The Darkest Hells Angels Story Ever Told 😳
The transcript recounts the brutal murder of Manny Mathias, the Hells Angels president of Rockford, Illinois, in his own bike shop. An Outlaw biker was sent to kill him, shooting him and stabbing him with a screwdriver. Despite Manny's extraordinary resilience, the attacker finished the job after being temporarily trapped in the shop.
Summary
The narrator describes the killing of Manny Mathias, identified as the president of the Hells Angels chapter in Rockford, Illinois, and a long-standing member of the club. Manny operated a bike shop, which made him a predictable and vulnerable target. An Outlaw biker was dispatched to carry out the hit at the shop.
The attacker shot Manny with a .45 caliber handgun, striking him in the shoulder and chest. Despite these severe wounds, Manny demonstrated remarkable toughness by grabbing the attacker and lifting him off the ground. The attacker then seized a screwdriver from Manny's counter and stabbed him through the neck, believing the job was done.
As the attacker attempted to flee through the back of the shop, he was foiled by overhead doors that had pins in them, preventing them from being opened. Not knowing where the pins were, he was forced to turn back and run through the shop again. In a final grim turn, the still-living Manny managed to trip the fleeing attacker, who fell into the pool of blood on the tile floor. The attacker grabbed the screwdriver once more and used it to finish killing Manny.
