Prince George Police murder unarmed man on his own property

The family is unhappy with a decision from a police watchdog committee that has cleared the police in the shooting of Greg Matter in Prince George. The bizarre thing is he was unarmed and shot dead on his own property where SWAT showed up with machine guns. Kinda like the recent Prince George lockdown we talked about. Don’t get me wrong. SWAT does have it’s time and place. When doing a raid on a Hells Angels clubhouse for example. Not for an unarmed civilian in his own home. That’s not just overkill, it’s murder. It doesn’t matter what some committee calls it.

Seemingly there was an incident on his property a few days prior. Again, the incident was a few days before so there is no emergency. He got in a fight with his brother who came onto his property in violation of a restraining order. He chased him off his property with his car then punched him. The brother leaves then contacts the police. Based on his testimony alone, they decided to charge him with dangerous driving and assault with a weapon. Remember, the brother was trespassing on his property in violation of a restraining order. It was his home.

The police call him and try and meet with him but he refuses to talk with them. The charges aren’t just minor, they are absurd. In the States people will shoot at trespassers without hesitation. Shooting a family member would indeed be extreme but chasing him off his property is not. Greg didn’t want to talk to the police because he shouldn’t have been arrested.

So what happens? The police bring in SWAT and murder and unarmed man on his own property. A 15 year vet who had been treated for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and just wanted to be left alone. Not only that but the police assaulted his mother on their property before they murder her son. Looks like those assault charges never went anywhere either. Prior to that the police refused to let a family member and his psychiatrist be present to diffuse the situation. This isn’t just a mistake. This is murder. The watchdog committee has completely lost any credibility whatsoever. Not only that, they refused to disclose evidence to the family during the proceedings. That is illegal. This is how our Charter Rights are disappearing right before our very eyes.

All of this swarms around the tendency of the police to completely freak out when someone doesn’t obey their direct command at the snap of their finger. Case in point, the Kelowna assault where the cop kicked buddy in the face when he was on his knees. Thankfully that officer now has a criminal record for assault. That situation was ridiculous. He orders the suspect to get down. The compliant suspect gets down on his knees. All the way down the ego maniac screams. OK Buddy says and as he starts to lower himself completely on the ground he gets kicked in the face. He didn’t obey the direct command fast enough apparently.

All of this swarms around the egomaniac command culture that seems to trickle down from the top of that organization. Back in the day it was “Up against the wall” or Spread em. Hands on the car while they were frisked and cuffed. Now the police apparently insist the suspect lies on the ground for them to step on them and kick them more comfortably. In the case of an unarmed suspect, making him lie on the ground to be cuffed is not necessary.

In the Prince George case the police’s ego obviously couldn’t handle the fact that the suspect was refusing to talk to them when the charges were stupid. He didn’t obey their direct command so they had to bring in SWAT. No they didn’t. Now they have simply committed murder. An unarmed vet on his own property. They were obviously freaked out by the fact that he was a vet and might have weapons. Then maybe they should have taken the family’s advice and let he meet with the police with a family member and his psychiatrist. Denying them that request is like denying someone a lawyer for interrogation. I’m not going anywhere with you alone because I don’t trust you. Now we see why. The police in Prince George need to rethink their use of SWAT for nonemergencies. Depot needs to change as well.

Sergeant in Surrey Six investigation charged with theft

I know I said I wasn’t covering the Surrey Six trial and I’m not. However, this breaking news is a new twist to the confused drama regarding that investigation. All the news outlets are covering this one including Kim.

Derek Brassington has been charged with theft under $5,000 related to an off-duty incident alleged to have occurred in Burnaby on March 30. CTV is reporting that Court documents reveal the incident is linked to merchandise stolen from Canlan Ice Sports in Burnaby. Not very bright to say the least.

So it would appear the theft charges are completely unrelated to the Surrey Six trial. This is the guy that has been accused of sleeping with one of the witnesses in the Surrey Six investigation. The officer has now quit the force. Last November it was reported he was still on the payroll while the other charges against him went to trial.

Winnipeg Hells Angel sentenced to 11 years for cocaine trafficking

In Winnipeg, Dale Sweeney, another former president of the Hells Angels just received an 11 year sentence for cocaine trafficking. Sweeney was arrested along with his brother Rod last March in Project Flatlined. So Dale Donavon (Deli) gets released after serving his sentence for cocaine trafficking and another president goes in. That’s the revolving door alright. Clearly showing that the drug trafficking is the primary business of this criminal organization. Crackhead Crackhead.

