Hells Angels: Sonny Barger, Sandy Alexander & George Christie - News Reports

[@erikthorsen4466]

I have read that the Hells Angels were the first group to been indicted using RICO. Like it was a test case of sorts.

[@MOBFAX]

The 1st news clip covers that

[@pauliedibbs9028]

Interesting.. probably because they are a public entity/organization… versus the mob, who are a “secret society” and thus harder to prove to be an actual organization in court.

[@BAsed_AFro]

Test tube babies 🍿

[@nimitz1739]

I could see how they would try the angels before the mob. The mob is better organized.

[@pauliedibbs9028]

@@nimitz1739 well it's not even that.. The Angels literally copyrighted themselves as a corporation, so a piece of cake to prove they're an organization in court...

[@erikthorsen4466]

Disgruntled member in Alaska? LOL. Tate was not disgruntled at all. He was there from the get-go as an informant.

[@dustinmercer1378]

Exactly. Tony Tate wanted to be a cop even before he became an informant😂

[@Kylefassbinderful]

I love seeing old bay are news clips.

[@chuckselvage3157]

I read Sonnys book. They beat RICO when they said they couldn't do it.

[@lostinthegrave7462]

1:54 I saw Hells Angels Forever a while ago, don't remember too much from it other than enjoying the Sandy Alexander interviews and the cool soundtrack.

[@Zoe33x667]

The soundtrack was great. A couple good Johnny Paycheck songs I love on there

I think Cisco did a little toot before his statement at the 11:57 mark.

[@Wolverines4ever-sl1js]

Sure looks like him...he died in 1985 I don't when this news cast was shown

George Christi has a channel now.

[@JamesBlackwood-t8x]

Geoorge must have got bail, because I meet him at Limelight when we rode from 3rd st to a benefit.

[@irishguyjg_2ndchancerecovery]

Anti-tank weapons??!! Really.?

[@BAsed_AFro]

Anti-stank weapons, mostly

[@happydayz7857]

George Christie currently serves as a consultant on organized crime for CNN. He lives with his wife and son in Southern California and has three adult children.

[@MOBFAX]

Interesting

DROP the VHS effect...the only real VHS clips, were the only part without the fake snow of VHS break up.

[@MOBFAX]

There is no VHS effect. The news clip in the beginning is from an old news report

[@tiger1044]

And how did the RICO trials work out for 'em? 😅

[@flagsabbath6483]

When I was 8 or 9 we went to sturgis for the rally. We were moving from NC to Washington and my mom wanted to see all the sights along the way. There were angels , pagans, outlaws, etc. All those dude were super nice. It was just my mom, sister and I. I’ve known a lot of dudes from different clubs, Cossacks, Banditos, ghost riders, booze fighters. I’ve never come across any that were complete pricks. They’ve all been very respectful. Obviously they do bad shit but I always had a soft spot for those guys

[@KernowekTim]

Good old Sonny. GBNF. RIP.

I remember back in the early 1970's I bought a "Free Sonny Barger" T-shirt for like 3 dollars. I wonder how much it would be worth now? 🤔

Then why are they constantly involved in drug trade/organized crime? As far as motorcycle clubs go there are far better options than them, like H.O.G.

Depends on the organization.

re: tHE HELMET LAW PROTEST. hERE IN oHIO WE HAD 3 hELMET LAW RUNS IN THE 70'S. aLL LED BY oUTLAWS , iRON hORSEMEN AND rENEGADES. We sat in a truck stop waiting for the Hells Angels from Cleveland to join the protest. They never showed. We got rid of our helmet laws in 79, all the while the weak protest in California had no weight and they are still stuck with it.
