Castanet is reporting that "Solicitor General Garry Begg announced the government has put the former gang clubhouse of the Hells Angels up for sale after more than a decade of legal proceedings over its seizure."
"It's among three Hells Angels' clubhouses — in Vancouver, Kelowna and Nanaimo — that were ordered forfeited in February 2023 in what Begg calls a major victory for public safety and a severe blow against organized crime."
Kelowna Cap News is reporting that "The sale, when completed, will include a right of entry, a legal tool authorizing the Civil Forfeiture Office to take the property back if it is ever acquired and used by organized crime in the future."
I really can't imagine anyone who knows anything about East Ends history wanting to live in that house.
ReplyDeleteYeah I wouldn't want it. Kind of like buying a house on the grounds of Oakalla but no one in the area remembers Oakalla. I have mixed feeling about all this. It's definitely made the club more careful. Yet the obsession to seize the proceeds of crime leaves no incentive to stop crime. They just want to tax it and profit from it. In BC they've seized 3 clubhouses but don't make any drug busts like the other provinces do.
DeleteHey okalla was a good joint, a real jail after being out for 13yrs I was busted again, couldn't believe the new jails, so much so that I asked a guard at Vancouver pretrial when do we go to jail, he said your in it. I couldn't believe it was so shocked. 2 minutes later I was in a fight for my tobacco pouch and was put in the hole for 15 days. Even the hole was great.
DeleteSeizure of proceeds of crime is not inherently a bad idea, the problem is as you say, what they use it for. Proceeds need to be turned directly to the Treasury, with no "benefit" to be had along the way. Of course that is not how they do it, hence a massive conflict of interest and mixed motives.
ReplyDeleteI can't say Voldemort on here but Les was kicked out too? Lester Jones?
ReplyDeleteMore than one murdered within it's walls.
ReplyDeleteWe know Priscilla capped someone with his pink .22 in the Devils rejects clubhouse.
DeleteIt's actually a fairly common thing with HA and the puppet clubs they instruct. Their public position is that the clubhouse is not used for any business, but there is ample evidence to show that it is, and for good reason. It's a location they control and can work undisturbed. The North Chapter Massacre, the ones in Fresno who were using a crematorium to get rid of the bodies of four members they killed from 2014 to 2016, Cynthia Garcia and many more. The bodies were found elsewhere, but they all went from living to dead within the walls of a Hells Angle's clubhouse.
DeleteGreat work Watson. Lester Jones will be beaten to fuk probably too. I did not have his last name, just the 'Les' part. I must say this is the first fukkin thing you have been good for as far back as I can remember.
ReplyDeleteGo on, say Dam Diphole you terd. What's he gonna do to that man pussy of yours now?
People who are kicked out of the club can't do anything. However, I obey court orders. That's why I don't have the huge cash penalties you do. Keeping my agreements is an iron dome of defense. If I keep the agreements they can't touch me.
DeleteWhere's Lester Jones photo?
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure. I just know he was VP before Giles and was also convicted of drug trafficking.
DeleteSale? Who wants that place anyway but HA types. It should be demolished and the lot made bare and empty. "Nothing left".
