The Hells Angels love triangle
The Dustin LaFortune torture case has reopened the Danny Tokarchuk murder trial. Although that case was complicated and had contradictory accusations one underlining thread emerges. The Zig Zag crew sold drugs for the Hells Angels and was involved in several murders fighting over the drugs they sold. That pattern continues in British Columbia.
Danny Tokarchuk was accused of killing Trevor Savoie. He claimed it was in self defense. They both were drug dealers affiliated with the Zig Zag crew in Winnipeg which is a puppet club of the Hells Angels. Tokarchuk claimed he started using the product and owed money to Savoie and thereby feared for his life.
The court was told Savoie "certainly had some dangerous and physical friends who were members of the Winnipeg Hells Angles.
Kevin made a videotaped statement to police shortly after Savoie's murder. On it, he said Savoie contacted him multiple times asking about the whereabouts of Daniel, who had escaped to Toronto shortly before the murder. Savoie was trying to claim his debt.
Morrison noted that Donovan had a memorial tattooed on his arm that included Savoie's face and date of death. Jurors were shown pictures of Donovan, the tattoo and several other bikers including Grant, Wolfe and Hunter.
Kevin Tokarchuk, Daniel's brother, was shot dead exactly one year after Savoie's killing in a suspected case of gang retribution. No arrests have been made.
Savoie had come looking for Tokarchuk several days before the murder, speaking with his brother, Kevin, court was told. Savoie brought along his friend, Tyler Cascisa, who had been convicted of killing one of Kevin's friends years earlier.
In a videotaped statement prior to his death, Kevin Tokarchuk told police Savoie even mentioned speaking to their mother if Daniel -- who was hiding out in Ontario -- didn't surface soon.
So what do we know. We know Danny Tokarchuk murdered Trevor Savoie over a drug debt to the Hells Angels.
We know Tyler Cascisa murdered Anthony McLaughlin. The court was told Cascisa had murdered one of Danny Tokarchuk's bother Kevin's friends and that Savoie brought McLaughlin with him to speak with Kevin about his brother.
We know that after Danny Tokarchuk murdered Trevor Savoie Danny Tokarchuk's brother Kevin was murdered in retaliation.
So here is the love triangle:
Tyler Cascisa murdered Anthony McLaughlin one of Kevin Tokarchuk's friends. (However, it was not over drugs, it was a childhood rivalry. Technically it was manslaughter but to me there is nothing noble about stomping on a guys head with boots on when he is down. To me, that is murder. The point is, Savoie brought Tyler with him to intimidate Kevin because Tyler had killed one of Kevin's friends.)
Danny Tokarchuk murdered Trevor Savoie.
Kevin Tokarchuk was then murdered in retaliation.
All of these people and these deaths (except for Anthony McLaughlin) are affiliated with drugs, the Zig Zag crew and the Hells Angels in Winnipeg. Somewhat similar to B.C. n'est pas?
Perhaps Dustin LaFortune being friends with Danny Tokarchuk was his only crime worthy of such heinous torture.
You know what I find creepy? This photo of Sen Wolfe with a frail young boy sitting on his lap. You know what else I find creepy? Is that Wolfie's pal Dale Donovan would chose a frail young boy to sell crack for him and collect his drug debts.
Zig Zag crew member Trevor Savoie was 5’ 6” tall and weighed 125 lbs. Witnesses who called police after he was shot thought it was a 12 year old boy because of his size. What is with these burly bikers and these frail young boys? That is creepy.
I can understand that if tiny Trevor was Deli's friend, he would get his pictured tattooed on him as a memorial but getting a tattoo of a frail young boy is a bit creepy to me. Maybe some of the other patch members were happy he was shot. It's all Greek to me.

