When the Government becomes PIMP

I am told the truth hurts and abuse of sex trade workers does go on in indoor brothels as well. I'm glad to hear the Tories are appealing the Ontario decision. I'm not sure Iggy would. I've already talked about some of my concerns with giving courts power to over ride democratic laws in society. I'll just clarify the concerns with how they specifically relate to the Ontario court's decision to strike down existing anti prostitution laws.

Like every decision there are up sides and down sides. As the decision stated, prostitution itself wasn't illegal in Canada. Some laws were created making some kinds of public prostitution illegal. All anyone has to do is open up a copy of the Georgia Straight or read the personal adds of any newspaper to see that there currently exists a huge tolerance for private prostitution.

It's kind of like the difference between legalizing marijuana and decriminalizing it. Human nature takes a mile when given an inch. If we legalized pot, would that mean we have to offer urine samples at road blocks instead of breath tests because driving under the influence of pot is just as bad as driving under the influence of alcohol. Sometimes things are just better off left alone.

So what's the next step - legalize prostitution completely and tax it? I spoke with one sex trade worker who opposes legalization. Most cities already make people pay for escort licenses. In Kamloops they have to pay $3,000.00 a year for an escort license. Right now the city is the pimp. If we legalized prostitution would these escorts now have to pay income tax? Would that not make escorts a target for laundering drug money?

Many would rightfully argue that the government would be a nicer pimp than the Hells Angels would. Metaphorically speaking of course. Yet if prostitution was legalized that would not get rid of the Hells Angels control and involvement. It didn't in Amsterdam. In Amsterdam the city hall was upset that the Hells Angels used extortion and bully tactics to buy a brothel for far less than what it was worth.

I'm not concerned about what goes on between consenting adults. I am concerned about dealers and pimps who turn someone into an addict then force them to a life of prostitution and abuse. Especially minors. I say abuse because most street prostitutes are abused.

I remember driving around Surrey when my kids were younger and seeing all the prostitutes pretending to be hitchhikers I said I remember back in my day when hitch hikers were really hitch hikers.

Back in the day, things were different. In Vancouver you'd see the classy hooker around Richards. If you were a heterosexual John you had to be careful around Seymour Street as that was referred to as Tranny Alley. Back in the day, enforcers would beat up Johns for abusing or mistreating the ladies. That has certainly changed.

The East Van prostitutes were very different. They were drug addicted beaten and abused. It was really sad to see. No one in their right mind would want to pay money to have sex with them. Since the crack explosion, that's what happened to the Surrey prostitute. The drugs quickly took their toll and what used to be a pretty young girl quickly became a deformed shadow of what that young laddie used to be. They're scary.

That's why I get so upset when I hear court decisions that tell me I must have a safe injection site in my neighbourhood and I must pay for it with my tax doctors. Like hell I do. There isn't enough money for real hospitals and schools so there certainly isn't enough money to buy addicts drugs. No doctor in their right mind would prescribe alcohol for alcoholics yet in essence that is exactly what some are saying.

On another side note, I heard that Judge Walker in California just overturned Prop 8 and has been getting a lot of slack over it. I also heard that he just announced that he is resigning effective December 31 2010. I'm not going to get into the Prop 8 argument. I'm just concerned when a judge starts overstepping their boundaries and starts telling me what to believe and what to spend my tax dollars on.

As a reader has pointed out in my previous post the Notwithstanding Clause of section 33 of the Charter of Rights is well worth examining. I was not aware of that loop hole and am not sure I am comfortable with it. The government can violate the Charter of Rights if it says notwithstanding. I'm not sure that's a good thing. I think the better route would be to make judges publicly accountable by creating a provision were bad judges could be recalled or simply fired.

When courts have too much power

Well we all know that power tends to corrupt and how some say absolute power corrupts absolutely. Well I think the latest decision from an Ontario court is a perfect example of that. Now I know this is going to be controversial because I totally oppose violence against and exploitation of sex trade workers. Yet there are two points to make about this slippery slope.

In BC we have witnessed the other extreme, when courts have too little power to deal with gangs and organized crime. We see the limp noodle effect or the shocking extreme of a judge throwing out good evidence for no real reason. One threw out a case even though the police got a search warrant. They said the judge erred in giving them the search warrant. Another threw out a case because although the police got a search warrant and knocked on the front door before entering, they didn’t knock on the back door as well. I kid you not.

One poor cop was so worried about these wacko judges he got written permission to search a guy’s car. The judge even threw that case out because the cop did a pat down of the suspect which was in violation of his rights. Clearly we see judges in BC that are inept or corrupt. I don’t know why McLean’s ran an article about Quebec being the most corrupt province. Clearly BC is.

