Have you ever thought about this? When the baloney really hits the fan here in America, if or when our Nation collapses because of ignorant politicians, who will the average man, like you and me, be fighting? Will our own soldiers turn on us? Or will China and Russia team up, as it appears they are doing, and comes here to attack America, and we US citizens have to fight them? Not just the soldiers. Why is it so important to these imbeciles in DC, who want to take away our weapons, especially rifles, from us? I mean we know if “they” disarm us, whether “they” are friend or foe, it will be very easy to defeat us without them! Will American soldiers turn on us? Will police officers turn their weapons on regular citizens? Who will give the word, to charge, to bring their “rank and file” against all Americans, whether little babies in the arms of their mommas, or the old lady down the street, just wanting to live her life out in peace? Politicians? Whether federal or state? Perhaps Police chiefs? I think it is time we STOP this bull chit, and oppose these stupid azz people who think they are in charge. These dumbazzes think we work for them, BUT we know the truth! It’s time to shut them up and yank the air out of their balloons of thinking they are untouchable and believing they’re the upper echelon and protected by, well whatever they think protects them. I think it’s time to do something, but what. Perhaps the first step would be to let all “men” that are 60 years and older start to march on DC. We’ve lived a pretty good life, and our days are about up anyway, and then whether they kill us or imprison each patriot, bring on all men that have military training that took the oath to “defend our nation against ALL enemies, foreign AND domestic”. And we know who the domestic enemy is, the RICH corrupt POLITICIANS, funded by Soros and such. Let us go brothers! Chops 7

As a biker, I’ve never had much respect for police officers, back in the 70’s it was a lot of profiling on us, and when I moved here, Port Orange cops followed suit. However, I have met maybe three policeman I liked, and here is the #1 cop I’ve liked from day one. Officer Chris from NSB, was the BEST. You are/were loved by many! ~ Cochise Chops 11

“Yes, I am a BIKER. I ride a motorcycle. No, I don’t
want your opinion on how dangerous it is. No, I do not run guns or sell drugs or peddle prostitution. Yes, I hang around with other bikers. As a matter of fact, the people I hang with are definitely one of a kind but have the biggest hearts I have ever seen. I gladly refer to them as Brothers, sisters and friends. You base your opinions on tv shows and movies which makes you woefully uninformed. I refer to a woman as o’lady. In our world, this is the highest compliment you can bestow upon your significant other. This shows that the two of you are in a relationship, and no one... NO ONE... messes with that. This woman is under his protection. This extends to other ol’Ladies as well. I will protect my Brother’s ol’Lady to my last breath as I would my own. If you see me riding through your neighborhood I am not casing your house. I am not looking to do a drive-by. Odds are, I am going to meet my Brothers, help a Brother, going to a benefit for a charitable cause, or just cruising. Some pray . We mow our lawns. We play with our babies and grand children etc. We are members of the PTA. The point of this rant is this... just because you fancy yourself an expert on something because you spent 1 hour a week getting your education from a network show, do not assume you know me or my Brothers. Don’t judge us... we may be sitting next to you and you wouldn’t know it. Spend some time and get to know us if you can. You’ll find yourself pleasantly surprised, and thankful that we’re around or close by. Trust me, you need us a lot more than we need you.” ~ Unknown Arthor Chops 14

Tolerance will reach such a level that intelligent people will be banned from thinking so as not to offend the imbeciles“ Dostoevsky I need to rant for just a moment. I’m getting old and I’ve worked hard all my life. I have made my reputation, the good and the bad, I didn’t inherit my job or my income, and I have worked hard to get where I am in life. I have juggled my job, my family, and made many sacrifices up front to secure a life for my family. It wasn’t always easy and still isn’t, but I did it all while maintaining my integrity and my principles. I made mistakes and tried to learn from them. I have friends of every walk of life and if you’re in my circle, it should be understood that I don’t have to remind you of what I’d be willing to do for you. However.... I’m tired of being told that I have to “spread the wealth” to people who don’t have my work ethic. People who have sacrificed nothing and feel entitled to receive everything. I’m tired of being told the government will take the money I earned, by force if necessary, and give it to people too lazy to earn it themselves. I’m really tired of being told I must lower my living standard to fight global warming, which, no one is allowed to debate. I’m really tired of hearing wealthy athletes, entertainers and politicians of all parties talk like their opinions matter to the common man. I’m tired of any of them even pretending they can relate to the life and bank account that I have. I’m tired of people with a sense of entitlement, rich or poor. I’m upset that I’m labeled as a racist because I am proud of my heritage. I never stole any ones land, the government did that.. I’m tired of being told I need to accept the latest fad or politically correct stupidity or befriending a group that’s intent on killing me because I won’t convert to their point of view. I’m really tired of people who don’t take responsibility for their lives and actions. Especially the ones that want me to fund it. I’m tired of Chops 46
hearing them blame the government, or discrimination, or big-whatever for their problems. Yes, I’m really tired. But, I’m also glad to be in the twilight of my life. Because mostly, I’m not going to have to see the retched, depressing world these young useless idiots are creating. And lastly, because even though I shouted from the rooftops, no one listened or seemed to give a damn. You reap what you sow, and so do your children. No one is entitled to anything. You have a choice to work, a choice to stay off drugs, a choice to make something of yourself. I have nothing to do with your choice. That’s all on you. You are entitled to what you earn. There is no way these thoughts will be widely publicized, unless each of us sends it on! Surely, the politically correct police censors will try to quiet us.

