Yep....Movies and TV show tend to make these guys out as some sort of Robin Hoods or rebels. They are really goons and thugs. They will do anything for a buck. But I still would feel safer around bikers than street gangs.
I do agree about that. I can safely leave a bar when they enter; my chances aren’t as good trying to leave Compton or the Green in Chitown safely after making a wrong turn. Although, I know with some bike gangs that if I was the wrong color, I might not be able to leave that same bar intact. In that aspect as well, they are similar to urban gangs.
Yeah, I also despise how Hollywood likes to romanticize these kinds of violent, loathesome thugs and cretins. I still frankly even bristle whenever I see things like the old “Bonnie and Clyde” film with Warren Beatty. Even though its a well-made and beautifully filmed movie, the whole glamorization of some truly horrid people who did truly horrid things never fails to really get under my skin.