White Rock Hells Angels pleads guilty to cocaine trafficking

White Rock Hells Angel Brent Douglas Milne pleaded guilty to trafficking cocaine Tuesday in Surrey provincial court. Brent was caught with just under a kilo of cocaine last May. Abbotsford Police drug investigators executed a search warrant at Milne’s Langley home after an investigation into cocaine trafficking in Abbotsford. The lawsuit alleges that over 13 years, Milne built his equity in the property with drug profits.

So here we have another White Rock Hells Angel charged with cocaine trafficking tied to Abbotsford which would have been in support of the Bacon Brothers drug trafficking network. Just like Larry Amero’s support of the Bacon Brothers. Larry has been charged with being part of a large cocaine trafficking in Montreal.

Randy Jones and his brother Trevor have been implicated in a cross border drug trafficking network in a US Indictment that implicated Tbarz. Randy had Tbarz registered in his mother’s name but now claims it’s under new management. Not.

What we see here is the revolving door of the White Rock Hells Angels drug trafficking network.

Haney Shooting

Blog readers comments about a shooting at Haney Place Mall on scan BC have been confirmed. The Vancouver Sun is reporting that last night at 8:00 PM a man was shot at the mall and pronounced dead after being airlifted to the hospital. Kim Bolan has mentioned it on her blog. Name of the victim has not yet been released nor and information about it being targeted or gang related. We know that the Hells Angels are very much involved in that area. That’s the chapter that ran Piggy’s Palace and was involved with the Pickton farm.

The Vancouver Sun has confirmed that the victim was Claude DeGuire.

In 2008 a Maple Ridge drug dealer brutally raped and assaulted a sex trade worker and told her her husband had a drug debt to the Hells Angels and his life was in jeopardy. The initial report in the Vancouver Province has expired but I did report on it at the time. Around the same time Victor Joseph Reis was charged in a brutal rape in Maple ridge. The victim claimed he showed her pictures of himself with members of the Hells Angels to intimidate her. All frighteningly reminiscent of the Pickton Farm. Another local source claimed that prostitutes can’t work in Maple Ridge unless they work for the Hells Angels. I still haven’t heard any follow up on La JJ’s.

Police have two suspects in custody

Kim Bolan is reporting that Edward Marke Antonsen from Maple Ridge has been charged with second degree murder in the shooting. IHIT said the shooting was related to the drug trade. The Maple Ridge news implied that Deguire was once associated with the United Nations gang.

Remembering Rob and Cindy Stanley

Speaking of injustice and bad prison conditions, we need to remember Rob and Cindy Stanley. They made a mistake. They went sailing and got caught smuggling 200 kilos of cocaine from the South Pacific to Australia. Yes that is a huge amount of cocaine. Yet locking them up for 300 years or giving them the death penalty won’t touch the Hells Angels or their drug trade. They'll just get another mule.

In the mean time they are suffering undue hardship in horrible prison conditions in a country that was neither the destination nor the point of origin of the drugs. They weren’t even in New Caledonia. They were on the water north west of New Caledonia.

When I look at those small but clean cells in the new Edmonton prison I think about Rob and Cindy. Letting them rot away in those horrible conditions just isn’t right. The Hells Angels don’t care but I do. Surely there is something we can do. Surely Amnesty International can speak on their prison conditions. They should either be transferred to a Canadian prison or to an Australian prison. They should not be left there. That just isn’t right.

Western Highway

Last day of skiing today. Seymour were selling lift tickets for ten bucks. Saw a couple of deer on the way up the mountain today. All this talk about New Brunswick and Nova Scotia has got me thinking. I have a lot of ancestors buried in some of those small towns. I’m saddened to hear these drug dealing hillbillies are turning that wonderful land into just another sea of greed and corruption. Hummers and trips to Mexico from exploiting others in the drug trade. It’s a shameful life so it is.

Here on the west coast we don’t have many folk songs so we don’t. Not like in the Maritimes. Yet one we do have is Western Highway by Gerry O'Beirne. Rita and Mary Rankin sang it on their Lantern burn CD. Here’s another couple on youtube that did a fine job of it as well.

