Johnstown, PA: Local and
state police scoured the hills outside rural Johnstown, Pennsylvania, after
reports of three animal rights activists going missing after attempting to
protest the wearing of leather at a large motorcycle gang rally this weekend.
Two others, previously reported missing, were discovered by fast food workers
"duct taped inside several fast food restaurant dumpsters," according to police
officials.
"Something just went wrong," said a still visibly shaken
organizer of the protest. "Something just went horribly, horribly, wrong."
The organizer said a group of concerned animal rights activist groups,
"growing tired of throwing fake blood and shouting profanities at older women
wearing leather or fur coats," decided to protest the annual motorcycle club
event "in a hope to show them our outrage at their wanton use of leather in
their clothing and motor bike seats." "In fact," said the organizer.
"Motorcycle gangs are one of the biggest abusers of wearing leather, and we
decided it was high time that we let them know that we disagree with them using
it... Ergo, they should stop."
According to witnesses, protesters
arrived at the event in a vintage 1960's era Volkswagen van and began to pelt
the gang members with balloons filled with red colored water, simulating blood,
and shouting "you're murderers" to passersby. This, evidently, is when the
brouhaha began.
"They peed on me!!!" charged one activist. "They
grabbed me, said I looked like I was French, started calling me 'La Trene', and
duct taped me to a tree so they could pee on me all day!"
"I... I was
trying to show my outrage at a man with a heavy leather jacket. And, he... he
didn't even care. I called him a murderer, and all he said was, 'You can't
prove that.' Next thing I know is he forced me to ride on the back of his
motorcycle all day, and not left me off, because his girl friend was out of
town and I was almost a woman."
Still others claimed they were forced
to eat hamburgers and hot dogs under duress. Those who resisted were allegedly
held down while several bikers "farted on their heads." Police officials
declined comments on any leads or arrests due to the ongoing nature of the
investigation, however, organizers for the motorcycle club rally expressed
"surprise" at the allegations.
"That's preposterous," said on high
ranking member of the biker organizing committee. "We were having a party, and
these people showed up and were very rude to us. They threw things at us,
called us names, and tried to ruin the entire event. So, what did we do? We
invited them to the party! What could be more friendly than that? You know,
just because we are all members of motorcycle clubs does not mean we do not
care about inclusiveness.
Personally, I think it shows a lack of
character for them to be saying such nasty things about us after we bent over
backwards to make them feel welcome."
When confronted with the
allegations of force feeding the activists meat, using them as ad hoc latrines,
leaving them incapacitated in fast food restaurant dumpsters, and 'farting on
their heads,' the organizer declined to comment in detail. "That's just our
secret handshake," assured the organizer.
