I grew up around Bikers and a lot of them were in the Outlaws. A large majority of them have been to prison and live by that code rapist and child molesters are scum and end up severally disabled or dead.

I've seen Bikers more than once kicking the shit out of someone for messing with kids. Example: I was about nine we were at some Harley swapmeet myself and some other kids were out playing when some drunk Mexican with half a six pack in his hand started talking to us then pulls out his dick and starts pissing in front of us . We ran and told the parents next thing you know five bikers are kicking the shit out of this guy I remember the Mexican guy getting slammed to the ground and his beer busting open and spaying everywhere.

I call Bullshit because of my life experience around these guys.

Wow I had no idea how I unintentionally misrepresented my thoughts until I read your comment, thank you so much!!! (Written expression is hard for me sometimes.) Everyone knows the overwhelming majority of motorcycle club members are honorable people, but I didn't make it sound that way, accidentally.

I edited my original post to clarify, and also deleted the source article for the "1%" paragraph screen cap, because the Wikipedia title is "Outlaw Motorcycle Clubs," which isn't about the criminal 1% gangs I was talking about, alone. It's just the source. I apologize for the mistakes. Also your story brought tears to my eyes, by that I mean tears of happiness for you that you had good parents.

I mangled some other things too, people seemed to think I thought this was a case we could solve. But no, I'm just saying, 1%'ers may be people who can tell us a LOT in one way or another, and it was good to hear this story directly from Michael Cordell (in addition to Jim Rothstein's retelling of it in his great interviews.)
