Michael Rosen
“... it's impossible to write the whole, true story of anything. We always leave things out. We quite often put things in. Sometimes, no matter how hard we try not to, we change things. We tell the story in our own way, which might not be the same way someone else would tell it.”
Michael Rosen, Fantastic Mr. Dahl

“America needs to know this story because our Constitution is being attacked, our freedom threatened, innocent people are being framed and murdered, and the outlaw motorcycle club culture is on the verge of extinction.” – Jeff “Twitch” Burns, Patriot Gangster: Volume 1, Evolution of an Outlaw”
Jeff "Twitch" Burns, Patriot Gangster: My Experience As One Of The Most Influential Outlaw Motorcycle Club Members In American History. Volume 2: The Enforcer
