| dbo:abstract | Rock Machine, auch The Rock Machine M.C. ist eine Outlaw Motorcycle Gang mit sechs kanadischen, sechs US-amerikanischen, acht australischen sowie vier deutschen Chaptern. Der Motorcycle Club wurde 1986 von gegründet, einem früheren Freund von Maurice Boucher, Präsident des Hells-Angels-Charters in Québec. Rock Machine stand im Mittelpunkt eines erbitterten Rockerkrieges mit den Hells Angels in den 1990er Jahren um den Drogenmarkt in Montreal. Weitere Gangs waren in den siebenjährigen Konflikt verwickelt, in dem es zu 160 Toten und zahllosen Verletzten kam. Nachdem Rock Machine zahlenmäßig unterlegen war, wurde der Club im Januar 2000 zu einem „Probationary Chapter“ der Bandidos. 2007 wurde Rock Machine wieder unabhängig. Der neu formierte Club behauptet keine kriminellen Aktivitäten mehr zu verfolgen und nur noch ein Club begeisterter Motorradfahrer zu sein.

(fr) The Rock Machine Motorcycle Club (RMMC) or Rock Machine is an international outlaw motorcycle club founded in Montreal, Quebec, Canada in 1986. It has twenty one Canadian chapters spread across seven provinces. It also has nine chapters in the United States and eleven chapters in Australia, with chapters also located in 24 other countries worldwide. It was formed in 1986, by Salvatore Cazzetta and his brother Giovanni Cazzetta. The Rock Machine competed with the Hells Angels for control of the street-level narcotics trade in Quebec. The Quebec Biker War saw the Rock Machine form an alliance with a number of other organizations to face the Hells Angels. The conflict occurred between 1994 and 2002 and resulted in over 160 deaths and over 300 injured. An additional 100+ have been imprisoned. Common nicknames for the organization include "R.M.", "Black & Platinum", "RMMC", and "1813". The official Rock Machine club motto is "À La Vie À La Mort", or "To the Life Until Death". The club also possesses a patch that reads "RMFFRM" which stands for "Rock Machine Forever, Forever Rock Machine", an extremely common tradition among outlaw motorcycle clubs. The Rock Machine Motorcycle Club gained the status of a "Hang-around" club in May 1999 and after eighteen months, became a probationary chapter of the Bandidos Motorcycle Club on December 1, 2000. Bandidos National Officer Edward Winterhalder was put in charge of overseeing the transition by Bandidos International President, George Wegers. The original version of the Rock Machine (1986-1999) in Canada changed their colors from black and platinum to red and gold in May 1999; their colors remained red and gold until they became "Full-Patch" Bandidos on December 1, 2001. In a "patch-over" ceremony at the Rock Machine's Kingston chapter clubhouse. A second iteration of the Rock Machine was founded in late 2008, under the leadership of Sean "Crazy Dog" Brown, they adopted the original black and platinum colours as their patch. The club's racial policy is all-inclusive and possesses members from several different ethnicities around the world including African Canadian/Americans. Despite the group's use of the Waffen SS's double lightning bolt on one of their patches, it is mainly to show respect to the club's historical roots as opposed to the racial meaning of the symbol, due to large numbers of their founding members being a part of the SS Motorcycle Club. It is also worn due to its status in the motorcycle community. It is seen as an outlaw symbol, as society dictates people should not wear it, thus outlaws usually wear it as a sign of rebellion against societal standards as opposed to racial ideology. Since 2007. The club has spread across Canada and throughout several other countries worldwide, including the United States, Australia, Germany, Russia, Switzerland, Hungary, Belgium, New Zealand, Sweden, Serbia, Norway, France, South Africa, England, Spain, Georgia, Hong Kong, Kosovo, Kuwait, Armenia, Brazil, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, Philippines and Turkey. As of 2022, the Rock Machine Motorcycle Club has established over 170 chapters on 5 continents since its inception. In the 2000s, the Rock Machine allied themselves with fellow international Canadian motorcycle club the Loners Motorcycle Club. (en) Rock Machine, o Rock Machine M.C., è una banda di motociclisti internazionale con 12 "chapter" (capitoli) in Canada, 6 negli Stati Uniti e 8 in Australia. (it) Rock Machine, ofta kallad Rock Machine M.C., är en internationell motorcykelklubb med säte i USA och Australien. Den finns även i andra länder, bland annat i Tyskland, Ryssland, Schweiz, Armenien, Indonesien, Thailand, Belgien, Nya Zeeland, Sverige, Sydafrika, Storbritannien, och Georgien. Rock Machine bildades 1986 av Salvatore Cazzetta, en tidigare vän till Hells Angels Quebecs kapitelpresident Maurice Boucher, och konkurrerade med Hells Angels om narkotikahandeln i Montreal. Quebec Biker-kriget såg Rock Machine bilda en allians med ett antal andra gäng. Konflikten pågick mellan 1994 och 2002 och resulterade i fler än 160 skadade. (sv) |
