ONONDAGA, N.Y. -- Police say a motorcyclist participating in a protest ride against helmet laws in upstate New York died after he flipped over the bike's handlebars and hit his head on the pavement.

The accident happened Saturday afternoon in the town of Onondaga, in central New York near Syracuse.

State troopers tell The Post-Standard of Syracuse that 55-year-old Philip A. Contos of Parish, N.Y., was driving a 1983 Harley Davidson with a group of bikers who were protesting helmet laws by not wearing helmets.

Troopers say Contos hit his brakes and the motorcycle fishtailed. The bike spun out of control, and Contos toppled over the handlebars. He was pronounced dead at a hospital.

Troopers say Contos would have likely survived if he had been wearing a helmet.

I saw that one on the news this morning. Talk about irony.

The woman in green is the mayor and the guy in plaid shirt is the sheriff... the mayor beat the hell out of the sheriff.

The mayor wanted two more hours before the demolition of the ghettos starts and when the mayor learned that the sheriff didn't wait for the two hours, she got pissed and beat the living hell out of the sheriff.

The punching begins at :40

That's why we have a court system. You have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt. If we lived in a world run by popular opinion, Earth would still be thought of as flat.
