May fight in Millcreek Township involving a motorcycle club led police to charge 15 people, with some accused of the felony of causing a riot.

The criminal prosecution ended quietly on Tuesday.

None of the defendants was sentenced to prison.

Seven members of the motorcycle club, called Lucky 13, pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct, either as a summary or a third-degree misdemeanor, and agreed to pay fines ranging from $100 to $250, plus court costs.

Three others connected to the club had all of the charges dismissed.

Three other defendants accused of fighting with the club members also had charged dismissed, and two other people accused of fighting with the club members pleaded guilty to third-degree misdemeanors without fines assessed.

The plea deals were reached before Millcreek Township District Judge Paul Manzi, who had scheduled a preliminary hearing in the case for Tuesday.

The fight -- which police said involved knives, crowbars and drawn handguns -- occurred shortly before 11 p.m. May 9 in the parking lot of the Last Shot Bar and Grill, 3064 W. 12th St., Millcreek.

ABC News



A Supreme Court judge says a constitutional challenge to South Australia's bikie control orders may be invalid because the orders are on hold in a lower court.

Twelve control orders preventing members of the Finks Motorcycle Club from associating with one another were stayed at the request of a lawyer for the bikies.

But Justice David Bleby told the lawyer he may have shot himself in the foot because without the control orders there is nothing to challenge.

Justice Bleby repeated comments that he does not understand why magistrates are holding up the orders because the laws are still valid until a higher court finds otherwise.

Solicitor- General Martin Hinton told the court the state is eager for the case to be heard quickly.

He argued the orders do not need to be in place for the challenge to be heard.

Justice Bleby said, given that the case could move to the High Court, it was important the details were correct.

There will be a further hearing on Friday.

Evil (Chris Turley) stands outside the Kimball Art Center with CowBoy (Irvin Davidson) Saturday...

Varied backgrounds come together on the open road

Bikeriders have changed since the days of Danny Lyon.
Today, in Park City, the Treasure Mountain International School vice Principal hits the open road on his VTX 1800.

To kick off the "Danny Lyon: Bikeriders" exhibit, the Kimball Art Center hosted a Poker Ride, dinner at Butcher's Chop House and showing of Easy Rider at the Sky Lodge. The event, like motorcycle culture in general, attracted a range of participants, from Kevin McIntosh, the TMIS vice Principal, to Cowboy, a Utah native pictured in the Bikeriders exhibit.

Bikeriders, on display at the Kimball Art Center now through July 26, shows the lifestyle of the Chicago Outlaw Motorcycle club in the American Midwest from 1964-1967. The photos depict the fringe culture associated with motorcycle riding in the '60s and, compared to the crowd that showed up on Saturday afternoon on all types of bikes, it seems that culture has changed significantly over the past half century.

Experts call the latest move by Hells Angels an attempt to recruit more members in the face of gang conflict

Police, politicians and experts have expressed concern about the escalating gang conflict after the Hells Angels biker club published a damning manifesto targeting Muslims and immigrants on its website.

Spokesman for the Hells Angels Denmark, Jørn ‘Jønke’ Nielsen, published the four-page ‘Jackal Manifesto’ yesterday, using the term to describe people it says are often Muslims, or of Arabic background, and who ‘hate Danes, the mentality, lifestyle, Christianity and its symbols’.

Nielsen defended the manifesto as neither racist nor aimed at people of a certain skin colour or religion, and said the ‘jackal’ mentality that the club would no longer tolerate in Denmark.

Peter Zervas has become the first alleged Hells Angel member to be charged over the Sydney airport brawl that claimed his brother's life.

Without naming Zervas, gang squad detectives on Wednesday said they had arrested a 32-year-old man at Punchbowl in Sydney's southwest.

He was taken to Burwood Police Station where he was charged with affray and riot over the March 22 brawl.

Zervas was refused bail and is due to appear in Sydney's Central Local Court on Thursday.

"Police will allege the man is a member of the Hells Angels Outlaw Motor Cycle Gang," police said in a statement.

