I don't know if this is silly or cool.

I'm bumping this back up because I'm curious to hear peoples opinion about one of my replies. I'm basically worried that some of these biker gangs could actually be more of a hindrance than a help. Well, maybe not the Germans and the Dutch but if our American groups join in I just don't know how great that would be.

This skirmish is as good as done if the Hells Angels join in.

ISIS is having so bad image in western world so the bikers should get plenty of positive attention for this. I'm not sure what kind of reputation do Dutch and German biker gangs have in their home countries but my guess is that not very good.

When police are raiding Finnish biker clubs they usually find illegal alcohol selling, some drugs and couple of mandatory firearms. And they tend to fight with themselves and with other clubs.

Usually they don't bother the normal population and they might even be quite polite neighbors/customers. But when they party they tend to cause some mess.

I would suppose that our biker gangs might have it hard resist to join the Dutch and German clubs. Of course if they are in bad terms with the others then they might remain home...

I don't know, I'll be honest, some of our biker gangs in the U.S. are pretty down right terrible. I mean there's the yuppy type but then there's the type that straight out murder and rape people. I can't imagine the Dutch and Germans are quite as bad which is why I have more respect for them but if these Hells Angles guys or some of these Mexican gangs that are equally as violent want to meander on over and shoot at ISIS than I'm alright with that. I just worry though that they're not as trained as the Kurds and could almost be a hindrance.

We ha a lot of different biker clubs here. But some of these belong to bigger groups such as Hell's Angels and Bandidos and they are so called "1% groups". We had one group that had overly violent members but they all went to prison really quickly.

1% group activities do contain some criminal activities but these or mostly drug smuggling and selling some other illegal stuff. I guess they also do underworld debt collecting and other similar jobs that cannot be done legally.

Some members are of course utterly mad and do also a lot worse crimes but as a group they try still as a group to be polite against the normal population but they will still keep intimidating appearance. Most of the members still have some daytime professions too.

The Finnish police is quite effective so they have to keep quite low profile or their clubs will be raided. The last raids that were in the news were done because some women said that they were raped in the clubs premises. And of course they found illegal stuff during the raids.

One of the clubs did a really terribly big crime in this year. Their old club burned and they wanted to construct a new one. But they were too hasty and started building it before their construction permit was approved!

So they actually had filed a construction permit but the city people said that it was lacking in some details and it didn't get approved And this was coming from they groups with most violent history.

Do we get to say "These people don't represent any countries in the USA or EU. Don't judge an entire population in it's entirety by the actions of a select few rogue groups."

Joking aside, I am not sure how this will go. If they start butchering civilians I don't see that as a positive thing in any way- and it may have a big impact in home countries.
