Pretending to be part of a motorcycle club when you are not is dangerous and ill-advised. Likewise, don’t screw around with swords unless you know what you’re doing. Don’t attempt to LARP this game in public without first alerting the local authorities. A wealth of resources exists for anyone who might want to learn more about real- world samurai or motorcycle clubs. For samurai facts, start with Hagakure, by Yamamoto Tsunetomo. Samurai: The Code of the Warrior by Thomas Louis and Tommy Ito is another good introductory text and a gateway into greater pieces. For a look into modern Japanese motorcycle culture, check out Speed Tribes by Karl Taro Greenfeld—and listen to the music of Guitar Wolf while you’re reading it. For info on American motorcycle clubs, avoid Gangland and mid-century exploitation films and go right to the source. Sonny Barger, long-time president of Hell’s Angels MC, has written a number of informative books and interesting thematic fiction. Start withHell’s Angel and work outward from there. Understand, though, that in both fact and fiction, MC and samurai culture and history have been rife with misogyny. This is not something you are expected to include in your games, but it needs be mentioned here. It’s impossible to source these inspirations without also sourcing the cultural contrasts with present states of affairs. Geishas and “old ladies” are just as much a part of those tales as swords and motorcycles, and for me to avoid mentioning them simply for the sake of light-stepping controversy would be a disservice to the source material. While your own stories may certainly be different, you should take the time to digest these cultural differences, and understand their origins. If you’ve never ridden a motorcycle, you’re missing out, my friend. Take your local Motorcycle Safety Foundation course, get yourself a learner’s permit, and go for a ride sometime. It will change your life. Riding a motorcycle and being a samurai have a bit in common: both require a certain acceptance of one’s own mortality. Rubber side down, my friends.

Gemeenten, politie, Openbaar Ministerie (OM), Belastingdienst (waaronder FIOD) en Koninklijke Marechaussee dragen bij aan deze aanpak die in 2012 is gestart. Deze rapportage gaat in op de trends, ontwikkelingen en resultaten van 2020. 1. Trends en ontwikkelingen Het LSO is zeer tevreden dat de OMG’s zich – net als de afgelopen jaren – minder in de publieke ruimte laten zien. Dat is het resultaat van de inzet van de samenwerkende overheidspartners binnen de integrale aanpak.

    UNCLE WICK Written by Gabe Delahaye EXT. DUBAI - NIGHT The glittering skyscrapers of oil rich Dubai loom over the Arabian sea. We pass through them and down the coast... ...to a PALATIAL ESTATE: luscious green gardens in the middle of the desert, an olympic-sized swimming pool, ARMED GUARDS lining the roof and patrolling the perimeter... We push into... INT. LIBRARY - PALATIAL ESTATE - DUBAI - CONTINUOUS House music thuds in the background. There is a party happening at the house, but this BRASS AND LEATHER LIBRARY is where serious business happens. ANGLE ON: an IMPERIOUS CRIME LORD sipping tea at the head of a massive antique table, surrounded by his HENCHMEN. This is HAMZA (60s) head of “The Nizam,” a league of assassins. HAMZA We’re not having this discussion again. The peace with Skalnikoff and The Colony has been to everyone’s financial benefit. They take the lion’s share of western assignments, but the Nizam controls the east, and with it-- TARIK This isn’t peace. This is Skalnikoff waiting for our guard to drop, so he can strike. If you don’t come for him, he’ll come for you, father. ANGLE ON: TARIK (30s) at the opposite end of the table. He has the bearing of an ungrateful prince: controlled by his father and desperate to take his place. HAMZA I admire your ambition, my son, but you still have much to learn. In the background, the CLUB MUSIC cuts out and we hear SCREAMS. The men at the table perk up, on high alert. A HENCHMAN peaks out the window, shakes his head to signal: the roof is empty.

  • Outlaw Motorcycle Clubs and Organized Crime

    Outlaw Motorcycle Clubs and Organized Crime

    Klaus von Lampe and Arjan Blokland Outlaw Motorcycle Clubs and Organized Crime ABSTRACT Outlaw motorcycle clubs have spread across the globe. Their members have been associated with serious crime, and law enforcement often perceives them to be a form of organized crime. Outlaw bikers are disproportionately engaged in crime, but the role of the club itself in these crimes remains unclear. Three scenarios describe possible relations between clubs and the crimes of their members. In the “bad apple” scenario, members individually engage in crime; club membership may offer advantages in enabling and facilitating offending. In the “club within a club” scenario, members engage in crimes separate from the club, but because of the number of members involved, including high-ranking members, the club itself appears to be taking part. The club can be said to function as a criminal organization only when the formal organizational chain of command takes part in organization of the crime, lower level members regard senior members’ leadership in the crime as legitimate, and the crime is generally understood as “club business.” All three scenarios may play out simultaneously within one club with regard to different crimes. Fact and fiction interweave concerning the origins, evolution, and prac- tices of outlaw motorcycle clubs. What Mario Puzo’s (1969) acclaimed novel The Godfather and Francis Ford Coppola’s follow-up film trilogy did for public and mafiosi perceptions of the mafia, Hunter S. Thompson’s Electronically published June 3, 2020 Klaus von Lampe is professor of criminology at the Berlin School of Economics and Law. Arjan Blokland is professor of criminology and criminal justice at Leiden University, Obel Foundation visiting professor at Aalborg University, and senior researcher at the Netherlands Institute for the Study of Crime and Law Enforcement.

I read this book in one weekend, which means that it was captivating enough to keep me turning the pages, and the simplicity of the oral style didn't hold things up either. In after thought, I was right! I personally loved this book and thought it was very interesting to read, and would gladly recommend it to amyone. With the advent of Thompson's magazine and newspaper articles, as well as his pronounced book, the Hell's Angels, with Sonny Barger as their president and spokesman, were getting a lot of publicity, both good and bad. Jul 12, Erin rated it it was ok. FBI informant Anthony Tait plays a strong part in the following court case. That said, I read the book as a big fat joke, and appreciated that he did not make any money off of me. Mar 18, Mikelkpoet rated it it was amazing. Marek Publishers, I listened to the audio, and while I can't fault anything he This book is listed on GR with the main page genre of 'autobiography'. Barger features prominently in Hunter S.
