Make-Shift Urban Shrines

Fallen Hells Angels Memorial

A tribute to a Hells Angels leader, Mark “Papa” Guardado, has been created, mere hours after his death in San Francisco.

As a tribute to the Hells Angels leader who was shot, mourners created a make-shift urban alter, as seen in the gallery.

It’s quite a neat idea; where else can the public mourn fallen members of the Hells Angels?

Have a click through the gallery to see different attributes of the pop-up, over-night shrine honoring the late head of SF’s Hells Angels.
