Fatal shooting in West Kelowna - Update

Global is reporting that a yong man who was a a web designer in his mid-to-late 20s was gunned down in a West Kelowna driveway across the street from his parents home around 8:15 p.m. last night. He was visiting them from Vancouver.

The victim had just pulled into his parent’s driveway and was driving a black GMC Yukon before the shooting occurred. A neighbour came out to find two bullet wholes visible in driver's side window and the victim's body slumped over in driver's seat

Update: The Kerameus Review is reporting that "Pennell owned a company called Traphouse Skateboards which was registered to the West Kelowna address on McTaggart Road that police were called to with a report of shots fired. He was found dead in a vehicle in the driveway. In a press release issued hours after the shooting Cpl. Jesse O’Donaghey deemed the death a homicide and said that the victim lived a “high-risk lifestyle” and “was well known to police.”

"In fact, court records show Pennell faced a dozen separate drug trafficking charges and weapon-related charges in 2011. The Prince George Citizen wrote in 2013 that Pennell had been dealing drugs for about a year when he was arrested on charges stemming from that activity."

Garibaldi Lake

I hiked up to Garibaldi Lake today hoping to camp overnight but the campsites were all full and they don't allow back country camping. Other places do but they have a ranger station on site checking everyone. This is the same trail that takes you up Black Tusk but I didn't make it that far.



The ride home was a bit of a zen moment for me. The setting sun turned the horizon orange behind the islands in the water along the coast. It reminded me of watching the sun set behind Bowen Island from Whitecliff when I was a kid. I felt at total peace. About everything.



It was nice seeing tents and sleeping bags tied to the back of motorcycles heading out on the freeway for the long weekend. Now that's living the dream. Pimping crack hoes isn't living the dream it's pimping the dream. It's selling the dream out.

Vancouver bridge tolls have been lifted - Oh Happy Day

The Free Press reported that "Premier John Horgan has acted on another of his key election promises, announcing that tolls will be lifted from the Port Mann and Golden Ears bridges effective Sept. 1." That day has come. Now that's what I'm talking about. I support the freedom to move. In fact mobility rights are entrenched in the Canadian Charter of Rights.

The first spin people complain about is asking how the NDP are going to pay for it? Wait 'til I tell ye. The first thing they can do to save money is to get rid of the American private company collecting the tolls. The only reason a private company will collect tolls is to make a profit. That's why they kept the toll on the Coquihalla long after it was paid for. Getting rid of that firm will save taxpayers money.

The Lion's Gate bridge used to be tolled. Now it's paid for. You can't put a toll on bridge after it has already been paid for. That's just another tax grab. Politicians are gluttons. The more they tax the more they spend. How about reducing services so we can lower taxes? Let's start with the Metro Vancouver's Glutton Council. That wasteful duplication of services is mandated to burn tax dollars like an incinerator. It needs to be disbanded.

The next thing that needs to go is Translink's tax and spend think tank. Translink already burns an extra billion dollars a years in a regional gas tax. No private company would be able to function going a billion dollars over budget year after year. That fraud needs to be fixed. Getting rid of the tax and spend think tank is the first step. They are a waste of money.

The final step to recover lost revenue is to fix the BC Hydro fraud. We need contract back in the private power brokers that sell power to the public company at above market rates. That will save taxpayers billions. While we're at it BC and Alberta need to nationalize their oil resources like ICBC. Letting Communist China have the profits from our natural resources is insane.

We can still keep all the private Canadian oil contractors. We just need to take back the ownership of our oil from Communist China. That would increase tax revenue and reduce debt on a steady basis. That would be good business. Peace.

Woman shot in face at Toronto restaurant

WTF is going on? The Toronto Star is reporting that "An 18-year-old woman is in critical condition after being shot in the face at a popular 24-hour restaurant in Mississauga early Friday morning, police say. Just before 1 a.m., Peel Regional Police were called to Zet’s Restaurant on Airport Rd., near Pearson airport, and found the young woman suffering from gunshot wounds. She was rushed to hospital in what paramedics describe as critical but not life-threatening condition. The restaurant was open at the time. No one else was harmed, but police say there were numerous witnesses in the area and that they are cooperating in the investigation."

Same area as the Mall shooting.

18 year old shot dead in Abbotsford

CBC is reporting that Abbotsford police have identified the victim of a "brazen" shooting as an 18-year-old man, saying it's believed his killing was targeted. Sehajdeep Sidhu was found in a parked car in the area of Huntingdon Road and Gladwin Road around 6 p.m. on Thursday, according to the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team. The 18-year-old died on scene. Investigators say Sidhu was known to police but didn't have a criminal record."

