Default Good Sonny Barger story...

Interesting little storybelow on Sonny. Sounds like the man is loving life and freedom. He's doing a ride on April 6th I think I'm gonna check out since it's open to the public. Read one of his books, he sounds like he was a crazy dude back in the day

The guy is nothing but a criminal. What has he done to help his fellow man or better society? Not a damn thing. I'm glad you didn't mind your tax dollars supporting him while he was in prison. I'm more impressed by the average joe that works 9-5, pays his taxes, and stays out of trouble. Here's a little rundown on Sonny.

I agree paying taxes sucks, but what alternative do we have?

"His mother had left him with his alcoholic father and an older sister when he was just four months old. He was suspended from school several times for assaulting teachers, and he liked to fight other boys.... He stresses that while he had lost interest in school he spent his time reading or working at a grocery store,...he enlisted in the army at age sixteen..."

Hmmm, sounds exactly like me. Except the age was seventeen.

I guess we all have to make decisions in life.
I made mine, he made his. You make yours.