Changing the words slightly I have to declare: I am a rider on a western highway, from the mountains unto the sea. I’m just a rider on a western highway but right now I am free. Free to think. Free to speak. Free to act. Free to choose. Free to move. Sailors’ rights. The seas be ours and by the powers where we will we'll roam. Word. Hoist the colors.

Drug bust and home invasion on PEI

Five people have been charged with a home invasion that occurred last year in Emyvale on PEI. On May 28th, 2012, a residence in the Emyvale area was broken into by two masked men. Once inside the intruders tied up, assaulted and robbed the victim involved. Both intruders were in possession of firearms during the robbery. Police said it was a targeted offense.

One of the people charged was Jason Yeo. Jason was charged in a cocaine trafficking network on PEI last summer. Last month three more people were arrested in Emyvale drug busts. Dean John Fairhurst was charged in that bust. He was on parole after serving a six year sentence for cocaine trafficking. Less statutory release.

Outlaws spotted in New Brunswick

(See update) More than a dozen members of the Outlaw Motorcycle Gang from Ontario, wearing full colors, showed up coming into town from the Trans Canada Hwy into Moncton New Brunswick today. RCMP intercepted the bunch and only got a half dozen of the bikes to pull over (ran names and plates) on Elmwood drive near a club called IROCK but the rest of the OMG bunch took off fast and refused to stop for police. RCMP asked for lots of backup to catch them to run the rest of the names and plates.

Lots of Bacchus together and partying today at the Pollet River Run in Albert County and will be at clubs later tonight. The usual place they Party is the Old Cosmo but the Liquor inspector just shut them down, rumor is they got caught with Beer in the bar from Quebec.

Jeff Gallant, also known as scab face, is the owner of the Old Cosmo (called OC for short). He’s on the dirty and was arrested with two pounds of cocaine. It’s connected to the Knockwood and Keirsteadcase case who were caught with 16 kilos of cocaine in the walls of their trailer in Texas. After the Outlaws appearance word is Jeff and Bacchus have ordered in a new supply of depends. Tell me Jeff isn’t related to Leo. That would break my achy breaky heart.



Perhaps the Outlaws will make it out to the South Shore in Nova Scotia and visit what’s left of the Freedom Riders. The Darksiders are still bullying that same senior couple they assaulted at a local Tim Hortens. The husband is dying of cancer and they are still bullying them. They won’t even let them ride their bikes without colours in peace. The Outlaws don’t bully seniors and don’t stop non 1% MCs from wearing patches. Perhaps a free market is a good thing.

One blog reader reports: Accident right by the Bacchus clubhouse just on scanner, ATV accident, male in 40's. ATV? I guess the Bacchus rejects need training wheels. Police used the term Oscar Mike Golf as in OMG and the street the Buttkiss clubhouse is on. Oscar Mayer Wieners if you ask me. Don't look now, they're asking for breath tech... OK now they're using cell phones.



I didn’t realize the Pollett River Run was a run down the river in a boat. I thought it was a motorcycle run. That looks like a really fun event. Be sure to pack out what you pack in. They even have mud flats like Stake Lake here in BC. Stave Lake mud flats are pretty red neck. It’s wild.

Update: We are getting mixed reports on the outlaw versus Outlaws thing. The same thing happened in a report about Kelowna. Local Bacchus are denying the Outlaws came to town and are claiming the police pulled a bunch of them over and referred to them as outlaws not Outlaws. I’m still trying to get a confirmation from someone local who has actually seen them other than heard what was said on the police scanner.

I'm still working on this. Reports still claim the police were running Ontario plates which means they weren't Bacchus.

Bacon shooters in court

All three accused of shooting Jonathon Bacon and Larry Amero in Kelowna were in court last Thursday on April 25th. Lawyers are still waiting for disclosure and the matter has been put off to June 20th. The trail is in Kelowna and the accused made a video appearance from Surrey Pretrial.

Kelly Hayes is reporting on the matter for Global now. Michael Kerry Hunter Jones of Gibsons; Jason Thomas McBride of North Vancouver; and Surrey resident Jujhar Khun-Khun are each facing one count of murder and four counts of attempted murder. The Daily Courier reported that compared to the two men sitting next to him Thursday, Khun-Khun looked tiny. I still say he's taking the fall for another but won't name names. Let the evidence be presented.
