Outlawing A Motorcycle Club
The government’s argument for the legality of outlawing fraternal, legal and social organizations is most frankly summarized in three documents filed in the case US v. Cavazos et al. The government is accusing the Mongols Motorcycle Club of being a “racket” and that accusation constitutes about half the proof. The other half of the proof [...]

Suave writes to ask about the legal battle over the Mongols name and patch – the collective membership marks: “Anything new Rebel?” Answer: Not really. George Steele is now representing Mongols Nation Motorcycle Club Inc. As has been the case from the very start, the government attorneys are infuriatingly stubborn. In a nutshell, the government [...]

This page apologizes for the unnecessary consternation it has caused some members of the Mongols Motorcycle Club with the posting below titled “New Battle Over Mongols Marks.” The issue has been argued before three judges and it should have been decided last July.

11. July 2010
The government war to “get” the Mongols Motorcycle Club continues to plumb the dark well into which Thomas Jefferson’s grand idea has fallen. Much of the evidence in the case is simply fabricated. From the very beginning the architects of this monstrosity, particularly ATF Special Agent John Ciccone and Assistant United States Attorney Christopher Brunwin, [...]

He wore a thick goatee without a mustache and he was so well respected by people across the political spectrum that [...]

It is Monday, June 14th and Rebel is busy right now trying to convince some people who live in New York City that he can too write books and stuff; that motorcycle outlaws are interesting, noble and misunderstood; and that the ATF is the American secret police. Amazing though it might seem, some of the [...]
