Since I have people in my grill on both sides of this debate, I will clarify my position to set the record straight. I do not believe the Hells Angels are a criminal organization collectively despite the fact that many members are criminals and do business in the name of the club. I believe the criminal org test should be conducted on a chapter by chapter basis.
Just so we are clear, my disdain for the Kelowna chapter has not diminished. The David Giles wire tap showed us that not all members are involved in criminal activity but anyone who does use the name of the club has to have permission from the local executive. So when the Kelowna chapter murdered Britney Irving, the local executive had to have approve if not order that murder. That makes the entire executive guilty of conspiracy to commit murder just like when the East Vancouver chapter ordered the murder of Paul Percy Soluk at a crack house in Surrey.
The regular members become culpable when they elect and sustain that kind of an executive.
The Hells Angels have been collectively involved in the Surrey drug trade since the Surrey House of Horrors. The Hells Angels were responsible for the Surrey Six. Jamie Bacon was not trying to tax Cory Lal on behalf of the Triads. The Triads wouldn't give an idiot like Jamie Bacon the time of day. Jamie Bacon tried to tax Cory Lal because he was being taxed by the Hells Angels.
Like I keep saying, drugs in clubs or to people who want it and can afford it is none of my business. Giving the homeless crack for free then beating the life out of them afterwards for payment is my business. If you don't front addicts drugs, there are no drug debts. What they did to Janice Shore is my business. Terminating Larry Mizen's contract in the way that they did was bullsh*t because Lenny the Weasel knew exactly what Larry was doing at the time. They only terminated his contract after what he was doing went public and they got bad press. Lenny was ultimately responsible for what happened to Janice.
Selling people fentanyl, telling them it's cocaine, is my business.
Giving sex trade workers drugs then taking all their money when they get a trick is not consensual. It is human trafficking. The Hells Angels are involved in the Surrey prostitution trade and the police are standing beside them watching it. The police complaining about a firefighter posing with a member of the Hells Angels is insanely hypocritical when they refuse to arrest the drug dealers and pimps on the Surrey strip that brutalize the homeless on a daily basis.
The Dianne Rock story is my business. Diane Rock claimed she was gang raped on the Pickton farm by bikers and cops. Not all cops gang raped Dianne Rock but some did. Likewise, not all Hells Angels gang raped Dianne Rock, but some did. Piggy's Palace was a sleazebag dive after hours run by Dave Pickton for the Hells Angels.
Jesse's after hours was fine. Piggy's Palace was not. When witnesses claimed to have seen a picture of Dave Pickton and Coquitlam Cop Jim Brown in a threesome, the Coquitlam RCMP kicked in the whistleblower's door and destroyed the evidence. When the Missing women's inquiry heard that the Hells Angels were involved, Wally Opal shut down the inquiry.
The New York model confronted police corruption and street level drug trafficking. I was there. I saw it. That is the model that I support. Ever since the OMGU was disbanded after the David Giles drug bust and the Johnny Newcome stolen car, bike and boat ring in Kelowna, gang enforcement in BC has been compromised. Gang enforcement in BC is just a bullsh*t smoke and mirrors PR stunt. Just so we are clear.
"When witnesses claimed to have seen a picture of Dave Pickton and Coquitlam Cop Jim Brown in a threesome, the Coquitlam RCMP kicked in the whistleblower's door and destroyed the evidence."
ReplyDeleteThe lesson to be learned from this is, when you have evidence like that, make multiple copies, stash them in a variety of places (give a copy to Dennis :wink:) and above all POST IT ON THE NET EVERYWHERE YOU CAN. Boards that are based on foreign servers are best for obvious reasons. Don't try and hold it back, giving them a chance to do what was done here. Once it's on the net it will never go away.
Exactly. I would have blurred out privates and posted it. The RCMP hired the whistle blower to investigate allegations of misconduct related to Jim Brown. When he found evidence the police said thank you, let him go and did nothing with the evidence. I spoke with two very credible witnesses that both said they saw the picture.
DeleteYeah, who would disbelieve the story about that particular pic when there was also all that stuff that Brown posted of himself wearing nothing but his RCMP issue knee boots and a jockstrap, holding a knife to the throat of some chick in cuffs. I'm not going to judge a man's particular kink (much) but the fact that he's an RCMP Sgt. takes that into another realm than if he was a civilian playing Freddy Mercury dress-up, especially given his associations with the organized criminal element. Why were we not surprised to see him go all "biker lifestyle-Sgt at Arms" of some douchebag cop club after he retired.
ReplyDeleteI would not be surprised to know that that pic still exists somewhere, perfect blackmail material if the holder ever wound up in some difficulty with the RCMP. (Might go a long way towards explaining the RCMP's selective enthusiasm when it comes to HA, never mind Wally shutting down that inquiry, no? Brown may be a fading memory but that picture would still be political dynamite to the RCMP as an organization if it ever got off the reservation. An RCMP Sergeant and a rapist/serial killer both tagging a chick whose DNA was recovered on the farm? The RCMP's reputation is already in the toilet, it would never recover from that, they'd have to disband and call it something else.
The HA are continuously working to get incriminating evidence of people of note. Remember when the HA were moving in to Alberta? They had lots of compromising pictures of the then Premier in the club's hottub at the clubhouse. They just threatened to release them and Ralph did what he could to help take the pressure off.
DeleteDo not think they are not actively, continually, setting people up with compromising pictures (remember all the "girls" they run and have owe drugs debts). The club knows they can use these "down the road" if need be.
