Apparently the Hell's Angels are coming to Clemson in late July/early August.
First thing that comes to my mind is.....why? Why Clemson? Clemson is a small college town. What draw would they have to a group like this? It's not even football season? Just seems sorta odd.
I've heard all sorts of things about the Hell's Angels - from scum-of-the-earth to not-as-bad-as-you've-heard. Not sure what to think. Clemson just seems like an odd pick.
What am I missing here?
Just unbelievable naivety and stupidity in this thread. Not you OP, I understand your original question and kind of wondered the same thing. So I reached out to a former colleague in law enforcement. He's not sure of "why clemson" for the specific site, but make no mistake, there is a method to their madness. They can have a gathering roughly half-way between charlotte and atlanta . Easy access to 85, 26, and not too far from 95. In a semi-rural area with less sophisticated law enforcement and lower numbers. And don't make another mistake, they are coming to party too. 1%ers love college towns. Booze, women, etc.
To the folks on here who don't think it's a big deal, or theyre not as bad as they seem, or "all of them aren't badasses". Well, wake up. The HAs are one of the most widespread crime syndicates in America. Responsible for countless murders, rapes, dope deaths, and multitudes of other crimes. I don't give a crap how much you think they've "given back". They've extracted many times that in dollars and death. And just in case you want to hang out with a full patch member, cause he's one of the nice ones, dont. If he's patched in, he's not a nice guy. And the ones who hang around as affiliates or otherwise, they're on their way to being just as bad.
I spent many years doing investigations in the prisons. Every white prison gang always traced back to some affiliation with a 1% biker gang. Often it was the HAs. Do not be fooled, Sons of Anarchy didn't even scratch the surface.
