We have uncorroborated information that the Hells Angels will be having an annual west
coast “South Run” hosted by the Las Vegas chapter on a coming weekend in May.
We do not have any specific dates or locations because the local chapter
appears to be withholding specifics as they do not want law enforcement to
disrupt or mitigate their run.  If anyone comes across any specific information reference
this event, please contact Ben MacDonell at (702) 444-1618
Historically, this event draws between 100-200, with representatives coming from nearby states.

These fellas showed up 4/3/21 to the Chosen Brothers RC Madison County Charter 1^st Anniversary party at 1315 Meridian Street Anderson (Fraternal Order of Eagles Lodge).  They seemed to get along fine with CB; additionally I identified Brandon Johnson (HA) in attendance as well as another unknown HA and what appeared to be 2 HA prospects. (Anderson, Indiana)         I don’t know anything about Renegades, who can fill me in?

More info on this from IOMGIA member – John Gietz – Lexington, SC:

 It was the Pagans MC and the Red Devils MC.  1 Red Devil deceased due to blunt force trauma and GSWs, 1 Red Devil paralyzed due to a shot to the chest (into the spine) as well as impaired brain function due to a gunshot to the head, 1 Pagan (the shooter) stabbed multiple times, and 1 Pagan shot multiple times (friendly fire).

Basically 5 Red Devils from two chapters ( River City and Hell Creek) including the President of River City and the VP of Hell Creek showed up at a motorcycle shop demanding two Pagans give them their colors.  1 of the Pagans pulled a gun and told the Red Devils to leave.  The President of the River City chapter, Raymond Reece AKA Red Beard, attacked the Pagan with the gun.  That is the basic nuts and bolts.  As always there is way more to the story and we are getting word this was at the direct of the Hells Angels MC.  This has been brewing tension for months and will continue in the next coming months.
