Assault Riffles and Gun Control

Well it would appear the Conservatives are trying to get rid of gun registry and seem to be fighting the police on it. Now why on earth would the police support gun control? Perhaps it's because they are the ones that have to deal with guns on the streets.

However, some argue that gun control just takes the guns away from law biding citizens. It does nothing to remove them from criminals because a criminal is not going to commit a crime with a registered gun.

Now there are different reasons for opposing gun control and they are indeed political and ideological. Originally the Americans "Right to Bear Arms" was entrenched in the constitution for two reasons. To allow citizens the right to protect their constitutional right to life liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

The other was to help prevent a democratic nation from being conquered by a foreign power or a corrupt government. Hitler supported gun control and disarmed the nation before he seized dictatorship.

The Americans big fear was godless Communism. If the general public is armed and has guns, it's harder for a foreign government to invade and take over that country. Kinda like how it was difficult for England to invade and control Scotland when everyone and his dog had a sword. They'd take their claymores with them everywhere. Even to church on Sundays.

Then there's protection of persons and property. In America, if a criminal breaks into someones home and threatens their family, that home owner is legally justified to defend himself and his family. If he shoots the invader he is a hero. If a Canadian did that he would be a criminal.

I used to be a strong advocate for the right to bear arms for those two reasons. Many in Canada are less vigilant when it comes to that right. They are concerned with gun violence. When guns are in the home, fatalities from domestic violence increases. When guns are in the home accidents happen especially when children get a hold of them. When guns are in the home street violence rises when those guns are stolen and used to commit crimes.

The gun registry debate has resurfaced and Harper made a statement about not wanting to turn farmers with rifles into criminals. Fair enough but we do know that the real reasons behind the right to bear arms are ideological as I've mentioned and have nothing to do with farmers.

Now, on to assault rifles. Semi Automatic Assault rifles are a restricted weapon in Canada. That means you may buy them but you have to have it registered and you may only use it on the gun range. OK what if you buy one and you use it to commit a crime? You basically get a slap on the wrist and a lifetime firearm ban which really doesn't mean anything because like i said, people aren't going to use a registered firearm to commit a crime.

There needs to be a more severe penalty for someone who uses a firearm to commit a criminal offense. Registered handguns in Canada are not for self defense. They must be stored unloaded, in a locked container with a trigger lock. You are not allowed to use a registered handgun as self defense even though we are legally authorised to defend ourselves with reasonable force against a lethal attack.

Logic would infer that if someone was attacking you with deadly force, you would be legally authorized to use deadly force to defend yourself. I.E. if someone was shooting at you you would be allowed to shoot back as that would be reasonable force against a deadly attack. Yet the gun control laws prevent that from happening. So in reality, if someone was shooting at us, we would be legally authorized to snap their neck with our bare hands not shoot back at them.

I fully agree there are too many guns in the hands of criminals on the street. Not just .22's. We're talking about automatic weapons, semi automatic assault riffles, rocket launchers and hand grenades. I kid you not.

Right now I can go to my local sporting goods store and buy an AR 15 or a M&P 15 semi automatic assault riffle as long as I don't buy it with a banana clip with a large capacity. However, nothing would stop me from buying the assault riffle with a small magazine and later buying a larger banana clip for it afterwards.

Don't get me wrong. I think the idea of getting an AK or an M&R 15 and taking it to the gun range to blow shit up would be a blast. I'm just wondering how we get guns out of the hands of criminals.

Typically a right wing conservative government supports democracy and less government meddling into the lives of private citizens. However, that is a stereotype. True the Liberals are really making a big deal about nothing when the Harper government wants to make census information less intrusive.

The Liberals making a big deal about that is bizarre and a red flag. Why does the government need to know all that information about it's citizens?

Then we have the patriot act. Isn't that an oxymoron. Overriding the US Constitution by removing civil liberties and calling that Patriotic. This done by a right wing government that had abandoned democratic principles just like Hitler did. A right wing dictator is the same as a left wing dictator.

Harper's obsession with his idol Brian Mulroney and his deja vue push for the HST is very undemocratic. The HST is killing the housing market. Despite huge public opposition the government is determined to press forward unilaterally. That is a clear example of how the stereotype is wrong and shows a right wing government abandoning the principles of democracy it so dramatically boasts about defending.

I will add that no one is going to commit a criminal offence with a registered firearm unless they plan on committing suicide. If someone plans on committing suicide, they aren’t going to care if the registered firearm is going to be traced back to them.

Likewise if someone was going to commit a Bowling for Columbine murder suicide, they aren’t going to care if the registered firearm gets traced back to them. I think everyone would like to see less guns in the hands of criminals. Except for the companies that make guns of course.

Gang Task Force visits Prince George

The Gang Task Force visited Prince George. As they busted a “known crack shack” run by a local gang in the 2200-block Quince Street, seizing a loaded shotgun and escorting drug dealers out of the residence, they were saluted by neighbours watching from their balconies.

“People want to know something will be done when they call us,” Smith said. Indeed. Perhaps Dawson Creek should be next on their to do list.

In a small town police officers don't have access to back up like they do in a big city. In a small town everybody knows each other. When the big gangs move into the smaller towns common sense dictates the local police should have back up from the gang squad.

