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, cynically intended to hide all the lies in a great forest of lies, as the best place to hide a leaf is in a forest.
The Mongols case was intentionally complicated by splitting it into multiple cases. The main case, US versus Cavazos et al., is complicated by more than 10,000 pages of unsealed court filings, more than 10,000 pages of printed discovery and hundreds of CDs and DVDs of electronic surveillance. It is virtually a full time job to comprehend most of it. It is safe to say that no defense attorney knows all of it. So no judge has seen more than a sample of it. And, the samples shown to the judges have been misleading.
What is Truth
The Mongols case, even the timid and reporter-shy Brunwin and Ciccone would probably agree, has never been an exploration in search of the truth. It has always been an exercise in editing – as any reality television show is always an exercise in editing. No season of Survivor, for example, is ever a documentary about what happened. Reality television never tries to tell the truth. Reality television uses thousands of hours raw footage to try to make a lie look like the truth. Reality television, like this case, is a rigged game.
The television program Gangland, produced by a timid and reporter-shy corporation named Gangland LLC in Chicago, might not even be possible without the enthusiastic cooperation of ATF Assistant Director W. Larry Ford. Ford aspires to be a producer himself someday. Gangland claims to be journalism. In a case titled Tennessee versus Gutierrez the show has refused to turn outtakes over to prosecutors on grounds of journalistic privilege. Gangland LLC has made a very loud and brave show of this.
But multiple Mongols were subject to various degrees of coercion by producers and by ATF Agents to appear in the Gangland episodes “Mongols’ Nation” and “Biker Wars 2.” In fact, three undercover ATF Agents, Darrin “Dirty Dan” Koslowski, Greg “Russo” Giaoni and Paul “Painter” D’Angelo put the idea of appearing on Gangland in Cavazos’ head in the first place.
Why Did Doc Sniff So Much
Cavazos might not have agreed except, according to sources, he was already enfeebled by an endless line of cocaine, regularly replenished by Giaoni and D’Angelo who became famous in the club for the voraciousness of their own appetites. And last month, outtakes from the Mongols Nation episode of Gangland were very quietly introduced into evidence in the Mongols case yet again. They were an edited disk of broadcast and un-broadcast footage. The DVD met the classic definition of propaganda, which is “specific information released to accomplish a specific purpose.” Out of all of the fifty or so reams of documents and two giant binders of CDs and DVDs connected to the case, this is the evidence which a judge is allowed by the prosecutors to see.
The case is a wonder of wonders. The exaggerations, fabrications and other lies in the ATF Reports of Investigation never rise to the level of perjury because they are never actually presented as evidence to a judge or a jury. No one ever compares those reports to their substantiating electronic surveillance so no one ever has the lies made apparent to him. Apparently, the only people who ever looked at the videos were the grand jurors who brought the indictment. And, the transcripts of those grand jury sessions remain sealed so it is impossible to tell. But in many cases those jurors were probably not told that the actual, obvious villains in those staged scenes were ATF Agents and paid informants. The real Mongols were the ones looking annoyed and embarrassed.
One Giant Entrapment
All of Operation Black Rain was conceived to be one giant entrapment. From the start it was a criminal conspiracy by what may someday be called “rogue elements in the Department of Justice.” It has been going on for more than five years and what is truly breathtaking is that the case still hasn’t hit bottom.
The point of the Black Rain criminal conspiracy was always to outlaw a major motorcycle club so as to blueprint a strategy for outlawing all motorcycle clubs. The logical end of this will be the eventual outlawing of politics, religion and art. The depraved bureaucrats who administer punishment in this country have started with motorcycle clubs because, as anyone who has been watching can clearly see, these fools crave glory even more than power. What all these liars, cowards and cheats dream is to be applauded as mythic heroes. So first thing. they needed to find themselves some mythic villains. Which is where the Mongols unwittingly entered the play.
Doc Cavazos’ weaknesses made the Mongols the most vulnerable of all the famous clubs. The ATF had already infiltrated the Mongols once so the Bureau did not have to learn everything from the start as they might have had to do with, say, the Bandidos. The Mongols were right in John Ciccone’s backyard. And, more than anyone it seems to be the timid and nasty Ciccone who dreams of being a hero.
Forced Confessions
The Mongols prosecution has had two preeminent goals: The first was to “prove” that the Mongols Motorcycle Club is a criminal racket, like the Cali Cartel, and the second has been to make possession of Mongols paraphernalia and insignia a de facto crime. Ciccone and Brunwin have stuck to those goals as obsessively as an autistic savant and they have been rewarded with what they can now claim to be total success.