Confederate veteran, (and also a desserter from such) legendary mountaineer and hunter, successful entrepreneur, exceptional marksman, and family patriarch of the feuding Hatfields, Captain William Anderson “Devil Anse” Hatfield (1839-1921) was known internationally by the time this photograph was taken. An article in Confederate Veteran magazine, in the October 1900 issue, stated, “Devil Anse goes always with a Winchester, a sack around his neck full of cartridges, a pair of good Smith and Wessons, and, I am told, that a pair of good Damascus blades luxuriate constantly from his boot legs … He virtually sleeps with one eye open, or, as someone said, ‘sleeps on one side at a time.’ “He has been hounded by officers and enemies so long that he is ever alert and watchful, so much so that, in addition to the five senses being all perfect, the boys say that he has also an eye in the back of his head … He was a good Confederate soldier, and is far more to be pitied now in his near three score and ten than condemned.” Shown here, with thick leather boots, lever-action Winchester, shell-belt, with plenty of ammo: The Devil was ready for any circumstance or trial. He’s shown mounted on a magnificent animal—his favorite horse, Fred.

Randolph “Randall” or “Ole Ran’l” McCoy (October 30, 1825 – March 28, 1914)[1] was the patriarch of the McCoy clan involved in the infamous American Hatfield–McCoy feud. He was born the fourth of thirteen children to Daniel McCoy (1790–1885) and Margaret Taylor McCoy (1800–1868) and lived mostly on the Kentucky side of Tug Fork, a tributary of the Big Sandy River. During the almost thirty-year feud with the Hatfield clan under their patriarch Devil Anse Hatfield, Randolph would lose five of his children to the violence. During the American Civil War, the feud leaders from both families were staunchly pro-Confederate, and Randolph himself served in the 45th Virginia Infantry Battalion Confederate Army during the opening years of the war and was a POW from 1863 to 1865.[3][4] He later returned to Kentucky. However, Randolph’s younger brother, Asa Harmon McCoy, enlisted in the Union Army as “Asa H McCay” in Co E of the 45th Kentucky Infantry USA.[5] He was discharged from the Union Army on December 24, 1864, after suffering a broken leg, and returned home. Soon after his return, Jim Vance, uncle of Devil Anse Hatfield, and a member of the “Logan Wildcats” militia put Asa Harmon on notice that they (the Wildcats) would soon be paying him, “a visit.” Asa Harmon McCoy tried to escape by hiding out in a local cave, but was tracked to his hideout and killed. No charges were ever filed but it was widely known that Vance and members of Hatfield’s Wildcats were directly responsible for his death. In the late 1870s, Devil Anse Hatfield was involved in a land dispute with Randolph McCoy’s cousin, Perry Cline, over a 5,000-acre tract of land that both held title to. Hatfield eventually brought a civil suit against Cline. Hatfield won in what was seen by the McCoys as a Hatfield-friendly court. In the fall of 1878, Randolph “Randall” McCoy brought charges against Floyd Hatfield for stealing one of his hogs. This allegation was a very serious offense at the time, as hogs were extremely valuable to the farming economy. Due to the statements made by Bill Staton, who was related to both families,
Chops 53
the case was decided in favor of the Hatfields. The ruling further inflamed the feud, as Randolph McCoy viewed the outcome as unfair. Later, brothers Sam and Paris McCoy were accused, tried, and acquitted of the death of Staton when the judge ruled Staton’s death an act of self-defense by the McCoy brothers. Randall’s daughter Roseanna McCoy romanced “Johnse” Hatfield and later became pregnant with Johnse’s child. Upon learning of the affair, Randolph became extremely upset and disowned her. Roseanna, unwanted by both families, moved in with her uncle Uriah and “Aunt Betty” Elizabeth (Rutherford) McCoy. Johnse later married Roseanna’s cousin, Nancy McCoy. Roseanna’s baby died before her first birthday and the abandoned Roseanna died at the age of 29. The peak of the feuding occurred when three of Randolph’s sons (Roseanna’s brothers) killed Ellison Hatfield, brother of Devil Anse, on election day in 1882. Devil Anse retaliated for the killing of his brother by executing, without trial, Tolbert (b. 1854), Pharmer (b. 1863) and Randolph Jr. (b. 1864), three sons of Randolph McCoy near present-day Matewan, West Virginia. On January 1, 1888, “Cap” Hatfield and Jim Vance led several members of the Hatfield family to attack the McCoy cabin. Randolph’s house was burned to the ground and numerous family members were slain by the Hatfields, including two of Randolph’s children. His son Calvin was killed in the shootout as was his daughter, Alifair, who was shot to death as she tried to flee the burning house. Randolph’s wife Sally was badly injured when she attempted to comfort Alifair, suffering several broken ribs and skull fractures. She survived the beating but was disabled for the rest of her life. With his house burning, Randolph and his remaining family members were able to escape to the woods; unfortunately, his children, unprepared for the elements, suffered frostbite. He moved his family to Pikeville, Kentucky, where he lived out the remainder of his life in bitterness and grieving. He operated a ferry in Pikeville for some time, and the home he lived in still stands at the intersection of Main Street and Scott Avenue. By the end of the feud, he had lost seven of his children and his wife. Shortly after the New Year’s massacre, Kentucky deputy Frank Phillips and a posse of McCoys chased down Jim Vance and Cap Hatfield, killing Vance. Phillips’ posse rounded up nine Hatfield family members and supporters and hauled them off to jail. Randolph McCoy died at the age of 88 after he was severely burned from a cooking fire. He is buried in the Dils Cemetery in Pikeville, next to his wife who died in the 1890s.
