I guess this doesn't surprise me much. The average non-riding Joe Blow has seen the way bikers are portrayed on TV for years and fear of what he doesn't understand gets the best of him. Sure there is always a chance of something happening at all large events whether it be a football game or Mardi-grais. But the majority of people who go to these events are there to enjoy it and stay out of trouble. It is always a few that ruin it for the rest of us along with the bad publicity that the media loves to slam down viewers' throats to bestow fear in the minds of the gullible. What happened at Laughlin is tragic but it just as soon could have happened in one's own home town supermarket.
