Part myth, part mayhem, and all leather-clad rebellion: welcome to the shadowy world of the Hells Angels Motorcycle Club. In this week’s episode, Shane and Duncan explore the mystique and mysticism of a legendary biker gang, from the notorious riots and murders that publicly defined them to the fiercely-guarded code of honor that binds them. So grab a cup of coffee, or perhaps something stronger, and buckle up for an adrenaline-fueled ride through the turbulent history of the HAMC. ~ Support the show by becoming a Midnight Minion, Menace, or Maniac, and unlock exclusive bonus content over at PATREON Join the MFFI community and vote on episode topics via DISCORD ~ In this episode: Hells Angels: "Organized Crime Syndicate" Recent Convictions The Dutch Ban The Apostrophe Debacle Founding of the Angels Fontana, CA Otto Friedly The "Pissed Off Bastards" Frank Sadilek and The Death's Head Insignia Charters Corporate Angels Joining: "Han Around" to "Associate" to "Prospect" Top Rocker, Bottom Rocker, Full Patch One Percenters Hunter S Thompson, The Hells Angels: A Strange and Terrible Saga 81 The Culture of the Hells Angels H.A. and Race Ralph Hubert “Sonny” Barger Altamont Meredith Hunter and Alan Passaro Harrah’s Hotel and Casino, Laughlin Nevada 2002 ~ Join the Midnight Masses!