OK s here’s the deal. An Ontario court has ruled that anti prostitution laws are “not in accord with the principles of fundamental justice." This decision has completely stepped off the limb into the real of the Twilight zone. It’s one thing to hold a law up to the Constitution or the Charter of Rights. All laws are subject to that higher law but to say a law created by a democratically elected government violates fundamental justice? What the hell is that?

The common term in natural justice. Regardless the term fundamental justice is subjective. Who’s definition? Who holds the golden measuring stick? Would that definition change with each person we poll? A constitution or a Charter of Rights is clearly defined on paper. The subjective concept of fundamental justice as a measuring stick gives judges absolute power over a democratic society and that is not a good thing.

Before we discuss prostitution let’s look at NAFTA. Free trade is fine but giving courts power over elected governments is not a good thing. TILMA is the same idea but more extreme. It is a trade agreement that exists between BC and Alberta that some are trying to extend across the country.

The agreement makes it illegal for any level of government to make a law that would inhibit a Corporation’s ability to make a profit. I kid you not. The implications are frightening. What if the people say they want to create a law that protects the environment?

Say a province has a lot of environmentalists in it’s constituency and says they want to ban off shore drilling or oil sands cultivation within their jurisdiction. TILMA says a Corporation could then sure that government for creating a law that inhibits their ability to make a profit and win. That is absurd. The case isn’t even heard in a court of law it’s heard in some tribunal.

What if a province wants public health care? According to the trade agreement a private corporation could sue the government because public health care inhibits their ability to make a profit. Here we see a trade agreement and a tribunal over ride a democratic society’s rights.

They say prostitution is the oldest profession. What goes on between two consenting adults is really their business. Yet the effects of prostitution and drug addiction can make a serious impact on a community. To say that it is illegal for a community to ban prostitution is as absurd as saying it is illegal for a community to ban crack houses. Yet that is clearly what some lobbyists are trying to do.

I don’t think this would help reduce violence against sex trade workers any more than legalizing crack would see a reduction in organized crime. It would only make it more prevalent and much harder to prosecute.

The point is a democratic society has the right to create just laws to govern that society. Saying a community is legally bound to buy drug addicts needles and drugs is absurd. This law would only benefit organized crime and is the very reason it is being pushed. Upholding individual rights is a good thing. Expanding that to the erroneous claim that it is a human right to commit crime is nonsense.

If a community has democratically chosen to legalize prostitution or crack then that is their choice. Forcing that decision upon a democratic society against their will is lawlessness.

--------------------------------------------------------

Just as we thought, extremists are billing this as "emancipation day" also known as anarchy. Yet here's another wacko abusing the Charter of Rights once again. He runs a clothing optional nudist colony and was charged with public nudity when he and two other guys went through a drive through at Wendy's in their car naked. The teller was offended but they didn't care. They said their rights were more important than hers and they are counter suing under the Charter of Rights. They say laws baning public nudity violate a persons charter rights.

This is what I'm talking about. Wackos will take as much as we let them. Giving a judge power to override just laws in a democratic society is absolute lawlessness. It has nothing to do with justice whatsoever. One persons rights don't overrun another persons rights. No doubt the nudist case will be thrown out but imagine what would happen if some wacko judge said he's right. Laws banning public nudity violate his individual rights?

So when the dirty old pervert in a trench coat starts flashing old ladies or little girls, the police can't arrest him. That is insane. So when the three amigos pull up to the drive through at Wendy's naked in their car and start doing the pee wee Herman or when someone decides to go to a movie theatre naked and start doing the pee wee Herman in public, that's ok and if someone is offended by that, that's their problem. Nonsense.

We did have something similar in the Newton Wave pool in Surrey. The pool stopped renting out then pool to a nudist colony for them to use at their leisure so to speak. The nudists sued and said it was discrimination and they won. I'm certainly not swimming in a public pool after they had their orgy in it.

My concern with striking down the prostitution laws is the whole can of worms it opens. Like I said what consenting adults do behind closed doors is their business. But when you have open prostitution and open crack use that wrecks havoc on a community. No wacked out judge has the right to tell me I have to put up with that in my community.

That's the time to change the laws that govern the selection and retention of judges. It's the time we enact legislation that lets us fire bad judges because they clearly have too much power and it has clearly gone to their head. Legalization of prostitution will not stop the exploitation. It will only make in impossible to control.

Game Tight Soldiers and the Renegades

Well this is a startling new revelation. Kim Bolan went on a ride along with the gang squad in Prince George.

"Interestingly, we ran into the leader of the the largest gang in town, the Game Tight Soldiers. Steven King, who now lives in Penticton, rode up to the Renegade clubhouse on Fir Street on a Harley with Jason Hall, a full-patch member of the Renegades. He was wearing a Renegades vest with a bottom rocker."

