Some outlaw motorcycle clubs can be distinguished by a "1%" patch worn on the colors. This is said to refer to a comment by the American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) that 99% of motorcyclists were law-abiding citizens, implying the last one percent were outlaws.[24]
The alleged AMA comment, supposedly a response to the Hollister riot in 1947,[25][26] is denied by the AMA, who claim to have no record of such a statement to the press, and that the story is a misquote.[24]
According to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), they are also known as outlaw motorcycle gangs (OMG).[27]

That's not a Hindu Swastik. The Hindu swastik usually has dots in each corner.

It shows the criminal elements of the motorcycle gang. Not all Hells Angels are 1%ers. To become a 1%er you have to commit a crime to get entry into the club and continue with their criminal elements. Non 1%ers are usually guys who join to be part of the brotherhood and ride together. Those guys are jumped in and usually spend a week in the hospital recovering.

Fair enough, but looking at the various chapter logo's there are a lot that have integrated the 1% logo into the patch.
The Quebec Chapter for example, or the California chapter incorporate the symbol into their patch.
So the guys that go to join those chapters know that they're not just riding bikes on the weekend and are looking for entrance into a criminal organization.

We must secure the existence of our Flames and a future for Theo Fleury?
Alas, some jerk registered just "Resolute" before I could take it, and never posted.

Mr Cantwell, from Keene, New Hampshire, turned himself into police on Wednesday to face three felony charges in connection with the riots in Virginia. He was wanted by University of Virginia police on two counts of the illegal use of tear gas or other gases and one count of malicious bodily injury with a "caustic substance," explosive or fire.
