Yes, a friend of mine met with and chatted with some of the bikers in that group that "encouraged them" to protest elsewhere.
I'm of two minds about it. I GET the desire to intimidate and make them move their protest, but feel that stifling ANYONE's right to speak, even if its crazy and I don't agree, is something worse than the worst hate speech. I prefer the COUNTER demonstrations myself.