We had been under the impression that the Game Tight Soldiers were rivals of the Hells Angels not associates. Now this new association shows how the Hells Angels continue to be not only actively involved in the drug trade but directly in charge of it.

Long ago the police have claimed that no one can buy or sell drugs in Prince George without the permission of the Hells Angels. The Renegades were the Hells Angels puppet club in charge of other groups. First it was the Crew. The Crew sold crack for the Hells Angels in Prince George under the direction of the Renegades. The crew got a lot of bad press for cutting off fingers for drug debts and many crossed over to the Independent Soldiers who have become another Hells Angels Puppet club.

Now we see the Hells Angels supply and are in charge of both the Game Tight Soldiers and the Independent Soldiers. If those two groups fight over the right to sell the drugs the Hells Angels are clearly the ones ultimately responsible for the violence.

BTW we've been getting a lot of feedback and rude comments about the name Game tight soldiers. Most think it's a really dumb name. Worse than the Red Lobsters.



I mean look at this guy's mannerisms and the way he wears his scarf. Doesn't that scream interior decorator? I mean like who still wears paisley? Paisley was out of style a long time ago. Why do we catch on to fads so late?

Lindsay Buziak's murder

There have been lots more shootings lately and it's hard to keep track of them all. That certainly doesn't mean we shouldn't make the time to look at the human loss this gang war is causing.

I thought this case was recent. I didn't realize it happened back in 2008 and the reason people are talking about it now is because it was recently on Dateline NBC.

Crime stoppers has a PSA about the murder. She was a Realtor in Sannich on Vancouver Island and was murdered while showing a home. Her father claims they have five suspects.

Police say there's no evidence to indicate Lindsay Buziak was involved with crime or drugs but it is clear she knew people who were.

In December 2007, Buziak visited her father in Calgary and while there met with old friends she grew up with. A month later, one of these men was arrested in connection with the largest cocaine bust in Alberta history. While Buziak was not an informant, it was possible she heard or saw something that put her life in danger, police said.

If you have any information about her murder please contact Crimestoppers at: 1 800 222-8477



Here's the twist. If the couple who called her up to see the home were contracted to murder her, will the people who hired them to commit the murder be charged as well as the people who committed the murder?

That is the ongoing problem. Convicting the people ordering the murders. Especially if it's an organization.

Gun Registry stays 153-151

Well the vote on Gun Registry was close: 153-151. Yet the bill to do away with long gun registry was defeated. Despite the result, Prime Minister Stephen Harper said the Tories will continue to work toward dismantling the registry.

"With the vote tonight its abolition is closer than it has ever been," Harper told reporters immediately after the vote. "The people of the regions of this country are never going to accept being treated like criminals and we will continue our efforts until this registry is finally abolished."

WTF? This is why we don't give either party a majority. If they had a majority they would keep steamrolling ahead regardless of the democratic will of the people. So what's Harper gonna do when the referendum says no to the HST? Steam roll ahead and stack the Senate like Brian Mulroney did? Oh Harper already did that, my bad.

Harper is determined to pit rural areas against urban. People in rural areas are allowed to have long guns and they are not treated like criminals for doing so. Unless they refuse to obey the law and register their long guns. The registry doesn't stop farmers from owning guns.

I will agree there are some valid concerns with gun registry. Hitler brought in gun registry before he disarmed the public and took over the country. The Liberals desire to do away with firearms licenses once gun registry has been established is very suspect.

Indeed most crimes occur with firearms that were not registered. Yet some do and more would if the registry was done away with. No one is going to commit a crime with a registered firearm, unless they plan on committing suicide. If some kid is going to shoot all his classmates and commit suicide, then he won't care if the gun is registered.

If an abusive husband shoots his wife and family then commits suicide, then he's not going to care if that gun is registered or not. Regardless of the registry, there currently are too many guns in the hands of criminals.

Three little piggies wrestle in court

Well the piglets jumped the UN in court. It was not a consensual fight. They escaped and started it. Not charging them with assault is shameful. We cater too much to these pigs. They are not welcome or respected in Surrey.

It was a pretty lame fight. The video was caught on security camera. There was another fight Jamie Bacon was caught on video right before he was arrested showing that the pig slapping in court was just an orchestrated show.

Jamie Bacon is a piece of garbage. He's a hillbilly from ABBOTSFORD. His brothers are Preps from ABBOTSFORD. The got shot up in Surrey and moved to Abby to get police protection. What a joke that was. 24 surveillance with TV monitoring. They are the queens of Kevlar. Who wears Kevlar to Castle Fun Park? How lame is that?

This whole case reeks of police corruption. Why would they get police protection in Abby and why would the police let them go and pick a fight in court? How did they know the UN were in that room? It has the appearance of corrupt prison guards turning a blind eye to prison rape.

