Hells Angels' local presence concerns cops

Vermont law enforcement officials say they are concerned by the increased presence of a notorious motorcycle gang in Southern Vermont.

I'm sorry, but it's not the 1960s anymore. They should not be targeting this group. If Bennington is so worried about pot in Bennington, then why is there a head shop right in the middle of town?

[FYI]

"If there's a crime in having a good time, then hey, that's too bad," many businesses in the city's entertainment district area are accepting the bikers' business. It's cash that the Angels are coming with nothing attached but goodwill.

The cops need to get a life, and stop trying to scare the locals into giving them more money to fight the mythical barbarian hoards descending on their state/town.

This group is targeted more amd more every year. Its really a shame I know several members and they are nice men who work full time jobs and take great care of their families and friends. They dont do drugs or have a stable of call girls or sell drugs to minors. I been to their parties and nothing ever happens thats out of line. Its a great time. Most of the ones who get busted are done so by intrapment and you read later were the charges were dropped. I think its wrong for law enforcement to do this. Every Club has guys that do bad things and such and they do get busted. But not so much as to warrent the harassment that the HA is going through year after year. I know Sonny Barger and you will never meet a nicer man and yes I have seen him at his worst mad as all hell and its nothing like what the press says he is. The motto for the cops is a crisis a day keeps bordom away. So they invent stuff to go after. If they put as much time and money into catching crack heads and murders as they do running after the HA we would have free health care for our families.

said police are worried that "high-grade" marijuana allegedly grown and sold by the Hells Angels in Canada would increasingly be found in Vermont if an active chapter were to spring up in the state.
"We're concerned that north of the border hydroponic marijuana is being controlled by the Hell's Angels in Canada," he said.

[in my words 2 you]

Years ago Hells Angels and other motorcycle people made a bad name for motorcycle riders. Today people who ride motorcycles come from all walks of life.They include doctors,lawyers,judges and just average working people. As a rider who has attended rallies I speak from experience. They raise thousands of dollars yearly for people and organizations in need. It is to bad we have people like Charles Kozlosky, a retired federal investigator,who from experience know how to stir people up. He knows what to say to push their buttons on a subject. As for pot coming from Canada we have people in town now who sell it. Just because I ride a motorcycle don't label me a pot head or drug user because I am not. As far as people who use pot I say " to each his own."

Read Hunter S. Thompson's book about the Angels. That was the Sixties; things are much different now. The bit above about motorcyclists nowadays coming from all walks of life is true.
