Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Sonny Barger for Trump

Ralph Hubert “Sonny” Barger, a still active member of the Hells Angels Motorcycle Club and an icon of American individualism, announced on his Facebook page yesterday that he is moving back to Oakland.

And, when he gets there he will register to vote. And, after he registers he intends to vote for Donald Trump for President in November.

Barger was a founder of the Hells Angels charter in Oakland, California and was influential in uniting the Oakland charter with separate and distinct Hells Angels clubs in San Bernardino, California, Fontana, California and elsewhere. He transferred from the Oakland charter to the new, Cave Creek charter of the club in October 1998. He has not explained his reasons for transferring back to the Bay Area.

Voting For Trump

However, earlier this month Barger expressed his intention to vote for Donald Trump. On August 13, Barger wrote:

“I, along with Donald Trump, believe the election process is rigged. The politicians and media make a joke of the statement, ‘It is rigged.’ If a person can win the popular vote – but lose the election – I believe, along with Trump, the process is rigged – and so should every other American whose vote is not counted. In some elections, the winner is elected before some state votes are even counted. If that is not rigged, what do you call it? I think people, along with myself, are tired of the politicians and media running the elections and telling some Americans your vote doesn’t count, because we’ve had the process since time began. I, for one, am voting for Trump, because it’s time to change.”

That same day, a pseudonymous commenter on Barger’s Facebook page lectured him that he wouldn’t be able to vote because he was a convicted felon. Barger replied, “Yes I am a felon and I can vote and I will be voting for Trump.” Barger was right. The commenter was wrong.

Enfranchising Felons

But it might be a little easier for Barger to vote for Trump in California than in Arizona. Barger has been convicted of multiple felonies dating to 1963 when he was convicted of felony possession of marijuana. He was last convicted – of participating in an interstate bombing conspiracy – in 1987. He was paroled in 1992. The last three pages of Barger’s memoir, Hell’s Angel, list his 21 brushes with the law.

In Arizona, a person convicted of two or more felonies must petition a judge or secure a pardon before he can vote. In California, voting rights for convicted felons are automatically restored upon completion of parole.

I would have guessed he was long dead.

i can't believe he is still alive and croaking! i met Sonny and pals in the late sixties when they would make 4th of July runs on Bass Lake Ca. I was born and raised there abouts and the Angles had their own campground set aside for the 4th. i rode a Triumph Bonney back then and those guy's always complimented that bike. never really had any problems with them outside of them beating each other up.
one 4th my older sister and i were at the Frostie Freeze in Oakhurst and were surrounded by Angles. my sister has a sweettooth like no one else and ordered 100 jaw breakers. the big ones the size of a quarter. those guy's about crapped. one said Dang Girl you will be toothless by 20! wasnt to far off!

He's the real deal.

I trust Sonny more than I trust Hillary.

For one thing, he's likely had a lot fewer people killed.

Sonny ain't dead but he looks and sounds that way. IIRC he did a cameo in Sons of Anarchy and unless you were up on your 81 - you'd never know who he was.

Cant imagine the idiot is even legal to vote. Just saw legal in Cali. Hah! Go figure

Never understood the fascination with a bunch of grubby retards on bikes?

this is not a good guy. he ran a worldwide crime ring that dealt in the worst drugs imaginable. his people killed and tortured and intimidated. he and his ilk are complete POS's.

And he's still better than Hillary...

ya well, that goes without saying. ABC baby, AB fuggen C

You make it sound like he was a life long democrat, he's no where near that bad.

At least he has a code of honor which is more than you can say for any democrap, and especially Hitlery.

Barger wouldn't allow any of his people killed without in-kind retaliation then lie to their families.

i've known a few banditos over the yrs and i'd trust them over a dem any day.
