Law enforcement raided an Outlaws clubhouse in Indiana. The neighborhood that it was located in was furious. The local residents said that with the Outlaws clubhouse being there, they didn’t have to worry about thefts, vandalism, drugs and crime because the Outlaws looked after the neighborhood.

Being just a bit familiar with motorcycle gangs, this story is a load of poo, painted white, with perfume sprayed on top of it.

“...Witnesses say he convulsed and bled for up to 45 minutes, receiving no medical help from police who swarmed all around him. Ambulances were parked nearby, but Rhyne spent his final moments with a young Cossack who desperately tried to staunch the bleeding with a bandanna. Jake Wilson, the “brother” who was with him, calls his death “a very big injustice.”...”
************************************************************************************

And THIS is yet just another reason why I can’t understand how the despicable Waco authorities can sleep at night.

It sure sounds like gross negligence manslaughter to me.

I agree, they are not choir boys.

“...the Bandidos’ top leaders had secretly declared war on the Cossacks, ordering their minions to attack Cossacks on contested turf...”

Contested over what, helping little old ladies cross the street? /s

“Though the Bandidos’ top leaders had secretly declared war on the Cossacks...”

It was no secret, both gangs had been openly warring with each other for at least a year before the Waco shooting. The Cossacks were no choir boys like this article is trying to paint them.

I’m an accountant by trade and pt bartender. My bikers not only tip well, but keep the peace. I welcome colors.
Are there some bad apples? Of course. But I know the officers. Should I call them, they would take care of any issues. Most bikers are the most generous people you would ever meet.
I’m an Eagles rider.

Exactly. Criminal gangs don’t start wars with “social clubs”. They fight over turf for their criminal operations.

This biker worship on FR is getting a little silly. Who gives a rat’s a$$ about those morons? I’m referring to the outlaw clubs and not the legitimate clubs, me having owned over a half dozen Harleys in my 65 yrs., along with another half dozen “limeys” I raced in the late 60’s, early 70’s. I was never impressed by the 1% idiots and don’t lose sleep over some errant LEO’s re: biker gangs.

The same could be said for the Mafia, the Black Panthers, Saddam Hussein, even Stalin and Hitler, crime, other than their crime, is low when they are around. I’m certain you would be proud if your son became a member or your daughter dated or married one.

Like my husband has told me many times, too many rules. How is that Free?

Jake Rhyne bears a strong resemblance to the Cossack who shot Marine vet Jesse Rodriguez in the face while he was on the ground fighting with another Cossack.