That means the provincial government should make financial resources available for this. One bust is not enough to get rid of a crack house. It needs vigilant determination to follow up on it to see it through.

Mind you let's hope the bust Hells Angels crack houses as well. Moving in and only busting GTS crack houses would be insane and suspicious.

Natasha Dostal died in Dawson Creek

Natasha Dostal was a fun loving young lady from Dawson Creek just outside of Prince George, BC. She died a suspicious death in February 2006 at the age of 20 years. She had become addicted to drugs.

December of 2006 Thomas Willcocks, 28, died in Dawson Creek. He was a drug dealer who was beaten to death, dismembered and then burned inside a vehicle.

February of 2007 a couple was found dead in Dawson Creek. Police said an autopsy showed Allan Terrance Best and Donna Marie Taylor had been murdered.

In June of 2007 60-year-old Kelly Eugene Roney was fatally shot outside a Dawson Creek Pub. Police described that shooting as targeted. Dawson Creek RCMP Corp. Darren Traichevich said Roney was known to RCMP, and the murder of Willcocks is believed to be drug-related.

This all sounds a lot like the drug related violence in near by Prince George. Well let's see... who was in charge of the drug trade in Prince George at that time? Police claimed no one bought or sold drugs in Prince George without the permission of the Hells Angels.

The Crew, the Reneges and the Independent Soldiers sell drugs for the Hells Angels in PG. Now the GTS are starting to move into town. Selling crack is bad but competition is good. When their enemies rise and they are fighting with each other, they have less control over silencing the public.

What about Natasha? One witness claimed that the other person found dead, Clayton Desjarlais was a drug dealer.



Given the number of drug related murders in Dawson Creek, it is quite possible that Natasha was murdered. However, I don’t think her murder was a huge police cover up. I think society has a misguided apathy for crimes related to women involved in drugs or prostitution. There is a long list of missing women from East Vancouver, Surrey and Edmonton that would attest to that fact.

Prince George had a small conspiracy and cover up. Judge David Ramsay plead guilty to to five charges, including sexual assault causing bodily harm, and obtaining sexual services from someone under age 18. Two police officers from Prince George were also investigated for similar offenses.

There was a former RCMP officer in Manitoba who plead guilty to trafficking guns for the Hells Angels. Yet that was the exception not the norm.

Neither do I think Natasha’s murder is tied to a judicial and government conspiracy connecting Stephen Harper to the Hells Angels. Without trying to be mean, I don’t think Harper is that bright.

Conservative MP Maxine Bernier did resign when it was made public that he left confidential military documents with his girlfriend who had ties to the Hells Angels. At first Harper said it was no one’s business. Yet that was a pretty loose connection. Julie Couillard former husband used to sell drugs for the Hells Angels through the Rockers but quit selling drugs to marry Couillard. After the marriage failed he later became a police informant.

What was far more interesting in that case was Couillard's claim that Bernier had told her the war in Afghanistan wasn't about liberation it was about gaining control of the opium trade.

Yet the real concern was when Harper recently appointed a lawyer who had represented the Hells Angels in a trademark case to the Supreme Court. That appointment was bizarre, obscene and offensive.

However, the real organized crime connection to Canadian politics was Alfonso Gagliano. The New York Times quoted an FBI informant naming Gagliano as a made member of the mafia in Montreal tied to the Bonno crime family in New York.

Gagliano denied the allegations and sued the government for slander but lost. Turns out in 1994, La Presse reported that Gagliano was the book keeper of Agostino Cuntrera, cousin of cocaine baron Alfonso Caruana. Gagliano is from the same small village in Sicily that the Cuntrera-Caruana mafia clan is from.

Shannon Collins Murdered

That sad story of a missing girl from Edmonton could have ties to the Hells Angels. Police have been able to determine that Collins had been living a high-risk lifestyle. It was reported that she was going to leave for Calgary to work for the Hells Angels. She never made it. She was found dead in a rural area of Edmonton.

The question is, if she was involved in prostitution and was going to leave for Calgary to work for the Hells Angels, did she also work for the Hells Angels in Edmonton? It appears that there is a long list of missing women in that area. Can't blame those on Pickton.

The discovery of the bones came a week after two sets of human remains were found together near Lamont. "It's a cemetery," Pitt said, estimating that at least 30 bodies have been found in the area since 1988.

Pitt noted gangsters may also be dumping dead rivals out there because of its thickly wooded areas. "They're dropping zones for dead bodies. They are incredibly dense and make good places to hide bodies."



A wonderful daughter stolen from the world. Turning young ladies into addicts them forcing them into servitude is not a noble quest. Neither is criticizing them for becoming addicts. The real deviants are the ones who profit from the sale of crack and meth.

The Naked Judge

Well Lori Douglas, associate chief justice of Manitoba Court of Queen's Bench has been caught in the nude. Her husband, Jack King is a Winnipeg lawyer who has been accused of showing nude photos of his wife in acts of bondage to computer specialist Alexander Chapman as he tried to pressure him into having sex with his wife.