Brunwin goes about bragging shamelessly that at least seventy Mongols “have entered guilty pleas to Count One of the indictment. As those pleas amply demonstrate, the defendants in this case are (or were, during the relevant period) members of an organization that for decades engaged in, among other things, murder, conspiracy to commit murder, attempted murder, assault, conspiracy to traffic in narcotics, narcotics-trafficking, robbery, extortion, money laundering, and witness intimidation.”
All of these confessions were coerced by Orwellian means. Some defendants might have really done what they were accused of doing but typically they were entrapped into committing an actual crime or just as often they were entrapped into the appearance of a crime. They were secretly indicted and then they were immediately punished. They were punished with grotesque public shaming, the seizure and destruction of their property and their relatives property and their friends property, the wrecking of their homes, the loss of their jobs, the ruination of their reputations and the terrorization of their wives, children, parents and friends. None of this punishment was at all incidental to the administration of justice. It was cynically and self-righteously calculated to be punishment. Then most of these presumably innocent men were confronted by Special Agent Ciccone, hiding from the television cameras before which they had just been paraded, asking “You want to talk to me?” Then all these accused got their initial court appearances.
Most of the accused were denied adequate council. Typically, the public defenders told their clients, “You’re a member of the Mongols motorcycle gang. What do you expect?” Everyday in every way the defendants were told they would never get a fair trial. Brunwin and other prosecutors cynically sealed parts of the case to try to unnerve as many defendants as possible. Eventually these condemned men were pressured into taking a deal. The deal was either confess to racketeering and be punished for something less or tell the truth and be sentenced for racketeering. So everybody except Hector Gonzalez, Jr., who was briefly President of the club, took the deal.
Then, having confessed, they were punished again. Sometimes the punishment was only the punishment they had already received and sometimes it was years more in prison. In most cases, the punishment included the indignity of supervised probation. In all these cases Brunwin got the “proof” he could not have otherwise obtained.
Of course the Mongols are a criminal racket! They have to be! They all confessed to me!
Making Symbols A Crime
Brunwin and Ciccone’s second goal, to make possession of Mongols symbols a de facto crime will enter a new phase this week. Criminalizing the Mongols patch provides more shortcuts around the Constitution and the issue should have been settled a year ago when the late Judge Florence-Marie Cooper ruled that symbols peculiar to the Mongols were “collective membership marks” and as such they were “protected speech” as the Christian cross is protected speech. But then Judge Cooper died so Brunwin raised the issue again with a new judge, Otis Wright II. The evidence the government showed this judge included the re-edited Gangland footage. And this time Brunwin won.
Former Mongols President Ruben “Doc” Cavazos trademarked the Mongols insignia in the name of a corporation he owned. Cavazos agreed to his own plea deal in January, 2009. Most of that deal remains secret because Brunwin enjoys the strategic advantage of official secrets. What is known about the deal is that Cavazos confessed that the Mongols is a criminal racket and he agreed that he owns the Mongols trademarks and that he would forfeit them to the government.
That part of that plea deal should have been obviated because at the time he made the deal Cavazos had no rights to the marks. He never had rights to the marks he trademarked. His trademark was invalid. Unfortunately, Judge Wright seems not to have a subtle mind.
Brunwin and his running dog, Frank D. Kortum of the Asset Forfeiture Division of the US Attorney’s Office, told Judge Wright, in essence, that Cavazos did not have to own the Mongols patch to forfeit it and Wright agreed. On June 15, Wright ordered that, “All right, title, and interest of RUBEN CAVAZOS in the Forfeitable Marks (the Mongols name and patch) is hereby forfeited to the United States.”
It would be a very minor bit of legal housekeeping except that the Judge then describes the Mongols patch and name as the marks to be seized and authorizes the search for and seizure of these marks. Taken to its logical absurdity, the order now once more authorizes the confiscation of Mongols patches on sight.
Judge Wright’s order also instructs “The United States…to the extent practicable, provide written notice to any person known to have an alleged interest in the Forfeitable Property.” The ruling would have required the prosecutors to formally notify the Mongols Motorcycle Club of the ruling and allows the club until Thursday, July 15th to contest the government’s ownership claim.
Nothing should change between now and this Friday. Probably nothing will change. But if something does change it will be because once again the government has cheated.

