@Dan Collins - you might like Hell Ride then, it was okay, but I felt like I would appreciate it a bit more if I were a biker enthusiast.

Am I the only one who's strangely sad about this? In recent years, seeing a Mongol at an after-hours club was kind of like seeing a grizzly in the wild. You know they're dangerous, but you feel lucky, even honored, to come into proximity. Once a couple years ago, a friend was in town, and we decided to head down to Amoeba right as a Mongol funeral procession was working its way down Sunset Blvd. The literally hundreds, if not thousands, of bikes coming down the street, the members wearing their patches and all their finery, made me oddly proud to be living in L.A. Of course, I've probably seen every Roger Corman biker movie from the sixties, so perhaps I'm just a biker enthusiast.

Damn, damn, damn. This is going to get ugly.

If you read the LATimes article, sounds like this gang was run with more sophistication and organization than Lehman Brothers, AIG, and Freddy and Fannie. Sadly - they don't get a bailout.

This is a hell of a way to promote "Sons of Anarchy."
