I would think it is no harder than some other groups, who didn't make their participation so public. I think the problem is that they haven't been as sexy of an organization to go after.



The structure and way they operate make them tricky. The overlap with other groups doesn't help.


There's a famous book than I can't think of the the name of that recounts a UC op inside a biker gang. They're just nasty to deal with.

I hate to sound all Elliott Ness, but how's it any more difficult than taking down an alleged mafia family? They're insulated. They use other groups (local gangs). They're structured. Rarely does the leader actually get his hands dirty once he is a leader. If ya think of the book, let me know.

Under and Alone is the title, I think. It's a ATF guy.


Remember how they got Capone? Yeah, that wasn't exactly easy.

frick that go read "Out Bad" or any other book by Donald Charles Davis if you really want to try and understand what this subset of culture is all about. Or go watch Dead in 5 Heartbeats for a little glimpse into that world.




Stay away from anything by Jay Dobyns he's a liar to both the club he infiltrated and the Agency he worked for.

I've read more than I care to about that culture.

I was just directing him to something from an officers perspective and how tricky it can be.

Out Bad is written pretty neutral, but you know that because you know who the writer is.

I was on the biker stuff for my first year. Isn't that the guy who basically said the ATF was killing bikers and trying to start something between the Mongols and Angels?

Queen was a guy in way over his head and did what his handlers told him to do to save his his sorry arse

DCD

Honestly though, I've forgotten half the stuff since I haven't touched a biker case in 9+ months.

He wrote the facts as supplied by public records and what was told by sources on both sides. Seeing as he always keeps his sources anonymous they generally shoot straight with him or so I've been told.


Been told that by other reporters who are envious of some of the places he has access to

Where is Black Sponge? My crew is riding to Birmingham this week and I want to make sure he doesn't need an extra set of hands.

I'm back and I appreciate your concern. I do believe though that I'll be fine.
