic events that day on September 11th with a ten-minute-long loud caravan down the West Side Highway.
Previously, motorcycle caravans took place on days other than actual September 11th. With the ten-year anniversary being out of the way, and less attention to the 2012 events, these motorcyclists slipped into the actual 9/11 ceremonies.
If you agree that this loud obscenity defiles the 9/11 Ground Zero haloed grounds, please contact the Mayor’s and Senator Schumer’s offices. Post comments to this story as well.

Referring to people as ‘old white dudes’ is racist and ageist. Referring to hem in the context of trying to curtail their freedom is particularly problematic.
