Fatal shooting in Maple Ridge - Update

CBC is confirming a Scan BC report that there was a fatal drive by shooting in Maple Ridge 2:30 AM today. The Scan BC report claims the person was shot in the head.

Update: CTV News is reporting that "The identity of the victim has not yet been released by police, but neighbours identified him as Jonathen Patko." They also claim he was acquitted of murder in 2002. "A court judgment shows that Patko and a younger man were accused of entering Pickton trial witness Gina Houston's house in Surrey armed with baseball bats to beat another man to death. One witness didn't show up to court." Scaring witnesses out of testifying in the Pickton trial on whose behalf? Willy Pickton? Not likely. Now he's dead. That's gratitude for ya.

Warlocks & Syndicate members arrested in Fort McMurray

The Toronto Sun is reporting that "Five members of rival outlaw motorcycle gangs operating in Fort McMurray have been arrested. Police have released few other details about the execution of four search warrants Wednesday with a press conference scheduled for Monday. The arrests come as a result of a joint investigation by Alberta Law Enforcement Response Teams and RCMP Wood Buffalo in relation to an on-going conflict between the Fort McMurray chapters of the Warlocks Motorcycle Club and the Syndicate, a Hells Angels support club."



Update: They meant "a" rival MC since only Warlocks were arrested. Breaking news is they seized guns lawfully obtained and stored.

A Good Way Out

BC Living is reporting that the Pacific Theatre in Vancouver is running an interesting play about a biker trying to leave the life called A Good Way Out from September 23rd to October 15th.

"Tough and uncompromising, this World Premiere follows Joey, a hardworking mechanic who just happens to be the front man for a biker gang. He joined “the family” for protection when he was young, but now he has a family of his own and his priorities have changed. You can’t leave family behind, though, whether they are by blood or by bond, and a few bad decisions turn this dangerous world against him and those he loves."

"It isn’t just the gang activity that has been dominating the Lower Mainland news cycle for years that inspired Norrish to pen A Good Way Out. The story is, in large part, inspired by a person close to her who was involved in gang life. Despite its personal beginnings, however, she sees the story as extending to more universal questions, 'This play is about what pushes us as human beings,' says Norrish on the script, 'How far we will go to protect the ones we love.'”

Update: I saw the matinee the other day. It is very well done. It's very dark and realistic.

Victims of Calgary double shooting in car identified

CBC is reporting that "Police were called to 22 Redstone Manor northeast about 8 p.m. MT on Tuesday where officers found Tran dead in the front passenger seat of the car in the attached garage. Lung, who was in the driver's seat, was rushed with a large police escort to Foothills Medical Centre in life-threatening condition. She was later pronounced dead. Her five-year-old son, who was sitting in the back of the car, was not injured in the shooting.

Police said Lung had a long history of associating with criminal networks and that the attack was likely targeted. Two other family members, including the woman's other child, were inside the house at the time of the shooting."

Lawyer shot in Toronto

The Canadian Press is reporting that "A 51-year-old man accused of shooting a Toronto lawyer has been formally charged with 15 counts, including attempted murder. Toronto police say Grayson Delong - who was charged in his hospital bed Thursday - also faces a charge of disguise with intent and 13 firearms-related counts." The shooting took place last Tuesday afternoon outside the lawyer's office. After shooting the lawyer in the legs, the suspect was shot by a plainclothes police officer doing surveillance of the area.

George Christie's new book has been released

George Christie's new book Exile on Front Street hit the shelves September 20th. The New York Daily news is reporting that "Former Hells Angels boss Sonny Barger was a fraud who beat his wife and 14-year-old stepdaughter, ex-gangster George Christie writes in 'Exile on Front Street' tell-all." If he wasn't out in bad before he sure is now. Bad to the bone.

Sonny Barger and George Christie

The Last American Outlaw

New Zealand book review

"When does a club become a cult, when they fear their members leaving and feel compelled to destroy them with intimidation and false statements." George Christie

Note: I don't think Sonny Barger is a snitch because he called an ambulance for his ex after he beat her and her daughter up. I do think he is a pimp and baby killer for supporting his pal Otis Garret and for honouring him as a proud member of the filthy few fellowship after the fact. The FBI paid his wife to testify against him for domestic assault. She never testified against anyone for club business. The gun in the car was hers. She owned it legally.

Spike in traffic from China

I'm not sure what this massive spike in traffic coming in from China is all about but Greetings. I've written a fair bit about organ harvesting in China which has been referred to as their secret genocide. Here in the free world we oppose political prisoners. People have a right to say what they want and believe what they want. The freedom of religion and the freedom of speech are essential elements in any free republic. China is not free.

I went out for dinner with a few friends recently and the son of an old friend recently came back from a trip to China. I mentioned the Falun Gong being political prisoners there. He responded by saying the Falun Gong are crazy. They cut themselves, set themselves on fire and organize protests. I have a friend in China who knows. Oh really I said. That is not true. They don't set themselves on fire. Those are the Tibetan monks that do that in protest. They don't cut themselves either. They are peaceful people who like to meditate. They do like to organize protests. Here in Canada that isn't a crime it's a civic duty.

I know several here in Vancouver. They are wonderful people. He responded with well I dont know if that's just propaganda but that is what I heard. Of course it's propaganda I said. The Communists have a long history of censorship and propaganda. Just look at Stalin's death camps. In East Berlin they turned the machine guns inwards so no one could leave.

