“It is to all intents and purposes a uniform.”
Not by accident. Most of the original clubs were founded by Veterans.
“The colors worn by motorcycle gangs/clubs are considered by them to be exclusive, to the extent they will react violently to anyone unauthorized wearing them.”
Not all. There are many clubs that are Christian based who also wear colors.
There’s a commitment to joining a motorcycle club. If you don’t make that commitment, you don’t deserve to wear the colors.
Let a couple of Marines catch some butthole wearing their uniform without having made the commitment.
Comparing MC Clubs to Bloods, Crips, MS-13, is not exactly accurate. Many times kids are drafted into the latter, and can’t escape. Also the majority of these gangs commit crime.
Joining a MC club is difficult, and you can walk away from the lifestyle if you desire. Only a small minority of these clubs are criminals. Hence the 1%er patch.
Correct, which is of course why in all of my posts I’ve referred to gangs, not clubs. The 1%, if you will.
By all accounts, the Bandidos are one of the leading worldwide 1% gangs.
Joining street gangs is easy
Joining one percenters
You have to really want it
To be in the prison true Aryan Brotherhood takes effort and commitment as well
La Eme takes commitment
Crips or bloods or Latin Kings or any of the myriad of folk or people street gangs just takes knowing someone and proving oneself or being valuable
Outlaw MC hanger ons /prospects have to endure a year or two to prove they are serious
It seems like it’s the attraction of belonging and being needed
And power and respect
In some ways like wise guys...
I just noticed what poor background this journalist did
Bandidos were founded mid 60s in San Antonio by a Nam vet
Seeing as many articles as we Freepers peruse isn’t it a pity how poor journalistic accuracy is
And that was easy to google
“Siri....when and where was the Bandidos motorcycle club formed?”
