A Comanchero member has faced court today over one of the shootings — at an Ingle Farm home last month. Ethan Ericson, 26, was charged with discharging a firearm, possessing a firearm without a licence and affray. 00:00 Welcome the Black Widows Motorcycle Club 00:51 Raging Knights Motorcycle Club Statement 04:05 Here’s how you can help the Raging Knights Motorcycle Club 05:02 Calaveras Motorcycle Club honor fallen brother 07:15 Vietnam Vets honor another with flag 08:18 Don’t play with fire 09:57 HELLS ANGELS & CONCHEROS MC LIKELY RESPONSIBLE 🔥Trademark law does not let a trademark owner exert its trademark rights to stop news reporting about it or its products or services. You see proof of this everyday on the front pages of newspapers, the homepages of news websites, and countless blogs. Mainstream reporters and non-traditional journalists routinely report on earnings announcements, job lay-offs, and accounting scandals without worrying that they are infringing or diluting the trademarks of the companies and organizations they report on. There are several legal bases for this result: there is no risk of confusion between the news source and the trademark owner; nominative fair use protects this use of the trademark owner's mark; and the federal dilution statute expressly exempts "news reporting and news commentary" from a dilution claim. See 15 U.S.C. § 1125(c)(3)(B). As noted above, one court has held that a blogger's critical commentary on a company qualified as "news reporting and news commentary." See BidZirk, LLC v. Smith, 2007 WL 3119445 (D.S.C. Oct. 22, 2007). Trademark law does not permit a trademark owner to use its trademark rights to silence commentary and criticism. As with news reporting, courts recognize the important First Amendment values at stake and usually deny efforts by trademark owners to encroach on legitimate commentary and criticism. There are several legal bases for this result: there is no risk of confusion between the commentator and the trademark owner, and nominative fair use may protect this use of the trademark owner's mark. Additionally, courts are likely to find that your use of a trademark in commentary or criticism is "not in connection with a good or service" and "noncommercial" (the argument is especially strong for the latter category). But note that some courts may find your use of a trademark for criticism and commentary to be commercial if you host advertising or link to commercial websites. In any event, to defeat a trademark dilution claim, you do not even need to show that your use is noncommercial. The federal dilution statute creates a categorical exemption for "criticizing . . . or commenting upon the famous mark owner or the goods or services of the famous mark owner." 15 U.S.C. § 1125(c)(3)(A)(ii). 🔥 #Harley #HarleyDavidson #Biker #Protocol #MotorcycleClub #MC #Tradition #MotorcycleRally #Motorcycles #bikers #outlawmotorcycleclubs #bikerlife

Brotherhood & Betrayal, New Age of Biking & Brotherhood and Iron Order https://amzn.to/3mao5oI ================================================================= In 2008, nearly 80 Mongols members were charged in a sweeping racketeering case that included an array of alleged murders, assaults and drug deals. The charges were the culmination of Operation Black Rain, an investigation that centered on paid informants and undercover agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives who infiltrated the club’s ranks. Prosecutors devised the strategy of stripping the Mongols of its trademarks in this earlier case. At a news conference announcing the charges, then-U.S. Atty. Thomas P. O’Brien laid out the strategy, saying that taking control of the trademarked insignia would give the government the authority to force Mongols members to remove their image from their riding jackets. 00:00 WHY ARE THEY DOING THIS 00:54 This is why it’s important 04:30 Was it Wrong the relationship 07:00 What is the motion to vacate about 11:09 The first of it’s kind legal fight 14:28 The prosecutor jumped on this 🔥Trademark law does not let a trademark owner exert its trademark rights to stop news reporting about it or its products or services.

Brotherhood & Betrayal, New Age of Biking & Brotherhood and Iron Order https://amzn.to/3mao5oI ================================================================= Fifty years ago, the summer of ‘72, I landed my first job in advertising. McMullen Advertising was the “in-house” agency for AEE Choppers, manufacturers of custom motorcycle parts. This was three years after the movie “Easy Rider.” We toiled in cahoots with Street Chopper Magazine. Motorcycle impresario, Tom McMullen, lorded over all three enterprises. Possessing an uncanny knack for photographing choppers, the magazine dispatched a mechanic and me on a cross-country summer spree to biker events. Our van hauled Tom’s uber-cherry Harley Sportster and a sleek Honda 750. My hair was long. I was unshaven. I stopped bathing to not only look – but smell the part. Our itinerary took us from Southern California up to Reno, Nevada; Boise, Idaho; Chicago and Cleveland, culminating in Laconia, New Hampshire’s motorcycle mecca. 00:00 Opening 01:57 Letter to editor Sonny Barger Hells Angels MC 07:21 Bikers help police relax 10:51 Why Kim Coates won’t play a biker anymore 13:06 JUDGEMENT DAY BANDIDOS MC MEMBERS STEAL RIVAL MC'S PATCH 🔥Trademark law does not let a trademark owner exert its trademark rights to stop news reporting about it or its products or services.

