8 Pagans plead not guilty in racketeering case?

Advertiser

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Eight Pagans Motorcycle Club bikers have pleaded not guilty to charges in a sweeping federal racketeering indictment.

U.S. Magistrate Judge Mary Stanley ordered three of the men released on bond Wednesday. Court records show she ordered five others held pending hearings.

All are charged in a 44-count indictment that portrays the Pagans as a sprawling organization engaged in kidnapping, robbery, extortion, conspiracy to commit murder and other crimes in an effort to be the pre-eminent biker gang in the eastern United States.

In all, 55 Pagans and associates from West Virginia, Kentucky, Virginia, Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Delaware and Florida face charges. Their trial is scheduled for Dec. 15.

    Pagans is the name of a motorcycle club. So is Hell's Angels. Doesn't mean the members are all pagan, most of them probably call themselves christians. The Duke University basketball team is call the Blue Devils. None of them are blue and I don't think any of them are devils. Same difference. A lot of the neo-Nazi white supremacy groups call themselves "christian". Does that make them good guys?

    Am I to be surprised that members of a biker gang have gotten in trouble with the law?

    It's the name of a motorcycle gang. They're not pagan religion-wise.

    What of it? It's simply the name of a biker gang.

  • 1 decade ago

    I wish they'd chosen a different name for their club. I doubt there's an actual Pagan among them.

  • 1 decade ago

    I bet ya more than 10 times as many christians get arrested daily.

    Why do this insist on calling them out for what they believe? There are corrupt members of EVERY religion.
