California has laws against... «Hell's Angels»
thespiritofadyingmosquito3 октября 2022California has laws against „outraging the public decency,” but for some reason they are rarely applied to the Hell’s Angels, whose very existence is a mockery of all public decency. „When you walk into a place where people can see you, you want to look as repulsive and repugnant as possible,” said one. „We are complete social outcasts – outsiders against society. And that’s the way we want to be. Anything good, we laugh at. We’re bastards to the world and they’re bastards to us.” „I don’t really care if people think we’re bad,” said another. „I think this is what really keeps us going. We fight society and society fights us. It doesn’t bother me.” There are very few Angels who won’t go far out of their way to lay a bad jolt on the squares – preferably to the extent of unbalancing their metabolism and causing them to shriek in their sleep for days afterward – but there is also a certain amount of humor involved. Funny Sonny once explained the Angels’ bizarre garb as „a kind of a joke – you know, like a giant masquerade.” Which is true to some extent, but not everybody digs the Angels’ sense of humor… which can range all the way from belly laughs at Jackie Gleason jokes to quiet giggling at the sight of a man’s face being shredded with a broken beer bottle.
