Sons of Anarchy

Love the show, but here's what I don't get.... All these guys toting and displaying Glocks in a City (fictional) and State (Real) that goes bat guano crazy if you mention any word that rhymes with Gun.

Think any of the SAMCRO guys have their California CCW Permits?

Never watched it,....... and at the risk of offending someone, I just don't understand a program that glorifies 1% ers and their antics. Having worked and dealt with our local Chapter of the Outlaws MC I KNOW what they are about,....... I've also attended many Bike Weeks and Biktoberfests and never had an issue with them as when I was off,.. I was OFF. I know that their hey day is pretty much over and they rarely wear their colors as they are " legitimate ", now so they say. Whats the draw to the show? I'm open to being educated.

You're right but I believe "ChattanoogaPhil" answered correctly. Personally, I've lived around, rode with, and consider some of the local OL members friends of mine. I've also gotten to know a few "81ers" from a chapter down east from here as well as several Ols' from other state chapters. Knowing them and calling a few friends doesn't mean that I would have ever considered wearing their cuts though as I do know a little of what truly goes on. I will say this however - having a few friends in these MC's can have a few benefits. "Sons of Anarchy" is a very violent show that has crossed into the realm of complete unrealistic. In reality, martial law would have been instituted and the state's national guard would have been mobilized. Its all a Hollywood attempt to make an almighty dollar in a society that loves it. The lifestyle depicted does have a theme of dread and personally, makes me feel sad for the children of people like Jackson. I also believe it has run its course and the producers should have just ended it last year.

Keep the shiny side up!
 
One major event in the show two seasons back was not handled the way a major MC would have. Opie's funeral.

Back in the early 1980's we had an MC in PA called "The Seekers".
One of the patched members who was originally from my small western PA hometown died in prison. When they had his funeral and burial procession at the local cemetery over two hundred Seekers showed up on their bikes! Quite a sight. Haven't seen a Seekers patch since the early 1990's.

All the chapters of the SOA should have been in attendance at a beloved member like Opie's funeral. Oh well, the uneducated masses never noticed.

You're so right "steamloco76"! Similarly and with no mention MC names, a very close friend of mine passed away several years ago. He used to belong to a MC that ceased to exist after several members got themselves into deep trouble with the law. When all that took place, he returned to our hometown leaving the "life" behind and other members of the defunct club swore allegiance to other "bigger" clubs. When he died, ALL his former "brothers" arrived for the funeral. Two gave a rather R rated sermon at the funeral home the day of his funeral and covered him with his old cut. At the cemetery, one old member dumped a half of bottle of Jack Daniels in the hole on top of the vault and then chugged down the other half himself. They wouldn't allow anyone other than old club members and family to throw any dirt in the grave so they all grabbed borrowed shovels to do the job which only took them about 15 minutes or so. After the funeral, they all arrived at the post funeral dinner and partied like it was their last. It was a truly remarkable day!!
 
Is everybody still hanging in till the end? The last episode was a wild one, but all was expected except for Wayne getting caught up in the middle. I hate to see the show end but can't wait to see what happens next week.
 
I love this show. This is great TV as long as you completely suspend your disbelief and forget all you may know, especially about law enforcement. Otherwise, you get dizzy from shaking your head.
When people ask me how a half-way educated person can watch this stuff, I explain to them it's like "Game of Thrones" for middle-aged guys with beer bellies, except slightly more fantasy, sex and violence, and with motorcycles instead of dragons. They usually get that, although I'm still considered weird. But I'm used to that ever since I put the "Breaking Bad"-theme as the ringtone on my phone.
I hear Kurt Sutter is trying to sell the concept for a prequel set in the 60s. There sure won't be enough characters alive after this season for a sequel
 
Best TV since 24. All the previous seasons are now on Netflix and I've recorded all the shows for this season. Sometime in the not too distant future I'll do a SOA marathon:)

Kurt has dramatically reduced the payroll lately. :D
 
Obviously a mistake was made and a few copies of the book have been shipped out, which wasn't supposed to happen until the day after the finale. So the ending has been given away. You can see the full story with a quick search of sons of anarchy book. Personally, I didn't read far enough into it to find out what happened in the end and don't want to know until the final episode.
 
I'm here til the end. I'm glad poor Juice is out of the prison love business at last. Glad to see "Mama" take a walk in the garden.

Maybe we'll get a "Tiggie Lives Venus" spinoff!
 
I read some postings from the actors about another show a lot of them are all working on together. I'm assuming by the comments made its a spin off. But I love the show. I wish some of the people would have made it through the end, I wish Opie and his old man would have made it Just to name a few. I think Tara wasn't a true ol lady and figured when she started being sneaky she wasn't gonna make it. I figured if Wayne had made it this far he would make it til the end so that kinda shocked me. The afterword show helps explain something's and feelings why things have happened during the season. U can watch them online it might help some understand. ...then again if I have to explain u will never understand lol just kidding old Harley riding saying.
 
I couldn't wait until finally Gemma got hers,nobody deserved it more! I am sorry the old lawman got it too,he was really a pretty good man at heart,but perhaps it beat what he was facing.I can't imagine how it will end up ,but in the old days none of them would never have been allowed to live.Times have changed.
 
I thought for sure that Juice was going to make it and Wayne's killing shocked me. It seems that everyone wanted Gemma gone since the very first episode and now that she is, one certainly knows the series is over. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that my guess is that Jax will lose it completely and will go by his own hand leaving Chibs president or they will end it much the same way "The Sopranos" did. Then again, it's pretty difficult to get into the mind of Kurt Sutter. I can't wait to see the finale but at the same time I hate to see it end.
 
I'm going out on a limb here, Tara was turning states evidence against the club. Jax should have killed her himself.

The only thing Gemma did wrong was hide it from the club and Jax. What her and Juice set in motion with their lies was were the real damage was done.

I know Tara got a raw deal being implicated in the killing of the nurse by giving Otto the cross he used, but still she was becoming a RAT.

On the Sopranos the actress that plays Wendy, was making a similar play and the family took her out.
 
Jax made some kind of deal with the other Presidents regarding his killing of Jury. I bet he gets a Mayhem vote and Chibs puts him down, in exchange for some kind of arrangement that magically lets the club survive in a way his old man would have approved of.
 
As the character Sutter loosely based Jax upon died, I think it would only be fitting for Sutter to pay final homage by killing Jax as well. I only hope Nero makes it out alive. He is the only character who carries some form of morality even amongst a life of lawlessness. The rest of the characters have shown very little remorse for some heinous actions,r despite a few random acts of kindness. They chose a lifestyle and accepted the risks. Jax has reached a point of no return, especially after shooting Unser.

There's some kind of show or movie called Street Level (it's the hashtag that keeps showing up everywhere) that a ton of characters from sons of anarchy are working on. I have tried researching what in the world it's about or even if it's a show or movie etc....does anyone know? But the #finalride is over and I enjoyed the hell out of it

Well, what did y'all think? I don't want to say too much and ruin it for someone who hasn't seen it yet but I thought it was a good ending that left a lot of room for........!
