Gambino crime boss Francesco “Franky Boy” Cali shot dead in New York

The New York Post is reporting that "Gambino crime boss Francesco “Franky Boy” Cali was assassinated in front of his Staten Island home Wednesday night in a stunning gangland hit that recalled some of the most infamous Mafia killings in city history. Cali, 53, was shot several times and run over in front of his brick mansion in the lavish Todt Hill neighborhood at about 9:20 p.m. His wife and young children were inside, police sources told The Post. The gunman sped off in a blue pickup truck after the hit, which one source described as disrespectful because it took place near his family home in an outer borough." Exactly.

"Cali is the first mob boss to be slain in New York City since a fresh-faced John Gotti ordered the murder of then-Gambino boss Paul Castellano in 1985 at Sparks steakhouse in Midtown. 'Even Gotti had more respect,' one police source told The Post. 'He did it out in Manhattan.' Cali was rushed to Staten Island University Hospital North, where he was declared dead."

New York media states it is the first targeted killing of a mob boss in the city since 1985.

Richmond Shooting

Global is reporting that "A shooting in Richmond on Tuesday has left a man in hospital with what police describe as "potentially life-threatening injuries." According to Richmond RCMP, the incident happened in the 11000-block of Twigg Place on Mitchell Island around 9 a.m. Officers arrived to find a 25-year-old man suffering gunshot wounds. He was rushed to hospital."

"Police said a witness at the scene reported seeing a man dressed in black fleeing the area on foot. Shortly afterwards, police received a separate report of a vehicle on fire in the 5600-block of No. 7 Road. Police have not confirmed the two incidents are related. However, police do believe the shooting is not a random attack."

Hells Angel shot dead in Toronto - ID'd / Arrests

The Toronto Star is reporting that "A full patch member of the Hells Angels was the victim of a fatal shooting Monday in a Mississauga plaza that sent bystanders scrambling for cover in what was described as a chaotic scene. The shooting outside a popular gym comes amidst a massive shuffling amongst the Hells Angels in Ontario, multiple sources told the Star."

"Peel Regional Police are investigating whether a burnt-out car found in the area was the shooter’s getaway vehicle. A senior Hells Angels member from London, Ont., has recently moved to the Niagara Region to bolster the club there while Keswick-area Hells Angels have moved to Ottawa, multiple sources told the Star." The shooting took place Monday around 11:15 a.m.

Sounds like hunting season has just opened for the Ontario Village Idiots. It might even have been the Quebec brothers cleaning house again. Je me souviens yo. Sounds like local cub pack reject Damion Ryan from the disbanded Ontario Nitwits isn't even safe in Ontario. There all gonna have a turkey shoot. No wonder he wants police protection like the rest of the cub pack.



Police are searching for a suspect in the Mississauga shooting because they want to give him a box of donuts. Sorry. No love lost in this one. Just sayn.

Update: CP24 is reporting that "On Wednesday, police identified the victim as Michael de Abaitua-Schulde of Mississauga. Investigators say de Abaitua-Schulde was a full patch member of the Hells Angels."

Arrest made in slaying of Hells Angel

There's already been an arrest made in the shooting. Press conference Thursday 12:30 PM. "The Hells Angles don't dial 911." Much. In BC and Ontario they run to the cops at the first opportunity. The Ontario Village Idiots are in the Popo's pocket. Rats forever forever Rats.

Ah the shooter is from Quebec.... The Toronto Sun is reporting that "Two men have been arrested and a third is sought in the daylight gangland execution of a Hells Angel in Mississauga earlier this week. Peel Regional Police say two men were arrested in Montreal Wednesday night. A third, Joseph Pallotta, 38, of Quebec, is wanted for first-degree murder."



City News is reporting that "The two suspects in custody are from the Montreal area and will appear in court in Montreal. Markins Vilme, 28, was arrested and charged with first-degree murder on Wednesday night. Johnathan Martinez-Reyes, 27, was also arrested and charged with accessory after the fact to murder. A third suspect, 38-year-old Joseph Pallota, is wanted on a Canada-wide warrant for first-degree murder. Police say he is from the Saint-Leonard area of Quebec and is considered armed and dangerous."

The police claim it was a targeted hit and don't expect any retaliation. That's because when the Quebec brothers start busting caps, the Ontario Village Idiots run for cover. In fact they run to the Popo faster than a teletubbie just like DK did and just like the Softside did when Chad was shot dead and dumped on Spike's doorstop.

So tell me is the BEU going to give the Ontario Village Idiots police protection to sell drugs now just like the Surrey RCMP do for the cub pack? How lame is that?

Hells Angel shot dead in Missisuaga was a member of the Surrey Girls chapter

Fatal shooting in 100 Mile House

The Castle guard news is reporting that "The North District Major Crime Unit has two homicides on its hands. Very few details were provided, with the RCMP only saying on Monday that a man was shot and killed in a home on Cedar Avenue in 100 Mile House on Sunday morning. “This residence was well known to police and although the investigation is in the early stages, police have no information to suggest that the greater public is at further risk,” police said. A 60-year-old man was found dead the same day in Valemount, about 330 km northeast of 100 Mile."

The Chilliwack Progress is reporting that "The RCMP’s Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) has identified the victim of Sunday’s murder in Chilliwack as James Edward Vidal."

