Called the “underside of the American dream” and “an American nightmare,” the Hell’s Angels have been fixtures in American culture since 1948. Yet their role remains unclear: are they libertines or criminals?

Right on Mark
If the Cabal gets the balls to come at us any harder than they already are , I know they will probably be the only ones fighting for the same thing as We the Awake People
I certainly don’t fear them like I do these sick fcks with all our money
I watched it, Mark. Wow, like another nation within a nation. But will we ever know the absolute truth of it?
Somebody said, “Freedom comes with responsibility.” These guys went into some of the dark arts. I want to believe they were true rebels defying the machine, yet I have suspicions about who may have been advancing them.
Was/is this an autonomous enterprise? Will we ever know?

They make good rock and roll band tour roadies, I know that much. My only complaint about Hells Angels is that some of them murdered some guy at Altamont in 1969 (I think) when the Stones played there. Supposedly, it was done very close to the stage. To this day I believe Mick Jagger could have stopped this from going on–he should have stopped performing and stopped the beating.
