Hells Angels Full Patch Logo

Phases of Membership.

Gangs have existed for a long time as the earliest American gangs were emerging out of the East coast in 1783 following the American revolution. Chicago had over 1000 gangs in the 1920's, and today in America there are estimated to be over 35000 gangs comprising 1.4 million street prison and outlaw gang members, Prisons are overloaded with gang members as a 2011 study found there to be over 230000 members in jails all over America. Even the UK has over 1800 operating Gangs with four Italian gangs operating in the USA with over 25000 members. Worrying as it seems gangs make most of there money from drug trafficking robbery and extortion and kidnapping.

The Hells Angels are a group of outlaw bikers that ride Harley Davidsons and Chopper bikes. It is an organised group with a President Vice president, Treasurer, Secretary, Road Captain and Sergeant at arms. To become a member an interested individual will have to complete several stages to become a full member. This will entail friend of the club ,hang around and prospect A member cannot wear the full logo until they have been fully accepted . A full induction will occur whereby the member will swear there loyalty to the group and it's members.

A fully fledged member will have to attend several meets each year as part of the agreement in becoming A Hells Angel member. There are many clubhouses around and you will be required to meet other Hells Angels. Joining the club is considered a life commitment and leaving will not be easy. Members must hand back there patches or force could be used, An exception to the rule is if a member has dedicated several years to the club they will be allowed to leave gracefully. I would consider the USA Hells Angels a racist club as they wont allow Black members to wear the full logo and patches. It is extremely unlikely you will see a black hells angel in the USA club.

The Hang-around: Being a hang-around is the first stage, where you have probably been invited by other members of the club to an event, possibly at a Hells Angels clubhouse. This will provide you with an opportunity to meet some of the other members and get a feel for what this lifestyle may have to offer you. The other Hells Angels MC members will also be judging your character along the way.
The Associate: The next step up from the Hang-around is the Associate, where you will spend up to a few more years attending some of the events and meeting other members. The members will continue to evaluate you as you learn the ropes of how to become a Hells Angel.
The Prospect: Once you are made a prospect you are allowed to attend a lot more events, however you will not be able to place any votes on club matters and there may also be some meetings that you are not allowed to attend. It is over this period that the members will determine whether or not they believe that you will be a suitable fully patched member in the future.
The Fully Patched Member: The final step in the process will see you made into a Fully Patched Member. You will only reach this stage after a vote, where you must receive a unanimous vote from the other Hells Angels MC members. It is the several years of evaluations during the recruitment process which will determine whether or not you receive the votes required. In addition to the voting there may also be other requirements made of the Prospect in order to become a fully patched member, however due to the secrecy of all of these clubs it can’t be confirmed.

The Hells Angels is a 1% percenter club meaning 1% of motorcyclists are outlaws as the AMA American Motorbike Association said 99% of motorcyclists were law abiding citizens and 1% were not.

Police consider the Hells Angels to be a criminal organisation that carry out Murders violence drug dealing prostitution and other illegal activities. The hells angels are a worldwide organisation with many thousands of members in countries around the world.

The busy sound of cars honking and a low level wind is heard, The woman is breathless and has been running for some time.

Her tapping feet are heard as she runs across the bridge into the Bronx.

What do ya mean she left on her own?
Where could she of gone?
What the hell happened to your security guards?
If you have any news, call me immediately.

The headmistress of the school said she didn't sleep in her bed last night.

Samuel Fisher: Damn it! This is all we needed!

Vice President: Whatever is in her head, she sure timed it perfectly.
Our hands are tied until we get her back here!

Samuel Fisher: Contact Hammer for me!
Vice President: Hammer? - Isn't he a bit risky?

Samuel Fisher: We've got little choice.

Footsteps are heard as Anne gets closer into the tunnel.

Suddenly some roller skates appear.

Anne is trapped by the Zombies gang as she tries to run away.

The Zombies laugh and chanter as they have fun with there prey.

Suddenly a rumbling motorbike sound is heard.

A zombie gang member spots the approaching bikers and shouts out, It's the Riders, Other members start to warn each other It's the Riders they shout out.

A sound of metal is heard as Trash and other rider gang members pull out there metal spiked batons.

A deathly silence has overcome the gangs neither is making a sound. Anne is let go of and she cowers in a corner.

Suddenly the gangs start to fight, A shouting and clanging of metal is heard as the weapons make contact with each other. Paul Trash Blade and Ice all start fighting with the Zombie gang.

Paul kicks one of the Zombie gang members to the ground,

Trash takes a Zombie down but another wacks him from behind.

Trash smashes another gang member in the face with his heavy metal baton.

Blade takes down another Zombie.

Ice takes down a Zombie with a low kick.

Trash is making light work of the Zombie gang members.

Two Zombie members try to run away down the tunnel, Paul gets onto his bike to follow them.

Two razor sharp pairs of blades pop out of the bikes front wheels and fuel tank.

Paul revs his engine and then starts off down the tunnel towards the two Zombie members.

Paul brings them down as he passes, He then turns his bike back round for another pass of the men.

The sharp blades cut the men as they lay dying on the floor.

Everything is in slow motion as an eery sound plays, Trash is still fighting with Zombie members as Anne looks on.

As soon as the fighting has ended Trash looks over and spots Anne in the corner.

Anne is whimpering as Trash walks over, He say's Where you come from? - Manhattan Anne replies.

Trash replies, Want me to take you back there?

No Anne replies in a scared tone of voice.

Trash say's, You know this is the Bronx...

Anne replies, I know... I came here purposely.

Anywhere away from them..It's better.

Trash replies, But nothin' is worse than this hell hole....

That's what you think....

The sound score starts again, It is a funky melodrama with light drums.

Trash offers his hand out for support, Anne hesitates then reaches out as they make contact.

A helicopter is buzzing high in the New York skyline, A radio transmission can be heard from the Vice President high in the air above Manhattan, He say's Were running a hell of a risk, I hope you know that Fisher. Fisher is in a helicopter above the skyline.

Samuel Fisher replies I do know that Farley. Fisher continues, I Know it's risky but...let the operation continue...

The Vice President replies, Alright but nobodies to know about this...It's top secret understand, Fisher replies, I got it!
The Vice president replies from the operations room, When you got some good news call me I'll be waiting... Fisher replies..Yes Sir.

A drum kick snare and cymbals repeat at a continuous rhythm and pace as the World Trade Center and the Brooklyn bridge can be visibly seen in the distance.