China doesn't have enough organ donors to meet its own needs. They certainly don't have enough volunteer donors for the huge organ export business they are involved in. They execute political prisoners to order. That is heinous and needs to be addressed. Several documentaries have been produced on it and a recent movie made here in Vancouver called the Bleeding Edge. This is a important issue that needs to be addressed. Ask Anastasia Lin what she thinks.



Watch: [Hard to believe] [Human Harvest]

Double murder and kidnapping in East Vancouver

The Vancouver province is reporting that "Three men have been arrested in relation to a grisly double murder in East Vancouver and the abduction of a third person." Monday we read of a man and woman found dead in an East Vancouver home. Tuesday it was confirmed a homicide and today the full story is revealed. Police responded to an abduction call just before 10 p.m. Saturday. When Vancouver police’s emergency response team arrived they found two bodies inside, a terrified four-year-old child, and evidence of a kidnapping."

"The homicide victims were identified as Samantha Le, 29, and Xuan Vanvy Bacao, 24. Le, Bacao, the child and the unidentified kidnap victim all lived in the house. Police announced the arrest of the three suspects at a news conference Tuesday, a day after a dramatic takedown on East 8th Avenue near Blair Avenue in New Westminster that ended with the rescue of the kidnap victim and the arrest of three men, all in their 20s."

Global is reporting that "On Wednesday, Shamil Amir Ali, 22, Harinam Ananda Cox, 21, and Gopal Figueredo, 24, were all charged with one count of: kidnap with intention to hold for ransom; confine without lawful authority; extortion and aggravated assault. Police believe the murders and abduction were targeted."

Cannabis Miracle, Pot Fraud

Front page of yesterday's Vancouver Province was the ultimate drug dealer PR fraud targeting children. The headline read Cannabis Miracle and had a picture of a mother an son who claims Cannabis oil helped reduce her son's seizures. First off, yes that it totally believable. Cannabis oil that is low in THC but high in CBD does reduce seizures and is well worth investigating.

Now let's address the fraud. This does not mean that smoking pot is good for you because it's not. Smoking anything is bad for you. That's why the leading cause of death in house fires is smoke inhalation. That's why they have all those grotesque pictures on tobacco products. Smoking pot causes throat and lung cancer just like smoking tobacco does.



Now that legal pot is labeled let's once again reiterate the obvious. THC gets you stoned. CBD does not. Pot that is high in CBD and low in THC doesn't get you stoned but does help reduce seizures. Pot that is low in CBD but high in THC is recreational pot good for getting you stoned. The Pothead zombie apocalypse takes stories like this about cannabis oil and cheer while they light up another blunt and say see I told ya this stuff was good for you. Anything that gets you stoned, baked or wasted is not good for you.

Adolescents should not smoke or ingest pot that is high in THC because it will impair their brain development. Not so much in adults whose brains have fully developed but kids shouldn't smoke pot. Period. How many drug dealers are going to take this front page article to the local schools and start selling pot to kids telling them getting stoned is good for you.

As I keep saying, I will be the first one to agree pot is way less damaging than crack, crystal meth or fentanyl. However, smoking pot is not good for you. There are way too many people out there that smoke way too much pot. That is their business. Just don't try and pretend it's good for you. Back in the day we used to call people who smoked pot every day stoners. Now we call them activists. Stop lying to the kids. CBD is good. THC is not.

BC's' Fentanyl Crisis - the Faces of Fentanyl

BC's Fentanyl crisis is in the news. People are dying left right and centre. Previously we posted a video to a documentary on Calgary's Fentanyl crisis which was fundamentally different than BC's crisis. Fentanyl is a horrible drug that is very damaging and very addictive. The people in Calgary were addicted to Fentanyl and buying it knowingly. Nobody in BC wanted it so the drug dealers started putting it in other drugs so people would get addicted to it unknowingly and the'y'd have a repeat customer for life. What little left there was of it. That is predatory.

Last night on the National CBC ran a documentary on the new face of Fentanyl taking a case right here form the famous Surrey Strip where everyone in the country now knows the police let drug dealers sell drugs in public without arresting them and can see the horrific damage that practice has caused. We need to follow up on the case to make sure Kati isn't killed for doing the interview. We need to protect the source.

Despite the physical transformation Kati has undergone, when listening to her story we can still hear her heart and he touched by it. Her kind gentle spirit reminds me of Janice Shore who was brutally murdered in Surrey when she could no longer pay for the drugs she was using. Kati said she has always had an addictive personality whether that be shopping or facebook. People wouldn't normally liken spending time shopping or on facebook as an addiction. Kati is very humble and genuine. She said her dealer said to her one day he has some new pills that are 100 times more powerful than the oxy she was on but are only $5 more. Do you want to try them? She said sure and now she is addicted and the drug is eating her alive.

This has shown us exactly what harm promotion has done. By dancing all around the predatory drug dealers and rewarding them for lacing the crack with Fentanyl they have now achieved their goal just like in Calgary. People are now addicted to Fentanyl and are starting to buy it knowingly. Rewarding drug dealers for conning people has created a tidal wave of more addiction and more deaths. History has recorded that.

We also need to remember that there is another face of Fentanyl in Surrey. The face of Leanne Yardley, a hard working mother with an education and career who was out for a night to get a break and did a line of cocaine socially. Turns out it wasn't cocaine it was straight up Fentanyl. She died instantly. Selling Fentanyl passed off as cocaine in evil. Not arresting the drug dealers who do that makes us culpable in those murders. Harm promotion has failed. We need to stop kicking the cat and arrest the drug dealers selling Fentanyl. Failing to do that is not social justice. It is criminally insane. Si vis pacem, para bellum.
