Woman shot in Chilliwack dies from injuries

The Chilliwack Progress is reporting that "Three days after a shooting at a house on Victor Street in Chilliwack the case is now a homicide. A woman in her 40s who was said to be in critical condition after the Tuesday shooting succumbed to her injuries, according to Chilliwack RCMP late Friday. The woman in her 40s was found at the house on Victor between Bole and Cleveland avenues with life-threatening injuries after the report of a shooting at approximately 1 p.m. on Feb. 26. Two broken windows were visible at the front of the house."

Terry Sawchuk film Goalie debuts March 1st 2019

Goalie, a new movie about the life of Terry Sawchuk debuts March 1st in Vancouver and in Toronto. This starts off back in the day when goalies didn't wear face masks. Ya gotta respect that. Gerry Cheevers claimed that his mask spared him from over 150 medical stitches over his career. Terry Sawchuk didn't wear one until 1959.



Now Toronto is reporting that "Adriana Maggs’s film about the NHL star who died at 40 is a devastating look at one man’s dedication to a game that broke him. Goalie is a biopic about Terry Sawchuk, a kid from Winnipeg who played for four of the Original Six teams, held the all-time NHL record for the most wins, and died after a drunken fight in 1970. He was 40 years old, and a wreck. Adriana Maggs’s movie shows us how he got there."

The Hamilton Spectator is reporting that "In tracing the triumphant but ultimately tragic life of goalie great Terry Sawchuk, screenwriter-director Adriana Maggs had plenty of clippings and statistics to help her depict his stellar on-ice record. Harder to parse was the inner turmoil of the taciturn Winnipegger, whose remarkable run with the National Hockey League included a career record of 103 regular-season shutouts but also left him physically and emotionally shattered."

"Sawchuk's off-ice exploits were infamously punctuated by bouts of rage, depression and heavy drinking, and Maggs says she wanted to make sure 'Goalie' captured his personal struggles with unflinching honesty. For that, she turned to the poems of her father, Randall Maggs, whose 2007 book "Night Work: The Sawchuk Poems" portrayed the hockey hero in very human terms."

This is a Canadian made movie that dives into the dark side of the story. It is epic.

Mark O’Brien and Georgina Reilly's interview on Breakfast Television.



Update: OK I've seen the movie now and I can truthfully say it is very well done. I'm not really a hockey guy myself but I totally respect the rugged courage it took to play that position back then and the movie portrays the human side of the tragedy very tastefully. Think about it, a boxer takes a beating in the ring from someone wearing gloves just like in the UFC. Getting hit in the face with a puck is a lot worse then getting hit in the face with a bare fist. The raw courage he had to take that kind of a beating over a prolonged period was amazing.

Judge refuses to strip Mongols of its trademark

NBC is reporting that "A federal judge in California has declined to approve a jury’s decision to strip the Mongols motorcycle club of its trademarked logo. U.S. District Judge David O. Carter, who oversaw the racketeering trial late last year when the Mongol Nation was convicted, cited constitutional protections against intrusions on free speech and excessive fines, in his decision Thursday. "The First Amendment and Eighth Amendment permanently prohibit the Government's request to forfeit the rights associated with the collective symbols," Carter wrote in the decision."

This is the right decision. The FBI's obsession to seize the Mongols patch was excessive and punitive. The flag has been unfurled as has the free republic it represents. Aging Rebel's take.

Man charged with murdering a Hells Angels associate in Montreal

The Montreal Gazette is reporting that "Charges were filed Tuesday in connection with three murders carried out in the St-Léonard borough in December. In one case, Giovanni Presta Jr., 33, of Terrebonne is accused of first-degree murder in the death of Sébastien Beauchamp, 44, a former member of a Hells Angels support club who was gunned down on Dec. 20 at a gas station in the borough." Terrebonne is right beside Laval where the 17 year old girl recently went missing.

Sébastien Beauchamp was a member of the Rockers as opposed to the Rock Machine. The Rockers are an old puppet club that have sold drugs for the Hells Angels since the days of Stéphane Sirois. The Rockers is the group Greg Wooley was with. Giovanni Presta is accused of assisting hit man Frederick Silva in Sébastien Beauchamp's murder.

Frédérick Silva has been charged in the murder of "Daniel Somoza-Gildea, a Concordia student who died on May 24, 2017, after he was shot when an argument that started inside the Cabaret les Amazones spilled out into the strip bar’s parking lot. Hours after he was arrested on Saturday, Silva was also charged at the Montreal courthouse with the first-degree murder of Alessandro Vinci, 31, the sales manager of a Laval car dealership who was gunned down on Oct. 11."

