Hells Angels funeral for Sonny Barger expected to draw thousands as sheriff warns of possible violence
[FoxNews] A motorcycle gang's upcoming funeral is causing concern with local law enforcement.

Hells Angels motorcycle club founder Sonny Barger died June 29 following a cancer diagnosis. He was 83.

San Joaquin County Sheriff Pat Withrow is warning the public that the founder's funeral has the capacity to see serious violence.

The funeral is being held Saturday from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the 99 Speedway on North Wilson Way.

"I am bringing in substantial resources to protect the safety of the general public from the violence and danger that may result from this event," Withrow said at a press conference Friday.

Barger — who starred in "Sons of Anarchy" as Lenny the Pimp — shared a pre-scheduled Facebook post announcing his death in June.

"If you are reading this message, you’ll know that I’m gone. I’ve asked that this note be posted immediately after my passing," the message stated. "I’ve lived a long and good life filled with adventure. And I’ve had the privilege to be part of an amazing club."

"Although I’ve had a public persona for decades, I've mostly enjoyed special time with my club brothers, my family, and close friends," the message continued.

#3 ....He shuffled off this mortal coil on June 29th, and they're just getting around to it now to plant him in the cold, cold ground?
