"There's always going to be someone who likes it and someone that don't like it and that's anything in life," said Joe Biedrycki, who invited our cameras to the poker run. With the rev of their engines, the Hells Angels rolled into Lexington Saturday for a poker run. The ride funds the Hells Angels' Sin City Defense Fund, a fund to cover attorney fees and court costs after Las Vegas police raided six Angels' houses last fall. "They're not looked at for the good things they've done, they're looked at for the bad things that's happened in the past," said organizer Lisa Meyers, who is friends with the Hells Angels. She spoke for the Angels Saturday because none of them wanted to go on camera. Also not appearing on camera was Lexington Police Chief Terrance Green, but Green did say Lexington would be protected from what he calls a biker gang. "I don't see it as gang activity," said Jerry Oliver with the American Legion Riders. |
