Advantage: Motorcycles are a good way for the poor to combat high gas prices.
Disadvantage: Some motorcycle RIDERS go too fast and crash.
Advantage: Motorcycles are a good way to get past bad traffic in New York.
Disadvantage: Motorcycles can be used by criminals to escape the police.

Now the gun haters in New York also hate motorcycles. Now they are destroying motorcycles. Instead of stopping the human criminals, they are focusing on the objects the criminals use.

The police seem proud of how many motorcycles they are destroying, instead of reselling them for a profit.

The reporters did a bad job here. They should give a more balanced report and talk about how useful motorcycles are. They should mention how motorcycles can be used by the poor to beat high gas prices.
