A couple of years ago, I worked Casino Security. We had a group of Mongols come in and sit at the bar. About 30 minutes later a group of Hell's Angels came in and sat at another bar across the room. We actually had experience with both groups as they would both come in at one time or another to play or drink or whatever, but never at the same time. Both the Hell's Angels and Mongols were actually really chill if you talked to any of them, however we were stressed to the max just waiting for something to pop off. Thankfully both groups just stuck to themselves. We were expecting the opposite.

[@clagos2203]

@@wb3213as someone who can speak to that it is absolutely 100% True. There is a prohibition against selling narcotics. The reason for the rule is that in the past before the raids in 2008 there were some members heavily involved in that activity. But it brought too much heat to the club. The Club does not profit from or have anything to do with that business. So it was prohibited . There is kind of a don’t ask don’t tell rule. What you do on your own time is YOUR business, you keep it far away from the Club. And if somehow those two things (the Club and your personal business ) should ever cross paths and it puts a brother in danger or causes him to lose his freedom or God forbid lose his life,there will be some pretty serious consequences and your membership in the club is over. ✌️

Very few actually understand who mooch really is. I really wish this would’ve been uncut due to mooch being able to speak more freely. This interview was butchered where only the highlights were taken from this. He would’ve never put a 20 minute interview like this one turned out. This has been cut from over 2 hours of raw film. Mooch sincerely cared about his brothers. I was struggling with work and family issues and I came home from work after a 14 hour day. When I opened my garage door he was in my garage picking up take off bike parts and cleaned up my entire garage. He only did this due to him knowing what I was going through, and wanted to help ease my stress. He always helped his brothers any way he could. I didn’t come from the major club, I just helped kick off LTR. Love you mooch, I’ll see you soon.

Hi from the UK. Thank you for a down to earth no bullshit interview. I became a patch holder in 1974 and became sergeant at arms of that group. The more dominant group in the county set out to be the only group in the county and the inevitable happened. A lot of people got hurt quite badly with one also killed in the general fallout. I ended up being the only person who dared to still wear my colours (no, I was not brave, just young and stubborn) and displayed the intent to take on the whole chapter that had been hunting us, when eventually they caught up with me. I remember thinking 'this is it'. Nothing happened they just rode by staring hard at me. A few days later they called at my place, (an ex member of the same chapter as me had told them where to find me). I was offered the chance to keep my old colours with honour and also my rank as they happened to be short of a sergeant at arms for some reason. Common sense prevailed as the conversation was not animated, and some few days later I agreed with their terms. Years of ups and downs followed (you know what I mean). I'm 68 now and still riding but no longer a patch holder. Thanks for the memories, keep safe. Dog.

One thing about the Hells Angels beef with the Mongols. I've heard the bottom rocker story for years but a few years ago I saw a docu series with George Christie. He said that a formal Angel ratted on club members or got some one killed. But basically that guy ran away and joined the Mongols. At the time the Mongols accepted anyone that can ride. When they saw him at an event the traitor hid with the Mongols and a war began. From the way that Mongols still take anyone fairly easily, it's a plausible scenario.

Yeah, they're real 'respectful ' when they call women 'old ladies' & exclude them. Women are dogs in these all male (homophile) clubs.🙄

[@greedybat6123]

i love these videos and honestly this guy seems nice and helpful but it's really hard to believe that he only ever tried to stop fights and wasn't fully aware of the drug trafficking lol

[@AnarexicSumo]

He talked about there being a rule with no human trafficking, not drug trafficking.

Mongolian here, nothing Mongolian here

[@catbangs276]

I remember when I was in Montebello elementary school in 1970, I saw a handful of Mongols hanging out at a school friend's house. Then a few months later that handful grew to dozens then dozens more. I was afraid to walk down Greenwood Avenue when they were there. I thought they were the Hells Angele's but later learned they were the Mongols.

Mooch is the man honestly.. I’ve followed him for years! Glad he’s on the positive path he wants in life.

Getting into law enforcement I expected motorcycle clubs/gangs to be very intimidating and dangerous. So far, having dealt with a few dozen of them, I've been severely disappointed. Mostly its immature adults who hate being accountable for their actions and fold as soon as a tiny bit of pressure gets put onto them. Overweight, never in fighting shape, and mostly individually broke. The most dangerous ones seem to be the ones trying to get their patch...That would be scary except they seem to always be living on Moms couch and cant hold a simple job. Informative video though.

The biggest controversy came when they pushed to include unicycles.

“I didn’t want him to join. He had a lot going for himself.” You’re describing someone who doesn’t the other person to join a gang. So basically these are all gangs. Every incident, behavior, rules, all fall in line with gang culture.

[@WholeSomeHomie]

Yes

[@mitchellwright5478]

A lot of them aren’t in WitPro, a lot of them just left that life without having problems, some of them have died because of it, but that happened a lot years ago, nowadays, atleast in the US it’s different, for example with MC’s, a lot of the time they just operate under a ‘no contact’ law for people that left

[@michaelhenderson3033]

@Roguchii Absolutely not. Depends who the p off the most.

[@frank2107]

In this case he’s not really saying anything that might hurt the club or giving any information about the club that isn’t already out there, so I don’t think he’s taking that big a risk.

[@ChatPassenger]

Good story! Hope his past doesn’t cost him anything bad by other MC or even his previous Club.

[@bryant8635]

For anyone wondering what it is really like, Mooch is telling the God’s honest truth. I was involved in an adjacent club around the same time as Mooch in a different state, and his description is as accurate as it gets from our club as well. He isn’t kidding about cops exaggerating… I have read and seen supposed reports that I was literally there for and it was entirely embellished. I am long past those days now, but I look back fondly and I always laugh when someone gets their ideas about being clubbed up from some true crime show or SOA. Also to add for those doubting, the no dealing drugs rule was a very real thing for most clubs in that era. That is absolutely true. Not everyone followed it, but they got their patches pulled pretty quick if they got caught.
