Australia: Notorious former Bandido bikie Brett Pechey hands himself in to police

[phanangpete]

Looks like he could have gone into hiding anywhere, anyhow hes not the worst criminal hiding here ! Guessing ofcourse.

[Chwooly]

It was also revealed last year that Pechey accused Thai police of extorting him, with claims authorities threatened to deport him and demanded $120,000.

Haha.....oh, the irony!

Guess he was hanging out with Sharky...

All these negative comments, all from people who know nothing about this guy at all..

He is charged with an offence, that's a long way from being convicted of it. He's innocent until found guilty remember.

You don't usually get to be Pres of a motorcycle club without being an exceptional man.

Of course, this man and other biker gangs live by a code of values that is alien to 99% of Thai Visa posters.

Best advice, if you don't know what you are talking about or have nothing constructive to add... just keep quiet.

Charismatic yes, Smart possibly, but exceptional? Please define exceptional?

With that face full of tatoes, nobody will reconnais that friendly looking man.

[tomacht8]

That's today the going style by a motorbike group president?

With an Armani T-shirt and in short school turn pants?

That's shameless.

[Canuk23]

A face only a mother could love ??? and i'm not even sure of that !!!

[Dibbler]

Strange he wasn't noticed by the Thai police during his foray in this country. How does one with facial tattoos clearly identifying him slip past Thai immigration on the way in, and out of the country!! Thailand, a veritable haven for criminals.

Looks real Presidential material!! As for exceptional...charged w/ extortion, threatening violence, affray, rioting +++, yep, pretty exceptional. Scored well on both your points!! Would be a nice quiet neighbour to have living next door........

[tracker1]

PM of Australia Tony Abbott help capture this supposed criminal ! crash the ozzie dollar and you can't afford to live in the LOS so have to return to the welfare country Australia !!!

[Credo]

Finally, free and fair elections!

Maybe you should take your own advice

The Bandidos have a well documented history of extortion, protection and murder and are well known to make their money from drug manufacturing and trafficking. They openly brag about their toughness and willingness to live the 1% lifestyle. To get to president he would have had to prove himself in most if not all of the previous activities or he would not be respected by members or the world wide organisation.

What if anything could you say about this that would be "constructive" This is an element of society that chooses not to integrate or contribute to that society which it feeds from, there is nothing constructive or positive about this breed.

Their only interest in the people who share this planet with them is what they can take from them, you use phrases like "exceptional man" which to me indicates a delusional understanding of how these people operate and survive!

Seen him in Pattaya, hard to miss,

This. But I am guessing technolgybytes has notions of bing a big, bad ass biker....

[pegman]

Must have been difficult for this piece of shit to hide out too long thanks to his... distinguishing features.

Not in Patts, dime a dozen like this one!

[kingstonkid]

OK I have to ask what is a "bikie: Is that a motorcycle on training wheels. All Aussie reporters should be shot for that one it makes him sound so "cute"

My little Peachiy road in a bikie in the city L

Honestly you aussies have the strangest language.

This must be where Obama learned to talk it is not a motorcycle gang or 1 percent club it is a bikie.

OK

Do you think that Armani T-shirt and Rolex looking wristwatch are the real deal? Or Patpong specials?

The Aussie press article does say he launched his own designer clothing label!

[technologybytes]

I think most of the negativity here is based on two factors:

1. He has been accused of offences, for which he has yet to stand trial or even enter a plea.

2. The fact that he has a lot of tattoos.

Correct me if i am wrong, but there is no suggestion anywhere I can see that this man has any actual convictions. There is huge difference between being accused and being convicted.

Regarding the tattoos, I choose not to have any tattoos and personally I do not like tattoos, but I refuse to judge a man based on his choice of tattoo or the fact that he's accused of an offence for which he has yet to stand trial.

I have known very good bikers and I have known bad. The bikers that I have known (and I'm taking about full patched members) have never been the type to start trouble, but neither have they been the type to walk away from trouble that's directed at them.

For sure the core principles of biker gangs is a love of motorcycles and a brotherhood. I know that in some cases it's been a front for criminal activity and that's sad really because many of the bikers I have known have been honest, hard working and decent men.

I sincerely hope that if any of you are charged with any offence anywhere that you will be treated with enough respect to not assume guilt before a trial, I also hope that if you have tattoos that won't influence any perceptions of guilt.

OK

As long as I've been riding, which is 40+ years at this point, "bikie" has been synonymous with "biker" outside (and inside to a lesser extent) of the USA, although with lessening prevalence over time. And though the term "bikie" seems to have crossed over (from the original meaning, "bicyclist") first in Australia/New Zealand, it has been by no means exclusive to those locales. Furthermore, if these are your best attempts at disparaging either the Australian continent, or the president of the USA, it would be advisable that you seek out and pursue other hobbies.

[BlackJack]

With Australias justice system he might get a good behaviour bond,

youre obviously not up to date with the biker Laws in Australia

As a known listed bike gang it comes under the anti terrorism laws of Australia and this guys in deep

the sentencing is automatic - no trial

I hope his cell has a mirror as this guy no matter where he goes is very visable

maybe some make up foundation might help

Well, he is certainly big enough. The 2 cops look tiny but they are big enough.

You don't have to know the guy to know the type.

He is intimidating in every bone of his body. A standover man by design.

He hasn't been charged with one offence but a string of them and I say thank God that 99% of people anywhere don't live by his code of ethics.

[Evolare]

he needs more tattoos he missed a spot.

Yup, don't judge the book by it's cover....even if it's a horror story. I'm sure the young man is the envy of every mother in OZ.....and a few dads as well.....maybe? ?

[Tchooptip]

With a name like peachy, I'm sure he's his the apple of his mother's eye....

Maybe the right orthographer is pitchy?
