02:56i ever have an issue with the hell's angels that's who i'll be seeing before i ever see a hell's angels

03:01member sons of hell they're there to support the hell's angels to do some of their bidding that way

03:07they have deniability it's just another day in paradise in one of the biggest wars in the biker

03:14world today they're all alphas tabagos just wanted to tear up and that's what they did

03:26they call themselves wanderers vagos the last of the old school mc standing

03:34they're more than 2 000 members strong you cannot live in this world and thrive in this world if

03:40you're not willing to be violent and go the extra mile to show people hey do not mess with me

03:48in cali they outnumber hell's angels three to one there's no negotiation there's no discussion this is how

03:55we handle the problem we just get rid of them they're wild they're rambunctious and they're deadly

04:02they're next level they've rained down mayhem from highways to main streets throughout the west

04:09vagos are definitely known in the biker world for being extremely wild and violent

04:15because they're large in numbers they're becoming one of the largest motorcycle clubs in the world

04:21if it's bolted down unbolt it and take it if it's not take it

04:29you know snitches get stitches

04:32i kind of like the phrase snitches should be in ditches

04:35it's the vagos they're wild they don't make sense at times and then they make perfect sense

04:49the vagos

04:59there's an age-old saying in the world of the vagos mc we give what we get

05:06in just a few years the vagos have exploded to over 110 chapters worldwide

05:13with over 60 chapters in the u.s alone they have so many members they call themselves green nation

05:22in numbers they commit more crimes and they're becoming more violent because they feel more

05:26comfortable because there's so many members in their club

05:29the good old days of the vagos begin under a hot sun in the middle of the desert san bernardino cali

05:41aka the inland empire the vagos was started by some ex-military persons who probably were looking

05:49for an outlet looking for a release of brotherhood everyone at the beginning were serious about their

05:57business get together and they're all brilliant they're all almost genius level minds they ditched

06:04a club called the psychos and started their own thing they were a group evolved from the psychos

06:11motorcycle club the members were disgruntled and they wanted to start their own chapter

06:16so they create an insignia loki the norse god of mischief it's made by a vago who's behind bars

06:24first you have a red low key on a motorcycle and they have the green patch and it's lime green

06:31they're not trying to hide themselves in any way we're here notice us right the color green has a

06:38double meaning they went with the color green because some of the founders were of mexican american

06:44heritage so they wanted to symbolize green for the mexican flag the vagos jacket or cut is full of secret

06:53codes the mother load is the patch mf the feds say the mf patch is earned when a member commits an

07:03act of violence or murder for the club your vagos mf patch pretty much stood for mother which was to

07:13give a middle finger to the other one percent motorcycle clubs vagos cuts also include colored wings

07:21each color represents a different sex act vagos are the most sexual when it comes to their past work

07:30they have red wings that means that you have orally pleased a woman who is her aunt flo is there

07:38they have white wings and black wings and brown wings and they all stand for different races of

07:44of women that they have orally uh satisfied green wings is if the female has a venereal disease purple

07:52wings i mean i'll be honest if it's you know it's a corpse but unprotected sex can cost a vago member

08:00in the old rules it said no member shall be part of a train which means a gangbang if they have a

08:07venereal disease otherwise they're charged fifty dollars

08:15by the 80s a legendary vago is at the head of the table terry orndorff aka terry the tramp bleeds green

08:24terry orndorff was the national international president of the vagos from like the 80s all the

08:32way up until the 2000s so when somebody back they're gonna get a knot in their head so he had a long run

08:41one of the longest tenure as the national international president of the vagos he was a super tough guy a

08:49super smart guy terry the tramp sets up a structure that matches their creed stand on your business

08:56and trust no one you have your active president vice president sergeant at arms treasury road captain

09:05full patch member prospect member and then you have your hang around member and your support club

09:11one unbreakable rule of the vagos no gang members period they definitely don't want gang members

09:22because they view them as being too immature to be a part of their club make no mistake vetting prospects

09:28is serious business they'll go to cemeteries if you say your parents are deceased to see if there's a

09:34headstone look at high school yearbooks to see if you actually existed

09:37this ruthless criminal motorcycle gang has been terrorizing our community for years they have

09:46their guys that are meth dealers you know there's no doubt about it they have guys that are involved

09:53in the firearms trafficking assaults murders the whole gamut of crime meth is the drug of choice

10:04for many outlaw clubs my grandfather he left the hell's angels to go cook dope for the vagos he rode