Claiming it was a consensual fight and not pressing charges is totally lame. Letting spoilt brats strut around like they're somebody when they're not. They're hillbillies from Abbotsford. That is all.

Abbotsford shooting victim identified

The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team says the man gunned down yesterday morning in Abbotsford has been identified as 49 year old Thavone Narong. Narong was the father of Eddie Narong, who was one of the victims of the 'Surrey Six' slayings October 19th, 2007.

Well isn't that interesting. Like I said, how could Jamie Bacon be involved in the Surrey six murder and not his older two brothers? The old Red Scorpion Leadership had beef with the Haney Hells Angels. Now they are pals with the Independent Soldiers and the Hells Angels.

Gang Rape Pic online

Well this is just plain sick. I read a headline that said something about how the police were unable to block pictures of a rape being posted on Facebook. I find that hard to believe as that would clearly violate facebook's terms and conditions.

The latest headline is a former sex crime investigator says that posting or reposting pictures or videos of a 16 year old girl getting raped is a criminal offence. This story is horrible for two reasons. First for the actual act itself. Second for the fact that anyone would get off on reposting pictures of any rape not to mention one of a minor.

The sickening thing is that it's a local story. It happened right here in Vancouver. The 16 year old girl was given a "date rape" drug at some point during the party in Pitt Meadows, then taken out of the house and assaulted by between five and seven youths while several others watched and at least one took photos, police say.

The pictures were distributed through social networking sites and cellphones and one 16-year-old has been arrested and charged with production of child pornography.

Participating in any rape, especially a gang rape is deranged. (No offence to convicted armed rapist Mom Boucher) So is watching it or giving someone date rape drug. Selling date rape drug would be just as bad. Oh but wait, who are the largest distributors of date rape drug in Canada? The Hells Angels.

The Hells angels were involved in the two largest date rape drug busts in the country in Vancouver and Toronto.

Haney Hells Angel Vincenzo James Sanssalone of Maple Ridge was caught with 600 litres of GHB Date Rape Drug. Maple Ridge is pretty close to Pitt Meadows. I wonder who sold the date rape drug that was used in this teenage gang rape case?

Toronto Hells Angel associate Mark Figueireo was sentenced to six years in prison for being caught with 350 litres of date rape drug. The Toronto Star reported that Mark Figuereo had no previous criminal record but plead guilty to conspiring with six other men, five alleged to be Hells Angels, to traffic 600 litres of GHB worth $1.2 million. Police found 350 litres of the drug in his Toronto garage.

After the trial Mark Figuereo, 30, wept as he hugged his wife, sister and niece before he was lead away in handcuffs. This is another example of how the happily married family man was just a front. How would he have felt if someone used that drug to rape his wife, sister or niece? Selling date rape drug is deranged. Getting rich off selling it is very sad. Call it in. Report it.

Oh and let's not forget the Red Scorpion hiding out in the Kelowna retirement village who was also caught with GHB.

------------------------------------------------

One person has been arrested involved with the rape. Now for the other six and those who stood there and watched.

------------------------------------------------

Second arrest. Police are seeking more witnesses.
Come on people, call it in.

Abbotsford shooting an execution

Another targeted shooting in Abbotsford today. Although the number of shootings has gone down a bit in the Lower mainland, it's still hard to keep track of them all.

The Vancouver Sun reports that Abbotsford man gunned down in targeted attack. CTV reports that the victim has been identified and he is known to police as having a criminal lifestyle. The Vancouverite states that Abbotsford shooting an execution.

Somehow it feels like we've taken one step forward and two steps back. The victim was known to the police and has been identified. Yet the public still doesn't know who it is. Remember the Chris Mohan case? An innocent family lost an innocent son because they were unknowingly living next door to gang members that were known to the police but not known to the public.

The Abbotsford Police Department have promised us a web site identifying known gang members. Well at least the top 10 gang members. We're still waiting.

In the mean time we are still hearing about more targeted shootings and execution of people who are known to the police but not known to the public. Without getting into the legal liability of withholding that kind of information from the public, what about common decency? Have we learned anything from the Chris Mohan Ed Schellenberg case?

If the victim of a gang related shooting is known to the police, they should be known to the public. That is public safety.

-------------------------------------------------------------

Abbotford shooting victim identified.

Quebec Biker War

If the Quebec biker war was about the Hells Angels violent attempt to kill all their competition systematically and gain a monopoly over Montreal's illegal drug trade, then what are they now doing in British Columbia?

Killing rival gang members and independent drug dealers is one thing but what about people like Britney Irving and Geoff Meisner? What about the addicts in Prince George who have been tortured for drug debts? Who else have they killed in BC?

The Hells Angels have become the largest organized crime group in Canada. Rat out the real rats and make this world a better place to live.
