I was wondering down a rabbit hole today on Social Media, and stumbled on the picture of an apparent brother that deeply disturbed me. The man in question was a member of a notorious 1% outlaw biker group, known for it's criminal activity. He biker vest was festooned with Confederate flags and the patches of his MC. And prominently displayed right on the right lapel was a large black and white Masonic square and compasses.
I couldn't help but feel repulsed. I recognize that he may just be some person wearing that emblem and having never actually been raised a mason, but it stuck on me that if he were, an active member of a lodge, what sickness must rest there.
I grew up in Outlaw biker groups, my father being a biker. I'm not interested in the excuses given by some. They are criminal organizations that wreak havoc and nothing more. Hardly an example of our fraternity.
Just venting