10:11with the vagos for approximately 15 to 20 years when i was younger he would come home and his hands and

10:19skin looked like raw meat the chemicals would eat his skin off of his hands and he would just smell like

10:27pharmaceuticals he would smell like chemicals one expert compares drug dealing and outlaw clubs to a giant

10:34pyramid scheme these guys will do a lot of internal business amongst each other as a member gets a new

10:41prospect they'll start supplying that person pretty soon as it branches out this one member might be

10:48supplying drugs to seven or eight people in that charter through different sources but it's all

10:53ultimately coming from the same guy nowadays the meth is cooked in super labs in mexico once the cartels took

11:02over the super labs is where they can manufacture hundreds of pounds in one cook

11:09so their purity now is 99 100 pure

11:16members of the vagos motorcycle gang were armed they don't hesitate to use those weapons and they

11:22also carry the weapons to intimidate rival gang members members of the public and to further their criminal conspiracy

11:30when it comes to weapons the vagos stash is full-on military grade with rocket and grenade launchers in

11:38tow handguns because it's easier to ride with them they go to bars they go to events when the fight

11:46starts the knives come out and no one knows that they're stabbing somebody because it looks like a fight

11:51it's all used in service of the vagos creed it's called sos sos will mean smash on site so sos means

12:00that you go and attack this person right when you see them in the 1990s terry the tramp and the vagos

12:09quickly begin to absorb smaller clubs around southern cali it's shock and awe strategy for taking territory

12:16their first like five chapters were other clubs that they just put their cut on gangesh con style

12:22and next thing you know they got 10 chapters in southern california and they're all wearing vagos

12:28they're all wearing that low key

12:33but in 2000 terry the tramp and the vagos poke mama bear

12:38the hell's angels there was no relationship between the hell's angel and the vagos they were

12:45seen as the opposition they weren't our friend they were a foe things heat up when the vagos blitz

12:53southern cali and are entrenched before the hell's angels know what hit them the hell's angels had

12:59northern california locked down pretty well and before the hell's angels knew it vagos had taken over

13:04southern california completely the hell's angels should have stepped up on it and shut it down

13:13they didn't it's just a matter of time before it all goes off and on a sunny day at a fairground

13:20in southern cali it does it absolutely exploded right in the center of the hole some of those guys

13:30look like they were they're dead or dying when they took them out

13:38with a vagos mc it's showtime ground zero orange county fairgrounds costa mesa ca

13:49october 27 2001 80 bikers are at the motorcycle swap meet this is hell's angels territory

13:59my partner and i were still in the exhibition hall that we knew of we were the only two cops in there

14:04we'd gotten some intel from our gang unit supervisor who said that there may be an

14:10issue between the vagos and the hell's angels that there was could be an incident suddenly the vibe in

14:16the air changes the bogos showed up deep had a lot of members with them they knew that the hell's

14:24angels were there vagos were splitting off in pairs and taking up positions in the corners of the

14:29building house angels they started gathering around their respective presidents and officers that

14:36were in the booths and that was pretty clear then it was going to be an issue it really was within a

14:42blink of an eye it absolutely exploded right in the center of the hole bikers grab merch off vendors

14:56tables everything and anything becomes a weapon and i do specifically remember one of them picking

15:01up a gas tank and just beating somebody over the head with it um somebody else grabbed it looked like

15:05an exhaust pipe and was hitting a guy with it shock absorbers you name it back up arrives on the scene

15:16in force and the bikers vanish some of those guys look like they were they're dead or dying when they

15:22took them out dimmel alerts area hospitals to get ready for a wave of casualties but nothing comes in

15:30some of the intel we've been told was if some of these bikers died in these incidents they may just

15:37hold their own funeral and deal with it in their own way and nobody's really ever the wiser

15:46as the street war between the vagos and hell's angels kicks off

15:51a young atf agent comes on the scene john carr he's seriously he's one of the best undercover agents i've

15:59ever known he's a tough guy i mean he'd be here probably be one of the first people i take in a

16:03fight with me carr would change the game against the vagos he has agreed to appear on television for

16:11the first time his first order of business putting terry the tramp the president into early retirement

16:21we couldn't get him on actually committing any violent assaults or trafficking or narcotics you know

16:27even though he was a national president all he needs is terry's achilles heel it doesn't take him

16:34long to find it terry the tramp was also known as a heavy gambler i have seen him not leave a slot

16:41machine for two or three days at a time he'd also keep money and using money that was fed to the mother