Fortify NOW! Clean up your clubs of anyone not 100%, CAREFULLY choose your prospects, get legal to talk to your members on a regular basis,ENFORCE security,Unify.
We have savvy people out there, guys that can run circles around idiots like Ciccone. USE ‘em.

I support the Mongols from the point of keeping thier patch but Doc a the N. Prez. come on in his own words he did not prospect but patched right away. Then he was made an officer before the bi-laws said he was able and after Lafton he was made N. pres. Queen was voted down as a patch by Red Dogs the N.Sgt-at-Arms but was over ridden. Then after Queen they patched 3 (?) more ATF agents?
The lesson here for all clubs is FOLLOW THE FUCKEN BY-LAWS thier there for a reason. Get smart guys were the last free Americas left and the goverment is looking to tear us down.

Very good article Rbele, glad you wrote it because the mainstream press has nothing I could find on the judge’s decision regarding the Mongols trademark.
I don’t understand all the intricacies but I thought the matter was handled as I am sure a lot of people did.
There really does seem little to gain besides “chest thumping” in pursuing the confiscation of the trademark. All indications are the Mongols are stronger, better and smarter than ever so what’s the fucking point?

Look i know everybody here is in strong support of our club.That’s great with love and respect to you all.Remember we are still gonna keep fighting for the rights to exist of our’s and ALL clubs.What we will not do is lay down to these a–holes.The only way we can continue to motor on is if we get the support from those that really believe in the MONGOL NATION.We have a defense fund on our website.The fund is not a effin scam,this is a real expensive legal fight and we have to try our best with every resource available to protect our rights and yours.The country is going to s–t!The goverment don’t care about destroying the live’s of the american people and most of all taking away our civil liberties.Power and control is what they are all about now.And it’s coming to every mc club,elk’s club,va club and probably a yoga club(which i’m sure the atf are member’s of).So if you can help cool.Appreciate the time Rebel in what you do in writing and researching for the story and the truth on all this.MONGOL ON TO ALL MY BROTHER’S!MFFM!
July 12th, 2010 at 1:40 pm
Dear Lumps,
Yeah. The issue should have been settled last July. The problem is Judge Wright ruled that the government can seize Doc Cavazos ownership of the Mongols indicia. Which makes ambiguous something that should be clear cut. Doc has no ownership of the indicia to forfeit. So what is the government intending to seize? Why doesn’t the government get Judge Wright to rule that Doc is forfeiting his ownership of the moon? The next time John Ciccone gets a speeding ticket, why doesn’t he get out of it by forfeiting his rights to the Smithsonian Institution? Probably nothing will change. But the government has been just pulling this case out of its ass for years. Who knows what they will find next?

There are still sentences scheduled for September. Trouble Turner from Oxnard was sentenced last week. I believe he got 48 months. He was entrapped by the way. ATF Agent Greg Giaoni got a tattoo from Turner accross his chest. It reads “Dirty White Boy.” I tell you that just in case you see that tattoo. Turner spotted Koslowski from his photo in Billy Queen’s book before that guy patched. Little Rubes told him to forget about it. Just so you know. Then Turner was entrapped. It was actual and sentence entrapment. And, then at his sentencing, Brunwin lied to Judge Wright about Turner’s probation report. Just so you know.
A lot of guys got screwed in this case. I have trouble keeping track of them all. But Turner was a guy who was absolutely, positively entrapped by a CI named TJ Stansbury and by Giaoni. And Turner is a pretty likable guy. So I kept track of him.

