Alabama police shot a teen dead, but his friend got 30 years for the murder

The Guardian is reporting that "Unlike in the vast majority of fatal shootings by police officers, someone is going to prison for the 2015 death of 16-year-old A’Donte Washington in Alabama. It just isn’t the police officer who shot him."

"Lakeith Smith was sentenced last week to 30 years for A’Donte’s murder, even though no one disputes it was an officer’s bullet that killed him. Smith is not even accused of having possessed a weapon. Under the state’s accomplice law, co-defendants can be guilty of murder if a death occurs when they are in the midst of committing a felony. Smith was one of five teens who were allegedly committing a burglary when responding officers opened fire, killing A’Donte. Smith, now 18, was also sentenced to another 35 years for crimes related to the the burglary, for a total of 65 years." OK now that it totally messed up. Give your head a shake.

The United States has the highest incarceration rate in the world.

Donald Trump met Kim Jong Un in the Demilitarized Zone

The Guardian is reporting that "Donald Trump has invited Kim Jong-un to the US after he became the first sitting US president to enter North Korea. The apparently impromptu meeting came about after Trump tweeted an invitation to Kim on Saturday from the G20 summit in Osaka, Japan. After shaking hands with Kim in the demilitarised zone (DMZ) between the two Koreas and walking with him over the border.” Say what you want about either leader but this is a step in the right direction. Hats off to Moon Jae-in.

Modesto Hells Angels president trafficking crystal meth

The Los Angeles Times is reporting that "Four Modesto residents, including the president of the city’s Hells Angels Motorcycle Club, are facing federal conspiracy charges after prosecutors say they were part of a trafficking ring that sold methamphetamine. Randy Picchi, 61; Tina Picchi, 51; Michael Mize, 61; and Michael Pack, 32, are charged with conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute methamphetamine, the U.S. attorney’s office said in a release. Randy Picchi, Tina Picchi and Mize were arrested Tuesday and will appear in federal court in Fresno on Wednesday. It was not immediately clear whether Pack was in custody.

"Randy Picchi, the president of the Modesto Hells Angels, is accused of leading a drug conspiracy and directing his wife, Tina Picchi, to regularly deliver drugs to Mize and others across Northern California. She was stopped by law enforcement and found with approximately 4 ounces of methamphetamine, authorities said. Prosecutors say Picchi used Pack, a prospect with the Hells Angels club, to help obtain methamphetamine on at least one occasion. Pack was found with 499 grams of meth in his possession during a traffic stop, authorities said."

Another crystal meth dealer posing with Sonny Barger. The Aging Rebel posted wire tap transcripts. The FBI is leading the federal investigation and they were assisted by the ATF and the Modesto Police Department who were seen during the raid. Since the ATF were caught in Operation Fast and Furious, their integrity has been in question. The FBI must not have included them in the investigation or at least included them just enough to not be implicated in the bust.

Fatal shooting in Vancouver

The Vancouver Courier is reporting that "Vancouver police have identified the city’s fifth homicide victim of the year as 33-year-old Vaughan Bradley Lim of Burnaby. Lim was found dead in an apartment building near Main Street and East 35th Avenue at around 9:45 p.m. Tuesday after Vancouver police received reports of a shooting.

Global is reporting that "Police have now confirmed that a death that was initially deemed suspicious, has now been declared a homicide. John Leslie McIver, 78, the owner of McIver’s Appliance Sales and Services was found dead inside the business near Ontario Street and East 69th Avenue by a family member who had arrived around 8:30 a.m. Wednesday."

BC contracts out gang enforcement to Newfoundland

VOCM is reporting that "The RCMP’s Federal Serious and Organized Crime Unit (FSOC) launched an investigation last November 17th into the importation of a large quantity of illicit drugs from western Canada to St. John’s. On that same date, FSOC members stopped a vehicle in St. John’s in which they found three kilograms of nearly pure cocaine, 44 pounds of cannabis marijuana and an extendable baton. Their investigation pointed to John Peppin of Brentwood, B.C. A Canada-wide warrant was issued for him and he was arrested on Monday with the help of police from Victoria, B.C." 3 kilos of cocaine in NL that came from BC.

Well that is somewhat amusing. Since the BC Gang Task Farce is so compromised and completely useless, we have to rely on the Alberta and Newfoundland task forces to arrest our criminals. Police corruption in B.C. is clearly spreading drugs right across the country.

ALERT drug bust tied to BC: Project Elder

Green Justice withdraws support for Brenda Locke

Well this comes as no surprise. The only thing surprising is that it happened so soon. Godon Campbell's flunky, Brenda Locke, has resigned from the Safe Surrey Coalition after riding on their coattails to get elected. We were very clear with Brenda when she ran with Doug McCallum that we were supporting her because she was running with Doug McCallum and the Safe Surrey Coalition's mandate. We were equally clear that we would not endorse her if she tried to hijack the agenda so withdrawing our support for her is a natural consequence of her apostasy.

