In the 1960s and 70s Deadwood, South Dakota's most famous brothel owner, Pam Holliday gave generously to charities, befriended the motorcycle gangs that came to the Black Hills and offered a safe house for gun smugglers.
Today, most, if not all, meth and fentanyl in South Dakota is trafficked by white Trump-worshiping motorcycle clubs. These hordes are essentially domestic terrorists operating with the blessings of the prison/industrial complex.
The Sons of Silence, Bandidos and Hells Angels control organized crime in the Black Hills area where members have infiltrated nearly every community even operating Rapid City's Cornerstone Rescue Mission for a time as a front for their activities. Former Cornerstone director, Dan Island, build a Lawrence County mansion and together with his brother Frank built a cocaine and meth empire before their deaths.
Red River, New Mexico is a town of about 600 souls that gambled on some 28,000 bikers then was terrorized by members of rival outlaw motorcycle gangs. Sturgis, South Dakota is a town of just over 7000 terrorized every year by at least 1% of 500,000 white, violent, drunk and cranked up outlaws and their machines.
The FBI has listed the Bandidos — which originated in Texas — alongside the Hells Angels, Outlaws and Pagans as one of the largest motorcycle gangs in the U.S., with ties to “murder, bombings, extortion, arson, and assault," among other criminal activities. The New Mexico Department of Homeland Security was called in to aid with resource requests, according to a department spokesperson, who emphasized that state police are leading the investigation. [Future of Red River motorcycle rally uncertain in aftermath of shootout]I operated in the Black Hills hospitality market for twenty five years. At Twin City Fruit and Sysco the Sturgis Rally was the peak of the tourist season and made or broke profits for the year. In my construction business I saw first-hand how methamphetamine served the needs of the locals.
But, a red moocher state like South Dakota is powered by sin: video lootery, a loan shark industry that preys on the least fortunate and a too-big-to-jail banking racket fill in the gaps created by lobbyists who enjoy the protection of single-party tyranny. Desperate to pay off those who benefit the entrenched Republican establishment criminals can expect to have champions sitting as governor, lieutenant governor and attorney general.
Motorcycle gang violence in Oklahoma City took the lives of three bikers in April.
