Mary Maru drowned while swimming in a river. Not sure why Foxnews uses "acidental" death. Are they suspicious of how the ER Star passed away?

Sonny Barger, a founding member of the Hells Angels Motorcycle Club who spent decades as the public face of the notorious biker gang, has died at the age of 83, according to his Facebook page.

With their leather vests and the roar of their engines as they cruised in packs on the open road, for many years the Hells Angels were a symbol – a frightening one for some Americans – of counterculture living.

Barger founded the now-international motorcycle club’s original group, based out of Oakland, California in 1957.

TORONTO -- Jim Pappin, the former NHL forward credited with the Toronto Maple Leafs' last Stanley Cup-winning goal, has died. He was 82.

The Maple Leafs and Chicago Blackhawks announced the death Wednesday on social media.

"We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Jim Pappin," the Maple Leafs said. "Jim played five seasons in Toronto, winning the Stanley Cup in 1964 & '67. Named one of the 100 Greatest Leafs, he scored the Cup-winning goal and led the team in scoring in '67. Our thoughts are with his family and friends."

He created one of the most recognizable "symbols" on earth.........the Hells Angels "Death Head" patch, right up there with Coke, Pepsi, McDonalds and the Swastika.

..........regardless what you think of it.

ONLY out of curiosity alone, no sides taken, if HA’s hadn’t ever been around to take advantage of street kids, who or what organization would have stepped up to fill the gap?

Rhetorical question only.

Tommy Morgan, a harmonica soloist who contributed to hundreds of movies and TV shows including “Roots” and “Dances With Wolves,” died June 23. He was 89.

Morgan played on film soundtracks and record dates going back to the early 1950s. His estimated 7,000 recording sessions, according to statistics on his website, suggest that more people have heard his harmonica work than that of any other player of the instrument.

Morgan played on dozens of classic films including “Seven Brides for Seven Brothers,” “Giant” and “Rio Bravo” in the 1950s; “How the West Was Won,” “Lilies of the Field,” “The Cincinnati Kid,” “Cool Hand Luke,” “The Wild Bunch” and “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid” in the 1960s; “The Cowboys,” “High Plains Drifter,” “Blazing Saddles,” “Magic” and “The Black Stallion” in the 1970s; and the Oscar-winning scores for “The Right Stuff” in the 1980s and “Dances With Wolves” in the 1990s.

Later scores featuring Morgan’s harmonica include “Pretty Woman,” “Back to the Future Part III,” “City Slickers,” “Free Willy,” “The Shawshank Redemption,” “Rosewood,” “The Princess Diaries,” “Monsters Inc.,” “Cars,” “Ratatouille” and “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.” He once estimated that he played on more than 600 films.

He played harmonica on the Beach Boys’ “Good Vibrations,” the Carpenters’ “Rainy Days and Mondays,” the Hollies’ “He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother,” Linda Ronstadt’s “Skylark” and other records by Randy Newman, Carly Simon, Barbra Streisand, Neil Diamond, Olivia Newton-John, Dolly Parton and James Taylor.

Putin is insane and this further proves it.

Laser scientist, dying of cancer in Siberia, is kidnapped from his hospital bed and flown to Moscow only to die two days later in a hospital. Rest in Peace Dimi, you're out of the insanity now.

Anyone that knows anything about the MC world knows that the 81s are basically the police force of the gang world in their territories. Other gangs (most notably the international ones) have even less regards for human life or any form of honour for that matter.

100% accurate and our politicians do nothing because they are terrified of the word "racist" used by the Chinese and East Indian criminals..........but lets spend millions to seize a clubhouse over and over again.
