I'm sorry, my knowledge of past Hell's Angels operations is pretty much limited to that concert. (Altmont?) What's the deal?

Back around 1965 when the Angels and hippies shared the San Francisco scene, they got *invited* to one of the first SF area antiwar demonstrations, at SF State, I think, maybe the Presidio, still very much in business then.

Most of the Angels had been in the military at one time or another, some in Korea, a couple of the ols far...fellas [and Boozefighters] in WWII. And they weren't having any of it; they went in and broke heads. A couple got arrested by SF cops, some of whom for the first time were shaking hands with Angels before arresting them, and a couple of whom the cops *forgot* to handcuff. One of the more memorable photos from the ball was one of Tiny, who very much was NOT, being led away grinning by two cops both of whom were a full head shorter than he was.

The hippie/university lefty/druggy crowd decried the loss of one subculture of their allies, to which the Angels had two words to say about that, one beginning with the letter *F* and the other with a *Y*. I doubt you need to buy any vowels.

Both Ken Kesey's book on the hippie days/LSD bus saga of those times and Hunter Thompson's book on the Angels from a couple of years later have at least partial accounts of the affair, which gave the bikers a good deal of support from veterans groups not just in California but all over the country. At least one major veterans organization had a senior member climb on his own motorcycle, ride it across the country to Oakland, and drop a thousand dollar bill, still around inthose days, on the Angels as a gesture of thanks to pick up the tab for a party for their job well done.

Things were a lot different in those days in a lot of ways, but in a few they're still the same, too. And I wouldn't bet on the possibility that some present-day members might feel like carrying on their club's old traditions and policy. We'll see.

How in the world would someone ever convert these people?

Some are clearly guilty of treason. There were more than the required two witnesses to their acts giving aid and comfort to the enemies of the United States. Along with making war upon the United States, this constitutes the Constitutional definition of treason.

Me too! I moved from California, most of my neighbors and friends were exactly like the people in the photos above. Now I live in the midwest in a small town. Population: 200.
Noone can understand why I moved out of the "me, me, it's all about me" state. I am never going back. :)

"One World - One Party" - seems to me the antiglobalists are nothing but lying commies.

The mind boggles at the 'protestors' attempts to 'think' and come up with something worthwhile.
It was a msitake to read ALL of the signs, as I now feel breakfast returning with a vengeance.

Thanks for having the guts, patience, and mental fortitude for taking, compiling, and posting linkage to these images.
They state quite clearly what the left won't admit, they're all a bunch of Anti-American terrorist loving dhimmi weasels.

Thanks for these pictures, Swilhelm73.

I was "there" with your bird's eye view, but I didn't have to smell them!

Does anybody else find it funny that the militant lesbian was wearing a "Recall Bush" t-shirt. I'm sure her spiky haired partner walking next to her kept thinking, "I recall bush, just last night."

Do the "Queers for Palestine" realize they are dead meat in any Muslim territory?

Aren't they saying that Bush, CIA, Pentagon justified 9/11 rather than accusing them of plotting it? The anti-Americanism of these crapheads knows no bounds!

I have conversed with leftist. Five themes always are spoken of by them: 1) Clinton was cool-the best president EVER, 2) they passionately HATE Bush, 3) they hate true capitalism, positive achievement, and character-based morality, 4) they speak in terms of vile anti-jewish rhetoric, 5) they speak in terms of vile anti-american rhetoric.

Arguing with them is grabbing a lion's tail!

The fact that you would comment more on the sign than that blonde babe is beyond me!

That "blonde babe" would be more than happy to see you blown up in the next wave of terrorist attacks.

Nature is full of creatures whose beauty is rivaled only by their deadliness. This woman, and the other dangerous Leftists/Communists like her, will succeed in destroying America as long as people like you are are more interested in what's inside her shorts than what's inside her mind.