"Also on Tuesday, Fodil-Abderhamane Lakehal, 21, was charged with manslaughter in the Dec. 24 deaths of Davis Arbour, 38, and Marc-Hilary Dasilma, 41. Arbour is reported to have been a member of the Devil’s Ghosts and Dasilma was described in court documents as an influential member of a Montreal street gang." The Devil's Ghosts are affiliated with the Hells Angels.



The Journal of Montreal is reporting that "In Quebec, several hired assassins preferred to collaborate with the police in confessing their crimes, while incriminating the sponsors and accomplices of their murders, in order to save their lives. This is particularly the case of Gallant, who also sentenced 11 people, former Angel Hells Angel Trudeau (involved in 43 murders), Donald Lavoie (27 murders for the Dubois clan) and the mafia killer Real Simard (five murders)."

Bruno Lefebvre, a member of the Rockers was shot in Montreal January 2013.

Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper at the Oscars

I'm going to comment on Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper's stunning performance at the Oscars which everyone is talking about. The performance of the song Shallow was flawless but that's not what everyone's talking about. Everyone is saying they're sleeping together. I would just like to clarify that you all are completely missing the point. Both of them.

After 2:00 in the video Lady Gaga nails is. It doesn't matter what color her hair is. It doesn't matter whether or not she is wearing any make up. (In the movie she was brunette without makeup and very exposed then was a redhead towards the end) It doesn't even matter what crazy outfit, hat or mask she is wearing to get someone to finally listen to her. Close your eyes and listen to her sing that line. She nailed it. She showed her magnificent ability to sing. That's where ya'll are supposed to cheer and applaud. If you listen carefully this is where a blind man sees.

Bradley Cooper's ex wife has taken some heat for a comment she made about it. A comedian posted on Twitter Is there any chance these two aren't f*cking? And she replied Ha. Now fair enough that was somewhat ambiguous. She could have been denying the accusation for all we know. Nevertheless in her Instagram rant she made a false statement. She said her book wasn't about her ex and didn't even mention him. It was about her gluten intolerance. That is simply untrue. Her book did mention her ex and did trash him an a very childish and petty manner.

My concern wasn't what Jennifer Esposito said on twitter. My concern is what she said in her "memoir" about him. “I should have noticed the red flags from the beginning—actually, they were more like an entire marching band squad of red flags — but I ignored them because, honestly, I didn’t think the relationship was really going to go anywhere,” she wrote. “He was funny, smart, cocky, arrogant, and a master manipulator. I didn’t necessarily find him that attractive, but I figured that I could enjoy his sense of humor and nonsense for a while.”

That's not a marriage, that's fling. Saying that in a book after the fact is petty and cheap. She's trying to trash him and make herself look good but she did the opposite. She looks very self indulged. It was a good thing he didn't have any kids with her.

In contrast, Bradley Cooper's current girlfriend, Russian supermodel Irina Shayk, the mother of his child, is a wonderful person comfortable in her own skin. She hugged Lady Gaga after the performance and sat between them at the venue.



Now I'm going to talk about leaving the shallow. The mob is fickle and Hollywood is shallow. As always, we should aspire to something higher. The movie A Star is Born is no Mr & Mrs Smith. It has profound depth. As I said before it will rip your heart out.

Bradley Cooper directed and costarred in the movie. He was one of the writers. He didn't portray himself as some studly action hero in the script. He portrayed himself as an alcoholic struggling with that disease. The movie wasn't about a steamy affair. It was about a woman who was married to an alcoholic and the challenges they faced.

In the movie Ally is on stage accepting a Grammy, while her husband Jack stagers up on stage drunk and pisses himself in front of everyone. It was mortifying. He had to stay drunk so he didn't have to deal with the embarrassment. When he got sober dealing with the embarrassment was too much to bear. This movie is far from the shallow. It has profound depth. It forces us to think about how addiction adversely affects all of us. It is a sobering thought indeed. Well done.



Perhaps Lady Gaga is feeling a little like Alanis Morissette right now. Perhaps not. As Bradley Cooper explained, that's how love songs are supposed to make you feel. The indisputable fact is that her acting debut was a flawless victory. Let her shine and give credit where credit is due.

