A Brooklyn Motorcycle gang group, the Forbidden Ones, had a secret clubhouse in Brooklyn, where they held secret meetings. During these secret meetings, members of this outlawed motorcycle gang secured themselves with assault rifles, pistols, and grenades just to make sure they were protected from intruders. Their first line of defense though was a cannon, ready to fire, aimed at the door in case anyone dared to come in and interrupt them.
What these members didn't know is that one of them had turned them in and was working with the New York Police Department. The gang member who turned them in told the police all about their defensive line and weapons ready to go off if anyone came in during their special meetings.
On Tuesday, law enforcement officials arrested seven members of the Forbidden Ones and two others from other Brooklyn motorcycle gangs, the Dirty Ones and the Troublemakers. The police charged them with trafficking high-caliber weapons.
Some of the weapons discovered in 15 other locations were an AK-47 assault rifles, homemade bombs and a .410-caliber revolver. Some of these guns were kept at one of the gang member's house, where his wife ran a day care center!
The men arrested had different nicknames such as "Spider" and "Afro." Some of the gang members wore patches to show off their accomplishments. One had a "1% patch" which declared they rejected society and lived outside the law. Another had a "bangout patch" which shows two handguns crossing each other signifying the member had assaulted or had another confrontation with the police. The gang members arrested face up to 5 years of conviction.
I think this whole thing is really crazy. The amount of weapons they had was crazy, and I think it was completely ridiculous that they had a cannon ready to fire if someone opened the door! Another thing that made me really upset is that some of these weapons they bought were being held in one of the gang members house, and his wife runs a day care center! I can't even begin to explain how idiotic this is. They obviously didn't even think this out because if something went off while the kids were at his house there could have been some major damage done to both their criminal record and the kids. I'm glad their locked up, and hopefully it puts them in their place.
