9:22 💔 My heart absolutely broke for his poor mother! I can't even begin to imagine the sorrow and the pain that she felt at that exact moment,...pulling back the sheet, and having to see her son's lifeless body. God bless her, and help her to find some peace in the midst of this tragedy. 🙏💕
Over the years I've ridden with and partied with many HA's and most of them with a few exceptions are really decent people that I'm honored to have known I suspect Gerry Tobin was one of these; a decent man who was targeted for no other reason than who he rode with and whose colors he chose to fly. And for this he ended up paying for it with his life.
ShinobiWaNeko I agree although I don't know any hells angels! My mother had breast cancer and when loom bands were all the rage my daughter was selling her wares to make money to donate to the chemo ward! A group of bikers invited her to go to one of their get together to help her make more money, all the bikers were phenomenal with both my kids and she ended up making over £150 just that night alone! At the end of the night they got her up on stage and gave her a box of chocolates and a t shirt for her efforts! Everyone there was absolutely lovely and since then I've always had a very high opinion of bikers xx
The guy is reporting from what looks like a prison toilet / horrible stationery cupboard in a third world "call centre". Should we send help? Toilet cupboard? Water closet? Post-It poops? Waterboarding wee-porting?
Thank you, you are very intuitive. My family background is one of those nightmare scenarios written about in the old detective magazines of the '50s. Very rural, we were isolated & my parents were sick. My father was a BRUTAL tyrant & my mom a doormat. There were 8 of us kids. We endured it all: torture, isolation, incest, starvation & degradation. My sister & I were close - protecting each other. She blossomed into a very beautiful & loving caring deep woman. I miss her. Thank you again.
Bloody hell! I've been through a lot & consider myself a "man of the world", but that is a gut-wrenching story. I'm not sure how you've managed to make it till now, but I sincerely hope you're making sure you have an outlet for discussing your life so that it never gets too on top of you. Has your sister's murderer been found? Are u learning anything in this show? I'm not even sure what I could say. I just wish the best for you; your story is deeply moving and a testament to your strength!!!
Wow. This is a fascinating video to me. Before she was killed in Oregon in 2005, my older sister told me a fantastic story. When 19 she left her husband & baby son & moved in with the Devil's Disciples in Worcester. Ma. The place was raided by cops & torn to pieces - literally. She & one of the gang then biked to Boston & the guy shot a Hell's Angels member in the head while cruising the Boston Expressway. She said she was on the back of the cycle & had no warning. Maybe now I believe her!
Yep - same with the street gangs of LA and the Knife gangs of London - it's pointless lunacy. (Just found this channel so watching all the vids 10 years late)
His poor mother. I have a hard time feeling sorry for these bikers because they live to instill fear in people. It's always the innocents they leave behind who have to deal with their bullshit.
I remember that day. I had been to Stratford and had seen lots of bikers around in the town. When I heard what had happened to Gerry, I realised that I would have been heading north on the A46 and onto the M40 southbound at about the same time. There were quite a few bikers on the A46 at the times and several going in my direction on the M40.
She was killed in an auto "accident". She was driving her van, had her 2 dogs with her and was broadsided or "T-boned" by a speeding SUV. The driver of the other vehicles fled the scene. The pets were severely injured but survived. Thanks for asking.
im really glad theyre explaining what IS known about the culture. at 1st, when the host mentioned tobins patches being ripped off his jacket, i was like, "wth?", so when it was explained, i was appreciative of the knowledge. grateful not 2 again, ignorantly jump 2 the wrong conclusions or assumptions about the actions taken amongst the group.
Life is odd at best for ALL of us. I really didn't realize how strange mine was until I started getting older and in everyday conversations would sometimes tell about my life - when asked. You get "acclimated", especially if it's from childhood. Only when I went out into the world did I discover how horrible my early existence was. I have been told that there is something "different" in my brain that allowed me to survive these ordeals. I think I am "analytical", nearly to a default .
I am really sorry to hear that, I dont know what made me ask but something in your story made her sound like a tortured soul I hope she is resting in peace.
Ha, ha, the shot of "Peace River, Alberta" at 9:46 is actually a shot of Montreal. Which, while inaccurate, is ironically appropriate since Montreal was the scene of a biker war between the Hells Angels and the Rock Machine in the 1990s.
In the USA in 1980’s they defeated a Govt Organised Crime conviction, bc they had very good lawyers and the organisation/members are very sophisticated, intelligent and organised.
From my experience MC's are only allowed to wear their cuts if they are riding their bike. If they are driving a car I believe it's not allowed. One of their laws. Might be different here in Australia, but most of the larger clubs are world clubs.
@chippzanuffu studies have shown that the HA or any other MC have the same percentage of criminal activity as the non biker population- so to define them as criminal is erroneous
well I am very sorry I didn't know about them before, I will try to check out the history as you suggested, thank you, I just don't like people killing each other dispite what gang, race, colour, relgion etc
you must not know alot about MC's then dude...the Outlaws claim to have started before the angles way back in 1935, were as the angles started around 1943-1944. check out the history of this stuff its really interesting. and you'll find that the outlaws are just as big as the angles.
In America/Canada undercover police have infiltrated the biker gangs even become fully patched members, several convictions for serious crimes have followed as a result of this infiltration/ surveillance.
Although I was second to oldest, all my brothers and sisters are dead now. The last one to go was a middle brother. He shot himself in the heart in 2005. My youngest brother hanged himself from a ceiling fan when he was 20. Two brothers died of cancer as did a middle sister & my youngest sister was found murdered (stabbed to death) in a garbage dump. I attempted suicide once as a child when I struck my mother ONCE - after fighting back during a severe beating. I am an animal lover.
what I do wonder is why did they shoot him they a had car they could have just used the car to knock him off and it could easily have seemed to be a road accident, although perhaps it would have been less certain to kill him
It doesn't matter whether the victim was an idiot or not, justice must be done. I know people that are within Hells Angels and they are genuinely nice people who most of the time abide by the law. They are extremely reclusive. No I would never join a gang, but I love motorcycles and would happily ride alongside some of its members outside of the gang if invited to.
But why do that to a nice 👍 man real man Gerard was a wise man I never met him I’ve been around motorbike is all my life and sooner be around them and to be honest I feel safe around then xx they do a lot of good xx
Hells angels would never allow a church going goody goody do gooder into their club lest they turn on them. So I call B.S. on this Gerry being a decent guy who loves to ride motorcycle and fixing them for fun.
3000 deaths in 60 years around the world in biker conflicts ? To me those stats seem very very fine to me. There’s bloody 2500 a year in Australia alone for suicide ? And around 18,000 per year for heart disease ? So 3000 deaths over 60 years around the world no issues with that ..
Hells angels lol they got battered by the blundells lol they wasn't bad then lol they're on camera getting led away by the police for their own protection 😂 big tough biker guy's 😂 didn't look tough then
Watching the mother suffer with the memory of identifying her son was heart-breaking :(.
9:22 💔 My heart absolutely broke for his poor mother! I can't even begin to imagine the sorrow and the pain that she felt at that exact moment,...pulling back the sheet, and having to see her son's lifeless body. God bless her, and help her to find some peace in the midst of this tragedy. 🙏💕