Targeted shooting in Langley kills two - 2nd Update

CBC is reporting that "Two people have died after what's believed to be a targeted shooting in Langley, B.C. A man and a woman were found suffering from gunshot wounds on 232 Street near 64 Avenue around 5:30 a.m. PT on Friday, according to RCMP. A statement said both later died of their injuries. It's the third fatal shooting in the Fraser Valley this week: A man was killed in Abbotsford on Thursday and another died after being shot in Surrey two days earlier.

Global is reporting that the shooting actually took place at 62A Crescent and 64 Avenue 5:30 AM this morning. Nearby at 232 Street and 64 Avenue there was a second crime scene. A red Jeep could be seen with both the driver’s door and passenger door wide open and yellow crime scene tape around it. It is believed this could be a suspect vehicle but that has not been confirmed.

The Peacearch News is reporting that "According to Curtis Kreklau of South Fraser News Services, police arrived in the area and quickly located a suspect vehicle – the Jeep – and arrested a man and a woman in a high-risk takedown. A blood trail was observed coming from the victim’s vehicle and a search was conducted for a possible third victim, and a police dog was also searching nearby farmer’s fields, said Kreklau."



Update: The Peacerch News is reporting that "Brandy Petrie, a 34-year-old Burnaby woman, and Avery Levely-Flescher, 20, of Surrey have been identified as the two people who were shot and killed on a rural road in Langley early Friday morning, Sept. 1. Charged in their killings is 21-year-old Travis MacPhail of Langley."

Man killed in shooting inside Toronto mall

Global is reporting that "A man believed to be in his 20s is dead after a shooting at North York Sheridan Mall in north-end Toronto Thursday afternoon. Toronto police and paramedics were called to the plaza near Jane Street and Wilson Avenue at around 5:20 p.m. with reports of a shooting. A man was found with a gunshot wound inside the mall. He died at the scene."

Shooting someone inside a mall isn't very bright. There are security cameras everywhere. This mall is just south of Woodbridge where all that mob violence tied to the Hells Angels has been going on throughout the summer. Stop the greed, end the violence.

Larry Amero's drug trafficking charges stayed

AYFKM? Kim Bolan is reporting that "a judge in Quebec stayed organized crime and cocaine importation charges against the prominent B.C. gangster. Prosecutor Philippe Vallières-Roland confirmed to Postmedia News that the charges were stayed because of the length of time the case took to get to trial." That is the most defiant form of corruption known to man.

I'm all for the Charter of Rights. I support every person's right to a fair and speedy trial. I agree there has been delays in the trials but someone f*cked up. This is not right.

Larry was first busted November 2012 for his role in a huge cross border drug ring in Montreal that was importing and distributing 75 kilos of cocaine a week. This was another huge Hells Angels cross border ring. Letting him off for that is obscene.

November 2013 Larry Amero and Shane Maloney were busted in another massive drug ring where 650 kg of pseudoephedrine was seized as that drug ring was suspected of importing two tons of precursor chemicals for making crystal meth into Australia. Those two cases were a year apart. Staying the charges in both cases at the same time is a criminal act.

40 years old. The clock is ticking in more ways than one. Jonathan Bacon, Randy Naicker and Jeremy Bettan. What do these three individuals have in common? They all sold drugs for Larry Amero and they're all dead. 40 years old and Larry is still playing Russian roulette with his life and with the lives of those who work for him. Some people never grow up.

For those of you who don't live in Surrey let me explain why Larry is hated so much here. First is the obvious. He was directly involved in the Surrey Six murder where two witnesses were executed for simply being witnesses. That heinous act outraged all of us. That's why everyone and their dog flipped on them in court and no one called those who testified rats because the people involved in that murder were the real rats not the ones who testified against them.

Jamie Bacon tried to tax Corey Lal for selling drugs on "his" turf. Only the three little piggies weren't from Surrey they were from the suburbs in Abbotsford. Surrey was the Hells Angels turf not the Bacon brothers. That's why Jamie Bacon didn't dare try and tax long time Surrey crystal meth cook Ryan. Ryan already worked for the Hells Angels. John Punko to be exact.

Jamie Bacon was not the brains of that operation. Jamie has difficulty tying his shoes. His dead preppy brother Jonathan was the brains of that operation and they were collecting the tax for Jonathan's personal friend Larry Amero and the Hells Angels. People in Surrey hate Larry Amero because he was the driving force behind the Surrey Six.

There's actually a long list of murders Larry has been involved with. All in relation to obtaining a monopoly on the drug trade. In the words of the prophet Tupac Shakur somethings will never change. Yet after someone dies, things will never be the same.

