Soul_Rebel, excuse me but you are so misinformed as to what went on there, it is not even funny.
Suggest you go watch the documentary Gimme Shelter, you can watch for yourself.
For those that will not view the flick, here are just some of the errors in Soul_Rebels rendition of facts.
The HA did not allege that the black guy had a knife. He had a fucking gun. He was killed by a knife. So, you got black guy with gun vs HA with knife. Not a very smart fight for the black guy.
The HA with the knife was cleared of all charges because the film footage from the movie was evidence in the court. You have to remember, the HA were maybe 30 - 40 guys, with an audience of tens of tiousands, who had all been getting high all day, and fucking with some HA bikes.
The HA never forced anyone to hire them as security. In fact, Sonny Barger (original Pres, SF Chapter, which was 1st chapter) has stated that he would love to get alone with Mick Jagger to kick his ass. Jagger was the one that brought in the HA, and then he starts acting like a pussy, not backing his boys cause some fool with a gun decided to pick the wrong time to play thug.
The HA are really some great guys, unless you fuck with them. Then you are asking for trouble. If the Banditos are trying to take over for the HA in Canada, I can assure you they will not last one winter. I would look for a more likely takeover by the Pagans, or possibly the Outlaws. The Banditos are southwest USA, TX and NM, they are not going to like Canada at all.
