Introduction
Peter Edwards, National Bestseller and author of Unrepentant and The Bandido Massacre, writes about a true story of bikers, brotherhood and betrayal. Outlaw motorcycle clubs started to attract nationwide attention in the media for their illegal and violent actions as a subculture. They were almost always displayed as “the people your parents warn you about” and portrayed as a group that should not be messed with.

Every family has its rules, especially families consisting entirely of brothers. Some of these laws were: “Any brother who commits suicide, would not be allowed to have a Bandido funeral”. In The Bandido Massacre, Boxer was 10 years younger than Wayne and joined the club later after a marriage brake up. He saw Kallestine as a big brother that made him feel stronger and feel a little bit more free. Kallestine always knew what was going on he never had doubt.