16:48chapter from other chapters the way that we actually got to him was we charged him fairly for social

16:56security fraud it was almost kind of like the al capone scenario right in 2009 terry is behind bars

17:05while he's inside his brothers smell blood in the water after 25 years terry's kicked out of the club

17:13he helped build his ending isn't pretty i remember talking to some law enforcement official and they're

17:19like yeah i saw the tramp swat me selling used bike parts he eventually passed away just a broke man but

17:28once you're gone you're gone

17:33with terry gone the vagos mc starts to earn a new record of lawless savagery it was a shootout in the

17:41streets with two rival motorcycle gangs gunning for each other this afternoon we heard about six gunshots

17:46there are new details tonight in a deadly stabbing outside a tattoo parlor six people shot right on

17:51the 95 closing the freeway for hours they're like wind-up toys i'm gonna shoot them this is how we

17:58handle the problem we just we just get rid of them during a raid in the late 90s one cop found a fresh

18:04human skull he said quote it had material on it some bits of maybe hair and flesh the bogos motorcycle club

18:13was the most corrupt motorcycle club that i have seen it's just that dirty biker lifestyle

18:27that that everyone hears about you're the biggest maddest mother

18:32motorcycle club ever turn it around you're looking at yourself now check it out

18:36bring me all this work it's okay for my plate

18:38why are you filming it bro because i told you from there that's where you think that

18:42he's underneath my neck

18:48but the shit hits the fan when cops find a body in the san berdu desert

18:54he went by the moniker of shorty but he was like a hang around of the vagos he was duct taped hands

19:03behind his back brutally beaten his face stomped in the information was connecting it back to a house

19:12that he was last seen at that was a known location for the vagos car heads to the house

19:19when he gets there avago answers the door there was nobody there except one individual a member and

19:27he's in the process of cleaning the carpet the water in the steam cleaner is red that was blood in the

19:35water that was the kickoff of we need to do something and operation 22 green a legendary undercover

19:43takedown is on i know they don't like me to call them our local terrorists but i'll put that name on

19:49them too but it's a gang car knows he needs a trojan horse one drops into his lap the best way to get

19:57at the vagos was to have somebody on the inside his name is george roe he grew up in that area he knew

20:06all these guys so it wasn't like he was somebody that dropped out of nowhere for george turning into

20:12an informant he's about vengeance george actually had approached his detective with concerns about

20:20a friend of his who went missing at the hands of the vagos suspected to be a homicide and so he was

20:28willing to do whatever it took to help law enforcement find out what happened getting him into

20:34the club is easy the goal is to get him to be a shot caller if we could get these guys to the

20:40point of becoming members then obviously if you can get them to become officers officers attend church

20:46meetings where all the intel is shared and big decisions are made having informants that are

20:54officers you know you get into those meetings as well you know and that's a whole another type of

20:59intelligence that you're getting car and roe drop the bait the vagos don't have clubhouses for every

21:06chapter but every chapter would just hold their church meetings at members residences so he volunteered

21:13like hey you know you can have church at my house all the time it works with car pulling the strings george

21:22roe rises through the ranks to become the treasurer of the hemat chapter of the vagos

21:28we knew by you know he had access to the chapter's books we could see where the money's going what

21:33may be being paid out for narcotics buying guns every meeting the informants went in and we recorded

21:41all those meetings

21:57okay the tapes keep rolling and the evidence keeps growing

22:04i don't know what you said

22:05i don't know what you said

22:06i don't know what you have to do

22:07you have to die but what you have to say here

22:08i don't know what you have to do

22:09look if you're going to move to another chapter you have to put yourself in and you have to put yourself in

22:14you agree with your president and if you have to pay for something you have to pay for it

22:21but a savage attack threatens to derail everything

22:25and becomes a matter of life and death

22:26life and death they shot him killed him the round actually went through the male and hit a female

22:34and the vagos are about to blow up the mc world with a very public killing

22:40and the vagos are very immediate and concise when it comes to retaliation they know they're going to come get you

22:54under atf agent john carr confidential informant george roe has infiltrated the leadership of the vagos mc

23:02guns drugs murder they see and hear it all then the icing on the cake dna is recovered on a towel in a vagos house

23:19its shorties the homicide victim that kicked off the operation based on dna samples that was taken

23:28off the towel they connected that towel to the homicide and ultimately to remember the vagos

23:35roe and carr are on the verge of breaking the vagos wide open

23:39which is why they're blindsided by an ambush there was a member named jack fight

