Thank you. No. I am not a progressive, that is to say a social activist as the term is defined.
I gave a Henchmen a tank of gas one evening when he was broke. A week later he and 30 of his buddies came in to the station and beat a drunk who was causing a problem sending the guy to the hospital with permanent injuries.
I already mentioned the women who are chattel to them.
A couple of years ago I saw a wanna-be who road into a Hell’s Angel’s peloton and was run off the road into a guard rail, again causing permanent injury.
I also remember the exhumed graves in South Carolina to access the cadavers that Hell’s Angels have sex with as part of their initiation.
I remember the year the Angels road into Cheyenne causing havoc.
Hardly a few bad apples. These are my experiences. Hardly isolated, many bad.
You may believe and behave as you wish, at least for a while, before the progressives further reduce our freedoms. Feel free to invite them over. May I suggest having them for a holiday. Perhaps you may want to introduce them to your daughter as they are fine Americans in your book. Perhaps you may like to become acquainted with the Mongrel Mob? Surely you won’t judge this book by its cover.

I, for the moment, am free to judge a book by its cover and say no thank you to being chummy with gangs.
No one is questioning your freedom to judge according to your own discernment. You may paint with as broad a brush as will fit your bucket.
My experiences differ. I associate with those who associate with these biker filth,, and have never had to ask for repayment of money loaned.
