One thought on “Police Raid the “Clubhouse” on Douglas Street

  1. there’s a lot of gaslighting from friends of the bikers saying to “leave them alone” and that they are “good guys”…

    how many “good guys” get into multiple illegal firearm exchanges in their life, let alone 2x in 2 days? give your head a shake!
