Judge Rules The Mongols M.C. Can Keep Their Patch

.....and Darth just came. Biker thugs rejoice.
A California judge delivered a blow Thursday to a decade-long effort by federal prosecutors to strip the Mongols motorcycle gang of its trademarked logo, ruling such a move would be unconstitutional.
U.S. District Court Judge David O. Carter in Santa Ana nullified a first-of-its-kind jury verdict that would have given the government control of the logo of a Mongol warrior astride a chopper-style motorcycle and two other trademarks.
Ordering forfeiture of the trademarks would violate the First Amendment rights to freedom of association and Eighth Amendment protections against excessive penalties, Carter said.

I wish they’d ban those posers from wearing sons of anarchy patches.

Sounds like a victory for freedom to me

Those frickers are no joke man...seen a few incidents over the years at biker meet ups. Don't mess with them.

The patches make it easy to identify those retards

Don’t ever mention the name, “Billy Queen” around a Mongol. It won’t end well for you.

What was the premise for wanting to strip it? I will lmao if it is because it's not politically correct.

Yep. Very handy. Like neck tats, Confederate flags, and saggy pants, they are handy markers to alert normal folks to avoid the idiots.

Just read his book. Pretty amazing he was an undercover cop who became a fully patched member.

Why did the feds want to take their patch?
Posted on 3/3/19 at 7:55 am to 14&Counting
Good. It's just a bunch of doctors, lawyers and everyday guys wanting to ride around with a bunch of other guys dressed in leather and all wearing the same patch. I don't see a problem with it.

I think it was the State but it was because, they argued, that the patch was used for intimidation and associated with unlawful activity.
Basically wasted a bunch of public money pursuing an action that clearly violates the Constitution

Yes, that dude lived a successful but nerve wracking double life. He’s one of the great undercover guys who is in the same highly respected class as Joe Pistone (aka Donnie Brasco) who infiltrated the Bonanno Crime Family of NYC and Jay Dobyns (aka Bird) who infiltrated the Skull Valley, AZ chapter of the Hells Angels.