Larry is not from the hood. He's from the suburbs. He went to High School at Walnut Grove which is in the heart of suburbia. His father was a longshoreman. When Larry was in highschool he got a sweetheart job with his father at the docks. He got his first aid ticket so he'd get paid an obscene wage for sitting on his father's boat waiting for someone to fall overboard. Since he had money he got a car before most of the other kids so the rats used him to drive for their B&Es. One time he got caught at school with a car load of stolen goods. That is the epitome of a rat. Stealing from others when he already had more than most. It's pure greed.

There's a lot more I could say about Larry's dirtbag actions but out of respect for his Godson I will refrain. Suffice it to say that Larry Amero is a piece of garbage. In the words of Linkin Park in the Jay Z remix, the more I find out about Larry the more I want to be like me and the less I want to be like him. Actually I'm kind of worried about Larry. His prognosis is not good. I don't see a happily every after in his future. Some things needs to change.

I'm not entirely opposed to him going back to work on the docks but how in god's name can he get a port pass with a criminal record for drug trafficking? These charges were stayed but he has other convictions. He should not be given a port pass. So how's he going to earn an honest living? Enough never seems to be enough for him. They all want lots of money without working for it. These plastic parasites have no concept of work ethic. They all want something for nothing.

The problem is that Kling Klung took the fall for shooting Larry in Kelowna but he certainly didn't make the call. They might have let him drive the car but I wouldn't even stand beside that clown at the gun range. It's not that he's reckless, it's just that he's stupid. Which just goes to show you any idiot can pull a trigger. Kling Klung killed his fiance. He threw her out of the car. Then he tried to commit suicide by walking into traffic. The guy's an idiot. Which just goes to show you if an idiot like Kling Klung can shoot Larry, anyone can. Steroids don't make you bulletproof.

Clearly this world is full of good and evil. The world is also full of good and bad examples. Larry Amero is a bad example. We all have been given a brain to discern right from wrong, good from evil and we are all free to chose which side of that line we will live on. Just remember what we do in life echos in eternity. Karma's a b*tch so it is. Choose wisely. Peace.



BTW Putting a sheet over your head or a patch on your back does not make you bulletproof.

We're not afraid yo. We never were. Right is right and wrong is wrong. You or I can't change that.

Man shot dead in Surrey - Update

The Peacearch News is reporting that "Police have identified a 22-year-old Surrey man as the victim of a targeted shooting in Cloverdale Tuesday evening. Pardeep Singh was found dead in his driveway in a residential area near 166 Street and 63B Avenue. Team news release issued just before noon Wednesday, Singh was known to police and had gang associations." Multiple shots fired 8:30 PM. The victim was found dead in the driveway of his own home.

"Brun wasn’t terribly surprised. She’s not happy with the direction the neighbourhood has been heading. 'We know that there are drug houses in the area, there were halfway houses in the area,' she said. She doesn’t attribute the increase in crime to an increase in population, but says it’s the people who happened to move in." Imagine that. Drug houses in the area but the police and city hall don't do anything about it until there's a fatality. More halfway houses in Surrey that are just drug houses for addicts to use drugs.

The Peacearch News is also reporting that "The 22-year-old man shot dead in his Cloverdale driveway Tuesday had been involved in shootings as far back as 2015, police revealed on Wednesday. At an Integrated Homicide Investigation Team press conference Wednesday afternoon, Cpl. Meghan Foster said that Pardeep Singh had been offered RCMP protection in the past after he had been involved in four shootings in less than 24 hours. Foster told reporters that Singh was an unco-operative victim in 2015.”

I will however say this: every crime has a means and a motive. This guy was killed because he sold drugs. He wasn't killed by his employer he was killed by a rival. Something tells me this guy didn't work for the Hells Angels. That made him a rival who they terminated just like all the others.

The Vancouver Province Nails it once again

Well this is rather shocking. Once again the Vancouver Province nails the real problem facing Surrey. The front page of today's Vancouver Province ran the headline A Crime Shame then went on to explain that "Businesses near the notorious Whalley Strip lost an average of nearly $100,000 to break ins and theft last year, and some have given up the fight."

Small businesses in the area are dying from theft related to the open drug trade on the Surrey strip. Not just small businesses either. Safeway was brought out by Sobeys and the employees faced serious roll backs to wages and benefits. The whalley location of Safeway deals with massive theft on a daily basis. No business can survive that.

This is what Catherine Austin Fitts describes as the Tapeworm Economy. Everyone thinks laundering drug money is a good investment but it's not. It sucks the life out of business like a parasite. So what happened? How did this story end up on the front page of the Vancouver Province? Is Wayne Moriarty covering for Harold Munro while he is on holidays?

The last time this happened was when the Vancouver Province exposed the City's refusal to arrest drug dealers selling drugs in front of businesses in Newton which lead to the murder of the Hockey mom. Police protection of the drug dealers on the Whalley strip needs to end.
