Otto freedley a World War II veteran is credited with starting the club after breaking from the pissed off bastards motorcycle club over a feud with a rival gang according to an alternative Theory the Hell's Angels were founded on November 15th 1951 in San Bernard Ino by dick white a member of the Redlands road runners according to its website the club's name was suggested by Arvid olssen an associate of the founders who had served in the Hell's Angel Squadron of the Flying Tigers in China during World War II in a letter written to the Guinness Book of World Records by a member on the Hell's Angels behalf it is instead stated that the club's name was taken from the Hell's Angel Squadron of the 300 third bombardment Group which was active in the European theater of World War II it is at least clear that the name was inspired by the tradition from World Wars 1 and two whereby the Americans gave their squadrons Fierce death defying titles an example of this lies in one of the three P40 squadrons of Flying Tigers fielded in Burma and China which was dubbed Hell's Angels some of the hamp's early history is not clear and accounts differ the club's first official Charter was reportedly drawn up in Fontana in 1950 various autonomous Hell's Angels chapters were formed throughout California in the decade following the club's Foundation by nomadic members who moved from one city to another the San Francisco Frisco chapter was reportedly founded by former members of The Market Street Commandos in 195 4 a North Sacramento chapter was established in 1956 followed by another chapter in Sacramento the following year which was formed by two brothers James mother miles and Pat Miles who were former members of the hellbent for Glory biker Club the Sacramento Charter later disbanded and relocated to Richmond as a nomad's chapter in 1965 according to Ralph Sunny bar founder of the Oakland Charter in 1957 other early charters of the club were founded in Gardina and elsewhere with the members usually unaware that there were other clubs one of the lessonn clubs was in North Chino South Pomona in the late 1960s Barger has been credited with helping to unify these various disperate chapters under common Club bylaws other sources claimed that the San Francisco Hell's Angels were organized in 1953 by Rocky Graves a Hell's Angel member from San Bernardino bdue implying that the frisco Hell's Angels were very much aware of their forebears the frisco Hell's Angels were reorganized in 1955 with 13 charter members Frank selik serving as president and the smaller original logo the Oakland Charter at the time headed by Barger used a larger version of the death's head patch nicknamed the Barger larger which was first used in 1959 it later became the club standard the first chapter to open outside California was established in Auckland New Zealand in 1961 the Hell's Angels are often depicted in semi- mythical romantic fashion like the 19th century James younger gang free spirited iconic Bound by Brotherhood and loyalty at other times such as in the 1966 Roger Corman film The Wild Angels they are depicted as violent and nihilistic little more than a violent criminal gang and a Scourge on society the club became prominent within and established its notoriety as part of the 1960s counterculture movement in San Francisco's hate Ashbury District playing a part at many of the movement's seminal events members were directly connected to many of the countercultures primary leaders such as Ken kessie and the Mery pranksters Alan Ginsburg Jerry Garcia and the Grateful Dead Timothy ly The Beatles The Rolling Stones MC faren and Tom Wolf Gonzo journalist Hunter S Thompson's book about the club launched his career from 19 1968 to 1969 the Hell's Angels of San Francisco headquarters was at 715 Ashbury the trail oath his first major task as an informant is to wear a wire and record an important Hell's Angels asset merad bamman talking about his submachine gun collection while the Hell's Angels have a strict whiteson policy bamman an Iranian immigrant is allowed to join due to his expertise with guns wrestling and combat experience he is often used by the leadership to obtain weapons and Carry Out Missions at the right price however the information that Atwal records is not so helpful and he is under pressure from the police to deliver later that year the Hell's Angels National secretary sends word to the chapter that there is a rat in their ranks information that she gotten from a police source as the search for the police informant intensifies adal is forced to lay low amidst the increasing pressure moreover the secretary and the vice chairman are his friends having helped him join the club and even played Major roles at his wedding so he feels guilty while recording their conversations together he once records a conversation in a meeting about members of the Angel Sudbury chapter joining the the downtown Toronto chapter but only their leader Lauren Campbell is deemed worthy to join adwell befriends Campbell and they spend a lot of time together including a weekend at Campbell's Cottage in Bayville but he doesn't divulge his identity as a police informant with most of the chapters interconnected the sharing of information between them plac to adwells and the police's Advantage he later records members of the Toronto chapter talking about a failed assassination attempt the attempt is carried out on the life of a mafiosi by their rival and the Sergeant at Arms of the Angels London chapter is the Assassin it fails at a Toronto restaurant where an innocent bystander takes a straight bullet alongside project develop are other informant projects such as project tandem coordinated by another informant the treasurer of the Ottawa chapter the project tandem raids are carried out in September 2006 leading to the arrests of several high-profile members and a state of paranoia which makes atwal's work more difficult the life of an informant becomes harder and harder for adwell and he starts abusing cocaine more than usual this behavior is called out by both his police handlers and his Hell's Angels counterparts and things only get worse from from there his tendency to buy far too many drugs from far too many suppliers at once comes to the attention of the Toronto Hell's Angels leaders who confront him about it and threaten to kill him if he really is the informant the next day after being threatened he is ordered to go into witness protection by his police handlers and they order a series of raids on Hell's Angels clubhouses based on the information gathered by adwell witness protection the information that adwell shares with the police leads to the arrests and arraignment of 31 Hell's Angels and the seizure of millions of dollars worth of drugs in April 2007 it takes time for the crown to build a case and the trial runs between September 2010 and May 2011 with atal as the star witness when Apple takes the stand he is nervous and his credibility as as a star witness comes under question when one of the convicts while acting as his own lawyer paints him as a violent man who had only become a police informant just to protect himself at the end of the trial which comes to be acknowledged as one of the longest running trials in Canadian history most of the suspects are convicted of trafficking drugs and illegal possession of weapons and adal's Life Changes forever since 2007 ad has lived under witness protection which he describes as a lonely life about moving around and not having any stability what can I do I can only imagine getting close to someone if someone cares about someone whether it's a friend a platonic relationship or an intimate one with the opposite sex you can only go so far before that person who cares for you asks well what happened before that where did you come from I can't share any of that with anyone moreover he
