10 Most Hated Sons Of Anarchy Characters

8. Ethan Zobelle

Ethan Zobelle is almost the opposite of a Georgie Caruso.€“ As played by the normally warm, fluffy and cuddly Adam Arkin and introduced in the season two premiere, Zobelle is a local cigar store owner that secretly runs the League Of American Nationalists (L.O.A.N.), a gang of ruthless while supremacists. Of course, Arkin was cast specifically because of his usual image, the implication being that these are people living in our towns: businessmen, family men. People like us.

That€™'s most of the reason to hate Zobelle, but obviously it doesn€™'t hurt that he€™'s a thoroughgoing racist scumbag. Now, the Sons have a complicated relationship with race themselves, but a Nazi is a Nazi. When Zobelle practically orders SAMCRO to stop selling guns to minorities, the MC€™s president Clay tells him exactly where to go. And then, just as we think we have things figured out for season two, Zobelle orders his cronies to abduct Gemma, Clay€™'s wife, €“and our hero Jackson€™'s mother, €“and viciously beat and rape her as a warning not to disobey L.O.A.N in the future.

Gemma Teller-Morrow is many things, and not many of those things are sympathetic€ but she'€™s the hard-nosed mother-figure of the show, and there are some things you just don'€™t do. Zobelle€™'s plan, such as it is, backfires when Gemma doesn'€™t even bother telling Clay or Jax who assaulted her. Nevertheless, we€“ know, and we can'€™t wait for Zobelle to get his.

Unfortunately, we have to make do with his daughter, the equally repellent Polly, and his henchman A.J. Weston (who orchestrated and participated in the assault on Gemma), because Zobelle is an FBI informant, and skips town to Budapest to avoid the Sons€™ retribution. That€™'s right, Ethan Zobelle is a misogynist Nazi and a grass. Let€™s hope they finally catch up with him in season seven.