OK that's just plain weird. The husband is the one in the wrong. The bondage thing is weird but I'm more concerned about what her decisions were like. For us to keep a nutbar like Peter Leask while they get rid of a judge because her husband was a pervert is strange.

Turns out she has stepped aside while the investigation is under way. You mean while her husband is investigated. Why won’t Peter Leask step aside? Oh right, because he’s not as honest as she is. I’m more worried about her decisions. Was she a fair judge? Her marrying a deviant is not relevant.

Prison Photos

Someone sent me a photo of Mom Boucher in prison a while back and I'm like whoa, where did you get that? Then someone sent one of Deli and some of the busted Hells Angels from Manitoba in Stony Mountain prison.

Well Sunday Kim Bolan ran a photo of Clay Roueche in prison on her blog. At first I thought Clay must have sent it to her himself because it looked like a promo picture then I figured it must have been posted on Facebook.

Clay was a bit chunky before going into prison and now he's lost a fair bit of weight and actually has abs. Well good for you. You sit in prison all day and do sit ups. You're still just a drug dealer. I always thought the UN's motto about honour was rather misguided. There is no honour in selling crack or meth. I remember reading an article about how the UN beat up someone in a wheel chair for a crack debt in Vancouver. There certainly is no honour in that.

Clay showed compassion on a friend in helping him get off the crack. Yet that is what they sell. They even stamped their logo on a brick of cocaine. Reflecting on all these prison photos I had an epiphany. They're all showing off. They all think they're something special. In reality they're just kids who never grew up.

Think about it. When you misbehaved as a toddler you got time out. When you misbehaved in school you got a detention. Prison is detention for adults who never grew up. That's why they call it a detention centre.

I remember visiting a friend in juvie. One week he was so proud because he was allowed to wear street runners with all the prestige those brand name runner carry. Then he got in a fight and lost that privilege. I was kinda surprised to find out how wearing regular runners was such a big deal. To me it was like, who cares, you're in jail. If you weren't in jail you could wear whatever you want.

Taking the runners one step further I noticed in all these photos of gang members in prison, they aren't wearing prison uniforms. They are getting special treatment. As a result their ego gets carried away and they like to take photos of themselves bragging about the fact that they don't have to wear prison uniforms. Who cares, you're in prison. Mind you I think that privilege should be revoked. Not making gang members wear prison uniforms is insane.

However, someone just claimed in another post that in federal prisons inmates wear their own clothes. In provincial prisons they don’t. What’s up with that?

Regardless, these guys are all posing for the pictures, look at me look at me. Yeah I see you. You're a kid who never grew up. Look at their myspace. Even Tiny Tim. They all say their favorite movie is Scar Face. Grow up.

Satanism in Victoria, B.C.

There are a lot of rumors about Witchcraft and Satanism in Victoria. There was a book that helped the ritual abuse frenzy called Michelle Remembers. Seemingly the book was about someone who went to a therapist who helped her unlock suppressed memories of satanic ritual abuse only to find in the end the suppressed memories were not real.

Victoria is a wonderful city. Very clean with lots of tourist attractions. They have their crack and meth problems like everywhere else. Yet the city does seem to carry a reputation of being a haven for Witches and Satanists. Personally I think it’s more of a presence of a few eccentrics then anything else.

Obviously Satanists do exist but they’re not limited to Victoria. When I was young and going through a spiritual journey of sorts, I had a look at ritual magic. I thought to myself empirical knowledge of something metaphysical would be an interesting discovery. Something spiritual we could see for ourselves.

I did some research and made a few calls. I had a meeting with a ritual magician at a coffee shop in Vancouver. I attended the interview and asked a few questions. As the conversation proceeded she kept claiming she was enlightened and everyone else was deceived. I kept asking What about truth? What about reality? What about God? She shook her head and said You’re sure stuck on Christianity. Not really I said. I might be hooked on reality and logic but not Christianity because at the time I wasn’t. I was searching.

I was a little bit weary of what kind of rituals they performed and made a crack about the Babylonian cults that would have ritual orgies and the person got upset. She looked me in the eye and said “Don’t you think raising magical powers through sexual arousement is much more humane than killing babies?” I responded with “Yeah but I don’t think it’s right in there.”

Our interview ended shortly thereafter and we parted ways. I failed my interview but I’ll never forget the cold empty look she had in her eyes. She claimed to be enlightened but I couldn’t see any light or peace in her.

Crowley was a Satanist. I did have a problem with the Book of the Law. “Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law.” What a crock that is. They start off with a John Lennon Imagine twist on Anarchy where everyone is good to each other without rules or laws then take it for a nasty turn.

“Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law” ultimately means I can do whatever I want and if you have a problem with that, you are deceived and I am enlightened. It comes as a rebellion against Christian Fundamentalism yet is very flawed. You can steal from me and if I have a problem with that I am deceived. Yeah right. How about if I steal from you? You can rape murder and abuse and if I have a problem with that I am deceived. I don't think so.

I did meet a Satanist in Dublin many years ago. She claimed she was a baptized in blood Satanist and that every time she came near a church she became physically sick and had to walk on the other side of the street. The friend I was with was freaked out when he saw the upside down crucifix in the room. We talked about good and evil. We talked about God and Satan. We talked about how our actions affect others and how we are responsible for our own choices. We also talked about praying to God our Heavenly Father in the name if his son Jesus Christ. I thought it was quite interesting.

