Hells Angels kicked out of bars in Calgary

The Hells Angels had an annual gathering in Calgary recently and I didn't report on it because it wasn't a big deal. If they want to ride let them ride. Riding motorcycles isn't the problem selling drugs is and most of those that do, don't ride motorcycles. They're clowns like the Cub pack who ride around in SUVs.

The Calgary Herald is reporting that "Dozens of Hells Angels members were barred from city businesses but police laid no charges against any of the hundreds who came to the city for an annual national gathering over the weekend."

"Operators of businesses throughout the city notified law enforcement about the presence of the motorcycle club members, 145 of whom were then ejected under the province’s Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis Act, said city police."

I have a few comments to make on this. Bar Watch was a program that kicked anyone wearing gang colours our of a bar or nightclub and that would include OMG patches. 

Can they get kicked out even if they weren't wearing colours? What about restaurants? None of these guys are allowed to go to a restaurant? Even if they're not in colours? I think most people would think that would be excessive.

One article claimed a member said the police in Calgary aren't as in your face as they are in Edmonton. I don't think that's true. The EPS has a very bad reputation for slipping Intel to the Hells Angels. The Calgary Police seem to be a bit more aggressive hence the evictions from businesses during their gathering. 

Police say no arrests were made during the gathering and it came and went without incident which is as one member pointed out is the norm. That's true. The club doesn't usually cause problems at these high profile events. 

Except for the International gathering in Greece where several Edmonton POS beat a father to death. They all should have been stripped but they weren't. They gave Dusty a patch after he got out of prison and they gave Nick a drug line in BC so let's be honest about that. There's something seriously wrong there.

I am not saying all Hells Angels are criminals. That's not what I'm saying. There are a lot of member who aren't criminals. There are a lot of members who are. David Giles was caught on wire saying not every member is involved with criminal activity but if anyone uses the name of the club for criminal activity, they have to have that activity approved by the local executive. So the claim that all these drug dealers are acting on their own simply is not true. They have permission of the local president. 

That's why Edmonton keep forming new chapters. Everyone wants a price of the pie. It's like one big Ponzi scheme. The Edmonton Hells Angels run the Brother's Keepers in Surrey. They also run Redd Alert in the DTES and the White boy Posse in northern Alberta. Those chapters run mayor drug rings just like the Wolf Pack. I'm sure Bullwinkle in Calgary is harmless. 

The recent news articles about the gathering in Calgary bring up some interesting past history. It claims "In February 2001, the trial began in the case of former Calgary club president Kenneth Szczerba, who was accused of plotting to blow up the homes of alderman Dale Hodges and two other people. Hodges was a strong opponent of the Angels’ clubhouse being built. Szczerba was later found guilty." I find that hard to believe. 

Blowing up an Alderman is pretty extreme. The fact that it was a plot that never happened tells me it was a sting. The police orchestrated it and lured him into it. 

However, at that time "City police raided the Hells Angels’ Calgary clubhouse in Ogden and other locations in March 2001, seizing 11 kilograms of cocaine and other drugs, along with weapons. Charges were laid against 43 people, eight of them members of the club’s Calgary chapter."

That is a little more believable. In the article members say that was a long time ago and it was. But it did happen. This was a drug ring approved by Ken Szczerba who was the local president at the time. It's the same pattern.

After that, the drug gang war between the FOB and the FK in Calgary was tied to the Hells Angels. FOB was supplied by the Independent Soldiers a Hells Angels puppet club in BC while the FK were supplied by the UN out of BC. The Independent Soldiers have been replaced by Gumby's Wolf Pack.

So the Hells Angels aren't all drug dealers but many of them are and those that are have the permission of the local president.