Hells Angel murder witness badly tortured
Dustin LaFortune moved to Calgary a few years ago from Winnipeg. He had gone missing and was seriously tortured and found dumped at a hospital. In 2004 he had testified in a Hells Angel murder trail.
In that trial, Danny Tokarchuk was accused of murdering Hells Angels associate and Zig Zag crew member Trevor Savoie. Tokarchuk claimed it was in self defense. He claimed that he had been selling drugs for Savoie, started using the product and fell into debt. He claims he owed him $15,000 and was afraid for his life.
Tokarchuk claims Savoie was following him in his car, called him on his cell phone and demanded he pull over. Tokarchuk then claimed Savoie pulled a pipe and he was afraid for his life thinking he might have a gun and shot him.
However, police claimed the cell phone records said it was Tokarchuk who called Savoie. Savoie was 5’ 6” tall and weighed 125 lbs. Witnesses who called police after he was shot thought it was a 12 year old boy because of his size. Another witness claims she saw two Hells Angels standing over the body laughing one with his foot on Savoie’s head.
Dustin LaFortune’s testimony in that trial was not significant. All it established was Tokarchuk was paranoid and did not make sense when he visited them after the shooting.
The only thing that trial does establish is that Dustin LaFortune and his brother were friends with someone who sold drugs for the Hells Angels and belonged to the zig zag crew.
The question is, what did Dustin LaFortune do when he moved to Calgary? Did his associations with the Hells Angels continue? Were the Hells Angels upset about his testimony in court? Who was his room mate and What associations did his room mate have?
The torture case is very disturbing. We need to find out who is responsible.

Hells Angels Kingpin Crew
These guys just don't quit creating new names for criminal puppets. The media reports there's a new gang in Kelowna called the Kingpin Crew. Word is some of these Kingpin Crew prospects were harassing people at Slack Alice's Show and Shine in Penticton last Saturday. Hells Angels had three tents there selling T-shirts.
I wonder if any of them know where Geoff Meisner and Brittney Irving are? Isn't Joey with the Independent Soldiers? Please advise.
They just registered their domain February 2010. So there we have it, a multitude of puppet clubs selling drugs for the Hells Angels all over B.C. The Independent Soldiers now work for the Hells Angels too. Same shit different pile.
In fact, the police claim one of the Kingpen Crew is very closely associated with the Independent Soldiers. Maybe he knows where Britney is. They speculate that the Kingpin Crew could be a spin off of the IS but it's more likely they are a spin off or a puppet club of the Hells Angels since that is who the IS work for.
In fact, "three men were spotted in a [Kelowna] nightclub last weekend wearing black vests with full crests sporting the name Kingpin Crew. The men were visiting Liquid Zoo, a Lawrence Avenue strip bar associated with the Hells Angels." Tell me, if they would cut off someone's finger for a $170 drug debt, what would they do if the debt was larger than that? Please advise.

The B.C. Solicitor General Revolving Door
Well Kash Heed does it again. B.C.'s Solicitor General resigned while he was being investigated for election fraud. He's cleared, then is reappointed to the post only to resign again hours later when it turns out the special prosecutor that cleared him was a donor to his campaign.
This is really bizarre. As much as I despise Gordon Campbell I personally don't see the Kash Heed scandal as being much of a scandal. After all we have a drunk driver for a premier who just made stiffer laws against drunk driving. He lowered the blood alcohol level that deems over the legal limit.
So Kash Heed's office sent out a nasty campaign flyer full of stereotypes against the NDP. Nothing earth shattering there. The NDP candidate complained at the time and we heard about it during the election. I don't know why it made big news when he became SG. Gordon Campbell lies all the time.
However, if he wanted to take a hard on crime stance during the election, he should follow through with it. Unfortunately, that would be wishful thinking. Gordon Campbell campaigned against the gold plated pension when he was running for office then implemented it as well as two large pay raises amid devastating budget cut backs after he was elected.
Gordon Campbell also campaigned against the HST and we can all see where that went. He rammed it in stating he would not recognize a petition calling for a referendum on the HST. Can you say Brian Mulroney? No one seems to care about the Gordon Campbell scandal(s). Not to mention B.C. Rail. Much.
The last Solicitor General, John van Dongen, resigned over another "scandal". He had too many speeding tickets. I really didn't see that as a big scandal either. Of all the limp fish in Gordon Campbell's party, van Dongen was doing a good job. Dave Hayer is one of the other few I trust in that party but it's kind of like Carol James' challenge.
Carol James is a wonderful person and a competent leader. I trust her a million times more than Gordon Campbell. However, I don't trust everyone in her party. Bruce Ralston, Mike Farnworth and Penny Priddy are all standing up against crime. I'm not so sure about all the others. However, it would clearly appear that the B.C. NDP would be much better on crime than Campbell's liberals.
Let's just hope that Gordon Campbell will go down in history like Brian Mulroney did and have his party wiped off the face of the earth as he's replaced by a balanced coalition of Bill Vandersalm and Carol James. Isn't that an ironic combination? Personally, I think it would be a good balance between the extremes.

