This guy (and an accused conspirator) was on trial for murder back in 2005 (or 2006- can't remember)and later acquitted.

I actually came soooo close to being a juror on that trial. I got excused at the last second as it turned out my brother had gone to school with the brother's of the accused conspirator who was the owner of the strip club in which this particular killing took place.

Note to self: Do not attend Hell’s Angels funerals, or Bar Mitzvahs, for that matter.

Ha! He was the “sergeant-at-arms” for the Santa Cruz chapter of the club.

Well the last two paragraphs are very interesting.

After costing the city 1.8 Million bucks the San Jose cops now make an effort not to shoot dogs, or frighten children, when doing questionable searches for political purposes!

Too bad dogs and children in the rest of the country are still at risk.

Some say Tausan punched the shooter, who was another HA, before the shooter shot him. Others say some of Tausan’s friends grabbed and beat the shooter, and hauled him away to parts unknown.

Tausan was a "former Marine and professional middleweight boxer raised in East San Jose"

I think this is one of those rare cases when we can accurately call someone a "former Marine."

Something moved him to punch at the guy who shot him (another HA). A grudge? Something the guy said? Usually, there isn’t a lot of crime around Hells Angels because petty criminals are scared to death of them, and they take care not to get into altercations with the general public.

My guess is he’s really is a “Hells Angel” now, but I suspect he’ll find it’s not all that it’s cracked up to be.

Don’t know anything about the Hells Angels but I have had a few dealing’s with the Vagos when I had a welding shop out in Victorville Calif in the late 70’s. I was the only one in the area that had a Heli-Arc and did allot of repairs and fabrication on their bikes and other equipment. The were a rough looking bunch but never gave me any problems and always paid in cash.

Awwwww! Those Angels, can they ever... put on a fun funeral!

Is it just me, Gemma... or does that bot just piss off everybody?

Let me think... about that, babe.

Hummmmmmmm, Bender, what... do I remember about you?

Really, girl! You... have to think?

Oh, was that Bendy... was he ever great in the rack!

Yes... he was--

Clay, I've thought... about it--

And... it is just you.

And that was classic style, wasn't it, Seven? Just as the gunman opened fire, he screamed... "Just win, baby, win! Go Raiders!"

The local police don’t seem to be all that competent.

This story reads like an episode of “Sons of Anarchy”.