As much as I hate to admit it, we have lost this country. My family has fought for this country since the Revolution and up to and including Iraq and Afganistan, but the ideal they thought they and I were protecting no longer exists. We have traded the chains of a monarchy for the chains of a socialist society led by a political class instead of a royal class, different name but the same type of masters. Justice is now an abstract ideal no longer a practical one. Don’t like the ruling by one judge, just shop around till you find one who doesn’t ask too many questions and get him/her to rule in your favor (NOTE: This only applies to the government, we have no such luxury.) Feds don’t like you or your group they fabricate a case against you and judge shop for one most compliant with their wishes and you go to jail, or lose much treasure and time. Just my opinion but I think one of the reasons the feds chose the Mongols and Pagan’s this time was they knew these clubs don’t have the deep pockets of the HA and would not be able to hire the caliber of legal representation that shot down the BATF case in Arizona. Many here have expressed ways we can minimize our exposure to the new gestapo, and we should take them to heart, know your hangarounds, check out your prospects and if you deciede to to something illegal, it’s on you, keep it away from the club. Further we should follow the advice of Proud 1% and dig down and find a way to give some financial support to the Mongols MC and the Pagan’s MC while they do battle with the federal monstrosity, intentionally or not they are fighting for us all. My last thought is that we may be rushing headlong to the next revolution, just the opinion of another serf!

This case is a mirror of the one against the Pagan’s. Sounds like the very same script down to the Nat’l VP here putting the trademark in his name and also using it for his benefit by giving it to the Feds.

Dear Suave,
You know, it has been two fucking years, man. The case is top secret because it was dirty. I asked real polite for a real long time for the ATF and the DOJ to pretty please tell me their side. I tried privately. I tried officially. They refused. They were real fucking rude about it, too. They are all morons. Brunwin is a nitwit. Ciccone is an idiot. Torres, Mangan, Carr…none of them get it. I thought maybe one of them would be smart enough to try to kick the shit back upstairs. But no. They have all remained silent and refused to answer any questions. Which is great if you are trying to beat a criminal charge. But when you do that to a reporter, even a lousy one, especially a lousy one, it is just like waving a big sign in his face that says, “This way to the free scotch and the free big shrimp!” Which is how I came to put so much time into this Mongols story. You know? You’re looking for a story, you hear sirens, you smell smoke, you look out the window, you try to find a fireman to interview. When you see all the fireman standing there with molotov cocktails in both hands it is kind of hard to ignore. Especially when they all go, “What molotov cocktails?” So you write about that.
These justice guys all seem to have the delusion that before I can report what I know they did I have to be able to prove what they did beyond a reasonable doubt to people who are too stupid to get out of jury duty. The ATF, institutionally, has a very 1950s, Eastern European comprehension of the people’s right to know. But it just doesn’t work that way in America. In America everything is free and open so when a government official says “that’s a secret” that is an answer. And the really obvious follow up questions are: Why is that a secret? Who says that is a secret? And is this secrecy in the people’s interests or in some government employee’s interest? So then the next thing is, if this guy won’t tell me who, what, where when, how and why the secrets I find somebody else who will. Maybe that other person will give me a different answer but, in the court of public opinion any answer is better than none. Right? A kid could do this shit. I mean, even Tony fucking Hayward of Bee fucking Pee knows that a bullshit answer is better than “I can’t hear you!” Well, as it turns out the ATF doesn’t know that. The ATF thinks this is Cuba.
When secret government agents behave unethically, the people have a right to know. When government prosecutors behave unethically the people and their legal peers have a right to know. When secret government agents commit crimes that range from obstruction of justice through accessory to and misprision of numerous felonies including drug distribution and up to and including accessory to murder the people have a right to know. When the government spends $150 million producing a reality television show called “Let’s Get The Mongols” instead of trying to save Louisiana, the people have a right to know. When the ATF tries to corrupt the press into becoming a de facto secret police agency, the people have a right to know. When the Department of Justice fundamentally corrupts the criminal justice process because a bunch of dill weeds in shit colored suits think it will be great for their careers, the people have the right to know.
The various ATF Agents, local cops and lawyers who devised and implemented this Mongolian clusterfuck can probably avoid prison if they continue to stay silent. But, the people still have a right to know. And, I haven’t said anything yet. All I have said so far is about every tenth word of what I know. I am saving the good stuff.
Personally, I think the FBI should investigate what happened during Operation Black Rain. The FBI can get subpoenas. Unfortunately I can’t. I can only prove that there is smoke and heat. The ATF thinks that means I can’t say there is a fire. This is America. I can say anything I want.

