By the time our convoy crossed into Arizona, thousands of people online believed forty-seven bikers had committed a mass kidnapping. What those posts didn’t show was the charter bus filled with properly belted children singing along to terrible Christmas music while motorcycles rode ahead and behind as escorts.

The Eighty-Seven-Year-Old Woman Next Door Fired Her Home-Care Agency and Chose a Massive Tattooed Biker Instead
Dorothy’s daughter Sarah called me first. She didn’t ask whether her mother was happier, eating properly, attending appointments, or getting out of the apartment more often. She demanded to know who the “strange man” was. Before she had even met Michael, she used words like criminal, gang, manipulation, exploitation, and danger. I understood part of…

I Called 911 When a Biker Grabbed My Six-Year-Old Son at the County Fair
Before we left the fair, Caleb walked over to Bear and wrapped his small arms around the biker’s waist. “Thank you for moving me,” he said.
