Painting The Town OSMC

On the morning of July 5th, there was a sudden appearance of a new paint job upon Hathian’s water tower.  The logo is the familiar brand of the OSMC (Orcus Samedi Motorcycle Club) and one of their members, who asked to be anonymous, got in contact with me the other day when word was getting around about the tower’s new décor.  The seemingly quiet group, outside of a few scandals that seemed to be pinned on the group, are more known for their recent charity work; food drives for pantries and donations for the Vets than the usual less than savory recreational activities of local groups.  So when I asked about the tagging of the tower, I can honestly say I was surprised at the answer.

 

“That is a message to the people of Hathian. A street gang called the rejects have started to claim territory around Bourbon Street. They are extorting businesses for protection and disrupting peaceful commerce.  Our police have done nothing to stop the spread of this menace. Orcus Samedi MC. Will not tolerate this behavior, or these outrageous claims of ownership over our streets.  Our women, our families, and our prosperity will not be held hostage by gangs, whether they wear red armbands or blue uniforms. We own Hathian. Justice is ours.” Was stated by the OSMC member.

 

Wanting just a bit more clarification I asked if this was just a more like stating a case of being a vigilante and safety of others over a case of revenge, and it was countered with, “Of course. Personally our members simply want to ride our motorcycles, enjoy our constitutional freedoms, and enjoy our lifestyle in peace.”

 

There wasn’t any more to comment about the tagging.  But it wasn’t long before the paint job on the water tower was removed.  The mayor refused to comment on the concealment of the motorcycle club’s logo upon it.  So what does this say about our city and its civil services it when civilians need to step up to the plate?  Obviously, the people are seemingly having negative reactions to it.  I suppose time will tell what will come of this and possibly retribution from this “Public Message.”
