    • This... is one really good aspect of all this. The fact that once in a while, within the multitude of comments from drooling wannabe fans, someone who has been caught up in the sh... is able to find their way out just from seeing others who've managed to do it. The toughest part of jumping into sh... is climbing back out. ... and your mouth is open the entire time too...

  • This happened in the 60's. I was young and driving an old beater late one night and my car died but had enough momentum to coast into a gas station. I noticed a guy on a motorcycled at the pump in front of me...but I did not take notice of what he was wearing. Back then they had gas station attendants who would service your car on the spot....and my car was smoking indicating it needed attention. The station attendant was in the station (I could see him) but did NOT come out. I figured he was busy with something and would come out as soon as he was through and I had no choice but to wait since my car would not start. After a while, I noticed that the jacket on the man on the motorcycles said "Hell's Angels." Then I realized that was why the attendant did not come out. The Hell's Angels guy got off his bike and came back to my car and tapped on my window. I rolled it down a crack. He said, "I see your having trouble with your car." I said "Yes, it just died." He told me to wait until it cooled down and he would get it started. I did what he said. He pushed my car to the side and waited until the car cooled down. Then he filled the radiator, suggested that I get anti-freeze for it, and told me to try to start it. The car turned over and began to chug again. I thanked him profusely and offered to pay him. He smiled and refused the money and got me on my way. I know the Hell's Angels are tough guys...but they have their moments and I was glad when one of them was around!

  • True story about a Hells Angels encounter... I'm British with Italian heritage on my father side, as a consequence I really got into the old classic Italian Scooters and the smart "mod" way of dressing. Back in the 90's when I was a teenager, a group of us teens were going to a scooter rally on the South Coast of England, which involved a long ride down there on our little scooters. Now vintage scooters don't go very fast, and whilst we were in the slow lane on a motorway (3 lane highway), a bunch of 15-20 guys on sports bikes, all dressed like Power Rangers thought it would be funny to come and take the p*ss out of our little scooters. They were riding inches away from us, giving us the bird & hand-job signals and generally being intimidating. Next thing, we heard the unmistakable thrum of Harleys and turned round to see 5 patched up Hells Angels ride up from behind and then in amongst the group of sports bikes. We thought we were gonna get our heads kicked in, but it was the opposite. The Hells Angels basically got the Power Rangers to f*ck off, then rode with us (at our speed) to where we exited the motorway and gave us the thumbs up as we waved them goodbye. The HA and us scooter kids looked the complete antithisis of each other, however, I like to think it was a shared love of our respective two wheel machines and the open road that made them to do what they did. They didn't have to take the time out to watch our backs and I've had immense respect to them to this very day.

    • I had a Vespa 250. Reed valve converersion that sounded like a KX 250 2 stroke. I was invited to a Christmas parade toy drive with the Mongols in Oklahoma. I went to the Chapter leaders shop, and he collected Harly scooters. You never know. They were cool with me even though I was on a Vespa. Mongols motorcycle shop was 50 yards from where I worked at the time. They loved that scooter. They let me know if I had a problem with someone, let them know. I never had a problem because I knew sh*t wouldn't end well.

The officers were giving him a hard time bringing his personal belongings out and I was given a call and asked some questions about what he was capable of. He is a class act and although we never met face to face, I was happy to help out in a small way smoothing things out.

  • Remember he came to the school i graduated from,on many occasions. He was at my graduation and he was randomly pictured in one of my graduation photos when i was walking off of the stage. At the time, I didn't know him,or cared to know him, he was just a random guy at the time (in my eyes). Graduated from NHS. We have a movie/documentary that made it to IMDb called "Love Goes Public". About 2 years after i graduated high school (i graduated in 2014), i realized how big he was and who he were. To this day i can't believe he came to the school i graduated from on (many) occasions. NHS was like a performing arts schools disguised as a public school. We had campus for life, we went on trips for free, every Friday, we got tickets to Auburn games for free. At the time,our principal son played for Auburn university with Cam Newton,then they went to the NFL. Our principal would always get her son to bring the Auburn stars to our school and set up basketball games with them. We also played grade vs grade basketball,6th vs 7th grader, 8th vs 9th you get the point.We had people that was currently during life in prison come up to the school and talk with us, (supervised of course). Looking back, I realized i didn't soak up everything I could've have and how special the school is that i graduated from. Michael told the entrie school so many stories in the auditorium. He had the entire school locked into his grasp.Idk if it was because the things he did, and witnessed but the teachers and students was in awe. To this day, i still don't know how my school got him to come speak and hang around with us, even came to our graduation in 2014. One day (a few years after highschool), i seen a video of him and my mouth dropped,i was thinking to myself (THAT'S THE GUY!!!!!)This video had over a million views i think. It was then, when i realized who he was, how big he was and couldn't believe he came to our school on many occasions and he came to our graduation in 2014. I regret not knowing who he was at the time and the "Mafia" was irrelevant to me, but I was slightly familiar with it. I know he's not the biggest known celebrity in the world, but it was an honor to meet him. He done terrible things he's not proud of , but he's a changed man and i wish i can meet him through as an adult eyes.So many questions I could've asked. Who he is on video is exactly the same man that came to our school about 10 years ago. He's a good guy, i wish i knew how my school pulled this off, he's a great pubic speaker and he's good with children and teenagers .I hope God keep on blessing this man .

