Is B.A.C.A. Associated With Hells Angels?

Motorcycle club culture is the strongest in the US. Many biker clubs or gangs are operating in a single area or territory. Some biker clubs operate peacefully with each other while maintaining a distance. However, some biker gangs don’t want any interference or the presence of another biker club in the same region.

Hells Angels, being one of the most ill-famed outlaw biker gangs, is declared a criminal organization by the Law Enforcement Agencies and courts. They are involved in almost all sorts of illegal activities. No biker club would love to associate with Hells Angels, except if it is another outlaw biker gang that needs support to exist.

Those associated with Hells Angels are also considered violent, promoting lawlessness. As a result, no biker club with a clean reputation working for a noble cause would like to be associated with Hells Angels.

B.A.C.A., a well-known biker club, is also often associated with Hells Angels. This question has long been going on the internet. Let’s get to know in detail whether B.A.C.A is associated with Hells Angels or not.

B.A.C.A. is not at all associated with Hells Angels. It is a charitable non-profit organization working for a good cause. The acronym (B.A.C.A.) may sound a bit intimidating, but it stands for Bikers Against Child Abuse (B.A.C.A.). The name of this biker club clearly tells its aim and purpose.

B.A.C.A. is not a biker gang; it is a biker club, including members who are devoted to giving back to the community. It stands firm against child abuse, including physical, mental, sexual, or bullying. They help protect the rights of child victims by providing them with aid, support, safety, and comfort.

B.A.C.A. stands against those culprits who are involved in child abuse. This biker club also helps victims in getting justice. These bikers help child victims get back to life once again.

On the other hand, Hells Angels is a renowned outlaw motorcycle gang (OMG). From stealing and abductions to drug and weapon trafficking, Hells Angels are involved in almost every illegal act.

Despite both these biker groups comprising bike riders who wear patches, vests, and ride motorbikes, B.A.C.A. and Hells Angels have nothing to do with each other. It is quite unjust to associate B.A.C.A. with Hells Angels.

As per John Paul “Chief” Lilly, the founder of B.A.C.A., the biker club receives support from many motorbike clubs and groups. It sometimes gets difficult to distinguish the source of the support. However, as per Chief, B.A.C.A. receives support from almost all the four biggest outlaw biker gangs, including the Outlaws, Pagans, Hells Angels, and the Bandidos.

The support is not in terms of association. Instead, it is more like a moral support to do good for society. All big outlaw biker gangs, especially Hells Angels, respect the B.A.C.A. mission and cause.

Though B.A.C.A. works for the good of the community and child welfare, the members of this biker club resemble a lot like a traditional biker club. They wear specific vests, B.A.C.A. MC patches, and headwear, including bandanas.

B.A.C.A. MC members also ride classic Harley-Davidson motorbikes. However, owning a Harley isn’t a must. The member must have regular access to a working bike while also capable of handling highway speeds.

It can be said that both B.A.C.A. and Hells Angels have adopted traditional styling, but there is no resemblance when it comes to their missions and activities.

B.A.C.A. was founded almost 30 years ago, in 1995, by John Paul Lilly in Provo, Utah, US. It is a non-profit charitable organization/biker gang working for child welfare. It exists in more than 18 countries, and it protects children from difficult situations and dangerous individuals.

Along with many actions, B.A.C.A. works as a quick response team to react to any complaint of child abuse while following all the safety protocols. It supports the child victims in many ways. They help child victims get back to life by dropping them off at school and doing regular chores for them. B.A.C.A. helps child victims and survivors to get over their feelings of fear.

B.A.C.A. MC members also support child victims and their families by keeping them company during court proceedings only if the court allows it. They also become the eye-witness and give their testimony against the abuser if required.

B.A.C.A. also organizes many charitable events and rides to raise funds for child victims.

The procedure to join B.A.C.A. MC is the same as most biker clubs. However, B.A.C.A. has a serious background check and conditions in place for those who wish to join B.A.C.A. MC. To become a full-patched member of the B.A.C.A. MC, the rider must own a bike. He must be 18 years older or above. He must go through a detailed FBI background check to ensure there is no past criminal record, especially charges related to domestic or child abuse.

Those aspirants who want to join B.A.C.A. MC are expected to complete 40-50 hours of training procedure to ensure they know the dynamics of the group. Also, they must be fully prepared to help victims while following the protocols.

As per J.P. Chief Lilly, the founder of the B.A.C.A. MC, the red color in the B.A.C.A. patch represents the color of the children's blood who have been hurt or abused. Meanwhile, the white color in the B.A.C.A. MC patch shows the innocence of children.
