Leaked Report Profiles Military, Police Members of Outlaw Motorcycle Gangs
The Intercept ^ | 5/22/2015 | Jana Winter and Jordan Smith

Posted on 05/23/2015 5:30:48 PM PDT by PapaBear3625

Nuclear power plant technicians, senior military officers, FBI contractors and an employee of “a highly-secretive Department of Defense agency” with a Top Secret clearance. Those are just a few of the more than 100 people with sensitive military and government connections that law enforcement is tracking because they are linked to “outlaw motorcycle gangs.”

A year before the deadly Texas shootout that killed nine people on May 17, a lengthy report by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives detailed the involvement of U.S. military personnel and government employees in outlaw motorcycle gangs, or OMGs. A copy of the report was obtained by The Intercept.

The report lays out, in almost obsessive detail, the extent to which OMG members are represented in nearly every part of the military, and in federal and local government, from police and fire departments to state utility agencies. Specific examples from the report include dozens of Defense Department contractors with Secret or Top Secret clearances; multiple FBI contractors; radiological technicians with security clearances; U.S. Department of Homeland Security employees; Army, Navy and Air Force active-duty personnel, including from the special operations force community; and police officers.

The rule i know of is that if you reference someone in a post, you ping them.

All I made reference to was that you were wrong.

Yesterday I rode an escort for a Marine who died on active duty. Our group led the funeral procession from the Church to the cemetery. We stood a flag line on both locations.

Did you spend your Saturday wearing “Assless Chaps?” I don’t own any of those and I’m not familiar with them. You seem to have “intimate experience” with such items.

A Marine who died on active duty deserves better than you.

This is classic “biker” MO.....align yourself with heros, co-opt the flag or the defunct vietnam era “MIA” issue in hopes that some of the heroics will rub off on you in peoples minds.

You are a follower, nothing more. Like most biker gang members, such as the ones in this shootout.

If they had only listened to their mothers, they would have avoided all of this. Instead they band together in large numbers pretending to be “lone wolf Harley riders”, and now whining that there is some conspiracy against them.

I don’t believe you.

By the way, I’m a Veteran - Iraq and Afghanistan. Most of my fellow Patriot Guard Riders are Veterans. Many are Viet Nam Vets.

Want to smear us some more?

Biker’s claim it is the love of the open road that they are drawn to.

Then they join a club where they are told when and where to ride and then ride in a large group playing follow the leader in tight formation at a barely legal speed.

The only delight they get seems to be harassing the general public with their loud display of ‘manhood’.

Hey, you’re the one who is obsessing about homo-erotic leather fetishes.

By the way, how can someone be a follower while also pursuing a “lone wolf Harley riders” lifestyle?

Your alleged thought process seems disjointed and contradictory. Put down the crack pipe.

“. Most of my fellow Patriot Guard Riders”

So. The PGR’s have to get their patches authorized by the controlling gang in the state!

What’s the deal. I am told the Bandidos are all fine upstanding gentlemen?

” Please remember, also, that not only do you face placing yourself in danger from folks like the Bandidos and possibly others if you violate their instructions, you may very well make things very difficult for our Oklahoma PGR brothers and sisters who live and ride there on a daily basis.”

The Jews thought they could coexist with Hitler ...

He claims to be a Patriot Guard Rider. No one has smeared the good clubs but these ‘good bikers’ here use ‘us’ and ‘we’ to include them and the outlaws!

I did some googling on the PGR. They send out warnings all the time on what to wear and where to ride so as to stay out of trouble from the outlaws. Some seem to indicate that the controlling gang contacts them directly.

Why in the heck would a ‘good organization’ honor a member of a criminal enterprise?


The family of James “Stroker” Wiggs invites the Patriot Guard Riders to join them in honor and remembrance of their loved one. Stroker was a veteran of the US Air Force and served in Vietnam. He was a retired member of the Bandidos MC, member of the CMA, and a charter and life member of ABATE of Arkansas. He was a MRF instructorand taught riding courses for 10 years. Stroker was founder and pastor of “Church of the Word” in the East End Community.

how is it possible I can’t find four articles on this thing only several days later. There is some in Washington Post article that warns that it is second hand information about someone seeing the Bandidos shoot the Cossacks. I find that hard to believe. Most of the shots were to the head and neck. That is indicative of Swat.I don’t think we will if we will ever find out the real story.how many towns have been torn down by rioting the past few years? I don’t remember one person being shot dead