23:46and he was just a violent guy george went to go visit him but when george came to his house jack

23:56surprised him and knocked him almost unconscious handcuffed him to a table in his house and then

24:02assaulted him it's like any moment's notice these guys can turn on each other

24:13i wrote a search warrant for every president every sergeant at arms every secretary treasurer

24:20of every chapter free truck free truck please lead to the war open the door today's arrest will charge

24:26various members of this gang with murder attempted murder assaults and federal firearms and narcotics

24:32violations 700 law officers arrested 30 members of the club which prosecutors say is a highly organized

24:39criminal gang but even with the feds on their ass the vagos keep rolling

24:46by 2010 they've expanded into hawaii nevada oregon and mexico in cali they're making drives deep into

24:58hell's angels territory with 25 chapters in southern cali alone the vagos have a tactic in that they utilize

25:07having runs and functions in these smaller towns with smaller law enforcement presence where they can

25:13dominate and overwhelm them well that's one way of them showing force and creating havoc omgs like

25:22the vagos also start to creep into law enforcement they had two guys that worked for the la county

25:29probations department who were members of the vagos which i found just totally bizarre i went to their

25:35supervisor to actually say hey you know we got a problem here the supervisor he almost like threw us out

25:41of his office he just did not see the problem with it a talent of a vagos member leading a double life

25:49you couldn't pick them out of a lineup they looked like regular people they blend in

25:54there was a brother's old lady that was a pharmacist and she could start smuggling

26:00pharmaceuticals out of the pharmacy that she worked for

26:03but the smooth sailing doesn't last long the vagos are about to blow up the mc world

26:11by killing a hell's angel in public it would go down as one of the most seminal moments in one

26:17percenter history all it takes is one little spark which happened of somebody saying something and it

26:23goes goes goes to shit september 23rd 2011 sparks nevada street vibrations festival is underway

26:41the bogos and the hell's angels are a major part in street vibrations they would show up and they

26:46would be equally matched and nothing ever really went down besides a lot of shit talk the nugget hotel

26:55is where the bogos historically stay for street vibrations down the street in reno the hell's angels

27:02that's where they'll stay but something's off from the jump the hell's angels had several rooms

27:09at the nugget hotel which was again the headquarters for the for the bogos uh it's kind of a slap in the

27:15face the attendees are a who's who of power leaders of the outlaw biker world jeffrey jethro pettigrew is

27:23there he's one of the most powerful hell's angels in the country jethro is a man's man he is the most

27:31loved hell's angel that i had ever been around or ever seen in my life he didn't take from anybody

27:38but neither does the vagos president pastor fausto palafox aka tata tata was the international

27:46president of the vagos at that time very big deal tata's got backup ernesto gonzalez aka romeo

27:56and gary rutnick aka jabbers romeo was the president of the nicaragua chapter of the lagos

28:05very nondescript four glasses low key matter of fact he had a dry cleaning business in uh in san

28:11francisco jabbers looked up to his name he would just talk he would talk about anything he could

28:17talk about it didn't matter what it was he just cannot stop talking it's the final day of the

28:23conference some clubs are packing it up to head out not the vagos there were vagos in force they were

28:32going to close this party down themselves it wasn't going to end well some say it all started

28:38from of all things a dare from this man hell's angel steve tossin aka mr 187 the cali penal code for

28:49murder on a dare from his best friend steve tossin jethro pedigree open up shop selling t-shirts out

28:56in front of that hotel that they knew that the vagos stay at 10 13 p.m surveillance picks up jethro

29:05at the oyster bar inside the hotel drinking at the bar it was all vagos members talking to pettigrew

29:14but you also see other hell's angels either seated in the bar itself looking towards the area where

29:20pettigrew is we would line up to maybe three different places in case there was something

29:26popped off at 10 18 jabbers makes his move then entered jabbers he walks over to jethro and he tries

29:37to immediately start talking to jethro now jethro says hey i don't have any issue we're just down here

29:44not bothering nobody we're minding our business you should do the same jabbers seem to be upset but

29:49the other two members didn't quite seem to be upset looked like they were discussing how to coexist

29:55it's about to pop off and it's all caught on camera if you can get it out the door get it out

30:01the door and handle it outside but if you can't i can do what you got to do and the casino floor turns

30:08into a war zone

30:18there's been one dust up between vagos member gary rudnik aka jabbers and hell's angels chapter