If you know who Barger is, you may be surprised that he was still alive in 2022 anddied quietly at home, rather than in some drunken knife fight. Born October 8, 1938 in Modesto, California, Sonny Barger founded arguably one of the most notorious and well-known biker gangs in America at just 19 years old. While not the founder of the original gang at large (the Hell’s Angels were founded in 1948 in Fontana, California) Barger was known for turning the Hell’s Angels lifestyle into an iconic piece of America’s counterculture. 00:00 Introduction 00:44 Why I’m not happy with this article 03:15 I don’t care honestly 03:56 HELL HAS ANOTHER ANGEL 06:00 Here’s what really got me 07:45 Here’s your first example 09:57 Here’s you second example 11:05 Here’s your third example 12:43 Here’s your fourth example 14:54 The reaction 🔥Trademark law does not let a trademark owner exert its trademark rights to stop news reporting about it or its products or services.

#motorcycleclubs #onepercenter #mcprotocol An unindicted co-conspirator is a person who is identified by a law enforcement officer to have engaged in a conspiracy, but who is not charged in the indictment charging that person’s fellow conspirators. Prosecutors may name persons as unindicted co-conspirators for: grants of immunity, pragmatic considerations, and evidentiary concerns. The term unindicted co-conspirator was familiarized in 1974. The term ‘co-conspirator’ is not different from the ‘conspirator’. Therefore an unindicted co-conspirator is also known as unindicted conspirator. Although the use of unindicted co-conspirators in not prohibited by law, the United States Attorneys' Manual generally recommends against naming unindicted co-conspirators. 00:00 Introduction to an UNINDICTED CO CONSPIRATOR 01:54 What is an unindicted co conspirators 04:33 This is what a real prosecutor is supposed to be about 08:49 US V TURNER 12:15 US V Rodriguez https://definitions.uslegal.com/u/unindicted-co-conspirator/ https://casetext.com/case/united-states-v-turner-2010 https://casetext.com/case/united-states-v-rodriguez-42#p1552 https://www.bafirm.com/publication/informers-in-civil-cases-keeping-the-snitch-a-secret/ 🔥Trademark law does not let a trademark owner exert its trademark rights to stop news reporting about it or its products or services.

#HARLEYDAVIDSON #HARLEY #HARLEYDAVIDSONWARRANTY Federal regulators have accused Harley-Davidson and Westinghouse of imposing illegal warranty terms on customers and ordered them to fix their warranties and ensure that their dealers compete fairly with independent repair-makers. The companies have imposed illegal warranty terms that voided customer warranties if they used anyone other than the companies and their authorized dealers to get parts or repairs — restricting their options and costing them more money, the Federal Trade Commission announced Thursday in actions against the Milwaukee motorcycle maker and MWE Investments, which makes Westinghouse-brand outdoor power generators and related equipment. Under a proposed consent agreement with the agency, the companies will be prohibited from telling customers that their warranties will be voided if they use third-party services or parts, or that they should only use branded parts or authorized service providers. 00:00 Intro 01:07 My personal experience with an extended warranty from Harley-Davidson 02:55 FTC Harley-Davidson engaged in illegal practice regarding warranties 05:50 Harley Davidson imposed illegal conditions 07:17 Harley Davidson goal was to put independent shops out of business 08:41 The Right to Repair policy 11:26 I have a bad taste in my mouth for Harley Davidson https://www.clickondetroit.com/news/politics/2022/06/23/fix-the-hog-harley-westinghouse-ordered-to-fix-warranties/ 🔥Trademark law does not let a trademark owner exert its trademark rights to stop news reporting about it or its products or services.

Compared to season three, that’s down by 24% in the demo and down by 19% in viewership.
