Notorious Mongrel Mob Gang Vows to Guard Mosque in New Zealand

A notorious biker gang has vowed to stand guard outside a New Zealand mosque during first Friday prayers since the attack in Christchurch that left 50 dead.

Hearing that Muslims in the city of Hamilton were frightened to go to Friday prayers—their main weekly gathering—the regional leader of the Mongrel Mob said they would secure the perimeter of the building.

The Mongrel Mob is a Maori-dominated gang that was spawned in the 1960s. Like other ethnic minority gangs, it follows the same structure as Hell’s Angels: a president, vice president, sergeant-at-arms, patched members, prospects (unpatched recruits), and associates.

Waikato Mongrel Mob President Sonny Fatu told Stuff NZ that they would guard Jamia Masjid Mosque in Hamilton, a city on the North Island.

10. I wish our law enforcement was capable of doing so

'Capable' meaning 'willing to do it properly'.

9. So happy to see people who probably don't usually shun violence are applying themselves

to peacekeeping. They're listening to soul and that's a good step.

12. What could go wrong? It's not like this is Altamont . . .

[irisblue]

13. 50 years and guys with different motivations?

Plus different country.

14. It's possible they are doing it as a show of support for the victims as well as a gesture to racists

that they stand with the same people the racists hoped to terrorize and beat down spiritually.

That was the immediate impact their act had with me.

15. Not going quite as the far right hoped... The real tough guys are standing with the victims

While the so-called tough guys AKA the people who will shoot Muslims in the back have to watch.

16. Unlike Trump's bikers

[akraven]

17. Most of us deep-down bikers would say

BRAVO!!
