The really dangerous days of the Angels may be over, but they still traffic drugs, etc. and deal in less than legal comodities, shall we say.
They started using black Jeep Cherokees to take some of their more delicate business around in.
I knew an angel up north, and the tales he told would make your head spin, and not in a pleasant, "I just got off the rollercoaster" way.
For instance, They dosed a chimpanzee with LSD and let it sexually assault a member's girlfriend once, just because.
And the time someone let a sack full of kittens, (no, I'm not making this up,) out on the floor and they had a contest to see who could stomp the most.
I certainly wouldn't want to piss any of them off, so I steer clear. I turned down the few invites to their parties, because truthfully, I was scared of getting in too deep. Nice enough guys, and I can't won't say any more about the other things I have seen/heard.
Their secrets are safe with me!
As an aside, I earned my redwings once, but completely by accident. No patch on my coat, though...
I'm an accidental tourist of sorts.
I believe the absolute heyday for the HA was through the late 60's and to the late 70's, but they have their fingers in a handful of pies to this day.
Back in the 70's there were biker gangs all over tha place, like the Lexington Lords and the Bedford Barons.
That was when you could actually have a decent street fight and killing was the exception rather than the norm. You could truly live to fight another day if you lost, unless you "really crossed someone important".
Hats off to the Angels, for sticking it out like they have. The world still needs outlaws.
lol
