More here than I had previously seen about Miller.
Big O is the step-father of Richie “Chain” the first to die in more than one account, including Ledbetter’s.
From Ledbetter: “One of those at the front of the arriving cyclists rolled toward a provisional member of the Cossacks, who was in the parking lot, and drove over his foot.
The Cossacks, including Diesel and Ledbetter, surged from the patio, jumping over a small fence, and scrambled to protect the prospect named Cliff. He was so new he didn’t have a nickname.
A Cossack known as Big O [Reeves] led the way and demanded an explanation.
The biker said he rode over Cliff’s foot because he was in the way of reaching a parking area.
After a few heated words, the biker vowed the matter would be settled after lunch.
“You’re f-——g right we will,” responded Big O.
But a biker from the Bandidos-affiliated group said his leader had been disrespected.
He threw a punch at a Cossack who went by the nickname Chain. Chain dodged it, threw a punch of his own. The biker then whipped out a handgun, pressed it to Chain’s chest and pulled the trigger.
Chain fell to the pavement.
He was the first to die.
“What the hell?” Ledbetter thought. The man had pulled out a gun at a fistfight.”
Seems Big O and Chain were side-by-side.
Chain was not Barnum, Cliff was not Barnum. Who was Barnum?