1.6 tons of cocaine seized at Port of New York

NBC is reporting that "Authorities have seized the biggest shipment of cocaine recovered at the ports of New York and New Jersey in almost 25 years. The massive bust Feb. 28 at the Port of New York/Newark in Elizabeth came after authorities checked a shipping container entering the country. They found 60 packages containing 3,200 pounds of a white powdery substance that proved to be cocaine, U.S. Customs and Border Protection said in a statement Monday. The container was recovered from a ship that originated in South America, the spokesman said."

The current crisis in Nicaragua is tied to Socialism

The Guardian is reporting that "The Nicaraguan government has released dozens of people arrested in last year’s crackdown on street protests, hours before government and opposition leaders were due to restart talks aimed at ending a national crisis. Nicaragua has been in a deep political crisis since President Daniel Ortega attempted social security reform last year, leading to massive protests. Ortega, a cold war-era former guerrilla fighter who returned to elected office in 2006, unleashed a brutal government crackdown. Some 320 people were killed and more than 600 imprisoned, according to the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights."

The problem is that there are a lot more that a few dozen political prisoners who were arrested and brutalized for protesting. The problem is that the current president, Daniel Ortega is a left over relic from the Sandinista National Liberation Front tied to Fidel Castro.



We are very familiar with the Gary Webb story and Iran Contra. Communism is bad but so is cocaine trafficking. Two wrongs don't make a right. Yet that does not diminish the seriousness of the current attack on free speech in Nicaragua. At least 325 people have been killed and more than 2,000 wounded since demonstrations began last April.

Doctors in Nicaragua are branded as terrorists for treating injured student protesters.

Free the political prisoners in Nicaragua. All of them.

Fatal shooting in Chilliwack - Update

Global is reporting that "Police are investigating after a man was killed in an early morning shooting in Chilliwack Sunday. RCMP were called to the 45700-block of Alexander Avenue just after 6:30 a.m. for a report of a man with gunshot wounds. The man, who police say was in his early thirties, died at the scene of his injuries. Investigators believe the shooting was targeted, adding the victim is known to police." This is the third shooting Chilliwack has seen in two weeks.

A woman died from a shooting in Chilliwack earlier this month.

The Chilliwack Progress is reporting that "The RCMP’s Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) has identified the victim of Sunday’s murder in Chilliwack as James Edward Vidal."

" Vidal is well-known to police with numerous criminal convictions, mostly in Chilliwack, dating back nearly 15 years. He has nothing, however, listed on Court Service Online in the last three years with his most recent conviction in August 2016 for break-and-enter, assault and assault causing bodily harm with two other co-accused. His older brother Curtis Vidal is even more well-known to police, most recently having been convicted of a violent home invasion in 2016 and sentenced to eight years in jail."

Crane used to steal safe from Alberta bank

Global is reporting that "RCMP said a stolen picker truck was allegedly used by two men to steal a safe containing Canadian money from a bank in Winfield, Alberta, west of Pigeon Lake. The two suspects allegedly broke through the front wall of an Alberta Treasury Branch using the picker truck. The vehicle was then used to pull the safe out of the wall.

Police said the suspects caused extensive damage to the building. The suspects allegedly made off with the safe and its contents, including cash. The two men used a black dodge ram and a dark coloured GMC pickup as getaway vehicles." Sounds like a scene from Fast and the Furious.

In BC instead of trying to restrict bank robbery and return the stolen money to the bank, the government wants to promote bank robbery so they can seize the stolen money for themselves.

B.C.'s plans to expand civil forfeiture unconstitutional

The Ottawa Citizen is reporting that "The B.C. government announced it intends to dramatically expand civil forfeiture. Calling it the most significant revision of the Civil Forfeiture Act since its introduction in 2006, Public Safety Minister Mike Farnworth announced three proposed changes, which he said were aimed at organized crime and fentanyl trafficking. Under the changes, the onus would be shifted to a defendant to prove that an asset is not an instrument or proceed of unlawful activity. Shifting the burden of proof to a defendant is obviously terrible,' said Micheal Vonn of the B.C. Civil Liberties Association." Exactly. We've gone from bad to worse.

Think about where this is coming from. This is coming from the British Columbia government. The ones referred to as the wild west of corruption in the New York Times. When the RCMP task force on organized crime found proof of money laundering in BC Casinos, the government disbanded that police task force. When the Gang Task force confirmed the Hells Angels involvement in drug trafficking and stolen vehicles in Kelowna, the government disbanded the Outlaw Motorcycle Gang Unit. Now with a change in government we have simply gone from bad to worse.

Mike Farnworth is good but this new plan is not. Seizing the proceeds of crime does nothing to stop or restrict the sale of fentanyl, it simply lets the government profit from it. The government then benefits form the proceeds of crime without any attempt to reduce or restrict crime.

Mike Farnworth should have brought back the OMGU. The fact that he hasn't makes this new plan suspect and takes us from bad to worse. The Charter of Rights is there for a reason. It protects citizens and voters form unnecessary searches and seizure. The term innocent until proven guilty is a fundamental building block in any democratic nation. Once you remove that foundation, the democratic nation falls and turns into something else.

BC passes anti-SLAPP legislation

CBC is reporting that "B.C. lawmakers voted unanimously Friday to pass legislation meant to safeguard people from strategic lawsuits against public participation, SLAPP for short, by helping judges toss out legal actions targeting people who speak out on matters of public interest."

"Attorney General David Eby said the Protection of Public Participation Act will protect free expression by preventing wealthy individuals and large companies from using their superior resources to sue journalists, activists or other critics for the purposes of intimidating or silencing them." Three cheers. Better late then never.
