I've just been around the fringes of this, been around rebels and "outlaw" men all my life. Right off the top of my head I can think of THREE felons who are absolutely hands-down among THE most righteous stand-up guys of my personal and long acquaintance, the kinds of guys who may live and look a little or a lot shady, depending, but who know how to fight well and smart and on the RIGHT side. The kinds of guys who would swiftly and discreetly dispense with heavy bad-ass elements that tried to screw with them or anyone they cared about.
So no, I wasn't being sarcastic. I think the criminal propensities of the Bandidos, while there in a percentage of clubs and membership, have been vastly exaggerated by LEO to the public at large, and I bought that exaggeration hook, line, and sinker until I started paying more attention.
Happy Independence Day.