It’s still not very socially acceptable to be a Satanist unless you’re a heavy metal musician trying to sell albums. Consequently I think many Satanists pretend to be Pagan or Wiccan when they really aren’t. Especially those who claim their evil master is the Satan Goddess. They aren’t Wiccan, they are something else.

Obviously good and bad exist in every person and in every organization. We all have strengths and weaknesses. Most religions teach the golden rule: Do unto others as you would have done unto you. That doesn’t mean every member of every religion is going to do what the religion teaches.

“Satanists” can exist in any religion. Christ said to the Christians “Many shall say Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name and done many wonderful works” and he states he will reply “I never knew you: depart from me ye that work iniquity.” Christ called the lawyers and religious leaders of the time liars and hypocrites while the apostle John said some religious members were liars and were in reality of the synagogue of Satan.

Indeed, if we were to go on a real with hunt for Satanists in Victoria or any where else for that matter we’d have to look in every organization including Parliament. Especially Gordon Campbell.

Wicca World

Since the topic has come up we need to clarify that not all Wiccans or Pagans are Satanists. Not that I know much about Wiccans or Pagans but I do know a bit about ritual magic. Everybody gets all freaked out about pentagrams. Yet a right side up pentagram is a sign of protection from evil in ritual magic.

The magic circle is a fundamental ritual of protection where the ritual magician would call upon God and invoke his four arch angels to stand as sentinels to protect the magic circle using the sign of the pentagram similar to how a Christian would use a the sign of a cross to ward off evil spirits in a vampire movie.

Turning the pentagram upside down is what changes it’s meaning. Turning a pentagram upside down so it looks like a ram’s head is used to represent Satan. Just like how some would turn a Christian cross upside down. When you think about it, the Pentagon is a derivative of a right side up pentagram and is used as a sign of protection.

Masonry

A lot of people get all freaked out about Free Masons as well thinking they are an evil organization trying to take over the world. That is nonsense. Free Masons make a promise to keep lawful secrets. They don’t promise to keep the crimes of other Free Masons secret.

The logo of Free Masonry that you would often see on a ring or a bumper sticker is of a compass and square with the letter G. G stand for God, it doesn’t stand for Satan. The Great Architect of the universe. The Grand Geometrician so to speak. Masons strive to live honest and upright lives and aspire to virtue. Their craft is a dying one. They are hardly trying to take over the world.

Ben Franklin and George Washington were Free Masons. The all seeing eye on the American dollar bill represents the all seeing eye of God. It doesn’t represent Satan. Hence the motto “In God We Trust.”

I agree with the comment of the last post. I do think Rene’s views of Wiccan are twisted. Their feature article about their secret master the evil Satan Goddess means they’re not really Wiccan, they are really something else.

Rene LaFortune Quotes

I've talked about how consuming oneself with the dirty laundry of others is a less than positive quest. Yet the pursuit of knowledge is a good thing. Realizing that someone who has made threats of physical violence against you has also talked about killing is an important fact to realize.

Everyone talks about Rene and her claim to be Wiccan and how she goes by the username CopperWoman. Now just because someone is Wiccan doesn't necessarily mean they are a Satanist. We had a good friend on the GO blog who was Wiccan. Yet according to WiccanWeb.ca News CopperWoman and Makarios run the Wiki. If you want to volunteer, contribute knowledge, expertise, suggestions or request an article please post in the forums or PM the editors.

Their feature article is about THE SATAN GODDESS and claims "Wiccan males are given to the piercing of skin as a sign of submission to their master, the SATAN GODDESS. Wiccans and Pagans commemorate her feast day on January 28th, which is known only to Elitists as the top secret, extra special, oathbound ninth festival on the Witch's Wheel."



In fact they used the online Church sign maker to say Pagan Herbalist Celebrates the Satan Goddess' birthday. Although I find it a bit strange for a Wiccan to be celebrating their evil Satan Goddess' birthday and how she claims Wiccan males are given to the piercing of skin as a sign of submission to their master, the SATAN GODDESS I will boldly declare that freedom of religion exists in Canada and their is nothing illegal about believing something many others think is just plain dumb.(I can't believe RedAutumnRain used the term Muggles. That's from Harry Potter)

I will also boldly declare that persecution of witches was something from the dark ages. Strange people would do horrible things to people for bizarre reasons even burning them at the stake. Thank goodness society has evolved from that. Yet Rene does talk about how Wiccan persecution still exists and eludes to the fact that might have been the cause of the fire she was involved in where she claims she received brain damage.

It is the comments about how she claims she would exploit her brain damage as a defense to rationalize her killing someone that disturbs me. As does her claim to be cold and calculating:

Re: Brain damage removes emotion from moral decisions
by Copperwoman on Mar 26, 2007 - 06:53 PM

I do have brain damage....for real (VMPC plus a variety of other neurological issues caused by smoke inhalation from a toxic chemical accerlerant - yipee!) and I am far more compassionate NOW than I was before the fire. However, given the limited and extreme options, I would kill the person making the request and tell everybody else what was what going on.....then blame the lack of impulse control, executive function etc... on the brain damage....just to skew their results. The alternative, duh....is to refuse to participate in either the killing or the doing nothing options. Brain damage did not alter my IQ or my common sense!