Lady Gaga sets the record straight

The Washington Post is reporting that "Grab a tissue and say it with us: Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper are not in love. The singer, toting her Oscar in a bag (seriously) appeared on Wednesday’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” where she addressed the hubbub: No, she and Cooper are not running off into the sunset together. They are two actors who were acting while singing a love song from a movie at an awards ceremony celebrating actors at the top of their craft (emphasis mostly ours). Here’s how Gaga put it:

“First of all, like, social media quite frankly is the toilet of the Internet and what it has done to pop culture is just abysmal,” she told Kimmel. “And yes, people saw love and, guess what, that’s we wanted you to see. This is a love song, ‘Shallow.’ The movie, ‘A Star Is Born’ is a love story.” “Are you having an affair with Tony Bennett?” Kimmel joked. Gaga gave a coy glance before breaking into a laugh. “No!” she said. “No, I’m an artist and I guess we did a good job. Fooled ya!”



Brie Larson and Samuel L Jackson Parody of the performance

DK's interview played at Jamie Bacon's trial

Kim Bolan is reporting that a video tape of Dennis Karbovanec explaining to the police what happened when he was shot at was played at Jamie Bacon's murder trial. It sure has opened a can of worms. Literally. Jamie Bacon is on trial for ordering the murder of his own associate in the Surrey Six. The two star witnesses are the shooter Jamie hired and the sleazebag sent to lure DK into a trap. This is all one big cease pool of parasites exposed so it is.

"Karbovanec told police that he figured out that Johnston was likely not involved because he was also left behind after the others fled and also seemed surprised by what happened. After the shooting, Johnston called out to Karbovanec as he was hiding in the bushes. I say: ‘Matt, what the f–k happened? He goes: ‘CD tried to shoot you.’ I go: ‘What the f—, man?’”

Exactly. WTF. "In another clip, Karbovanec said AB called him after the attempted murder. “My cell phone starts to ring at home. I answer it. I go: ‘You f—ing piece of sh–. You missed, you f—ing goof.’ I hang up the phone,” Karbovanec recounted to police. “He phones back again. I pick up the phone and go: ‘How dare you, you betraying piece of sh–. I’m your friend and you tried to kill me.’ I’m like: ‘F— you man, I’m alive and you missed.’ I hang up the phone again.”

"AB testified Monday that the parts of Karbovanec’s interview played in court were shown to him by police after he was arrested for the shooting in August 2010." So there ya have it. AB is the one that lured DK to a dead end street and CD is the one Jamie hired to shoot DK. Allegedly. DK was a co accused in the Surrey Six. DK shot Chris Mohan who was an innocent bystander. As soon as they start busting caps DK's way he goes running to the PoPo like a f*cking Teletubbie just like the Softside did. That's the red and white's MO here in BC.

Likewise, AB, the one that lured his friend into a dead end road to get shot flips as soon as the police show him the video of DK's interview. So he and the shooter both cut a deal to avoid having to go to jail. There is nothing noble in that. It's great that they are finally going after the person who ordered the murder but I want to be very clear, there are no good guys here. These are all two bit sleazebags out for themselves and no one else.

The only hero in all of this is Anton. He wasn't involved and he testified because he knew it was the right thing to do. DK didn't cooperate with the police because he had a moral epiphany. He cooperated with the police because they were busting caps in his direction.

Kim Bolan also reported that after the botched hit on DK Jamie Bacon got AB to write DK a note telling DK why AB wanted him dead and Jonathon Preppy little dead a*ss b*ch Bacon delivered the note to DK to throw suspicion off of Jamie. AYFKM? A cesspool of sleazebags alright.

They lure one of their friends aside and try to shoot him then deny it was them after they missed. That is the MO of these preppy little b*tches that I object to. DK was shocked. What are you doing? I'm your friend?! The same thing you did to Corey Lal and his guys. You betrayed them and they betrayed you. It's a dog eat dog world. I don't mean dog as in Dawg. I mean dog as in dog sh*t because that's all they are. There is no L&R or honor in any of them. None whatsoever.

German Hells Angels charged with drug trafficking and Prostitution in Spain

TBM is reporting that 46 members of the Mallorca chapter of the Hells Angels are being brought to trial on charges of drug trafficking and prostitution. Frank Hanebuth leads the Hells Angels of Hanover in Germany. They moved to Mallorca on a Island off the coast of Spain and took over the drug trafficking and prostitution there. They were arrested in 2013 but it appears their case is finally going to trial. There is nothing noble in any of that. Just sayn.