30:25president jethro pettigrew but jabbers isn't done at 11 25 pm when jethro passes him in the casino

30:36things jump off the second that jethro walked by you can see that jabbers says something to him

30:44jethro then turns walks up to jabbers and asks him yo hey what's going on the jabbers then spouted back

30:53to him jethro had had enough when he did that and promptly punches jabbers right in his mouth

31:02and the fight's on

31:12in pedigree he's got a briefcase in one hand and he's got the gun in the other

31:16jethro pistol whips a vago

31:20then you have all of these vagos converging on them coming in

31:34jethro then went around the corner around the bank of slot machines

31:42romeo came in behind them and jethro didn't even know he was there and he didn't see it coming

31:50you can see pettigrew towards one of the aisles it looks like he was trying to kick somebody but the

31:55next thing you see is him going face forward romeo blast jethro pettigrew five times point blank in the

32:02back

32:02it's mayhem in the casino people hiding in their chairs crawling around

32:17some women crying there were people actually still playing their games even though they know what's

32:22going on it was just very surreal you could see these two hell's angel associates they're hugging

32:28each other because one's trying to protect the other one because he was being boot kicked by the vago's

32:34another vago drags him off

32:39kicking him punching him

32:46he finally manages to run away

32:50that's probably the gladdest he's ever been that the police arrived

32:53police swarm the scene police come in in force and everybody's laid down everybody's questioned

33:04and we did see that pettigrew was being carried out of the casino by a couple members to get him

33:09out to an ambulance but jethro never makes it out alive here at the jam-packed nugget casino it's a

33:17madhouse a smoldering territorial dispute ignites between the outlaw bikers 51 year old jeffrey jethro

33:26pettigrew was killed hearing that this is the worst biker feud in at least a decade

33:32president tata romeo and jabbers vanish some members dump their cuts in the bushes a cardinal sin

33:41in the outlaw mc world no arrests have been made in the shootings the police say they're reviewing

33:46surveillance tape from the casino cops roll out a manhunt and pull the surveillance tape

33:52and to them something doesn't add up they zero in on romeo you have romeo looking at pettigrew

34:01from one position he changed a different position he's still looking at pettigrew the whole time

34:07i felt he was stalking him looking for an opportunity to do what he subsequently did

34:12romeo stalking jethro pettigrew then investigators look at the surveillance camera behind the oyster

34:20bar where jethro is shot if you walk behind the oyster bar there's a wall that opens up to where

34:27pettigrew was shot in the back to them what they see is chilling romeo went around behind the oyster bar

34:36to an exit that came out to where pettigrew was and shot him in the back

34:43and then when he left he went back out that way again and escaped from the area after shooting

34:48jethro he then allegedly had a scheduled plan of escape it appeared that it was a planned route

34:56then an informant steps forward he tells cops there was a secret fogos meeting where tata ordered jethro's

35:04execution in the side meeting it was discussed the disrespect that's going on and allegedly there

35:11was a green light put out on jethro the cops cuff jabbers immediately romeo is cuffed up in northern cali

35:23a few weeks later he wanted the police officer to get him out of that area fast because he was afraid

35:29that that if not the hills angels would get a hold of him first

35:37both show up in court wearing bulletproof vests

35:43romeo claims self-defense it was undisputed that gonzalez did shoot pettigrew but the big argument from a

35:50legal standpoint is why he did it was he trying to defend himself or was he there purposely in a

35:57premeditated way trying to assassinate and kill pettigrew but cops spy an opening turned jabbers

36:05against the vagos he lived up to his name as jabbers and he talked and he talked and he talked gary

36:12jabbers rudnik pleaded guilty to second-degree murder as part of a plea deal rudnik was given

36:17the seven-year sentence in exchange for his testimony against the gunman he takes a deal for

36:23second-degree murder and gets seven years on his back number you didn't have to do any of that keep

36:28your mouth shut jabbers says that the green light on jethro was legit a nevada jury began deliberating

36:36this afternoon in the trial of a vagos motorcycle club member accused of killing the leader of the

36:42san jose chapter of the hell's angels ernesto gonzalez testified that he was acting in self-defense

36:47prosecutors claim the deadly shooting was part of an assassination plot the jury agrees ernesto

36:55gonzalez was found guilty on all accounts and sentenced to 25 years of life in prison

37:04but then a bombshell the judge botches the jury instructions the conviction gets tossed gonzalez ends

37:13up in prison for a couple of years and a couple of years later the charge ends up getting overturned