I won't get into what was scientifically incorrect about their research model.

Copperwoman
(proudly cold and calculating - LOL!)



Here she claims "given the limited and extreme options, I would kill the person making the request and tell everybody else what was what going on.....then blame the lack of impulse control, executive function etc... on the brain damage....just to skew their results."

She talks about killing someone then rationalizing it by the lack of impulse control she has due to her brain damage she incurred in a fire. Wow and she claims she is far more compassionate now than she was before the fire. Interesting.

When this information was posted on the GO blog long ago, the links to the identity of the CopperWoman profile were removed yet we have a list of witnesses who saw it was Rene.

Perhaps our beloved Wiccan Outlaw is from the House of Gryffindor and Rene is from the House of Slytherin. I know Wiccan Outlaw isn’t a Crowley Cronie. Perhaps CopperWoman is. Locally there are many rumors about Satanic groups in Victoria. Perhaps that’s why Rene moved there. They say it's the witches capital. The fact that the Satan Goddess is some of their evil masters is “the top secret, extra special, oathbound ninth festival on the Witch's Wheel."

After all, not all Wiccans celebrate their evil master the Satan Goddess’ birthday like Rene does. Then again, what do I know? I’m just a muggle.

----------------------------------------------------------

People have been asking me so I’ll make a clear clarification. No I don’t think Rene’s involvement with the occult had anything whatsoever to do with Dustin’s injuries. It might have something to do with why she moved to Victoria but it clearly has nothing to do with Dustin’s injuries. I have no idea what Paxton was into. I highly doubt he was into the occult. I think Paxton was a sick individual who might have had some outside help or motivation to gain control over Dustin.

I really don’t think Rene is violent either. I think she is eccentric and has said some dumb things but I don’t think she is violent. I think she’s had some very real trials in her life and is trying her best to rise above them and be some kind of guide for others. Let’s just hope it’s a guide for good.

Langley Teens help catch Armed Bank Robber

Well this is a heart warming tale and a lesson for all of us. Two teens noticed someone suspicious coming out of the TD at Willowbrook. They wrote down his license plate and gave it to the police.

It turns out he had just robbed the bank and had previously robbed two other banks in the area. The police were able to follow up on the license plate and apprehend the suspect. Clearly a job well done.

It was a simple task really. They noticed something suspicious and wrote down the license plate. They didn't pull a Jason Bourne and disarm the assailant. Writing down a license plate is something all of us can do.

This applies to the gang war. If we see someone driving a car shoot at someone, don't jump in and put yourself at risk. Stay back and write the plate down. Try to get physical descriptions too. Sometimes that's hard when the adrenaline is pumping but if you make a conscious effort to remember how tall, how heavy, hair colour, clothes or tattoos, that can help police apprehend a suspect.

Gangs think as soon as they pull the guns out everyone runs for cover. OK most do. Yet once we've secured a safe location we can observe things like plate numbers and give them to the police. This is clearly a step in the right direction towards public safety. All those cell phones with cameras that can take videos can be very discrete yet very helpful as well.

Gay Bikers

I just want to clarify that I have absolutely no problem with gay bikers. Discriminating against someone for their sexual orientation is illegal and making fun of someone for their sexual orientation is in bad taste.

When I first started reading about Sean Wolfe I thought he sounded pretty tough and pretty mean. Threatening someone with a gun and beating them with a hammer isn't a very nice thing to do. Neither is scaring people out of testifying in court.

At first, I was just joking knowing how homophobic they are and how feared he is but the more I started posting pictures of him kissing guys with his sculptured eyebrows the more I started to really wonder. My point is, even if he and many other of these gang members swing both ways, that is nothing to get violent over. I really oppose gay beatings. There is nothing manly about beating someone who is gay.

I would hate to find out someone shot him or shanked him in prison thinking he was gay. Face it, a lot of guys in prison are gay. In fact, I'd really be upset to hear they betrayed him like they betrayed Juel Stanton. If you guys want honour and respect, you've gotta stop betraying your own people. And stop torturing addicts for drug debts. That is messed up.

Our Biggest Fear

Corruption can infiltrate any organization. If the VPD make a mistake, they are investigated by the RCMP. If the RCMP make a mistake, depending on the area, they are investigated by the VPD. If CSIS make a mistake, who investigates them? Who is CSIS accountable to? I find it astounding that in a democratic society, an agency can exist that is not accountable to anyone.

Public safety worries about corruption. What if a police officer was called to respond to a crime and they did not arrest the person who committed the crime? What if they did arrest the accused but the judge let them off even though the evidence clearly showed they were guilty? Those are some of the fears but for all practical purposes those scenarios would be exceptions not the norm.

What if someone was charged with hiring someone to commit a murder. What if the person who committed the murder plead guilty but the person who hired the person was let free? One problem is being able to prove something in court. In a democratic society someone is innocent until proven guilty. Sometimes that means guilty get off when there isn't enough evidence. That isn't necessarily a bad thing. Except when the only reason there isn't enough evidence is because people refuse to testify.

