#7 - Brett “Kaos” Pechey 34-year old Brett Pechey,
a notorious ex-biker, was taken into custody by Western Australian police on the morning of
June the 26th of 2020. He served as a high-ranking member of the Bandidos motorcycle gang for many
years during the course of which he engaged in a variety of criminal activities that led to his
arrest on multiple occasions. This particular incident began on June the 24th when Pechey,
nicknamed “Kaos” during his gangster days, threatened two officers issuing him a police
order. The order was connected to a domestic violence incident involving his ex-girlfriend,
Rikki Louise. Pechey imitated the cocking of a firearm and pretended to point a gun in the
policemen’s direction. The authorities’ concern over the mock threat intensified after a video
surfaced in which Pechey said the phrase “coppers die today” with a shotgun placed beside him.
Heavily armed Tactical Response officers subsequently made their way to Pechey’s residence
to arrest him. They surrounded his property and used a loudspeaker to demand he exit the house.
He eventually came outside and gave himself up without incident. A number of charges were handed
down, including threatening to kill, possessing a firearm in circumstances of aggravation
and various police order breaches. The whole situation concluded with him being put behind
bars for a year. It wasn’t the first time Pechey had been arrested in dramatic fashion. In 2018, 26
police officers surrounded his house while he was barricaded inside videotaping the standoff. Just a
few years earlier, the outlaw biker was arrested at Brisbane International Airport over extortion
charges after being on the run for 2 years. #6 - Liam Scorsese
On February the 25th of 2018, a domestic dispute involving a member of the Comanchero motorcycle
club ultimately led to a deadly police shooting in Brisbane, Australia. 31-year old biker Liam
Scorsese attempted to enter his girlfriend’s family residence, in a fit of rage, after the
couple had engaged in a heated argument. He had been locked out of the house and subsequently
started banging on the door, shouting for his partner, Chireez Beytell, to come out.
Beytell and the rest of her family barricaded themselves inside the home and called the police.
When the authorities showed up at the scene, they found Scorsese wielding a knife he had stolen from
the kitchen. With the weapon in hand, he began to approach the officers, who instructed him to drop
the blade and get on the ground. Scorsese refused to heed their instructions, prompting the police
to fire a Taser at his chest, which did little to subdue him. Scorsese ripped the Taser wires
from his body and resumed charging towards the officers. In fear for his and his partners’ lives,
one of the policemen brandished his gun and fired two shots at the biker, causing him to fall to the
ground. The officers administered first aid until an ambulance arrived to transport him
to Princess Alexandra Hospital. He passed away from his gunshot wounds an hour later. Beytell
complained that the police officers dispatched to her house that day had neglected to turn on their
body cameras prior to shooting Scorsese. After an inquest into the incident, a coroner suggested
officers be equipped with body cams that are automatically activated once their guns are drawn.
#5 - Dustin Lindner A man was shot and killed in Dupont,
Indiana, by a group of 5 bikers belonging to outlaw motorcycle clubs, on June the 22nd of
2021. The victim was 35-year-old Dustin Lindner of Georgetown, Kentucky, who had gotten into an
argument with the 5 suspects after wearing the insignias associated with their gangs, “The
Pagans” and “The Warlocks”, despite the fact that he wasn’t a member of either group. The bikers in
question were later identified as David Faulkner, Gary Fletcher, Jason Brewer, Michael Karnuth,
and Jordan Lowe. After confronting Lindner and expressing their displeasure with his tattoos
and patches bearing their symbols, they went to his residence in the early morning hours and
conducted a home invasion. Police received reports of shots fired shortly thereafter.
When officers arrived at the scene, they found Lindner lying in the yard with a gunshot wound.
He had been shot dead following an altercation with the 5 bikers, all of whom were apprehended in
connection with the incident. Faulkner, Fletcher, Brewer, and Karnuth were each charged with murder,
while Lowe received lesser indictments. #4 - Michael Davey
An associate of the Rebels motorcycle gang was shot dead in a residential driveway in Kingswood,
Australia, on March the 30th of 2016. Michael Davey, aged 30, was an enforcer for the
infamous outlaw club and had earned himself the nickname “Ruthless”. He had a criminal history
that included a manslaughter conviction, in 2002, when he was just 17 years of age.
Despite his checkered past, Davey was looking to escape the violent world of which he was a part
after his girlfriend had given birth to a son. Just after midnight, on the night of his death,
Davey told his girlfriend he was meeting a friend across the street from where they lived.
