Three years ago this week, we were married at this wedding chapel where this motorcycle brawl took place:
The assault trial for eight of 13 men, including members of the
infamous Hells Angels Motorcycle Club, began Monday with video of them
swarming and bludgeoning rival gang members during a 2008 brawl at a
downtown wedding chapel.
Assistant district attorney Chris Owens
called the 60-second assault by the Sin City chapter of the Hells Angels
an "unprovoked attack" on three members of the Mongols biker gang.
However,
veteran defense attorney Tom Pitaro said the defendants were acting in
self-defense because the Mongols presence suggested danger....
Authorities say the melee at A Special Memory Wedding Chapel on
Fourth Street and Gass Avenue on Dec. 20, 2008, injured at least six,
including three members of the Mongols biker gang, two of whom were
stabbed.
The brawl followed a wedding ceremony the Hells Angels
were attending. As they were leaving, they saw at least three Mongols
who were at the chapel for a different wedding.
The 13 men attacked the Mongols, bludgeoning them with their fists, feet, bottles and trash cans.
Pitaro said the defendants "came for a wedding not a fight."
They
"acted reasonably under the circumstances as they believed them to be,"
Pitaro said, adding the Hells Angels perceived danger. http://www.lvrj.com/news/trial-begins-in-hells-angels-wedding-chapel-brawl-163493556.html
This is like a hockey game. Go to a wedding and a fight breaks out.