Two Hells Angles were accused of threatening a young man with a gun and beating him with a hammer. They were let off when the person refused to testify. That's hardly the police's fault. Some will no doubt try and twist the saga and claim the young man was violent. He had performed home invasions.

Oh really. Is it possible he was robbing people to pay for a drug habit? Is it possible he was robbing people so he wouldn't be tortured or murdered for a drug debt owed to the Hells angels? Is that possible? I would say it is.

Nathan Marshal had drug debts in Prince George. He had committed a home invasion. Was it to pay his drug debt? Who knows. He had a drug debt and was murdered. Yet others in Prince George were tortured for drug debts.

I think our biggest fear is when the police, or worse the crown, don't prosecute someone they know is guilty. Perhaps they were afraid of losing the case and establishing a bad precedent. Yet if the person was walking away free, you've already established a bad precedent so really you have nothing to lose in proceeding with a trial.

Other than money. Murder trials are very expensive and budget cuts are rampant. We do need to spend our money wisely. Wasting money on a huge murder trial could have put more police on the streets. Yet getting an organized criminal off the streets who hires drug mules and hires people to kill people would reduce the need for more police officers in a certain area. It's a catch 22 really.

Someone who owed Douglas Kuntz money hired someone to murder him and recover cheques made out to him in his possession. Only the shooter didn't recover the cheques because they were blood stained. The people who were hired to commit the murder were convicted but the person who hired them was not. That is what's scary.

Joey Verma has been charged with the murder of Britney Irving. Yet the person who hired him to commit the murder has not been charged. Juel Stanton was recently executed and no one has been charged.

At the trial of contract killer Mickie (Phil) Smith the court was told one of his murders was done for the East Vancouver Hells Angels at a crack house in Surrey. Mic said Yurik helped him chop up and dispose of the body. He claimed Yurik's not an Angel but he works with the Angels. I know he's done a lot of hits."

The Hells Angels have hired people to commit murder yet they have never been held accountable as an organization. Did Dustin Paxton act alone? I do not believe so but no one else will be charged.

None Dare Call It Conspiracy

Uttering the word conspiracy can create polarized effects. Most mentally shut down and tune out with images of nut bars talking about UFOs and world domination. Yet conspiracies do exist and their greatest weapon is complacency.

Let's take Oliver North and the Iran Contra Affair. That was a conspiracy. Yet Oliver North claimed he was authorised to do everything he did.

Speaking of Iran, let's talk bout the CIA's Operation Ajax in Iran. Surely that was a conspiracy. Allen Dulles was involved with Operation Ajax in Iran, as well as Operation Northwoods and the Warren Commission that investigated Kennedy's assassination.

Kennedy was assassinated. Many conspiracy theories about that event abound yet he was murdered. That is a fact not a conspiracy. The official report says he was shot from behind and Lee Harvey Oswell was convicted yet the video clearly shows he was shot from the front.

The video also clearly shows the body guards whose role was to follow the president's vehicle and jump in as human shields in the event of an assassination attempt were called back right before Kennedy was shot. The video shows the body guards confusion about the order shrugging his shoulders three times.

Kennedy Vetoed Operation Northwoods. A bizarre plan submitted by the Director of the CIA and signed by the Joint Chiefs of Staff. If Kennedy had not vetoed the insane plan, the Operation would have been implemented.

So tell me, who is the bigger fool - the fool who investigates conspiracies or the fool who refuses to investigate any?

Paxton's old Warrants

Well a blog reader found Paxton's old Warrants Lindsey was talking about. This was when he was 19. He and another guy were accused of robbing a mentally challenged man of $74.



These are screen shots from Mike McIntyre's article in the Winnipeg Free Press June 7 1999. That would indeed make him 30 and would be much older than the kid in the photo on a Hells Angel's lap.



In this photo he was 23. According to Bruce Owen of the Winnipeg Free Pres in the February 24 2003 edition, Paxton was wanted along with two other suspects for credit card fraud totalling $8,000.

Relatives demand Pickton inquiry

Relatives of missing women believed to have been victims of serial killer Robert Pickton say they are outraged at the findings of a report into the flawed investigation into the murders and are pressing for a full inquiry into the case.

Fair enough but more importantly, what about a public inquiry into the evidence the crown has that there were accomplices involved in the murders? During the trial the crown's case was that Robert Pickton was solely responsible for the murders. Yet he was convicted on the instructions to the jury which said even if he wasn't the only or main person involved, the jury could convict him if he was an active participant.

What about a public inquiry about the evidence of accomplices? Arguing about jurisdiction between police forces seems so petty in comparison. What if other murders are free to re offend? How could Robert Pickton's brother Dave not know what was going on?

The defense claimed there was considerable association between Dave Pickton and the Hells Angels. In fact he complained about the police wanting to subpoena him to the trial because he had a motorcycle rally to attend to in South Dakota. Which Hells Angels did he associate with? Which Hells Angels attended Piggy's Palace?

Quebec Nomads

Here's one from the time warp. Maurice Boucher in a white T-shirt standing about Walter Stadnick with David Wolfe Carrol 3rd from left. Caroline is still hiding on the Lam but Stadnick lost his appeal and got 20 years for conspiracy to commit murder, drug trafficking and gangsterism. Walter is 5' 4" tall.