When he walked to the neighboring driveway, he was shot and killed by two fellow Rebels members,
who fled the scene in a getaway car. Witnesses recounted hearing as many as 6 gunshots
followed by the sound of screeching tires. The shooters had reportedly turned on Davey after word
got out that he no longer wanted to be associated with the club. The slain motorcyclist was laid to
rest in western Sydney on April the 8th of 2016. The funeral ceremony was attended by dozens of
bikers from all over Australia. In August of 2018, the two perpetrators were identified by the
authorities and charged with Davey’s murder. They were both already in correctional facilities for
other offenses when the charges were handed down. #3 - Jeremy Harris
A 38-year-old Florida man named Jeremy Harris was brutally attacked by a group of angry bikers
after accidentally clipping one of their vehicles, on January the 9th of 2021. Harris came to an
intersection in North Fort Myers that was being blockaded by motorcyclists. He began to berate the
stationary bikers for stopping the flow of traffic just so the rest of their group could skip the red
light. Harris then attempted to drive away, but came very close to knocking one of the riders
off his bike. The bikers then pursued him and surrounded his car at a stop light.
Harris exited his vehicle with a wrench in hand and tried to protect himself, but he was
ultimately overpowered by the enraged bikers who proceeded to viciously beat and bludgeon him with
the tool. Horrified onlookers attempted to break up the altercation, but the attackers continued
their assault. Harris’ skull was fractured during the onslaught, and he required 15 stitches in his
head. Multiple suspects were arrested following the incident and charged with felony battery.

#2 - Ben Geppert In September of 2020, an ex-Hell’s Angel
by the name of Ben Geppert invaded the home of a 26-year old man from Broadbeach Waters, Australia,
and attacked him with a baseball bat over a drug dispute. Geppert, aged 29, had sold the victim
$1,500 worth of illegal substances a month prior to the incident, but he was reportedly only given
$1,000 in payment. The biker demanded the money he was owed but, on the other side of the argument,
the man claimed the drugs he’d been sold were fake. As he continually refused to pay, Geppert
texted him a picture of a gun before arriving at his house and beating him to a pulp in his front
yard, before the eyes of terrified bystanders. At around 11 p.m. that same night, Geppert returned
to the man’s residence and broke in armed with a baseball bat, which he used to club the man’s
head. The resulting injuries required 12 stitches to mend. The very next day, Geppert returned once
again and forced the man to accompany him to get a Rolex watch appraised. The biker was subsequently
arrested following a rooftop chase with police officers in the town of Kingscliff. In August of
2021, he was sentenced to three years in prison for the home invasion and assault. The charges
were added to the extensive list of Geppert’s past offenses. He was also featured in our Hell's
Angels video regarding an incident in which he’d attacked his girlfriend who, fearing for her life,
was forced to jump out of a moving car. He also appeared in a viral video produced by
the Queensland Police Service which aimed at stopping new recruits from joining outlawed gangs.
#1 - The 2015 Waco Shootout A violent shootout between rival motorcycle
gangs erupted in Waco, Texas, on May the 17th of 2015. More than 200 people were gathered inside a
Twin Peaks restaurant for a regional meeting of Texas’ statewide biker group coalition.
The main topics on the gathering’s agenda were centered on political rights for motorcyclists.
18 Waco police officers and 4 Texas state troopers were stationed outside the establishment to
monitor the gathering, which had initially started out peacefully. Tensions began to rise between two
clubs present at the event, the Bandidos and the Cossacks. The incident that reportedly set off
the conflict involved someone getting their foot run over in a parking spot, just after noon. By
12:24 p.m., the argument had escalated into an all-out gunfight. Patrons of nearby restaurants
ducked for cover under tables and behind cars as gunshots started flying from all sides.
The police soon returned fire after being shot at themselves but no civilians or law enforcement
officers were wounded during the incident. However, nine bikers were killed at the scene and
18 others were injured. Police snipers were able to target the armed suspects and bring an end to
the gunfire. In the aftermath of the shootout, a total of 177 people were arrested and detained by
the authorities, but only one of them was ever brought to trial. Jake Carrizal, president of
the Bandidos’ Dallas chapter, was tried for his involvement in the deadly episode, but his case
was ultimately thrown out due to a mistrial. By April of 2019, all of the criminal cases stemming
from the Waco shootout had been dismissed. More than 130 civil lawsuits were subsequently filed
against various state and local officials by many of the bikers involved in the mass arrest.
