Hells Angel says his feelings are hurt…
The president of the Vancouver chapter of the Hells Angels says people have been rude to him and his feelings have been hurt since the group was ruled a criminal organization by an Ontario judge last year.
In an affidavit filed in B.C. Supreme Court, Rick Ciarnello lists a number of public snubs including a couple in a restaurant who asked to be moved because they didn’t want to sit next to him after he walked in wearing Hells Angels colours.
He also claims he has been treated rudely by his local supermarket staff, and he says many people are no longer friendly toward him, and instead fear him or avoid him altogether.  Read about it here.
I sure don’t want to offend a member of “Hells Angels,” but is this a new, kinder, gentler Hells Angels? Have they been watching too much Oprah? Maybe they have been to sensitivity training. Truth is stranger than fiction!
What do you think?

Well, Australia’s Hell’s Angels have been known to have involvement in crime- and by that, I don’t mean shoplifting, or breaking street lights. I see no reason why Canada shoudn’t have the same problem.
This bloke sounds like a SNAG.
Like it- the reference to Oprah!
Perhaps he should just do a lot of growing up, question why he needs to be in a gang at his age, and desist from wearing what others see as provocative clothing.
Affidavit, forsooth! Get a life, Ciarnello.
This guy really needs some inner healing. When’s the next conference?
Maybe his medication needs reviewing.
good for mr.ciarnello .no angel has harrased me or taken 33%of my paycheck.maybe the government should start looking at the real criminals themselves. good luck rick
1% motorcycle clubs are frequently being referenced as criminal gangs - here’s the transcript of the 1st of a two part channel nine programme from australia attempting to get beneath the surface of south australian governments accusstions. (The 2nd part was pulled from being shown).
