My best friend @ 16 & I....that was in early '60s..... crossed paths with Hells Angels in Oakland. Some rude guys came towards us as we were walking across the street to 'Monkey Wards'. Outta no where was Sonny & a few others who, quite civilly, chased off the guys then just milled around quietly as we went into the store. When we came back out carrying our treasures they were still hanging about peacefully. When we got into our car & drove off, they all got on their bikes & left. Sure wish I could find my best friend now. I finally lost contact after severe traumas in the '90s. When I was put out @ nite sometimes by my stepmother, she would let me sleep @ her house every time I showed up @ her door in the dark. HUGS2U ❤ Charlene
So you’ve met every single member or do you believe everything the internet tells you 🤦🏼♂️you can’t blame a whole group for something a handful of members do 🤷🏼
@@GeneralSherm No ladies are allowed to be full patch members and no police are allowed to be members of the gang .Could it be that too many members have police records and some of the gang's goals are to commit crimes for financial prosperity , such as selling poison /drugs to the public?
This guy was a true legend and a real man in a world of soft soy boy cowards. Ride on Sonny. Hope you are hanging out with Tramp, Magoo and Skip somewhere right now!
Nope...he was a true @ss hole criminal and the world is a just a little bit better since he's gone. And when YOU are gone it will get even better.....!! In the mean time you aren't making any "political statements" with that stupid beard, OK?.....ZZ Top isn't looking for a member!
R.i.p.Sunny Barger I didn't know you personally but I always looked up to u with a high level of respect my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this tough time
This is controversial but if you live in Oakland or sf you’re going to run into these people. They’ve always been very respectful and nice. I can’t speak for what they do because idk but I’ve never personally had a problem with them.
My deepest and most sincere condolences to us all for the loss of Sonny Barger. he was truly one of America's greatest and most legendary pioneers. And a better man than ANY politician. Ride the wind.
I think about Sonny Barger during holidays. My family mostly passed away but Sonny gave a legacy. Toys for tots. I’ve been looking up places to help, it so difficult groceries and impossible. I am not rich I’m below standard middle income. But we are fortunate we are able to scrape by. I’m very thankful because Sonny did put something in my heart growing up and to help each other as much as we can and Christmas is for kids and family and a nice dinner. Sonny Barger and the Hells angel helped me growing up from a toddler to teenage years
My mom dated him back in the day. I wish I could have met him. So sorry he is gone. My heart goes out to him and I wish I knew more of the club but I don't. Love him always will. All hells angels must respect him....
Leaders are born, not created. Barger had direction, and the brains to make it work. Sonny, lead by example, that's why he was respected. Oh, the stories he could tell us. Rest well, barger
@@darrenlewis4423 I grew up right around the corner from the H.A.s clubhouse. They sold my mom plenty of meth, not to mention other family members that have died from their dope. They ain't the heroes that all you week minded people make them out to be. Oh, and let's not forget the time when a couple of junkies robbed my buisness for all of my products and traded it all to them for meth. At least these red and white bikers were nice enough to sell my products back to me. Yeah, real swell guy's. Hopefully a Marvin Heymeyer clone demolishes their club house and shiny bikes.
Three things Sonny Barger inspired me to do . Never give up Motorcycles . Stop Smoking . Get the biggest Harley I can afford . And for that I thank you Sir .
RIP Sir, People could say whatever they may but, The Hell's Angels looked out for over 100 Different Charities.. Thanks for helping me,my family in desperate needs God Bless You Sonny REST IN PARADISE.
First off my condolences to the family . Sonny Barger was a great man. All those who knew him . Would say so live and respect to 81 and may you rest in peace Sonny Barger
@@GeneralSherm LOL...43 years a bio-medical engineer (do you even know what that is?) I've accomplished more in those years than you have in your your whole life.
@@kendallevans4079 so you wanna reply to this comment of mine but not the other ones? How bout the time I replied to you and the comments were gone I know you deleted them 🤣 don’t deny it for someone that claims to have a life you have no problem being a keyboard warrior while hiding behind a computer screen 🖕🏻 it’s comical

There was a 1983 movie titled "Hells Angels Forever," and one of the songs on the soundtrack was "Ride on, Sonny" by Johnny Paycheck. One of the lines was "That club (the Angels) would ride straight into hell as long as Sonny was there stoking the fire." And I don't doubt for a billionth of a second that they would.
I was born and raised in Oakland. The only time I saw Sonny in public was when he was waiting in line at an order window at a hamburger joint. He had a large "Sonny" tattoo on the side of one of his huge biceps. It was in the early 1970's some 50 yrs. ago. No disrespect, but I remember thinking he could probably go to the head of the line and nobody would say anything; but there he was standing in line waiting his turn like everybody else.
My name is bobby from dartmouth nova Scotia canada Ismail not a gang member I never met sonny But I know guys who Have they all have the ut most Respect for him I remember the 13 tribe Who later became hells angels I would have liked to meet him regards to family And friends his spirit lives on bobby
I hope on the other side, all the MCs get along, so that when he gets there everything will be chill, and I hope he get's a chance to hang out with Jerry Garcia. There's a lot going on on the other side, I would guess.
When we do right no one remembers, When we do wrong no one forgets. Rest easy, Rest easy 💔 😢
Besides military, what else? Right that is?
😢
I'm sure you wept for Hitler too
True
What about Martin Luther king?
R.I.P Sonny Barger. MLLH&R. Deepest Respect. Condolences to the 81 world wide. Condolences to his family and friends 🙏 Ride Free Sonny.
"respect"??? for what?? he was a outlaw/criminal/@sshole....! The world got just a tiny bit bitter when he died...good riddance!!!
I wonder how Sonny felt about the drugs many of his fellow club members distributed in the community.
I thought they were disturbing toys to children?😂🤣😂🤣
@Tribhuvan Shekhawat I've come to conclude the same some time ago; there are good Angels and there are bad Angels.
Rest In Peace OG, a true legend!!💯

Nowhere.
Mick Jagger had a problem with Sonny Barger at Altamont California in 1969 !!!!
Absolute legend that will never be forgotten.
Who?
I am proud to say I met and shook hands with Sonny at a book signing in the early 2000s. Rest in peace Sonny, gone but will never be forgotten.
Some years ago, I left a a birthday greeting on his website. I regret never having met him or talked to him in person.
So he is kind right?
I can only imagine all the people whose lives were ruined (or taken) because of the Hell's Angels and others.
Yes I had a run in with them years ago ,I was just driving along and they went through a red light and ran me off the road .
Trust me he's in a dark place..and paying for all his actions.

Yikes, you looked up to a murdering drug dealer that introduced thousands upon thousands to methamphetamine? You need new heros bro!
My condolences to the family. May u rest on peace .you will never be forgotten
You may be gone but you'll never be forgotten may you rest in peace sir.
Sonny has been quoted as saying...make as much money as you can and get out....brotherhood..yeah right..
Time to pay the piper beybey!
So he went to Hell and is burning there, what a legend, what a great man
So you went to TH-cam and decided to start pounding your keyboard, what a troll, what a keyboard warrior
Oh and another thing............... hells angels are and have been cancer to society and this country FROM THE BEGINNING!!!!!! TRUTH!!!!!
Times have changed, ask current members what it’s like nowadays TRUTH!!!!!

Let’s see

But but “CoUrT DoCuMeNtS”
I remember when I was a kid. He was very good friends with a friend in Oakland I’m San Francisco but he always gave gifts
I'm not associated with any club but rip sonny the world needs more like you
Despite his run-ins with the law, I consider him a man among men, and that is not a title that I bestow lightly!
