I was sent this link and thought I would share it. I did see Kevin walking around with a pixie stick over the weekend, I wonder if he would make the gang.
The weapons and gang charges stem from a fight in July between the Hells Angels and the Set Free Soldiers, a Christian motorcycle group.

The pastor of a Christian motorcycle club pleaded not guilty to felony weapons and gang charges today in a case that hinges on whether he heads a church ministry or an outlaw biker gang.
Phillip Aguilar, 61, pastor of the Anaheim-based Set Free Soldiers, pleaded not guilty to charges of being a felon in possession of a handgun, ammunition and brass knuckles, and of being an active participant in a gang.

Four other members of the group, including Aguilar’s 29-year-old son, Matthew Aguilar, also pleaded not guilty to weapons and gang charges, and another pleaded not guilty to attempted murder.
The charges stem from a July bar fight in Newport Beach between the Set Free Soldiers and the Hells Angels in which two Hells Angels were stabbed. In a pre-dawn raid in August, authorities seized dozens of weapons and thousands of rounds of ammunition at four homes owned by Set Free on Archer Street in Anaheim.
Police and prosecutors say the 25-year-old group has evolved into a criminal motorcycle gang in recent years, but Set Free maintains it is a Christian ministry that helps rehabilitate ex-convicts and recovering drug addicts.
On their website the Set Free Soldiers describe themselves as “a group of men who love Jesus and love to ride hard. We are not your normal motorcycle club. Some say we are too good for the bad guys, and too bad for the good guys.”
Aguilar, who is free on $50,000 bail, appeared in court wearing black, plastic-rimmed glasses, with a web-like tattoo around his left eye and a dyed blond buzz cut.
Phillip Aguilar’s attorney, Doug Myers, said he did not believe the prosecution would be able to prove Set Free is a gang, saying its members don’t have “the background that you traditionally see in gang cases.”
The court rejected the prosecution’s request to bar Aguilar from associating with members of Set Free outside his immediate family, but did order that the group could not possess “dangerous or deadly weapons.”
Myers also disputed the weapons charges, saying the brass knuckles were found in Matthew Aguilar’s dresser drawer and the gun in the drawer of his other son.
“Phil wasn’t aware of them and they’re not his,” Myers said.
Aguilar served time for child abuse in the 1970s and converted to Christianity in prison. He founded Set Free Worldwide Ministries in 1982. By the mid 1990s the group had expanded across the nation and gained thousands of followers. While the group’s reach has narrowed over the past decade, Aguilar continues to hold weekly services.
