Hell's Angels are an ongoing criminal enterprise engaged in dealing narcotics, protection rackets, prostitution and extortion.
You're being silly.
Make more sense now? Nothing said about the NY rice rocket clowns stunting or whatever they were doing>
That is what I found hilarious: the idea of what Harley riders (especially chomper riders) ride as being "fast bikes" when they are barely faster than mopeds and scooters.
well..it was just a few
all those guys are old as Methuselah now or dead already
one percenter bikers are like the Mafia to me
cute and life imitating movies and all till you have a conflict with them
then not so funny
I have gotten on well with them but I know my space
I have a one percenter in my employ actually
From what we read, they do not care whether they are on foot or in their car, you are now a free fire zone. And they always get away with it.
This guy that decided to mow down a few asswipes with his SUV just because he could was committing assault with a deadly weapon. All these cheerleaders on this thread seem to blow this off.............
oh please...they were way outta line at Altamont
I mean really
These folks are being silly is true....it’s the way folks look at the James Gang or Billy the Kid or John Gotti
romanticizing bad people
Angels were good at Altamont?
not from the dozen times I’ve seen Gimme Shelter
or watched or read interviews with The Stones or The Dead or Ken Kesey...who were actually HA fans
or Paul Kantner of Jefferson Airplane or Marty Balin of the Jefferson Airplane who was beaten senseless when he tried to stop their rampage
The HA were drunk or on Meth and then Owsley Acid and then surrounded by hippies who they hated except for the free love girls
I can’t imagine any good coming outta that
man...freepers sometimes say the craziest shite...maybe it’s cause I’m old reading what kids read about it all versus living the era like I did?
we saw Altamont happen and kept up with it
Altamont and the Charlie Manson basically drove a stake in the bacchanalia
and I get on with outlaw bikers actually
but I sure wouldn’t hire then as ushers for the Swan ball were I hosting it and then ply them with all manner of intoxicant and expect them to do nice things...rotflmao
Drug addicts are also shunned. It is one thing to do crime, but another to carry a destructive addiction for the pack.
Yes. I have found through out my interactions with all sorts that society deems horrible that there is honor among thieves. Won’t go into details but my ex husband found that out when his actiions threatened my kids.
My 94 GMC 2500 weighs 5600lbs, no one ever challenges me when I am in my truck, but when I drive my 2800lb VW GTI, I get cut off all the time. GRRRRR.
It is all in the pack rush. You start knowing how they ride and what the decision will be ahead of time, to pass a car, burn a stop light through etc...
If you dont know you are a danger to yourself and the pack on the road. By and by a sort of cohesion happens and you are one with the pack. It goes bad when one is perceived to be hurt and a defense occurs. They are decisions. Depending on the leadership, some are good, others bad, but indeed, when it strikes, it is merciless.
I dont like sports bike gangs. They have a reputation for being junkies and unwise always with some narcissist chip on the shoulder trying to kill the next guy in a race.
He wasn't committing assault, they just happened to be in the way when he was making his escape. Which is also why the driver won't be charged.
HA or other one-percenter types don’t need “pack rush” or passionate heat-of-the-moment excuses.
They commit crimes because they’re criminals.
Hey Martin, one for the Hooligans?
You claim that they are the "Best people on the planet..."? Please try to explain that to the parents of Daniel Desrochers, the 11-year-old, fatally injured by shrapnel while playing near a jeep that was blown up during the Quebec Biker war. While it was the Bandidos who planted the bomb to kill a Hell's, there were 160 killed by both sides in the 'Biker war', including innocents like Daniel.
Let’s examine one of the "Best people on the planet...", Maurice 'Mom' Boucher, currently serving time at the SHU in Sainte-Anne-des-Plaines, Quebec. He was the president of the Hell's Angels Montreal chapter during the 'Biker war' and started the war by muscling in on the Rock Machine’s drug territories.
'Mom' Boucher committed armed robbery in 1975 at age 21, sexual assault of a nine year old girl in 1983 (he was 30), and attempted to have two corrections officers murdered in 1997. The murders were intended to disrupt the Quebec justice system and ensure that the Crown would not want, or be able to make deals to turn bikers into informants.
I have several questions for you. If Hell’s are some of the “best people on the planet…”, which planet are you talking about? Also, have you ever considered getting new friends, ones not involved in prostitution, drug dealing, loansharking and murder? Might be time for a change in your circle of friends!
There’s no video of the real assault and the rest of it. But I’m a bit disturbed by the fact that the cops seem so sympathetic to the bikers. I can understand that they want to avoid chases that will only result in the bikes heading for the sidewalks to get away, but it seems to be more than that.
The incident that I saw was solved by the police calmly driving by—in a paddy wagon. The bikers got the hint and evaporated. That was at least some action.
Anyone know more about this camaraderie, if that’s what it is?
Agreed, however this hiding behind the pack to commit crimes as some kind of groupie is not limited to bikers.
Feminists attack men and black nationalists attack whites, all hiding behind a gender or color of skin to commit crime in the name of the group.
Just the other day I asked him about their reputation and he said those were the old days. Today's club members are older and responsible adults that do a lot of charity events. Over the years they eventually drove out the druggies and gangsters that gave the club a bad reputation and cleaned up their act.
He went on to say that there are rogue chapters scattered around the country but they are pretty much ostracized by the entire organization......
The method of payment didn't help either - beer

marktwain replies:
It is much more than that. They were not just “in the way”. By being where they were, and doing what they were doing, they were part of a conspiracy to kidnap and assault. All of the hundreds of outlaw motorcycle riders in the video should be found and charged with conspiracy to attempt murder.
It was completely illegal to block the guy in and attempt to force entry to his vehicle. What people are calling a “brake check” is essentially the start of a kidnapping. At the minimum, given nothing else, it is obstruction of traffic.
I call it a kidnapping, because what else do you call it when people limit your movements to the point that you must either resist them with force, or submit to their will to stay where they want you to stay? That is kidnapping.
