Let's get ready to rumble!

"The New Hampshire men arrested are: Girard P. Conti, 58, of Alton; James W. Deveau, 54, of 32 Mast Road, Epping; William J. Ellis, 57, of 101 Foster Pond Road, Alexandria; Robert G. Holmes, 34, of 33 Evelyn Ave., Raymond; Shawn E. Marcotte, 28, of 10 Epping St., Raymond; Robert McCluskey, 50, of 28 Gulf Road, Derry, and Perry Spooner, 52, of 59 N. Mast Road, Goffstown."

Supposedly grown men, most well into their 50's.............engaging in gang warfare. How cute.

Some folks just refuse to grow up.

I find the age of some of those arrested quite interesting.

When arrested, Holmes was carrying two 45-caliber rounds of ammunition, a boot knife and a canister of mace.

Lemme understand this. In NH two loose rounds of ammo is considered a weapon? Heck, 95% of the people in Texas are armed then!!

It's getting to where only those over 50 can afford a Harley, the official bike of the gangs (and wannabe Rich Urban Bikers).

[runningbear]

Yeah, and just when LEO's thought they had run them out of town....lol. I bet Oakland,Ca is breathing a heavy sigh of relief it isn't their city arising of the Angels!

[Buffalo Bob]

And while these dipsticks are busy acting as fools, REAL MEN are busy doing their duty for their Country as they fight to rid the world of terrorism.

[lavaroise]

I smell something wrong here. Too many definitions and characterisations in this article. This is brain wash bull.

[2Trievers]

Amen! Wondering how many of these clowns are Vets ... druggies ... have priors?

[AppyPappy]

I think it's one of those "last hurrah" things. Beats the nursing home.

[DancesWithTrout]

I found it odd that the author specifically identified the handgun manufacturers, twice even, yet failed to mention the make and model of the hammer, chain, lock, or the ball bat.

These are typical aging sociopaths. You will find the usual history of alcoholism, drug abuse, chronic anti-social activity, incarceration, and being on welfare.

These are the same people the DNC has a major campaign afoot to regain the right to vote (having lost this right as felons).

The theory is that most will vote Democrat.

I have no doubt that this is completely accurate since all studies indicate that bona fide career criminals overwhelmingly favor the Democrat Party.

Just like members of the media and NAMBLA!

Perhaps Harley Davidson will add leather-covered "Depends" with the Harley logo to their line of motorclothes so these aging lowlifes can wet themselves and still maintain the "bad boy" image.

[2Trievers]

I love the image of a chapter of AARP Hells Angels!

[verity]

Let them kill each other; then exterminate the survivors!

[snodog]

I find the age of some of those arrested quite interesting.I saw you highlighted the older folks. Some might even call them "middle aged", or "baby boomers". These are the same folks, that protested in the 60's.

Brokaw called thier fathers the greatest generation, and he is right.

Who will write the book, "the better generation, 1945-1955". We gave you Mia Lie, Kent State, The SLA, Blackpanthers. MLK, JFK, RFK...nobody. If there ever was a lost generation it is the Boomers. They are still grappling for identity.

Who is Al Gore, a boomer, George W Bush, Bill Clinton, Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson? Who are they? All boomers, still trying to find them selves.

Unless George W Bush is a man before his time we have another generation to go before we have men, and women of conviction that can properly lead this nation.

Say! Great idea for another reality TV show! Thanks verity!

In just a few years these 'gentlemen' will be riding wheelchairs in nurseing homes. Wonder if they will still be wearing their 'colors' and attacking each other in the hallways. Maybe they could make a movie about it. Call it 'Geriatric Hells Angels'. Or 'My Grandpa Is One Bad A**'.

“Everyone is heavily armed right now,”

including two 10-round 9mm Glock pistol magazines, a number of pocket knives, a ball-peen hammer, a chain with a lock and one with a hook, large capacity gun magazines, a folding fish knife, 50 rounds of 9mm ammunition, 10 rounds of 38-caliber ammunition, brass knuckles, baseball bats and cocaine. One of the Massachusetts men was carrying two guns, a Glock 9mm gun and a Smith & Wesson .38 revolver.

Driving up to austin last weekend, the truck had: 5" Kimber in the console between the seats w/5 mags, 4" kimber w/2 mags on driver, girlfriend had SIG 239 w/spare mag, .380 in purse, and .357 Rossi lever gun under the rear seat w/3 speed strips.

That's not really "heavily armed", just a function of A) keeping a hand gun and long gun in the truck b) driver/girlfriend having CHLs.

But if that's not really "heavily armed" then the little chains & bats & hammers don't really meet the definition either...