  • I think it's valuable when people like Michael point out the flaws with the justice system, and how there are people who feel the need to break the law in order to uphold the law, they feel the need to weaponize the system to go after people they don't like. It's quite revealing when even former members of the mafia can recognize the mafia-like enterprise that plagues our country today. But for us Christian men it should come as no surprise, you can't change human nature, but what you can do is accept responsibility over your own life, and model yourself after somebody who is free of these flaws.

He had become a chief for them. He would come home every few months, while he was here and "active" he wouldn't speak about the stuff he did. later on when he fully moved back he would talk lightly about what his crew did without details and sayin "allegedly" a lot. also didn't allow phones to be on in his house. you had to cut them off and leave them outside in a waterproof box.

  • My favorite thing about Michael is that, even though he and I are on opposite ends of the political spectrum, I feel like we could have an honest and open discussion about it and both of us walk away satisfied that our views are more rounded than they were before we talked. He's of the same opinion of me where, even if I don't agree with what the other person is saying, there is still something to learn from hearing the opposite perspective. I'd love to sit down and have a beer with him, he seems like a real stand-up guy who wants to do what he believes in his heart is right

  • This is amazing! I read George Christie's book during the pandemic and I couldn't put it down. I love his quote on what an outlaw is. He doesn't define an outlaw as a criminal but as someone who goes against the norm of society. This can be for instance someone who instead of going to university to become a doctor like his or her parents tell them to, this person decides to create their own path and become an entrepreneur. A lot of people are outlaws these days even good people who should to all of us be the norm but to many it isn't. Jordan Peterson I would say is an outlaw. Marcus Aurelius was an outlaw. Hell, Jackie Robinson when he was fighting to prove that African Americans can play baseball just as good as all the white people in the sport was an outlaw in his time. That perspective on what an outlaw is woke me up to what the people I grew up with including myself are in some or many ways. Also highly recommend the book to anyone it's called, "Exile on Front Street". Picked up the book to reread the quote and now I feel like reading the whole book again! It's that good.

  • When a corporation doesn’t pay taxes it’s called a tax break, when a gangster doesn’t pay taxes it’s called tax evasion. -Nobody Important

    @nobodyimportant4171@nobodyimportant41712 ай бұрын
    • I like this quote but it's not as black and white as you put it. In a world where those corporations aren't being used to the benefit of the government and society, I'd say yeah that shows hypocrisy. However, it's not as simple as that since the government is collecting from corporations that it can interact with more so than the mafia for instance in the shadows. I'm probably going to get a lot of hate for this but here's my opinion of the nuance between a corporation and a criminal organization: The oil/gas corporations who provide a service to the nation by providing a valued commodity are benefitting the nation economically in areas that outweigh any tax break they might receive. Now an example from organized crime not paying taxes: they earn money through extortion, skimming profits from legitimate businesses, and worse. I'm not even including the more dramatic methods of profits such as drugs/prostitution. Can you not see the difference between the value that both contribute to society as a whole and why a tax break and tax evasion from illicit activities are not even in the same neighborhood of eachother in terms of relevance.

    • @@Quickshottedyou are correct. A tax break is when the company is going to create hundreds plus jobs. For example a few years ago, Amazon was going to open a factory in New York, creating 25,000 jobs. So the state and city offered them tax breaks as an incentive to come to New York. That’s how every state , government works. All the way down to the local city council. It’s not a tax break for ever. It’s typically for a couple years. This helps the company to build the factory and hire employees, before they have to pay a large tax. Corporations and large companies pay lots of tax. The left are delusional when they claim, Elon, or Jef, doesn’t pay taxes. Elon, paid 5 billion in taxes. They have loopholes that help with not paying 💯 of their tax. That’s the same benefits all businesses have. Id tomorrow you open a donut shop. You get to right items off your taxes, that your neighbor that works a job doesn’t. If that wasn’t the case no one could afford to start a business. Amazon, didn’t open the factory, because AOC, made people protest. They went to another state and New York citizens didn’t get the 25,000 jobs. Michael, was actually taking money meant for tax purposes and using it for their group. It would be similar if you didn’t pay state taxes. His businesses brought in money to launder, and found away to profit of the tax meant for the state. That’s if I understood what he was describing in the video. People that cry about corporations or wealthy people getting tax breaks has no clue about economics, or owning a business. Without companies like Amazon, Tesla, google, Apple, etc. hundreds of millions of people would be unemployed.
