Especially when most of the things portrayed on the media are no where near true. Alright I will admit that I am a Hells Angels supporter, I am a supporter of what they are, what they were intended to be and what they continue to do. However just because I a believe in what they are and support them so much I am also a highly intelligent person that understand the truth behind some occurrences. Even though I am a Hells Angels supporter that doesnt mean i dislike other clubs out there such as the Outlaws. I respect each 1%er club that actually pertains the firm beliefeof what they are, unlike such clubs as the Mongols. Now the reason I ask this is because I see alot of the time that people are mislead by everything these clubs stand for, stating that they are nothing more then gangs and criminal organizations, No they are not. This is only what they are clearly made out to look like when published by the media. When losers such as Hunter Thompson(who's writing is known for its credibility as being over exaggerated and far less then real) and Jay Dobyns publish books with unrealistic facts within them Also for many who do not understand this Donyns was dubbed a compromised agent after a series of actions while within the Hells Angels involving him on multiple types of drugs. Notably I can clearly say that msot of what he had stated in his book was nothing more then stories meant to credit his work and defend him against false accusations coming from both The Hells Angels as well as the ATF itself. Though I will not disagree, most members are indeed Felons this is not a result of the club being a criminal organization but a result of either poor decisions made by the club members individually or a result of there free beliefs as 1%ers. Now I am not saying that they should leave them alone but only fairly broadcast the evidence of those that have committed crimes from the club and occasionally "For" the club. I say "For" because I will explain a case in which the abuse of the Angels Organized brotherhood was misused. People such as Dave Burgess who was arrested for having child pornography on his laptop. After being arrested he was Excommunicated from the club for this action as the Hells Angels much like many other clubs do not tolerate this sick sh1t for any reason. And my main disappointment, Mom Boucher. AS many may know was the president of the Quebec Chapter and founder of the Nomads. Truly the biggest mistake of the club for letting this man become a member. He single handedly manipulated the identity of the club and abused its brotherhood and gained the Angels Credit as a criminal organization. he had put many people in harms way, did not care for the Club or his fellow members and only abused his position as chapter president. Lucky that bastard is now in jail and can rot for the rest of his life, I hope he gets stabbed again. I bring up these 2 mainly because they are notably 2 of many mistakes the club has made. The clubs themselves are not criminal organizations however much like Law Enforcement who have many members that abuse there power it is bound to happen withing clubs that have many chapters around the world and this bs reputation given to them. 1% Motorcycle Clubs are Brotherhoods of people who believe in the freedom in which our country was founded upon. The reason exactly why they do not believe they need to register with the AMA. Most Members of these clubs are found guilty for crimes committed as a result of constant changes of the law throughout time. We firmly believe our original rights are the only rights we need to fallow and value the most. Anyone who has ever met any Outlaw MC or live near one will tell you first hand, they are nice, they protect there "Territory" not because they claim it as there own but because it is indeed there home of where the club resides and they value there homes and cities and the citizens around them. Many will tell you how there cities are kept safe by these clubs. I am not stating obviously that they are entirely "legit" as I stated before many still believe in old laws and are indeed a rough group, however very friendly and very caring for others around them. The only crimes I will not try to convince are unaccountable is the constant rivalry between other Clubs. However if you join a Club, you are well aware of what you are getting into as a result of those rivalries. One day I intend on Being a Hells Angel in the Berdoo chapter. I still respect all of the other clubs however that deserve there respect. Outlaws and Vagos do the same as us. They Protect and enforce. People should learn to understand the true meaning of these Clubs instead of what the media portrays.
