Summary

George Christie, a long-time member and former chapter president of the Hells Angels in Ventura, California, discusses his experiences with the club, including surviving rival clubs, internal beef, and numerous federal indictments. George debates whether the Hells Angels are a criminal organization or just a motorcycle club with some problematic members. He discusses internal power struggles within the Hells Angels, particularly with Sunny Barger, and reflects on the challenges law enforcement faces in prosecuting the gang due to its complex structure and autonomous operations. Now retired, Christie has distanced himself from the club and reflects on his past, emphasizing that while the Hells Angels engaged in criminal acts, they also sought to maintain a certain code and order within their ranks.
