There would be no reason for an upstanding citizen to join an organization that is based off of criminal wrong doings.
Your basis of your argument is like saying "Oh hey we made Donnie into the Gambino Family, but he don't break no laws."
And don't start with me on Vets, I am one. The ones that drift to that lifestyle because of brotherhood and camaraderie form there own riding groups. 30 years ago, yeah maybe there were vets that didn't want to make waves with other clubs, but to join a 1% club nowadays is pretty much nothing but a criminal.
I can't even respect anyone that wears those patches when all you hear about down here is how they gang raped a young girl one day in the paper then they get caught selling meth the next day. yeahhhh real fuckin tough guys let me tell you.
wow.
edit: can you provide a link to the rape/meth cases you are referencing. I googled it but didn't find it.
