00:00:01.340 - 00:01:10.270

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. In the morning. I'm ready lobby what? Yeah. Mhm. Oh they've got them for you to bring down this. Well. Yeah. Oh my God look and after not for us today. Yeah. You have to ask you about your credit.

00:01:11.240 - 00:02:35.140

Why don't you people go home? You're you're passing down down here. Way out here the area. Oh play there when you left longer. Okay. I'm on this side. I get

00:02:35.140 - 00:03:04.260

cut off from yolk inside. The very idea of the Hells angels holding a news conference conjures up some unusual and perhaps interesting ideas about social comment. It was held inside this building. Dorothy Connors bail bonds and MS Connor proudly says that she is the Hells Angels

00:03:04.270 - 00:03:25.320

official bail bondsmen. They were all here, all five of them. Anyway, tiny walter sonny barger better known as ralph barker, the President of the Hells Angels and three others and here's how it went. Although we stated our intention to demonstrate at this despicable un american activity.

00:03:25.330 - 00:03:40.460

We believe that in the interest of public safety and the protection of the good name of the city of Oakland, we should not justify the V. DC with our presence. We intend to absence ourselves from the scene and we encourage all citizens to do the same.

00:03:41.640 - 00:03:56.690

Sunny, isn't this a complete turnaround? As far as the Hells Angels are concerned you people are used to doing what you're told to do. Well the thing of it is is we haven't been told to do nothing. This is our own decision and the thing that

00:03:56.690 - 00:04:11.450

we think it's best for the country. Are you going to stay in Oakland or go somewhere else? We'll we'll do whatever we usually do on a normal saturday. What's that? Just probably go to the bar and drink a few size. The reasons we have made this

00:04:11.560 - 00:04:31.420

judgment is because number one, our patriotic concern for what these people are doing to our great nation may provoke violent acts spires, although the majority of citizens fill as we do. We believe that any physical encounter would only produce sympathy for this mob of traders. If

00:04:31.420 - 00:04:46.550

a riot occurs, we want it clear that the Hells Angels did not precipitate it. Any violation of the law may be laid at the doorstep of the BDC. They are the irresponsible group in this committee community. While you disagree with their philosophy, do you agree they

00:04:46.550 - 00:05:06.950

have the right to marsh. I don't want to make no more statements. That's our feeling about it. And that's it. Here's a letter that we sent to a telegram to President johnson. It's President Lyndon B. Johnson, 1600 Pennsylvania of Washington, D. C. Dear, Mr. President on

00:05:06.950 - 00:05:24.830

behalf of myself and my associates. I volunteer group of loyal americans for behind the line duty in Vietnam. We feel that a crack group of trained guerrillas could demoralize the Vietcong and advance the cause of freedom. We are available for training and duty immediately sincerely ralph

00:05:24.840 - 00:05:43.880

barger Hells Angels? Oakland California. You feel especially qualified for guerilla activity. Well, people have been calling us that for years, possibly. Well, I think we all got guts. Were not afraid to fight for what we believe in. To the women of the Hells. Angels agree with

00:05:43.880 - 00:06:03.460

your decision. There's no women in the Hells Angels, your girlfriend. Because they think your decision is a wise one. They have no say about sorry. Uhh Sonny had any training. I've had jungle training when I was in the service. How about the general activities held angels

00:06:03.840 - 00:06:08.860

Still the virus. Did you announce the names of all these people from left to right?
