The old saying “you don’t see any OLD gangbangers or OLD 1%’s” because they are either dead or in jail. So it’s good to see Mel and George talk about it but they don’t try to glamorize it in any way. To see men that have seen ALOT talk about their faith is awesome

When my uncle Jimmy Souza passed away my mom said even his enemies showed up at his funeral to pay respect, reminds me of this guy. My uncle was the president of the san francisco chapter back then but he still managed to show up at my school talent shows and functions like that. I had no idea how respected he was till I saw the pic of the motorcycles on the road for as far as the eyes could see for his funeral on the front page of the newspaper. Not too many solid ones like these guys in those ranks.

I could of been a member, but I chose a different path. “rip Dad 🙏🏻” On another note, the Hells Angels were not ones to play with…These viewers are sleeping on this podcast.