Of course mother dearest is serving life in prison for ordering the murder of two prison guards. That's life in prison without parole.

MacDiddly Squat

Hey Sophia Loren, I thought you didn't want me to post Randolph's picture? Somebody out there's talking shit. And don't tell me Tiny MacDaddy doesn't do business with people who sell cocaine. That has been proven wrong.

What's he doing commuting between Calgary and Regina anyways? Somehow I don't think he's selling Girl Guide cookies. Although he does look like a complete idiot in G-Unit gear. Now that's a finger and a thumb if I ever saw one. Game on.



So what other stuff is the brain surgeon wanting to sell in Calgary at Clown Ink Tattoos?



I guess Tiny Tim has been puffin too much other stuff. He released a new sequel to Weird Hal Porteous' rap video called Do You Think I'm Sexy?



Why would a big guy have to hide behind a gun? Oh right, because he’s AWKWARD. What did that little girl say in Kendo? The bigger they are the bigger the target. Indeed. A 357 in the 604 will 86 any 81. Word.

All it takes is a 12 year old kid to pull a trigger and any one of us is dead. None of us are bullet proof. We are all expendable. Just ask Juels. Mind you that logo kinda looks like an old Banditos puppet club in Calgary. Isn't that ironic.

Ernie Ozolins

Kim Bolan recently wrote an interesting article comparing the execution of Juel Stanton with the murder of Ernie Ozolins shortly after Ozolins left the Hells Angels.

Ernie Ozolins had been the president of the Haney chapter at one time. That's the same chapter that had beef with the old Red Scorpions that were killed in the Surrey Six murder and shortly thereafter.

Interesting to note that Ernie Ozolins left the Hells Angels shortly after the Pickton murders started.

If the Hells Angels can hire someone to commit murder for the club, how can the club not be charged with murder and how can that club not be a criminal organization?

Another point Kim Bolan’s article indirectly makes is that if so many of these cases are unsolved, changing the legislation isn’t really going to change things much. If they aren’t caught, whether they get 1 year or 20 years isn’t relevant. What needs to change is public perception. We need to report information about these murders to the police so there can be more convictions.

The same argument was raised about the gang war in general. Some said these people aren’t getting caught so raising the prison sentence for drive by shootings isn’t going to change anything. The same conclusion is that public perception needs to change so that information about these murders is reported to the police so more convictions occur and less people commit murder without getting caught.

Rats

Well it turns out that Juel Stanton had the same start Mom Boucher and Robert Thomas did - as a petty thief.

October 1988: Marion Stanton and her two sons, Norman, 21, and Juel, 19, charged with 36 offences in connection with a Surrey-based stolen-goods operation worth $190,000. Juel was also charged with hit-and-run after running over a woman attempting to retrieve her daughter's stolen bicycle, injuring her.

Surrey rats stealing and fencing stolen goods. But that's not why they executed him. You'd think if they were going to execute someone for bad PR they would have executed Otis Garret. You can't get any worse PR than that. Murdering a mother and her twin daughters. You can't get any lower than that.

Why didn't they execute Otis Garret? Because he was Sonny Barger's pal and he was doing Hells Angels business. He ran a prostitution ring for the Hells Angels in San Fransisco. Sony Barger attended Otis' trial. Long after the conviction and long after the murder of the witness they still honour Otis on the Fifthly Few Vegas web site. Murdering witnesses is a Hells Angels calling card used as a warning to others.

If they were going to execute someone for bad PR why wouldn't they execute the Rat King in Australia and the crew that gang raped and tortured that girl from Melbourne. Instead of executing him the Rat King made sure no one testified against them.

Torture for drug debts? The Hells Angels are dirty and their execution of Juel Stanton is evidence they have no honour and will betray anyone anytime they want.

Geoff Meisner is not forgotten

Geoff Meisner is still missing and not a word. When Britney Irving was found dead, the police announced Geoff's death was drug related. That's all we heard. Some said he was laundering money for the Boys in Vegas. I don't believe he stole pot from them. I think they wanted to give his job to someone else who would do it for less money.

There has been a lot more than Geoff and Britney gone missing over drugs in Kelowna and I think it's time we made a list and followed up on all the dead and missing.

People ask me if I think the Hells Angels were afraid Juel Stanton was going to talk, that's why they executed him. Possibly since they threatened Devon Quast's grandmother when he was arrested but I don't think he was. He only had weapons and assault charges. Nothing really to worry about. I don't think he was going to talk, I think he got screwed.

Since Punko's case was overturned perhaps they were worried they wouldn't have gotten Peter Leask again and might have been found guilty of committing a crime on behalf of a criminal organization finally. If that was their motivation, you can't get any lower or dirtier than that. Yet I suppose it's not surprising coming from a club who would threaten someone's grandmother.

This whole case has really got me upset. It shows the bizarre randomness of how easy it is to fall out of favour with the Hells Angels. Step on an eggshell and you're dead. Juel Stanton's not the bad guy here. Neither is John Punko. The bad guy is the evil organization that uses people, betrays them, then casts them aside like garbage.