Dear Rebel,
I agree. Historically, in a country where once the laws applied equally to all(cops & the accused)the pen has been mightier than the sword. Yet, a good deal of history drips with the blood of those whom the pen failed to slay, and rightfully so.
The Mongols’ trademark case may very well represent one of the most significant & fraudulent cases in history, perpetrated by the U.S. Department of “Justice.”
The pen is mightier than the sword when read, debated, respected, digested and given honest & honorable weight by persons respectable and honorable enough to do the right & just thing no matter their personal feelings-likes or dislikes.
Those ever-so-delicate qualities don’t seem to live within the hearts and minds of today’s DOJ employees.
Maybe I’m just too much of a Hollywood movie disciple. But even on the school yard when the intellectual nerdy types talked circles around someone, when they were able to write a great sounding complaint-even when they knew they were lying- a good old smashing of the face always seemed to put a stop to the bullshit.
Maybe I’ve just watched too many viking movies and the like, or smashed one too many lying nerdy type faces to be as unattached as I expect the DOJ employees to be in the instant case.

Rebel- that last right to know bit there, this is the problem. It seems now that virtually every government entity, official, individual, whatever, as soon as serious, and many times potentially incriminating questions begin to get asked, they turn secretive, and usually also nasty, offensive, abusive and stupider and stupider if the pressure continues. The problem is, they have a BUNCH of people all doing the same thing, supposedly in the name of “justice.” Then when someone (such as yourself) with a brain says “Hey EVERYONE, this shit doesn’t pass even the most basic sniff test” they suddenly become DEAF AND BLIND to the crimes being so blatantly committed all around them. THIS IS BULLSHIT AND IT HAS TO STOP. This is exactly what I have been saying about my husband’s murder. I smelled a rat, I saw the rat, I chased him down, took pictures of him, and even got him to write down some rat shit of his own and I collected it and HANDED IT TO THE POWERS THAT ARE SUPPOSED TO KILL THE F-ING RATS WHO CALL THEMSELVES “GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS” and all I got in return was a MURDERED HUSBAND. Like RVN 69, I am also afraid we have lost this country. But I do have to say one thing, and that is, COME ON GUYS, you guys, you big supposedly scary men who I have ALWAYS KNOWN are the last true, free, NOT SCARED and FULL OF HEART AMERICANS, quit falling for the government fabricated BULLSHIT and GET TOGETHER. Go above and beyond the COC, which is a great thing but doesn’t go far enough, and start TALKING AMONGST YOURSELVES, SHARING INTELLIGENCE, SHARING AND COMPAIRING LEGAL BRIEFS, AND MAKE YOUR ATTORNEYS TALK TO EACH OTHER TOO!!! I mean if this shit continues, there will be a revolution. Because believe me, it is NOT just in the “outlaw biker – 1%er” world that this is happening. The time is RIPE to stand up to these THEIVING, LYING, CHEATING, DESPICABLE FUCKS who are trying to justify their own salaries by CREATING CRIMES WHERE THERE ARE NONE, AND IGNORING CRIMES COMMITTED OR FURTHERED BY THEM AND THEIR OWN. I think this is a unique time where the general public is more likely than ever to actually understand where outlaws are coming from, and why there has been a soft spot in all american’s hearts for the bad boys who have stood up against bullshit in America since the country was formed. Take advantage of it, and lets try to get this country back before its gone completely.

Miss Krista, you’re right. “They” do, capitalize on The Club’s lack of communication between themselves. However, they capitalize on them talking openly over their phones, chatting on their computers and anywhere else that can be surveiled. But, communication has to be made, period. Or, the American Biker (Sometimes, Freedom Fighter) as we know him will become extinct. (Some of us, just aren’t up to going back to riding our Honda 305′s, wearing our penny loafers with our plaid shirts and kakhi slacks, giving the peace sign, because we believed in Brotherhood, instead of war. Though, many of us have the same attitude we did back then. We just look different now with our grey beards, wearing leathers, and riding Harleys. And, may belong to one riding organization or another. And of course, that was before we lost our innocence, after realizing our government we were so-programmed to love, was absolutely corrupt). Now, outta my daydream and back to my point. This technique was used long ago in the early days against the Native Indians. The Natives had to band together to survive. Regardless, if they liked each other at first or not. And, over time the Tribes realized they can all live together in peace.
Now, for the Crimes Committed by LE. I think, this is why we need a LE Agency that is Above and Beyond all others. Like, the FBI. And, they must be held to a higher standand and be accountable to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. President, and the U.S. Supreme Court. And of course, the U.S. People. It has to be that way. Or, you have anarchy and chaos from the top…down. And, that is another thing they capitalize on, right now. Confusion! “Well, we don’t know who’s in charge. We don’t know, if we are breaking any laws or not (By killing innocent people in their homes in the middle of the night). So, we’re just going to keep doing what we’re doing until someone tells us to stop”. So, I’m telling them now. STOP!

