Trademarked

Who knew Hell's Angels and their symbol were trademarked?? Well, they are and the Hell's Angels has filed lawsuits over it too. Sorry, no picture, I don't want to infringe too.

Hell's Angels have a rep as one tough motorcycle gang. Filing trademark lawsuits is just not how I'd have pictured them taking care of business.

I'm surprised that they didn't lose the trademark due to prosecution under the RICO statute, it calls for the confiscation of all assets of corrupt organizations! 😠

Under that law we should be able to confiscate most politician's holdings and 98.7% of D.C.!
