EXCLUSIVE:
"RHODE ISLAND'S
RENEGADE"
cj: (1431) If I'm knocking on
your
door at 3 in the morning you're
in
trouble.
w; Why would you be knocking on
someones' door at 3 in the
morning?
cj: if you [beep] with me during
the
day, you know and I dont prefer
to
call the cops I usually take
care of
my own laundry. (1448)
C-J NORDSTROM IS
CONSIDERED ONE OF THE
MOST NOTORIOUS BIKERS
IN RHODE ISLAND.
HE'S ATTRACTED POLICE
ATTENTION FOR VIOLENT
BRAWLS -- LIKE THIS ONE
IN BRISTOL -- WITH
MEMBERS OF THE HELL'S
ANGELS.
(CG)
LAW ENFORCEMENT HAS
BEEN ON ALERT ---- IN
RECENT YEARS ----- OVER
FEUDING BIKER GANGS.
POLICE ARE CONCERNED
THAT INNOCENT
BYSTANDERS COULD GET
CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF
THE VIOLENCE.
(MM)
NOW, NORDSTROM TALKS
EXCLUSIVELY WITH
TARGET 12 INVESTIGATOR
TIM WHITE...
ABOUT HIS LIFE IN THE
BIKER WORLD----- AND HIS
RELATIONSHIP WITH
MAJOR ORGANIZED CRIME
FIGURES.
POLICE SAY 99 PERCENT OF
BIKERS ARE LAW ABIDING
CITIZENS.
IT'S WHAT THEY CALL THE "ONE
PERCENTERS" THAT THEY
IDENTIFY AS OUTLAWS...
AND C-J- NORDSTROM HAS
BEEN ON THEIR RADAR FOR
DECADES.
THE MOTORCYCLE...
IS IMPOSING
AND SO IS THE MAN WHO HAS
RIDDEN IT FOR MORE THAN 40
YEARS.
CJ Nordstrom
Biker
(1044) I usually say it
outlasted my
marriage and all my girlfriends.
CARL JUSTICE NORDSTROM -
KNOWN AS C.J.
HIS APPEARANCE - FROM
TATTOOS DECLARING HIS
STATUS AS A ONE PERCENTER
TO HIS HUGE FRAME...
ARE BACKED UP BY HIS
REPUTATION.
CJ Nordstrom
Biker
w; (5855) Are you a magnet for
that,
do you think. Do you attract
trouble?
cj; sometimes. You're in that
environment. [edit] I've been
around
a hundred years and there are
guys
out there that wonder if they
can
kick your [beep], you know?
(5913)
THIS, IS ONE OF THOSE
MOMENTS.
IN 2009 TARGET 12 OBTAINED
THIS SECURITY CAMERA
FOOTAGE FROM A BAR IN
BRISTOL.
YOU'RE LOOKING AT A MEMBER
OF THE HELL'S ANGELS
MOTORCYCLE CLUB, WALKING
UP TO NORDSTROM AND GIVING
HIM A SHOVE.
NORDSTROM SUSPECTS IT WAS
BIKE...
(0108) You see that bike you
know
its CJ's. You see CJ he usually
has
his bike with him.
...THAT SIGNALLED TO THE
HELL'S ANGELS -- HE WAS
INSIDE.
CJ Nordstrom
Biker
(0120) These guys knew I was in
there, they figured they would
come
in, six strong, throw their
weight
around maybe jump who knows, you
know?
NORDSTROM QUICKLY STRIKES
BACK...
DROPPING THE HELL'S ANGELS
MEMBER TO THE FLOOR.
AND NORDSTROM, CONTINUES
TO POUND AWAY.
CJ Nordstrom
Biker
cj: (0157) In the street, Tim,
there's
no rules. When you want to set
an
example.
THERE HAS BEEN A HISTORY OF
BAD BLOOD BETWEEN THE
HELL'S ANGELS AND
NORDSTROM,
AND THIS WAS NOT THE FIRST
FIGHT HE HAS GOTTEN INTO
WITH A MEMBER OF THE
NOTORIOUS GANG.
TARGET 12 LEARNED THE STATE
POLICE KEPT WATCH ON HIS
HOUSE FOLLOWING THE
INCIDENT.
Steven O'Donnell
R.I. State Police Colonel (ret.)
w: (3142) Was there a concern
from
law enforcement that there might
be
retalitation from the Hells
Angels?
(3146)
od; Certainly. He decked, laid
out
almost killed a full-patch
member of
the Hells Angels so typically by
their
bylaws and their rules there has
to
be retaliation...
NORDSTROM HAS BEEN
IDENTIFIED BY LAW
ENFORCEMENT AS AN
INDEPEDENT ROGUE BIKER.
MEANING HE IS NOT AFFILIATED
- OR A FULL PATCH MEMBER -
WITH ANY GANG.
Steven O'Donnell
R.I. State Police Colonel (ret.)
(2930) "He decided that those
clubs
were beneath his dignity and he
decided to be an indpendent
person
and do what he thought he wanted
to do."
IN THE 1980S, NORDSTROM
TOOK HIS EXPERIENCE AS A
STREETFIGHTER...
INTO THE RING.
(1233) "where is the referee,
where
is Tabor? Bissonette can't even
defend himself!"
CJ Nordstrom
Biker
(1950) w; That hand has seen
better
days.
cj: yeah, its been broken a few
times.
w; is that from boxing?
cj; Most of it.
NORDSTROM'S PROMISING
CAREER IN THE RING ENDED
WITH A STINT IN THE CAN.
SERVING NEARLY FIVE YEARS
AFTER A VIOLENT BARROOM
BRAWL IN NEWPORT IN 1976
WHERE SEVERAL PEOPLE
WERE STABBED.
CJ Nordstrom
Biker
(5604) Like anybody else, Tim, I
got
two arms, two legs, I make
mistakes
like anybody else.
THE SENTENCE WAS A BLOW TO
HIS BOXING CAREER...
BUT CEMENTED HIS
UNDERWORLD LEGACY.
NORDSTROM SAYS - IN HIS DAY
- THE "ONE PERCENTER" TITLE
WAS ABOUT THE CUSTOM BIKES
THEY RODE...
CJ Nordstrom
Biker
(5750) It was nothing like you
were
the bad guy you were the outlaw
that broke laws.
w; but thats what they say you
are.
cj: that's what they say today.
I'm far
from that. I don't deal drugs. I
don't
pimp off no broads. Shake nobody
down. I make pay like a regular
joe
blow, iron worker, truck driver.
Used
to be a bone breaker, you know
but
it was professional. (5823)
C-J TELLS ME HE HAD FRIENDS
WHO ARE MEMBERS OF THE
THE HELL'S ANGELS,
BUT SAYS THEY ARE
PREVENTED FROM SPEAKING
WITH HIM NOW,
BECAUSE OF THOSE DUST UPS
HE'S HAD WITH THE GANG.
WITH THE TARGET 12
