Gangs & Patches

[El Dopa]

The patch that he wears is his way of publicly saying, "I'm a rapist, a theif and a burglar. I peddle drugs to your kids and I don't give a fuck who suffers as a result. I'm a violent thug and I earned this patch by beating the crap out of innocent people for no reason at all other than to impress other violent pricks like me".

Remember that when some fool tells you its just a club, not a gang.

The headhunters emmed to have quite a large but discreet presence at the Kumeu car show.

They were selling raffle tickets for a bike, to raise funds for 'gyms', 'kindys', 'orphanages', 'little kitten sanctuaries', etc

Excuse my naivety, but are rockers the banner type things above/below the patch that usually say the name of the gang/group/whatever?

The main gang logo goes in the middle. The upper rocker is the club name. the lower rocker is the location. E.g. 'Headhunters' (top), 'Auckland' (bottom).

Prospects are only allowed to wear the lower rocker until they become fully patched.

Wow mate, I actually had a decent opinion of you, prior to this. Gangs that peddle drugs and people who condone them deserve nothing but contempt.

Grow some balls.

As Eldopa said. Read the post more carefully. It was a piss take aimed at me cause I am going to a bike show on the 4th that is apparently run by gang members.

Do I support them and thier ideals? Fuck no. Do I want to take the oportunity to look at somewicked custom bikes? Fuck yes.

[Indoo]

Sorry man my bad, I stupidly missed the rather obvious piss take from that post. I've dealt with a few tools from that gang and missed reading comprehension 101.

[SlashWylde]

Its a shame that he made you think that way, you should be free to have whatever patch you want on your back providing its not that of an organised criminal group.

Well yes in an ideal world that might be true, but realistically some gangs are made up of some really heavy dudes who just don't think the same way other folk do. They have their own set of rules which they live by, and I don't want to mess with them. I'm not looking for trouble.

It would be good if we all wore patches - it would take the 'sting' out of gangs wearing them eh?
Nobody would take any notice of them any more.

DOES DAINESE COUNT , ME AND LOTS OF OTHERS HAVE THIS ON THE BACK OF OUR JACKETS , YEAH IM A BAD ARSE I THREW A CHEWING GUM WRAPPER OUT MY CAR WINDOW

Have been asked to remove certain names from the thread. No more gang names ok peaple.

And Jackrat, thank you very much for possibly ruining what would have been a great day enjoying my passion for bikes.

tell me that isn't the Auckland Motorcycle Show? and if it is, it's "supposedly" run by who?

[Waylander]

No, it's the Tauranga show.

No worries fella,you keep our head in the sand.
They need people like you to survive.

[SVrunner]

You did the right thing taking it off.
I have heard that the none removal of the of patch & rocker will result in removal by force.
Better to walk away with your life.

All of which begs the question of why society is prepared to put up with being exploited by these neanderthal baboons. Drug dealing, violence, rape and lots of other stuff, you say? So, why don't the cops take them out? I thought that was what we had a police force for? I'm certain the cops wouldn't object. Wouldn't be hard, give me a dozen coppers with balls, and a couple of big trucks and some RSJs and I'd chase 'em up and down the country until they were either in gaol for life or left the country.They wouldn't have time for any drug dealing or other such before the trucks burst through their walls again. So where are the soft cocks who have given the order to leave them alone?

[Goblin]

Who asked you to remove gang names??? What a crock of shit. Get some balls and put the names back

Im not a fan of gangs at all but have known a few active members that weren't drug dealers or rapists. Some so called gangs are attempting to clean their image up but no doubt there will always be the mongrels in the pack. To me a gang patch is a target,you will get put into a box by others. Pity though when someone simply wants to show their appreciation for a band though
Gangs suck,a patch is a patch

There were Cops with balls - on Waiheke Island one time a bike gang came over,the local Cop went down to the vehicular ferry wharf and told them to turn the ferry around and go back,he didn't want them on the island.This cop also did remedial therapy after hours and out of uniform with kids he thought stepped out of line,he was hugely respected,and his word was Law.

The earlier gangs,late 60s,early 70s,were a bit different than what came in the late 70s - I still have good mates from those days who lived nothing more than a riotous life style and maybe scared a few old ladies,most are well respected members of society.But there were certainly bad eggs,no doubt about it,and they helped turn the gangs into the organised criminals that they have been the last 30 yrs.