thanks Nookster glad someone does and is willing to admit it! lol some of the things I’ve been hearing from EVERYONE lately have me pretty shocked and disappointed. Seriously if people weren’t so afraid I’m sure things would be different…hope it’s not too late…

Miss Krista,
Sorry for your loss. You are right, we do need to share info and combine our strengths against the government, I just hope we are not too prideful to listen. My resigned belief is that the monstrosity that is the Federal Government has gotten so big and powerful that nothing short of a bloody revolution will change it, and even that is no quarantee, remember the outcome of our last American Revolution or as it is called here the war of Northern agression. Over 600,000 dead and a federal government that was more powerful not less. The powerful rarely police themselves and I believe we have lost the ability to do so without blood. The ruling political class both Democrat and Republican tell what we want to hear to get elected then do as they wish to enrich themselves, 47% of the american public either pays no taxes or recieves some type of federal assistance, once we reach the tipping point of 51% there will be no controls on our rulers. The majority will not vote against their masters while the masters control the purse strings and we will be left with only one option that is bloody, violent and not likely to succede. Didn’t mean to get involved in a pessimistic political rant, but if we don’t control the government, we will never control the government’s agents.
Si vis Pacem, Para Bellum.

Rebel can you get my name off your hells angel news site?you and some other cowards used it on a story about Jay dobns.
You don’t like me because I beat on and piss all over USA hells angels that are known for harming raping molesting and murdering women and children all over the USA. I don’t like to argue on forums like yours that seem to be hells angel controlled. I like freedom of the press and freedom of comments.
Let those pathetic foul filthy fairies TCB for themselves.
thank you.I fight everyone that wants to fight .

Dear Gusto,
It is not so much about adjudicating the truthfulness of any particular charge or set of charges. I believe it is about some government employees choosing for their career to “get the Mongols” and “get motorcycle clubs.” On January 23, 2009, at about 2:15 in the afternoon, former Mongols President Reuben “Doc” Cavazos agreed “to cooperate fully with the United States Attorney’s Office; the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives; and other Federal or law enforcement agency; to answer their questions, to attend meetings, cooperate and assist them.” I thought the man ran out of things to say about a year ago. Maybe not. The case will not be over until the lead defendant in US v. Cavazos et al. is sentenced. He will not be sentenced until he is done cooperating. He has not been sentenced yet. Off the top of my head, this is the only time the President of a major, one percenter motorcycle club has turned states evidence. Barger went to prison. Bowman went to prison. Chambers went to prison. Wegers went to prison. Redmond went to prison. So the Mongols case is sort of uncharted territory here.
The most breathtaking thing about the Mongols case is how much of it remains secret.

HATF, Rebel presented the facts around the Dave Burgess case at a high level of detail…its all here on the site. Argue facts, not emotions. Burgess appears to have very likely been set up when you look at the facts.

Fuck off an go back to hiding behind your keyboard you fucking midget.

HATF:
Anyone taking the time to look into the Dave Burgess case, and I mean really look into it, will clearly see the Wyoming State police & U.S. Government agents setting up & planting the “evidence” on Burgess.
That is assuming you can read English and possess the ability to think for yourself, applying a little critical thinking.
If you are of the opinion Mr. Burgess is guilty, you clearly have not read the case (ALL OF IT) yourself or you’re simply one of those poor souls that believes everything cops say.
Burgess was set up & the “evidence” was planted by scum bags posing as law enforcement professionals.
NOTHING you say will ever change those facts.
Cops that set people up & plant evidence should be hanged in public on national TV on Friday evenings, so as to get everyone’s weekend off to a good start!

This who RICO case has been facinating and disgusting. It disgusts me what has become of a once righteous club and how far the federal government will go with their abuse of authority. The Mongols today are just a bunch of posers and have gotten so weak they can’t even shut down an unauthorized rogue Canadian chapter or stop them from using their name and logo. Even worse than not being able to take care of business, they have gotten into a tit for tat Internet squabble on each ofthers guestbooks like a couple of 13 year old girls. Some 1%era they are, it’s just so pathetic and sad! Hey, at least they still have their patch for now.