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court declared today that white firefighters in Connecticut were unfairly denied promotion because of their race, ruling against minorities in a major reverse discrimination case that could affect bosses and workers nationwide. The justices threw out a decision that high court nominee Sonia Sotomayor had endorsed as an appeals court judge. In its last session until September, the court's conservative majority prevailed in a 5-4 ruling that faulted New Haven and the courts that had upheld the city's discarding of results of an exam in which no African-Americans scored high enough to be promoted to lieutenant or captain. The city said it acted to avoid a lawsuit from minorities, but Justice Anthony Kennedy said in his majority opinion that New Haven's action amounted to discrimination based on race against the white firefighters who were likely to be promoted. "No individual should face workplace discrimination based on race," Kennedy said. The ruling restricts, but does not eliminate, employers' ability to take diversity into account in employment decisions. But the ruling could make it harder for minorities to prove discrimination based solely on lopsided racial hiring or promotions. Sotomayor and two appeals court colleagues had ruled the city did the right thing in throwing out the test, and the Supreme Court reversal gave critics fresh ammunition two weeks before her Senate confirmation hearing. Conservatives said it showed her to be a judicial activist who lets her own feelings color her decisions. "This case will only raise more questions in the minds of the American people concerning Judge Sotomayor's commitment to treat each individual fairly and not as a member of a group," said Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala. On the other hand, the Obama administration and liberal allies said her stance in the case demonstrated her restraint and unwillingness to go beyond precedents established by her own 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New York. The high court ruling shows "she doesn't legislate from the bench," said presidential spokesman Robert Gibbs. "The Supreme Court clearly had a new interpretation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act." Coincidentally, the justices may have given a boost to calls for quick action on her nomination. The court said it would return Sept. 9 to hear a second round of arguments in a campaign finance case, and with Justice David Souter retiring there would be only eight justices unless Sotomayor has been confirmed by then.

A SQUAD of elite police officers is close to using the Government's tough anti-bikie legislation to wipe out the first outlaw motorcycle gang.

NSW Police Commissioner Andrew Scipione revealed yesterday that the unit of 13 officers was formed last week to work solely on preparing a case against one of the state's bikie gangs but he did not say which.

He said the formation of the Criminal Organisations Unit sent a "significant message" to bikie gangs - along with yesterday's charging of Comanchero boss Mahmoud "Mick' Hawi with murder.

The unit, which has been set up as part of the Gangs Squad, will work with prosecutors to ask the Supreme Court to rule the gang is involved in organised crime and seek to have it proscribed.

If the ruling is made, the gang's assets can then be seized, members will be banned from associating with each other and can also be barred from certain occupations, including motor vehicle repairer.

"We are looking to get one of these matters before the Supreme Court as soon as we can," Mr Scipione said.

He said the investigation into the murder of Anthony Zervas during a brawl between Comanchero and Hells Angels members at Sydney airport in March was continuing and "many more" charges would be laid.

THE Finks Motorcycle Club has "shot itself in the foot" and possibly ruined its legal challenge to anti-bikie laws, the Supreme Court has warned.

Today, Justice David Bleby said the club's success in having control orders against its members deactivated meant it no longer had anything to oppose.

He said the high profile challenge must be urgently rewritten, or "run the risk" of having the state's highest court rule it meaningless.

"It seems to me you have a problem. The order that was made against (club members) has been stayed," he said.

"Haven't you shot yourselves in the foot with that? If you don't have an order that's in force, how can you possibly challenge it?

"You run the risk that the Full Court is going to say there is nothing for it to determine."

Finks members Sandro Peter Totani and Donald "Duck" Hudson claim the Serious and Organised Crime (Control) Act 2008 – which governs the issuing of control orders – is unconstitutional and should be declared invalid.

Two members of the Hells Angels Motorcycle Club have lost their challenge of Ottawa's anti-gang law in an appeals court ruling that upholds their conviction for extortion as well as the constitutionality of stiffer sentences for gangsters.

Steven Lindsay and Raymond Bonner, members of the North Toronto chapter of the Hells Angels, were convicted of extortion after an attempted shake down of a black market satellite TV equipment dealer while they were covered in insignias declaring their association with the outlaw motorcycle club.

Lindsay and Bonner demanded $75,000 from the dealer in 2002 and threatened him. As they walked away from his home, the dealer saw the trademarked winged skull logo of the Hells Angels on the back of their jackets, court heard.

He complained to the police and under the direction of investigators, arranged to meet the two bikers again while he was wearing a secret microphone.

Preston, Conn. — .Witnesses to a fight Sunday at a Preston bar told police that members of the Legion of Doom motorcycle gang were relentless in their beating of a Norwich man.

The victim in the beating, Kevin Kennedy of Norwich, remained hospitalized Tuesday night at Yale New Haven Hospital, but his condition had been upgraded from serious to fair, a hospital spokesman said.

Police have charged six men in connection with the incident that involved thrown tables, broken bottles and at least one knife, according to witnesses.

While at the Brookside Cafe on Route 2A, Kennedy was stabbed in the leg, repeatedly kicked and punched in the head while he lay on the ground and was thrown through a car window, according to one witness.

State police were called to the scene at 1:38 a.m. and arrested six men.

Three bouncers at the bar told police things got out of control when a dozen members of the Legion of Doom, wearing matching vests, started taking turns beating Kennedy on the back deck of the bar. At one point, friends of the victim were able to get Kennedy outside to a parking lot across the street while the bouncers held back the bikers. The bikers followed, however, and continued the beating in the parking lot.

That’s when “all hell broke loose,” according to one bouncer’s statement to police. People yelled racial slurs, someone pulled a knife and one man was “randomly sucker punching people.”
Kennedy told police the brawl started when he bumped one member of the gang. A fight started and others jumped into the fray.
