I was in Phoenix from 92-94. After I left Arizona, I had a New Times subscription and remember reading about the Devil Dogs (the White Power a-holes)
White Power was actually the a-hole predecessor to the Devil Dogs. I went to a private school with the Chief of Police's daughter in 93/94, we had our moments...
Left AZ in 96 for the USAF.
in that 94-96 time, I was working graveyards and running around in the Rock Star scene - my best friend's brother was literally the best sound guy in the valley, Spider. Famously, Bret Michaels refuses to work with him, stemming from the night that Spider spent an entire show in Brett's earpiece telling him how bad he sucked, as retribution for Bret being a prissy whiny bitch during sound check. But I digress...
A couple of my social acquaintances were bikers who made their living running Ecstasy out of Mexico...this was right after E went from being 'illegal' to ILLEGAL. A girl I was intent on hooking up with knew a bunch of White Power because her brother went to HS with them. Bikers happened to be in town when Girl invited me to go hang out with some of her friends. Had fun, had a little e...good times. Went to a couple more parties, but it turns out that White Power was a-ok with picking fights with white guys.
But they had horrible taste in which white guys to pick fights with...like bikers who run drugs for a living.
I wasn't there, but I was told what happened and that I wasn't welcome at their parties any more.
Then when I moved back in 2000 I heard all about the credit card scam with Devil Dogs and Sammy the Bull.