Langley rcmp investigated 153 grow-ops in 2009
I find these numbers amazing. On May 6 2010 the Langley Times reported that the Langley RCMP claim they investigated 153 grow ops in 2009 and only charged 16 people. Now I'm not saying more or less people should be charged. I'm saying that is a huge number in relation to the size of Langley.
That's over 12 a month and almost 3 a week for every week and month of the year. We can argue about the legalization of pot until the cows come home. The fact is, that is a huge number. That's not even touching on Surrey or Vancouver where one would assume the numbers would be much larger.
Part of the problem comes from legalized medicinal marijuana grow ops. For some bizarre reason the Federal government will not let the RCMP know who has legal grow ops. So if they get a tip on a grow op, bust the grow op and find out they were one of the ones that were legal, they could get sued for damages. Now that is absolutely insane.
Then we have the problematic nature of legal grow ops in itself. Stealing Hydro and creating fire hazards as well as becoming targets of violent grow rips. Then they commonly abuse their license and provide for much more than medicinal markets. One medicinal marijuana grow op in Pentiction was caught with guns as well as providing for more then the medicinal market. Then there's the violence involved when Hells Angels take over grow ops.
Now we read of how Surrey has adopted a policy of using the fire department, bylaws officers and the police to post warning signs on suspected grow ops. Delta rejected the proposal saying they prefer grow ops to be raided with arrests made because posting warning just allows them to relocate. However, doing something as opposed to doing nothing seemingly has seen an 80% decrease in grow ops in Surrey.
So basically the situation is a mess. The Federal government not communicating with the RCMP is insane. The number of both legal and illegal grow ops is staggering. The conservative government used the argument of wanting to provide more bang for their buck in provide health care aid and what serves they will and will not pay for.
Likewise we can see two things in B.C.'s real world. The drug related violence is staggering as is the number of grow ops. Yet logic dictates there is a huge difference between smoking pot and smoking crack or meth. Without legalizing pot we can still draw a line in the sand and create mandatory minimum sentences for selling hard drugs. Mandatory minimum sentences for SELLING hard drugs not for USING hard drugs. Even if the person is selling a small quantity.
Locking everyone in jail who smokes a blunt or grows a plant has become fiscally irresponsible. Yet the prolific amount of crime that hard drug users commit to pay for their habit is staggering as is the profits the gangs make supplying them. That is what the murders in the gang war are about - greed and money.
We can't do everything but we can do something. Legalizing all drugs is socially irresponsible as is the fiscally irresponsible quest of supplying addicts with drugs. Buying an alcoholic alcohol is just plain irresponsible. And since our emergency wards have horrific lines and our wonderful medical system is grossly over burdened, we need to be more responsible in determining what medical services we will cover and what we will not. Feeding addiction is not fiscally responsible.
So draw the line and get rid of the crack and meth. Deal with that first. Fund it with criminal organization legislation seizing the proceeds of crime. This would greatly increase public safety.

Judge David Ramsay from Prince George
This story saddens me deeply. David Ramsay, a former B.C. judge from Prince George plead guilty to five charges, including sexual assault causing bodily harm, and obtaining sexual services from someone under age 18.
All of the crimes took place while Ramsay, 61, was a judge in Prince George in the mid-1990s. Ramsay's victims were mostly aboriginal prostitutes who ranged in age from 12 to 16 at the time of the assaults.
Ramsay was sentenced to seven years and was incarcerated in New Brunswick. In 2007 protesters rallied objecting to the fact that his parole hearing was not public and was being done in secret. In January 2008 Ramsay died of cancer in jail.
This case shows how absurd and misplaced the fear and paranoia is thinking we are not allowed to ever question a court judge or any of their decisions. Judge Wallace Craig has explained that it is not only the public's right to question judges and their decisions, it is their duty.
I came across the story when it mentioned two police officers in Prince George being investigated with similar offenses. One Kamloops officer sued the RCMP over being investigated.
I certainly don't want to jump on the anti police crusade. That is pointless. If ours was not a democratic society we would never hear about these kind of allegations and we would not be allowed to talk about them. My point is, no one is above the law. Not even court judges.
What Judge Ramsay did was horrific. He destroyed young girls lives. Yet what Peter Leask is doing is just as bad. His horrible decisions about gangs is destroying our communities and our province. In a democratic society judges are accountable to the public.
Prince George faces so much drug related crime from the Hells Angels and their puppet clubs the Renegades, the Crew and the Independent Soldiers. This story makes me wonder how many Ken Houstons and Rob Sidhus there are in Prince George helping them.

