Yet, as it seems, when a kid is in need, the chapters, rivalries and all the outlaw rhetoric fade away. This is what happened this weekend in Fresno, more precisely at the Poverello House for kids.
The bikers donated 30 bikes (as in bicycles, not motorcycles) and about 500 toys to the House, in an attempt to make the approaching Christmas a little sweeter for the kids whose parents can't afford to offer them more.
According to kmph.com, this is not the first time the Fresno Hells Angels donated for the kids at the Poverello House. In fact, this is the 12th year the bearded bikers showed their support for the Fresno kids.
"People read what they want to read, and believe what they want to believe, we believe in these kids. We want to make sure to bring these toys here for these kids to have a great Christmas," Merl Hefferman, secretary of the Fresno Hells Angels was quoted as saying by kmph.com.
Just to remind you what or who Hells Angels are, it's enough to tell you the US Department of Justice consider them to be an active criminal threat on six continents and involved in non violent crimes like the transportation and distribution of cocaine, hashish, heroin, LSD (lysergic acid diethylamide), ecstasy, PCP (phencyclidine) and diverted pharmaceuticals.