I am a black woman that has sung and played at biker clubs and they treated me like a queen.
His mum crying got me teary. I wanted to give her a massive hug
his mom crying tore me up inside.
He looked so sweet and kind. Why would a sweet, nice looking guy like that be part of a biker gang?smh
Why is the interview being done in the loo
Sounds better. .Acoustics....
maybe had diarhea
The guy is reporting from what looks like a prison toilet / horrible stationery cupboard in a third world "call centre". Should we send help?
Toilet cupboard? Water closet? Post-It poops? Waterboarding wee-porting?
A bizarre choice of venue.

8:30 very, very powerful and heartbreaking, completely choked
These biker groups are beyond pathetic. I bet even they themselves don't know why on earth they all hate each other. Utter madness.
A bit like football hooligans, I mean fans...
Yep - same with the street gangs of LA and the Knife gangs of London - it's pointless lunacy. (Just found this channel so watching all the vids 10 years late)
The “Rivalry” is about territory and control of serious criminal activities, drugs, extortion other organised crimes.
Heart breaking story!!!
This man kept it a secret from his family? Why keep it a secret if your not doing anything shady? RIP Gerry! :(

not talking to police or journalists isn't secretive it's sensible

I felt so bad for his mom. 🙏🙏everyday 👵😎😎

It is not a bathroom. There is mo bath just some cubicles and sinks.
That poor mother :(
well I am very sorry I didn't know about them before, I will try to check out the history as you suggested, thank you, I just don't like people killing each other dispite what gang, race, colour, relgion etc

1st time i heard of outlaws, they can't compare with the hells angels, who have been around much longer,
not even in the dictionary I think it's a misconbobulation of the word malleable.
What a waste ov good man rip.respect two all hell's angels
In America/Canada undercover police have infiltrated the biker gangs even become fully patched members, several convictions for serious crimes have followed as a result of this infiltration/ surveillance.

In America it’s a vehihihihile the poms call it a mowta. It’s a fucking CAR 🚙
The super looks like Karl Malden.
They left the licence plates???
the word gang is made bad, for not all gangs are bad, such as the ones that protect the public, yet I know what you mean,
Not angles but angels.
👏👏👏💯
what I do wonder is why did they shoot him
they a had car
they could have just used the car to knock him off and it could easily have seemed to be a road accident, although perhaps it would have been less certain to kill him
