I was a member of a smaller 1% MC my dad was one of the founders so it was kinda beat into me that I was going to be a member. The MC started in Big Bear CA in 76 and originally started as a little brother club to the HA, the HA in Berdoo saw that there was money to be had in the mountains and a great place to get away from the city but didn't see trying to put a charter there. I joined the MC in the late 90's when I was 18 and I decided to leave the life in 2021. I came to the realization that being in a 1% MC isn't as glamours as it was and there's no honor in the life anymore. I remember I could get in a fist fight with someone from a rival MC and it would be a fist fight. I remember if you got in a fist fight with someone that was not a part of an MC that it was one on one and if one of my brothers was not good enough I would simply break up the fight before his patch hit the ground and I and the rest of the club would buy the person a drink or burger and see if they wanted to hang out with us and if not call it good. There were times I had to tell my brothers not to be jumping in my fight if I was losing unless the person pulled a weapon, I was sergeant at arms. Then it got put into the bylaws that if a brother gets in a fist fight then every brother jumps on the non club member. So instead of attracting six people for being a tough loyal MC we attracted three people who were whimps and unloyal. And it's too the point that if you get into a tussle with a rival MC weapons are most likely going to get pulled. And every day a new bylaw is getting placed down and more and more rules so there's not enough freedom in a MC anymore. Now I just ride to ride and I am much happier with my life.

I’m surprised the largest gang in America wasn’t mentioned in this video. Considering all the wars this gang started, the shady deals they’ve done, all the crimes swept under the rug, the American Politicians gang needs to be in a documentary.

26:00 🤦‍♂️ dear god. Operation black biscuit was a complete joke. They got next to zero convictions. The agent never made it into the club. Not even close. He was ousted from the atf after because it was such a mess. He’s since had his house burnt to the ground …..

They need to tell the truth about Laughlin. They did not call for backup. The cops sent back up telling another group of angels that their friends were in trouble.

No doubt it's changed today, but when Hoover ran the FBI, agents grimly joked that his idea of an agent going "undercover" was to take off his jacket and tie and roll up his sleeves! 🙂
