30 outlaw bikers of the Pagans Motorcycle Club hit with federal gun and drug charges http://gangstersinc.ning.com/profil...agans-motorcycle-club-hit-with-federal-g

9 on 30 bikers have italian surnames,that is the prof that the bikers are the 21 century mob.

Feds are chasing bikers who are making money from the drugs from the cartel and obviously other stuff . The Cartel and bikers all were pushing for Biden so the drugs can flow freely across the borders .

Big fuck up with Biden getting in on so many levels regular folks have no clue how the mob and Cartel and Motorcycle clubs were pushing for Bidan the country is going to be full of zombies not just the regular city’s and the fentanyl will kill thousands..... its a drug trafficker dream let alone Russia, Ukraine, China are going to have a field day with this country.

Rip journalism.

Article one says weapons charges in headline, mentions nothing in article about weapons. Says 2 of 30 arrested are pagans.

Claims drugs used at parties at clubhouse--no fuckin way!

Article two alleges 4 of 30 were suspected pagans.

Gotta get those clicks. 2-4 pagans busted doesn't do it. If they're guilty they're guilty. The headline grabbing just gets old.

So "bikers" are now a political force on the national election scene? Get real.

I agree with a lot of the rest of your post, though. Biden is a cartels wet dream.

Lou, does 1,500 members sound right? Those se pretty massive numbers even for any of the big four...

Law enforcement is notorious for the inaccuracy,whether intentional or not, when it comes to OMG membership.I think 1500 members is a bit high. Granted,ever since Conan took over,he is expanding into other areas where the Club has not had a presence,plus they are patching ethnic street gangs who don't prospect,and in some cases buy their Colors.I would be more inclined to believe maybe ,1100 or1200 or so .The Pa#ans have always hovered around the 900 - 1,000 mark,but that was in years past. 1500 would be an average of about 36 guys in each of 41 chapters. Not saying it's impossible.I guess it depends on how you define members. If you're talking hang arounds,who get sponsored,became prospects,and earn the Patch,that's one thing. If you're talking small Clubs that are patched over or who have bought their way in,then hell,there might be 5000 members.

It's just like when the Feds bust a little neighborhood gambling operation. If they claim to have dismantled a "Mafia" operation,they get better headlines,more money from the appropriations committee,and politicians can say they're cleaning up the Mob. On a related note,not for nothing,but recreational drug use at a 1% Clubhouse is not unusual.

Yep many Italian-Americans in Pagans and Hells Angels, probably also Outlaws in Chicago.

I can't speak for any other Clubs or territories, but in my neck of the woods (the western PA area) the running joke is that there are more Italians in the Pa#ans then there are in Rome.

I agree Alice. I just can't picture any members from any of those M.C.s knocking on doors saying, "Hi, my name is ______. Can we count on your vote for Joe Biden on November 3?." Maybe they could give some senior citizens rides to the polls packing on the back of their bikes?

Good one, Fleming. I think it's funny that a lot of the 1% crowd is now themselves Sr.citizens.
I don't know about elections,but the money they spend on cops,lawyers,judges,and jurors certainly contributes to the economy.

I heard olny 3 of the pagans members got arrested... if is true, big failed from the FBI.