37:20but this case is far from over jethro's death pretty much cemented the fact that the hell's angels and

37:27the vagos will never be okay when you kill the shot caller of a club you're gonna start a war

37:34and that's exactly what it did by 2017 the vagos have gone international expanding deep into mexico

37:46south america and europe but while the vagos have been rolling the feds have been watching

37:54and with sparks up in flames they spy an opportunity it was only a matter of time before jethro's death was

38:00pulled into some sort of indictment that would have them facing the rest of their life racketeering

38:06is if you're part of a corrupt organization every bad act can be charged against anybody named in the

38:13indictment under racketeering they're allowed to charge everybody in that indictment for murder

38:18june 2017 the club gets an early morning wake-up call police on the ground on the ground 19 vagos are

38:34cuffed one vagos was a criminal defense attorney another was a former high school teacher

38:43they're charged with robbery kidnapping and aggravated assault law enforcement says over the

38:48years the vagos gang has sold drugs and illegal weapons to enrich its leaders and even ordered

38:55hits on rival gang members nevada supreme court ordered a new trial for ernesto gonzalez romeo gonzalez

39:02is charged for killing pettigrew the feds go back to their star witness jabbers for round two but this time

39:12jabbers makes a move no one sees coming jabbers caused more damage to the hell's angels and to divagos

39:20that day than any one person ever has in one moment july 2019 operation green light

39:35the indictment under the rico act alleges that they are members of a criminal organization

39:40engaged in crimes including racketeering murder robbery kidnapping and assault

39:46the federal trial against the vagos is about to get wheels up the star witness once again is jabbers

39:55but before getting on the stand he makes a move no one sees coming jabbers basically backtracked on

40:03everything that he had said originally about it being a hit on on jester pettigrew

40:09by the time he takes the stand it's game over on cross-examination he just started pleading the fifth

40:16the move blindsides the doj they thought it was going to be a slam dunk rico case and jabbers really

40:24threw a wrench in that badly in february 2020 a bombshell hits the airwaves members of the vagos

40:32biker gang were found not guilty of an alleged racketeering enterprise people in any organization

40:38make mistakes and do things wrong it doesn't mean that an organization is a criminal organization

40:43romeo gonzalez and the other vagos walk i always say there's no slam dunk case when you go to trial

40:50and anytime anybody ever says that i cringe there's no such thing

40:55this is the streets there's no rules to it there's no referee the only rule in the streets is don't

41:05be killed and romeo did what he had to do meanwhile on the ground the vagos steamroll the hell's angels

41:14out west the vagos have become the one of the biggest forces in the state of nevada they've got

41:21multiple chapters over the last decade and a half the vagos have very smartly picked at the hell's

41:29angels they've watched the hell's angels kind of implode on themselves and they've been there to clean

41:35it up the entire bakersville chapter of the hell's angels was arrested four members of the las vegas

41:42hell's angels behind bars tonight i'm surprised that they didn't buy their clubhouses and just paint them

41:46green today the green nation extends from south america and europe to thailand and australia

41:57but some warn they're eating their own some of these guys they join what they thought was a

42:02brotherhood but the minute they're in it they become a liability because now they've got inside knowledge

42:07they know things that nobody else knows and that becomes a problem the turnover for the vagos is huge

42:14the tenure for the vagos is not for the faint of heart you cannot make it to a retiree's age as a

42:22vago unless you are loved and vicious today there's a term some vagos use it's called getting vagos

42:35getting screwed over by the club like vagos you know you pay either bi-weekly or weekly dues to your

42:42chapter right part of it goes to a defense fund but i've arrested hundreds of vagos

42:50and they all get public defenders after 15 years as an outlaw biker terry kilfian walked away from

42:58gangland i was all in for the vagos motorcycle club and then after being a member i would just see how

43:06backstabbing the the brothers would treat each other they would rip each other off for drugs money

43:15it was just a lot of drama and a lot of fake brotherhood

43:19i don't think vagos have evolved they're like caught in that evolutionary trap of omgs where

43:30they're the same club they were in the 1960s 70s 80s nothing's changed that includes war with the hell's

43:39angels the hell's angels have allowed the vagos to become who they are today they've learned lessons

43:47on how to do right and not do wrong as you tangle with a bear

43:55the vagos have scraped and scratched and clawed their way to where they're at right now 23 men stood

44:03together against the u.s government none unfolded none of them talked if you got a whole club full of

44:10them a thousand of them who's gonna stop you
