    Gimme Shelter quotes

    • Sonny Barger: They started messin' over our bikes - they started it. I don't know if you think we pay $50 for them things or steal 'em or pay a lot for 'em or what. Ain't nobody gonna kick my motorcycle! And they might think that because they're in a crowd of 300,000 people, that they can do it and get away with it. But, when you're standing there, lookin' at something that's your life and everything you've got is invested in that thing and you love that thing better than you love anything in the world, and you see a guy kick it - you know who he is. You're gonna get 'em! And, you know what, they got - got!

    • Sonny Barger: I am not no peace freak, by any sense of the word. And you can call them people flower children and this and that. Some of them people was loaded on some drugs. That it's just too bad we wasn't loaded on, because, they come runnin' off of the hill yellin': ahhh-ahhhh-ahhhh! You know and jump on somebody and it wasn't even always jumpin' on Angels. But, when they jumped on an Angel, they got hurt.
