I have met members of a Christian biker group. I have met bikers who were Vietnam veterans. These guys were respectful and well spoken. They dressed the part and rode some pretty awesome bikes. For the most part, biker gangs are all about enjoying the freedom of the open road. It had been this way since post-WW2.
Is that a BROTHA riding dirty with a biker gang!!!????? :smt103 I heard many of these gangs recruit ex-military into their clubs. If the electrical grid goes down nationwide for more than a week, the whole country is going to be Mad Max.
If the klan and hillbilly militia groups can recruit ex military, why not bikers too One of the bikers arrested is a retired black cop also The one gang has a 'road captain' with a Waffen SS tattoo...so I don't think the black guys are in that one??? Lol This reminds me of sons of anarchy where blacks aren't allowed initially....but (SPOLER ALERT) then you get the mixed black guy and the offer to the black biker gang to patch over into the sons
What's crazy is the fear of the club finding out he was black lead to so much bs in that club. Makes you wonder why the fuck would anyone want to be a part of something that made you feel so bad and so desperate to the point you're killing and covering up murders.
As much as I loved SOA, that's the part that really, really pissed me off. This dude nearly killed himself because his racist homeboys would have kicked him out...yet they had no problem with him when they thought that he was Hispanic! I know it's only a TV show but that whole backstory had me like "really?"
Happy looks Hispanic too.....that crazy ass mothafucka Hispanics can mark down white on the census, so I'm guessing that's all good over @ redwood
Happy was crazy as hell. I always wondered what the hell his race was supposed to be but I just automatically assumed he was Latino. Hell yeah, you know it lol. I still say that if not for Wesley Snipes back in the 90s, dark skin men would still be invisible to women.
here you go bliss.....people are protesting to release some bikers from the biker shootout...read why http://www.npr.org/2015/05/23/408926836/theyre-not-gang-members-bikers-protest-mass-arrests-in-waco
I wonder if the proportion of offenders to innocent bikers was the same as the proportion of "thugs" to protesters during the police shooting protests.
By definition of being part of the "club" makes them guilty. Isn't that felony murder or conspiracy to commit murder if they knew conflict resulting in death was a part of the meeting?
My understanding of the R.I.C.O. statute is that by virtue of your membership in the organization you are part of the conspiracy. The felony murder rule is different: if your commission of a felony results in the death of someone, you are charged with felony murder for it. You don't have to know death would be involved.
