A motorcycle rally prompted by a Muslim group’s plan to march on the
Mall will go forward on the day the D.C. area and the nation mark 12
years since the Sept. 11 terrorism attacks.
Officials with 2 Million Bikers to DC said that despite failing to secure a permit from the National Park Service, the ride through the D.C. area will happen — even if it takes all day.
“We apologize to D.C. residents, but they had plenty of time to help us with this rally,” said Belinda Bee, national coordinator for the 2 Million Bikers
to DC rally, referring to federal and local authorities. “We realized
there was going to be a lot of traffic. We would have gotten through
town in two hours. For some reason the powers that be in D.C. no longer
feel Americans have the right to voice an opinion.”
The motorcycle rally’s Facebook
page bills the event as a way to “remember those who were killed on 911
and honor our armed forces who fought those who precipitated this
attack.”
