"Every time I think maybe I'm heading in the right direction, I end up in a place I never even knew could feel this bad," remarks the tortured and violent soul at the heart of SAMCRO (Sons of Anarchy Motorcycle Club Redwood Original), Jax Teller (Charlie Hunnam). "Sons of Anarchy" is just as much a perpetual tragedy as it is a drama. A world rife with violence, greed, and vindication only leads to one outcome. If "The Sopranos" taught us anything, it's that the life expectancy of those who shake hands with the devil while claiming a stake in a perceived family of criminals is rather short. But even among outlaw groups like the mafia or a ruthless biker gang, there are rules — a code that each member of the crew must live by. Breaking those rules will net you nothing but pain and likely death, no matter how "close" or "brotherly" you think you are to your executioners.

The FX series "Sons of Anarchy" is famous for not pulling any punches and leaving audiences gutted at the violence and devastation often wrought by warring gangs. Yet, the show gives us a glimpse into the world of those who are groomed by such circumstances. We often feel a modicum of sympathy towards these characters despite their heinous deeds. Any sense of right and wrong is defined by the code they live by, not society's definition of morality. "Sons of Anarchy" is filled to the brim with bloody, vile, and horrific moments enacted by the series' star players. It's a dog-eat-dog world out there. Let's take a look at the most shocking moments that may have us scrambling for the pause button and, perhaps, a quick rewind.
