Well this is ironic. First of all I don't watch Sons of Anarchy. I think it's an absolutely ridiculous show like Breaking Bad which glorifies crystal meth labs. However, I noticed on Wikipedia that it claims Sonny Barger played Lenny "The Pimp" Janowitz on the TV series Sons of Anarchy. That is ironic indeed since his pal Odis Garrett was convicted of running a prostitution ring for the Hells Angels in San Fransisco called the Love Nest. Barger attended the trial and had him honoured for years on the West Vegas prison lock down page long after Odis was convicted of ordering the murder of Margo Compton and her twin seven year old daughters for testifying against him.
Evidently, Canada isn't the only place the Hells Angels use violence to obtain a monopoly on the drug trade. They have been convicted of trafficking crystal meth in Kentucky, South Carolina and Massachusetts as well. Trent Willet and Greg Domey were both honoured on Hells Angels prison lock down support pages after their trafficking crystal meth convictions.
In fact, Agent K, a number of Hells Angels (including Rusty Coones and David Labrava) and long time but former Hells Angels member (Chuck Zito) play roles in the show.
ReplyDeleteHey I take exception at the Breaking Bad slur. It does NOT glorify meth labs or the taking of drugs in any way. The show shows clearly however the hoplessness of drug addiction and the horrible consequences of manufacturing the same. Nobodies lives were enriched in the series and everybody involved instead paid a terrible price.
ReplyDeleteYeah I disagree. If Breaking Bad didn't glorify meth labs they wouldn't be making toy meth labs for kids and fake crystal meth candy for kids. That is just plain messed up.