Kamloops Drug War Denial

There has been a rash of shootings, murders and drug related violence in Kamloops recently and the media is eager to run off on any conceivable tangent. Rex Gill was one of two people shot and killed in separate incidents back in January. His mother is claiming his was a case of mistaken identity and the compromised gang task force who are spinning for the Hells Angels as we speak are starting to run with that theory. No offence but that is absolutely ridiculous.

Rex's mother says Rex was a good guy. I believe that is true. Rex's mother says Rex wasn't involved in the drug trade. I believe that is true. Rex's mother says Rex's murder was a case of mistaken identity. I do not believe that is true. Not for one minute.

It is no coincidence that Rex was involved in the motorcycle community in Penticton and Kamloops. The Hells Angels have a great influence over that community. Rex's "friend" was quick to tell the media that Rex was a great guy who was very "opinionated" and saw himself as a "prophet" in the Motorcycle community. All of that is undoubtedly true.

Although Rex was a motorcycle enthusiast I think he was against drug trafficking and that is why they killed him. I think he was betrayed by the Big Red Bowel movement just like Geoff Meisner and Britney Irving were. In 2017 Konaam Shirzad was murdered by Hells Angel ASSociates after he kicked the Wolf Pack out of Kamloops. That is their MO.



In 2009 Ken Yaretz and Damien Marks were murdered in Kamloops. Ken had ties to the Independent Soldiers who sell drugs for the HAs. A jury found Roy Frederick Fraser guilty of first degree murder for the death of Damien Marks, and guilty of second degree murder for the death of Kenneth Yaretz. Yaretz was involved with a marijuana crop with Fraser. Neighbors claimed they had been under the impression the property was owned by the Hells Angels.



In 2011 Archie LePretre was killed in Kamloops. That murder was tied to Redd Alert who sell drugs for the Hells Angels. Right after that the Hells Angels showed up in support of a local puppet club in Kamloops. It was a motorcycle club.



In 2011 a Hells Angels ASSociate named John Darrel Krokos of Kamloops was sentenced to more than 11 years in a California jail for operating an international cocaine smuggling ring from Mexico. The Sun reported that Krokos was the Vallarta-based cocaine broker for B.C. Hells Angels in Mexico. All of the drug related violence in Kamloops is tied to the Hells Angels.

Laval police looking for missing teenager

CBC is reporting that "Laval police are asking for the public's help to find 17-year-old Kelly Martin Nolet. The teenager left home to go to work on Thursday, but never showed up. Her family is worried she may be in bad company. Police believe she could be in Laval, Montreal or even outside the province." The same thing happened last year confirming my first suspicion. A teenage girl in bad company in Laval. It doesn't take a brain surgeon to do the math.

Kelly has blue eyes and her hair is now dyed red. She has a tattoo of an AK-47 assault rifle on her right forearm. She may turn up in Toronto. Be mindful of her.



Ma fille précieuse, écoute les mots de mon coeur, s'il vous plaît. If a man asks you to have sex with another man, he does not love you and he never will. Don't walk away from him, run. Run away from him will all the strength of your youth while you still can. He will lie to you. He will flatter you. He will tell you that he understands you. He will even buy gifts for you at first but mark my word once he has his flaxen cords securely wrapped around your neck, things will change and it will become a nightmare you will wish never happened.

When I first became a parent I thought that I would be different than other parents. I had done a lot of volunteer work with youth on the streets. I thought for sure when my kids became teenagers they would be able to talk to me because I could relate to them. I soon learned what every other parent learns. Teenagers don't listen to their parents no matter who they are. It is easier for them to listen to someone outside the home.

Encore je vous en prie ma fille précieuse, écoute les mots de mon coeur. There is no such thing as a perfect parent or a perfect child. If we have a parent who loves us and cares about us, then we are very lucky because many people out there don't. If a parent lets their child do whatever they want whenever they want then that parent really doesn't love that child. If a parent really loves a child they will try to protect the child from harm. Actions speak louder than words. Time is on the side of truth. Ma fille précieuse fais attention, le vrai amour ne ment pas. Paix.



BTW you can always cover up that AK tatt with something nice... something a little more feminine... something a little more classy. It's never too late to cover up bad ink so it's not. The thorn defends the rose and only harms those who wish to steal the blossom. Peace.



Update: Missing Laval teen found. Thank God.

Missing Surrey woman found dead

The Surrey Now Leader is reporting that "A Surrey woman reported missing last month has been found dead. Rajwinder Bains, 38, was reported missing to the Surrey RCMP on January 23 by her family. 'During the course of the investigation, Ms. Bains’ body was discovered and her death is now being investigated as a homicide,' states a news release, issued by the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team Thursday morning."
