“but beat murder and racketeering charges”
So far, anyway.
That’s gonna be one heckofa funeral procession.
Are they still around? As a kid in ‘70s California, the Hells Angels loomed large in my imagination. You’d see them on 101 north of San Francisco. You’d see them on the freeway to Santa Cruz. You’d see them on 880 in Oakland. They’d roar past you in groups measuring in the dozens. Their Harleys were loud, and they looked sinister. It was as if a cell block’s worth of San Quentin inmates were on the freeway next to your car, only they weren’t locked up.
Hell’s Angels are usually very friendly..............................unless you piss them off.............
Oh Boy!
Just stay OuttA the Way,
Vroom!
I read Hunter Thompson’s “Hell’s Angels” when I was 15. It was a real eye-opener for a youngster from a small town. Thompson was noted for his gonzo lifestyle but the guy could be a very eloquent writer when the mood struck him. Recommended if you haven’t read it. Notable is Thompson’s description of a Hell’s Angel without his bike as being a sad sight, just another small time loser..
I seen one here in Prescott just last month at a Goodwill store,took a Picture and ran away,
HA!
RIP Sonny,
Or whatever.
.
Does a Chicken have lips?
Thats going to be one hell of a funeral
any of the biker gangs are friendly, had one in the hospital i worked at back in the 70’s was not the angles, might have been a mongol. anyway this guy ate it on the freeway broke his long bone was in the hospital 3 months, best security the hospital ever had!!!! they would bring us food and stuff just for taking care of their guy
I wonder if it’ll be televised?...............
They had the security contract, so it probably was him.........
the dude in question is around 3:52 mark. Definitely not him.
But he may be in the video of the chaos
Who gets to play him in the TV movie?
I vote for Will Smith or Idris Elba:
