The Hells Angels have had a rough week. Though the motorcycle club has grown substantially and there are various chapters in over thirty charters worldwide, its members consider themselves part of one and the same brotherhood. In that sense, it is probably correct to say the entire club has had a very rough week.
Ferrero’s obituary read: “Holding the office of President for over 10 years, he showed outstanding leadership and character. He was always there for his brothers and his friends 24/7, his old school ways and traditions will never be forgotten. “Live the life you love, love the life you live! I’m not here for a long time, I’m here for a good time!” was his philosophy on life.”
Up north in Canada, there was more bad news for the club. In the city of Nanaimo, the local Hells Angels chapter lost an appeal to get its clubhouse back. The clubhouse was seized three years ago because authorities believed the property was being used as an instrument for unlawful activity. During the seizure police found evidence that the clubhouse sold liquor without a license, and also evidence of a serious beating of a former Hells Angel in 2002, the Vancouver Sun reported. The ruling means the clubhouse will remain under a seizure order until the matter can be heard at a civil trial.
As has become clear in the above paragraphs, murder is a common tool among outlaw bikers who are involved in drug dealing and other crimes. Whether or not the same can be said of the Dutch Hells Angel who was shot to death on December 3 in Haarlem, The Netherlands, has yet to be seen. The man was hit in broad daylight by “four to five” shotgun blasts. His assailant and three other men then fled the scene in a car. Dozens of police officers rushed to the murder scene but were unable to apprehend any suspects.
The day before, a British man tried to break into a Harley Davidson shop named Heavy Duty Bikes in IJmuiden, which is close to Haarlem, when he was heavily beaten by two employees. The store is known to be frequented by members of the Hells Angels club and the burglar seems to have paid dearly for that mistake: he is still in the hospital. In a weird twist the men who stopped the burglar have now themselves been placed under arrest by police.
