And How do you know the Hells Angels guy is a dirtbag. They are not the old school Hells Angels.. I mean they are not like the idiots that started it. If so they would be all over the news.. This man was killed because of who he was.. Not what he did.

How naive you are. You are right in a way. The "new" Hell's Angels are different, the have learned how to keep a low profile and have tried to clean up their image. They are, however, still drug runners, murderers and all around bad guys. Anyone who thinks differently have simply fallen for their PR campaign.

The main difference between real old school Angels and the new ones are the originals were all WWII vets who couldn't handle the peaceful life so created a gang and raised hell. The movie "The Wild Ones" was a movie based on the original Angels treeing Angels Camp, a town in Northern California not far from where I live now. Marlon Brando rode a Triumph 500cc Twin in that movie. Wish I had one today:)

The movie is “The Wild One” and is based on an incident that happened in Hollister CA in 1947, and involved the Boozefighters Motorcycle Club. HA were founded in 1948 or 1953 depending on whose story you believe.