Hells Angels Associate caught on video cutting crack cocaine
Well this is interesting. Harold Amos was caught on video cutting crack cocaine. Famous Amos was a member of the Zig Zag crew a Hells Angels puppet club in Manitoba. He was arrested with several Hells Angels in 2004 and charged with intimidation but the charges were dropped to save the confidentiality of the informant.
Former Manitoba Hells Angels president Dale Donovan was arrested with them as well as Hells Angel Ian Grant. He's the one that had that confidential RCMP file in his home listing all the Hells Angels in Winnipeg as well as their associates and rivals.
Well, lo and behold Famous Amos is now really famous because this Hells Angels associate was actually caught on police video cutting crack cocaine. Isn't that special. Sounds like a criminal organization to me. Not only do the Hells Angels bring tons of cocaine into the country but they are directly involved in the sale of crack as well.
It is clear that the Hells Angels use their name and their reputation to not only supply the Zig Zag crew with drugs but they also use their name and reputation to discourage rival drug dealers from interfering with them. That clearly fits the definition of a criminal organization.

David Loiseau to fight in Vancouver for UFC 115
Well, David Loiseau's suspended license was indeed temporary after his RCMP record check came back clean and is now set to fight in Vancouver for UFC 115. Quebec denied his license until a criminal record check came through because of his involvement in XMMA which appears to have ties to a criminal organization.
It doesn't change the fact that the company he sold, XMMA, was later run by Hells Angel associate Burton Rice. Rice was arrested with the new Montreal Hells Angel president Salvatore Cazzetta. Police claim they used the Rice compound to traffic contraband cigarettes and crack cocaine.
Make sure you send in your photos of Bob Greene and the east Van Hells Angels at UFC 115 in Vancouver. Sounds like it'll be a great show. Maybe Randy Jones will show up with his pal Russel Peters.
First Conviction in Project Divide
Well that was quick. Project Divide was the recent RCMP sweep on the Hells Angels and their puppet club the Zig Zag Crew in Manitoba. 55 year old Blair Alford was one of four suspects that remained wanted after the crack down so he turned himself into police.
Get this, he delivered 12 ounces of cocaine to a police informant and got a 40 month sentence. That's three years plus 4 months already served no double time credit. Compare that with Chad Barrowby who received 18 months house arrest from Peter Leask for trafficking cocaine for the Hells Angels. See how B.C. is out of touch with the rest of the provinces?
Blair just made one delivery and has a daughter in university. I kinda feel sorry for him. I guess he got off easier than all the young kids that have been killed selling drugs for the Hells Angels.
Interesting to note that the deal involved a Vancouver-based associate of the Independent Soldiers gang, Daniel Hawkins, who was also arrested in the Project Divide bust. Another direct link between the Hells Angels and the new Independent Soldiers selling drugs.
More on Project Divide convictions still to come.

Mihaly Illes and Derrick Madinski
Here's a new twist. Someone quoted a post allegedly made by Anton claiming that Mihaly Illes also went to LA with Joe Bralic. Madinski and Illes were involved in the drug trade.
Illes was the guy who shot Derrick Madinski’s friend, Javan Luke Dowling, with Madinski in the vehicle. Madinski testified that he witnessed Illes cut off Dowling's head and he helped him bury the body outside Squamish. Mihaly claimed Madinski was the shooter.
Neverthelss, if Illes had gone to LA with Joe Brallic and the other two traitors, that would be significant and he would clearly be a person of interest in the Joe Bralic murder as well as Madinski and Favell.
The Tyee reports that Illes was deported back to Hungry in 2000 but Canwest reports that he slipped back into the country months after his deportastion. The Javan Luke Dowling murder happed the same year as the Joe Brallic murder so Illes must have been in the country.