"Safe Surrey Coun. Laurie Guerra said she wasn’t surprised by Locke’s announcement and speculated it may have been motivated by a hidden agenda.” Exactly. Doug McCallum was very clear in his election platform. He said he opposed LRT down 104th in Surrey and supported Sky Train to Langley. He also said he would get rid of the RCMP and form a municipal police force.

Recently Brenda Locke has started to waffle on Surrey's municipal force even though she agreed to support that policy when she got a free ticket to ride into office. Brenda Locke has changed her position on Surrey's municipal force. Doug McCallum has not. That is what's on the table.

Let's remember who Brenda Locke is. She was elected as a Surrey MLA in 2001 when Gordon Campbell became premier. We remember Gordon Campbell. He left office with the lowest approval rating ever. Brenda Locke fell even before Gordo did. She was a one trick pony and only served one term before being soundly defeated in 2005.

Brenda Locke subsequently ran as the federal Liberal Party candidate in Fleetwood-Port Kells in the 2006 federal election and the 2008 federal election, but lost both times to Conservative incumbent Nina Grewal. Riding Doug McCallum's coattails helped her slip in as a city councilor.

Don't worry, we have a name to submit to replace her. Someone who is much more high profile, much more competent and much more loyal than Brenda Locke will ever be. Fear and tremble great and spacious building, the earth is going to shake because we're gonna rock the world yo.

Steven Pettigrew is a complete socially awkward idiot. When he was elected his claim to fame was confronting the Surrey Now Leader for celebrating Halloween. Word has it that Brenda Locke and Steven Pettigrew are going to form a new party called Wingnuts R Us. Good luck with that fruit cakes. The New York Model is coming to Surrey. Lead, Follow, or Get out of the way.



Surrey Temple leaders call to replace RCMP

Laila Yuile on China's control over Canada

It has been brought to my attention that Laila Yuile just put out a stellar blog post about China's influence in Canadian politics called Playing with the Dragon III. You go girl. Executing political prisoners for organ harvesting is not something we should support. China is NOT an ally.

Langley farm teaches recovering addicts life skills

The Vancouver Sun is reporting that "For over a decade, Surrey’s John Volken Academy has been housing, helping and rehabbing men and women in a two-year program that uses a therapeutic community model to retrain the newly sober in basic life skills. Now turf is about to be broken on a new project in Langley that will connect the academy’s students with another kind of opportunity: to work on an agri-tourism farm open to the public that will feature bison and water buffalo, with on-site milking."

"The 108-acre property at 3892 232nd Street in Langley will be a working farm where participants can learn transferable life skills like welding, carpentry, sales, cheesemaking, dairy farming, cooking and caring for animals, said Vance."

Well done. Surrey’s John Volken Academy helps addicts get off drugs and teaches them life skills by giving them a job at Price Pro. Now this farm is another step in the right direction.

Hells Angels responsible for Brother's Keepers violence

The compromised BC gang task force told Dr Kim that the violence within the Brother's Keepers gang that saw the founder shot dead in North Vancouver Christmas 2017 was internal. What they didn't tell you is that the Hells Angels are once again the ones responsible.

One faction wanted to sell drugs for the Hells Angels, the other faction didn't. Once again, just like with the Surrey Six, the Hells Angels were successful in taking over the leadership of the Brothers Keepers and have hired them to create havoc within the IndoCanadian community in Surrey. As Chris Tucker said in Rush Hour, "Follow the rich white man."

Blackwater mercenaries for hire in Venezuela

The New York Intelligencer is reporting that "A decade ago, the Iraqi government banned Blackwater Security from operating in the country after its mercenary fighters killed 17 civilians in Baghdad’s Nisour Square. That might dissuade some from meddling in conflicts overseas, but Blackwater founder Erik Prince is nothing if not committed to his profit margins."

"On Tuesday, Reuters reported that Prince — who no longer has a professional connection to Blackwater — has a new business plan. He’d like to send mercenary fighters to Venezuela, where they would help depose the country’s sitting president, Nicolás Maduro. Prince met recently with influential supporters of President Trump and “wealthy Venezuelan exiles” to pitch his plan to ship out as many as 5,000 mercenaries to aid opposition leader Juan Guaidó, according to Reuters." He no longer has ties to Blackwater because they changed the name.

The problem with the proposal is that Erik Prince is a sleazebag. One minute he is trying to con us into supporting a modern crusade against Islam. Then, as soon as he gets accused of arms dealing and murdering whistleblowers, he runs off to the United Arab Emirates and creates a mercenary army for the Muslims. I call it mercenary because that is exactly what it is. An army for hire without morals. More recently he's formed a mercenary army for communist China.

Right now the Prince of Darkness is proposing he send in mercenaries to help topple the socialist government in Venezuela. What if they say no? Does that mean he will send mercenaries in to crush the rebellion and support the socialist president? After all, he is supporting Communist China and his army is for hire. How about we just hang the traitor for treason instead?
