6 more Hells Angels to take plea deals in Vegas

Things have been challenging for the HA in the last few years, first they get hit with ATF sting in Arizona (which typically, the ATF botched on prosecution), then their San Francisco chapter president gets killed on their home turf by a Mongol, then their San Jose chapter president dies in a casino shoot-out with Vagos in Sparks, Nevada (Reno).

For the major one percenter clubs,this stuff is routine and I would even say mildly annoying at best. The Angels are a multi national criminal cartel with thousands of members and revenue in the hundreds of millions,maybe even in excess of a billion.

The problem for Law Enforcement has always been trying to prove that the actions of members are done with the knowledge of,or on orders of, the Clubs leaders.

The Feds will never pin a RICO charge on any of the big clubs,so all they can really do is potshot a case here and there,keep applying for funding,and sell newspapers.

The Angels do their time and keep their mouth shut better than anyone.

I own a Harley and see plenty HA's here in AZ at runs, events, toy drives, etc...They have 4 chapters in AZ and keep to themselves for the most part while at these events.

AZ is a closed state and no others clubs can open or operate without their approval. The clubs that they approve are not 1% clubs and theystill need to pay/show tribute to the HA's.

I had some pals that were Air Force guys and started a small club with 6-8 guys in it, two of the guys were out riding in their vests and ran across some HA's and had their vest "confiscated". they had to show up at the club house and ask for permission to form their little group for retired AF guys...Crazy...
