Tucker Carlson turned up at the funeral of Hells Angels leader funeral Sonny Barger Saturday, and delivered an impassioned speech in honor of the fallen societal figure.

Carlson, 53, was one of more than 7,000 gathered at the Stockton 99 Speedway to pay respects to the fallen Ralph 'Sonny' Barger, who died in June following a brief battle with throat cancer, aged 83.

Don’t have a clue as to Carlson’s thoughts, but i do know that I would go to a Biden funeral and speak. And share my thoughts.

“Hells Angels never terrorized Italian neighborhoods”

A Bronx Tale has the greatest Italian neighborhood bar vs Hells Angel types fights ever.

The local lets the bikers come in the bar and have one beer but no trouble, then the bikers start being jerks. He locks the doors and says “nows you can’t leave”

He was a mobster, yes. He certainly wasn’t a Christian.

But he loved America, valued honor and fought the Black Panthers and the Weather Underground directly.

That’s not a bad thing in my book.

Great scene in "A Bronx Tale" loosely based on a true story (language warning)

Hunter Thompson - “Hell’s Angel’s” - a good book. Thompson makes the point that without their bikes, Hell’s Angels were just a bunch of sad looking, small time criminals.

And I’m sure the HAMC has no role in human trafficking over the open southern border that Tucker talks about incessantly on his show. Love the “Mexicano” patch on that one guy /s. What an absolute garbage thing for Tucker to do.

Well, some friends and I played some music this past Saturday for the Street Vibrations motorcycle rally in Virginia City NV at the Red Dog Saloon. Friday night a band called the Fryed Brothers Band played. They are a staple in the biker community. They had an engagement for Saturday so opted out of playing on Saturday. Their other engagement was performing at the Barger celebration of life event. I heard that there was a charge to attend of $60/person since food and beverages would be provided. We had a great time in Virginia City and not all bikers went to the Barger event since there were tons of them in Virginia City. No problems with anyone from the various clubs that were there. But Tucker attending does seem really odd.

Maybe hedging his bets in case he needs them?

Here we go again, everyone will have to denounce Carlson, and apologize, while the Media-Dem Party is NEVER asked about any of the radical actions or statements made by their side. Has anyone asked any dem to denounce the murder in ND where the murderer justified his crime by claiming the victim was a “radical republican”? Has ANY democrat denounced the 600 riots in 2020? Of course not, they welcome Communists, Socialists, Weathermen, Black Panthers, Antifa, BLM, former Klansmen without hesitation.

Well, he had a brief bout with throat cancer and hid larynx was removed decades ago and he died following that by about 30 years.

I recall the very first time I saw Tucker Carlson on TV.

I was thinking, ‘that dude is really rough looking. Maybe he is in the Bandidos, but then I watched a bit more and thought, yeah, that Tucker Carlson looks to be hardcore Hell’s Angles.’

Gangs have a high code of conduct, They drift from their original purpose just like FR.

Most of what we know about the Hells Angels we know from the media.

There are good individuals there and they change also.

Look at this as attempt to get them back to their roots and redirect to good. They are very patriotic if you will look, their methods may be another matter.

FR is off course many times too.

The Rolling Stones hiring the Hells Angels for security at one of their concerts was one of the most boneheaded moves in rock history. And they paid them in BEER!

If there was an Internet around back then, we could have warned that them that this would not end well.

Would be a real shame if these bikers took care of antifa communists.

He then asked, growing increasingly animated: ‘Why aren’t we hearing that from the people who run the country? Why is it left to Sonny Barger to say, “Stand tall, stay loyal, remain free, and always value honor?”


“Stand tall, stay loyal, remain free, and always value honor?”

Tucker forgot to wear his socks.

It seems that over the past 20 years men have started wearing their shoes like women. Low socks, no socks, etc.

At least he's not wearing a man bun and carrying a purse. Yet.

Looking at the pics of where Tucker is at the lectern, the band gear behind him is indeed that of the Fryed Brothers. LOL! Guess they really did have an engagement for Saturday.
