https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8285577/Two-masked-gunmen-aim-pistols-silencers-execute-Bronx-biker-gang-leader.htmltwo masked gunmen jump out of a Jeep aiming pistols with silencers 'and execute Bronx biker gang leader in broad daylight'
Francisco Rosado, 51, was allegedly gunned down in the Bronx on Saturday
Law enforcement sources said the two assailants fled the scene in a blue Jeep
Rosado is said to be the head of the Pagan Motorcycle Club's Bronx chapter
His murder prompted fears of a potential gang war should the suspects turn out to be members of a rival motorcycle club
Pagan MC has over 1,300 members operating in chapters along the East Coast
They are notoriously aggressive when defending their turf and have long-simmering feuds with many other clubs including the Pagans, Outlaws and Bandidos.
The Pagan's, who exclude black members, are widely believed to have ties to the Aryan Brotherhood and the Italian Mafia.
They were formed in the 1950s but reportedly didn'y enter the criminal underworld until John 'Satan' Marron took control in the late 60s and 70s. They have since grown to become one of big four motorbike gangs in the US. They're implictaed in producing and selling drugs, as well as working as arms dealers and bombing plots.
The gang has a long rivalry with the Hell's Angels and Complex reported that in 2010, 19 members of the group were arrested in New York for allegedly plotting to bomb Hells Angels.

(3,491 posts)From my neighborhood and from work. Its true, they are every bit as vicious as any organized crime group or cartel. They dont usually bother the general public, you just dont want to get on their bad side. The problem is, you never know how that might happen, 1% clubs have a lot of strange rules and arcane customs. It's a lot of super alpha bullshit based on respect and every solution to any conceived problem is violence.
Its best to avoid them altogether if you can.

Either silencers or they have to hand out ear protection.
