Exactly.

They make them sound like....well, the Pacers or something.

LOL

Any raid of Hell's Angels is legal.

Uh, Hells Angels are doctors, politicians, lawyers (you may be right on this one) dads, moms, and Freepers, too.

Are you insinuating this could possibly be a righteous bust gone wrong

due to a scared, poorly trained officer discharging their weapon

at a Hell's Angels biker that was pointing a weapon at them during entry?

All cops are Jack Booted Thugs no matter what crime or criminal they are attempting to stop!

Libertarian threads get more entertaining every day.

I see it as a sort of political penis envy.

I like the HA's who are into cleaning living (as much as they can afford to do). I do NOT like the ones who still distribute drugs. It is impossible for a raid to happen at the HA clubhouse near me. They have a ten foot high fence with video cameras all around the house. Maybe some clubhouses aren't as well protected.

[CPOSharky]

Lets see... At 4:45 AM, six seconds between knock and grenade assisted entry, and the only charge is assualt on an officer with a weapon that was NOT fired.

No mention of drugs being found.

You figure it out.

What is your point? I probably WAS a 'righteous' (as you call it) bust gone wrong. I don't know about scared and poorly trained but anyone kicking in the door of a biker gang at 5am must be WANTING a shootout. Until a criminal has been convicted by a jury of peers in THIS country they STILL HAVE RIGHTS. It does not mater how criminal they are those right still exist and even if you and some cops wish they didn't/

Hand gun? No thank you. Shot gun is the ticket for filling up a doorway with home invasion deterrent.
Knock on the door, flash bang, caved in door, then you get shot. If these guys want to get into combat so bad they should sign up now and taste the real thing.

[DainBramage]

LOL no mention of anything but the biker being shot. No mention of the warrant,

or what the reason for the initial raid was,... rape, drugs, murder. No body here cares,

you just like posting stories of anything anti-police, then taking turns bragging

about how you would blast their asses off if they did it to you.

I'm sure it was just a bunch of cops that decided on their own to go screw around with the Hell's Angels to see what would happen.

Who knows maybe even trample some drug dealers rights.

I'm sure its all in the JBT handbook.

[MJRitter]

Where do people get the ridiculous idea that Hell's Angels are dangerous?

I don't know things like the Laughlin, NV Harrah's fight that left 3 dead about 12 wounded.

Statements like "Besides all that copyright bullshit, if you try and steal from us, you will be beat'in with your own computer."

They have a reputation for violence and have plenty of memebers who are more than willing to keep it alive.

[stylin19a]

Tell the Hell's Angels that, since the case was thrown out, they have to come get their drugs. When they pick 'em up....arrest them again.

[AppyPappy]

You make them sound like such ruffians.

[Smogger]

Uh, Hells Angels are doctors, politicians, lawyers

LOL! Living in Ontario, CA one city away from the Fontanna, CA where the "Angels" were first formed, I can tell you that's a crock. They're methamphetamine manufacturers and distributors, and drug traffickers in general. Though, many of the worst offenders are in federal prison.

More importantly, when does her trial start?

When does her trial start? HAHAHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHAHA!

You're not from around here are you?

[zeugma]

If these guys want to get into combat so bad they should sign up now and taste the real thing.

Uh, I don't think they are much into situations where their intended victim can shoot back.!

Thanks, L

I searched this story 6 ways to Sunday before I posted it 'cause it had FR all over it, but it didn't come up

Can't hurt to post it twice I guess

[azsportsterman]

I personally know several HA that are members of those professions. I also know severl more that are currently serving and retired members of the US military. Just as we don't condemn all members of Christian organizations as abortionists, there are members of these organizations that support abortion. Perhaps you shouldn't be painting the entire group of HA members by the actions of a few.
