In Canada, bikers are a notorious problem, because nobody opposes them. The hell's angels (and their associates) have a powerful PR machine and they have countless apologists painting them as something they are not.
The result is that criminal bikers are worshiped as demigods by ignorant citizens. It's a point of honor for a typical french-Quebecois idiot to be a fan of the Hell's angels. Criminal biker gangs in Canada are responsible for hundreds of murders. One hell's angel recently arrested in Panama killed 22 people. There's a case of a hell's angel from Quebec, (Yves Trudeau) who admitted to killing 43. As far as I know he's walking around a free man. Besides murder, only other thing they do is sell drugs. Entire towns are controlled by them. Too bad the cops up there are not Texans. Massacring a few dozen of these worthless criminal bastards would do a lot of good for society. Why the f- do law-abiding citizens need to live with this crap in their cities?
I know, just evil.
YMMV, but you paint with too broad a brush.
Yes, there are some very serious badasses up there, but not everyone who rides belongs to those clubs.
....”The hell’s angels (and their associates) have a powerful PR machine and they have countless apologists painting them as something they are not”......
The Mafia tried to present itself as so called good Catholics oftentimes gave to the church considerable donations etc. That’s because when you know you may face a jury some day you need to build a little goodwill to flaunt.
Image and perception are front and center today. Not what really is, but what you can make people think it is.... Al Capone hosted childen’s Christmas parties for the under-priviledged kids in his neighborhood in Chicago too. Much like the BS charitable work these Biker thugs do.
It’s all just a cover for their drug dealing and human trafficking and all their other criminal activity.
