  It's funny to watch Bobby Slaughter on the show. I have no idea who he is, but from the second they showed him you could tell he was not some random prospect and that he was provided by the show - he has that nervous smile you get when you are being filmed and aren't comfortable with the camera. Watch him, every time the camera locks on him and he has to say his lines he smirks and can't help the face he makes.
  
  I will play devil's advocate on one part though in regards to the "crimes" they commit. We all know it's staged and fake, but they expect us to believe they are actually doing it all for real. They can cover themselves with a small disclaimer - "some parts are re-inacted to protect the innocent" type deal.
  
  This season they stepped it up a little, actually had a few legit punches and some guys are now pulling handguns. Last episode they literally beat each other up with bats. If this was truely a real time documentary type show they would all be in line for serious legal troubles, and the network wouldn't be allowed to show it. The camera men would be obligated to contact the police, especially when it's not club on club violence, like when they beat down the guy they take the car from lol.
  
  Taking something by force is robbery no matter how you cut it, so when even when they beat down the member and take his cut they are committing a 2nd degree crimes. And using a handgun can raise it to a 1st degree crime and also adds on all sorts of other related charges.
  
  For those of you that watch Amish Mafia, at the beginning they actually flash that on the screen, saying that things are re-inacted. This way they can claim they actually did it for the purpose of the show, but also deny it actually happened since it was re-inacted. Amish Mafia can get away with that because they can say and do whatever they want for the show - the real Amish people won't see it because they don't watch TV!!
  
  Not sure if Devil's Ride claims the same thing though but I imagine they do, I'll have to look for it in the credits next episode. My wife and I love to watch it because it's almost like comparing Reno 911 to an episode of Cops lmfao!!

  What up! Checking in from Central New Jersey, right on the shore. I've been going stir crazy because of all the snow this month, but we finally had a day of sun which dried the roads enough for me to get out.

  I'm on the Jersey Shore (the actual shore not the stupid show although they did film in a town about 20 minutes south of me) and it has been snowing all month. I was riding everyday to work through Christmas, even when temps droped to the teens, but today was the first time in about six weeks I could get out due to road conditions.
  
  Even on days it wasn't snowing it was still in the 20's and 30's and the ground was so wet and icy I couldn't go out. We finally hit some sun and it was in the '50s today so stuff finally dried up and melted. I'm on midnight shift this month but it's clear and finally dry so I rode the bike to work. Little chilly at 37 but happy to be riding!

  Man, I tell you I signed up here just because I found this topic so fun to read! I'm pretty sure we all know it's scripted at this point, even if the LD were technically a real club at one time, but at least it's enjoyable to talk about.
  
  I did like everyone else probably did at some point - you know it's fake but can't help the urge to prove it to yourself by googling if it is or not, and getting directed here. I can't wait to see what shenanigans they get into tomorrow lmfao...
