The funeral was being held for Hells Angel Jeffrey "Jethro" Pettigrew, who was president of the Hells Angels' San Jose chapter.

A member of the rival Vagos motorcycle club is accused of killing Pettigrew Sept. 23 in a Sparks, Nev., casino, sending gamblers diving for cover. The mayor canceled a regional motorcycle rally as a result.

There usually is one dead at a funeral. Unless you’re Huck Finn.;^)

[Silentgypsy]

Does anyone know if Sonny Barger is still around?

Don’t invite Hell’s Angels to your funeral ping...

[vladimir998]

One dead? Well, that’s a start.

[SgtBob]

Yup...still above dirt.

[3Fingas]

Yes. He is living in Arizona. He mostly writes/co-writes books and makes occasional public appearances.

The San Jose Mercury News reports police and Santa Clara County sheriff's deputies are now guarding the Hells Angels headquarters in San Jose.

Maybe they ought to be interviewing members of the Vagos instead.

[Wolfie]

Technically it’s two dead.

WHY?

[ErnBatavia]

The local cemetery is in nearby Coachella (a 'sanctuary city' that's about 99 percent hispanic)....occasionally as we pass by we'll see a half dozen squad cars in the front area as a funeral is taking place within - with Mexicans, EVERYBODY goes to the burial.

I queried the maintenance guy while visiting the parents' grave and he said this is pretty typical when a gangbanger gets offed; they go down in retaliatory spurts.

Good! One less scumbag.
