Hells Angels and Support Clubs holiday in Campbell River BC



"Sure, some members of the club break the law, and so do some members of law enforcement, and of both no more than as other individual may. The idea is not to paint them all with the same brush. As a retired RCMP officer I appreciate that consideration, and hope that the majority of people do not see us as 'Tasering Murderers'. 

Many club members are family men: husbands, fathers, and some of us are grandfathers. They work regular boring jobs, pay their taxes on time, belong to political parties, some are teachers, business owners, police officers, judges, journalists, and what they have in common, is the love of motorcycles, life, freedoms, and loylty for the club and each other.

As each event comes and goes without incident, local law enforcement should start to relax, as communities see the economic potential to hosting bikers. I dare say, maybe a forward-thinking community should try organizing an annual rally. Residents need not worry, as the "Bad Boys" labelled by police as "Outlaws" only bring money, not mayhem."
