IT'S HIGH TIME SOMEONE SAID THAT THERE IS NOT A DIME'S WORTH OF DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ANY PATCH HOLDER OTHER THAT THE INSIGNIA OF THE PATCH.

DAMNNIT MY BROTHERS, IF WE DON'T STOP KILLING EACH OTHER THEN THE MAN WILL WIN AS HE ALWAYS DOES WHEN ONE OF US KILLS ANOTHER. THE MAN CONSIDERS THAT A WIN/WIN GAME FOR HIM. I HAVE PREACHED THIS FOR FOUR DECADES. THE MAN HAS DONE TO US THE SAME THING HE DID TO THE AMERICAN NATIVE.

THIS WEEK THE BANDIDOS LOST TWO BROTHERS AND A PROSPECT. THAT IN ESSENCE IS A LOST TO ALL OF US. EVEN IF YOU ARE A RIVAL CLUB OF ONE CLUB OR ANOTHER ANY LOST OF A BROTHER THAT SHARES THE SAME LIFE STYLE OF YOU IS A LOST TO YOU. REGARDLESS IF YOU ARE A MEMBER OF THE OUTLAWS, BANDIDOS, HELLS ANGELS, MONGOLS, PAGANS, SONS OF SILENCE, OR DC EAGLES, UNDER THE COLORS YOU EARNED YOU ARE STILL A BIKER WITH THE SAME ATTITUDE AS ANYONE.

DAMN IT, DON'T LET THE MAN DIVIDE AND CONQUER US. I KNOW IN SOME CASES THIS WILL TAKE A LOT OF EATING CROW, BUT WITH A LOT OF SALT MAKES CROW TASTE BETTER THAN DIRT. I'M NOT ASKING THAT EVERYTHING CHANGES OVERNIGHT BUT AT LEAST THINK ABOUT WHAT I'VE SAID AND LET COOLER HEADS PREVAIL AND REMEMBER THE FEELING THE LAST TIME YOU BURIED A BROTHER. IT IS TIME TO QUIT KILLING EACH OTHER AND BECOME ONE EVEN IF WE WANT TO KEEP OUR RESPECTIVE COLORS.

I KNOW THERE ARE SOME REAL HATRED AMONG SOME CLUBS BUT IF WE DON'T STOP HATING EACH OTHER AND KILLING EACH OTHER THE MAN IS GOING TO LAUGH ALL THE WAY TO THE MORGUE.

IT'S OUR CHOICE WHAT PATH WE TAKE BUT LOOK AROUND MY BROTHERS THEIR PLAN IS PAINFULLY CLEAR. WISE UP BROTHERS ITS NOT WHAT'S ON THE BACK BUT WHAT IS IN THE HEART AND WHAT'S BETWEEN YOUR LEGS. WHAT I AM TRYING TO SAY IS IT AIN'T THE PATCH THAT BINDS IT'S THE MOTORCYCLE AND THE LIFESTYLE.
