Devils ride cast member dies

Thomas “Gypsy” Quinn – Laffing Devils Motorcycle Club

Pardon me, but your character is showing…

Companies that support reality programming are a bell weather of the culture.  Reality TV programming is an expansive industry label, and runs the gamut from Michael “Mike” Rowe (Dirty Jobs), Adam Savage (MythBusters), Jake Harris (Deadliest Catch) to Thomas Quinn (The Devil’s Ride).  The one consistent characteristic of these type of TV shows is the dramatization of “real” events and occupations.

And in The Devils Ride dramatization, there includes an element of criminality and deviance which is posed as “entertainment” and is a constant factor in their so-called everyday motorcycle club life.

Speaking of lifestyles and the failure to realize the impact on other people…  Thomas “Gypsy” Quinn (age 43 ), ex-president of the Laffing Devils Motorcycle Club (now disbanded) and star of Discovery’s – The Devil’s Ride, was arrested August 28th on suspicion of committing a lewd act with a minor.  Specifically he was arrested on suspicion of having oral sex

TV Tango: You've talked about the patch. What's the history of the club's patch?

Gipsy: The center patch is, of course, the laughing devil. My son drew the prototype for that, and then we had it digitized.

 

The name, Laffing Devils, came from when me and the founding five were outside a bar, giggling like schoolgirls. We were just out there having a good time. That was the consistent mainstay of everything we did. We were always laughing, always joking on each other, always going at it. This little old lady came out of the bar -- it was in the middle of the day, like the afternoon -- and she goes, "Oh, my god, you guys are just a bunch of laughing devils." We just kind of all looked at each other and went, "Oh, my god," because we had talked about having a club prior to that, but we just couldn't come up with a decent name.

 

We didn't want anything like Bashers. Laffing Devils has a nice ring to it, and it doesn't promote anything negative.

I blame myself

If you are into high quality shows, and expect accurate depictions of what is being advertised, this is NOT for you. Also, if your interests include documentaries about criminal organizations and true crime events, you will be disappointed by this show.

After finding an article online about a "twitter beef" between Sons of Anarchy creator Kurt Sutter, and one of these guys from the "Laffing Devils MC", I got extremely excited! My bf and I had just finished watching all SOA episodes, and I was going through withdrawal. Naturally, when I read about some "hard ass" guy threatening to take Jax's white sneakers (which now sounds ridiculous), all I could do was run home to watch these true life MC guys. I blame myself. I work w gang members and other individuals in a forensic setting, and therefore have a pretty good understanding of how these types of organizations work. Why did I think a real MC club would allow cameras? WHY DID I DO THIS TO MYSELF?! I think the real heart breake