I think this case is precedent setting. If the East Vancouver Hells Angels killed Stanton like the court was told they killed Percy Soluk, then how can the East Vancouver Hells Angels not be a criminal organization? How can you as an organization contract the murder of individuals and not be guilty as an organization of criminal conduct? You can't. The criminal organization status is there to be submitted to the courts. It's not just on the merit of their ruthless take over of the drug trade. It's because of the documented cases where they have hired someone to kill someone.

Take the Douglas Kuntz murder. Someone owed Douglas Kuntz money. They hired two people to murder him which they did. Only they didn't recover the two cheques in Kuntz' pocket like they were supposed to because they were blood stained. The hitmen who committed the murder were convicted but the person who hired them walked. It doesn't take a brain surgeon to figure out who hired them. Who owed Kunts money and who were the two cheques found in his possession made out to him from? That's it.

What kind of club would ask the Bacon brothers to take out the leadership in the old Red Scorpions because Haney chapter had beef with them, only to betray the Bacon brothers after they did it? Using someone and betraying them is worse then being a police agent. Just ask Robert and Dave Pickton.

There has been enough murder. I don't want to hear that someone shot Davie Giles. He's a senior citizen. Leave him alone. Just be known that he is not from East Vancouver, he is from Halifax and lives in a rich Kelowna suburb. His friends did dirty deeds in Trois Riviere to take over the drug trade there. They are murderers. They are not nice guys. Ratting them out is not being a rat because they are the biggest rats of all. Word.

The Circle of Violence

I am shocked and saddened by the murder of Juel Stranton and I'll tell you why. Wait 'till I tell ye. He was a Hells Angel. It is highly likely he was betrayed by his own people. For what? For selling drugs? No. For being a bully? No. For bad PR. Why would they honour Otis Garrett but kill Juel Stanton? Was this execution planned in a rich Kelowna suburb?

It reminds me of that guy who answered the door to the Outcasts' clubhouse in Surrey where the new Shadow club is. Kim Bolan asked him if the Outcasts were affiliated in any way with the Hells Angels and he adamantly denied it. Yet Kim observed he was wearing an East Vancouver Hells Angels support shirt and hat.

After that report was made public, the clubhouse shut down as it was impossible for them to continue to deny they were affiliated with the Hells Angels. Then the slimy Hells Angels spin doctors went on a mudslinging campaign against him. He was an idiot and was kicked out. We're not affiliated. Oh really. Before that he was a friend. All of a sudden he's an idiot and you've kicked him out. Isn't that really just betraying a friend?

The same goes for Stanton. He did Hells Angels business. All of a sudden he gets caught, draws some bad press and they betray him. Is John Punko next on their list to betray? I didn't make my web site to single out bad men for the public to murder. I started my web site because a gang related murder killed two innocent people. I made my web site to point out the Hells Angels are dealing drugs and reporting them to the police isn't being a rat. Turning a blind eye to what they're doing is.

What is his son supposed to do? His son was a Hells Angels prospect. Does he join the club that murdered his father? Does he join the Mongols or another rival gang and wage war with the people who betrayed his father? Let's hope he simply sees the Hells Angels for what they really are and walks away.

Let's light a candle for Juel Stranton and for everyone the Hells Angels have murdered and betrayed. Indeed when you think about it, it's a very long list.

Juel Stanton executed

This morning long time Vancouver Hells Angel Juel Stanton was shot dead at his home. He was on bail on weapons and assault charges and was due to be arraigned in Vancouver Provincial Court later this morning.

Seemingly he was kicked out of the club for drawing too much heat which is somewhat bizarre. It just goes to show that there is no loyalty among thieves.

The facts declare that when he was robbing grow ops in Surrey and taking them over for the East Vancouver Hells Angels, he was on official business for the Hells Angels.

When Sean Wolfe did time for the Hells Angels as a member of the Zig Zag crew, he received his Hells Angels patch when he got out of prison. They didn't kick him out of the club for trafficking cocaine because that was the club's business.

So how did Juel Stanton fall out of favour with the Hells Angels anyways? It couldn't have been for selling drugs because that is the business of the club. It couldn't even have been for being a bully at bars because Rob Alvarez was caught on camera kicking a bouncer after Ron Lising sucker punched him as they butt in line. Being bullies is what they do.

Word is he was kicked out for drawing too much heat i.e. getting caught which simply proves there's no loyalty among thieves. They are thieves ya know. Either it was the Hells Angels that had Stanton executed or it was someone else. If it was the Hells Angels we are forced to ask how many others have they killed?

Michel Auger

Michel Auger was a crime reporter with Le Journal de Montréal. He was shot in the back 6 times on the way to his car in the parking on September 13, 2000, just one day after a two-page investigative piece on the biker war in Quebec appeared in Le Journal de Montréal, the province's largest newspaper.

He wrote a book about it called The Biker Who Shot Me.

Mom Boucher and Luc Bordeleau

Here's a picture of Mom Boucher and Luc Bordeleau. They're not big guys. In fact Luc kinda looks like he could be one of the Backstreet boys. Luc started off in the Rockers and later became a member of the Hells Angels Nomads in Quebec.

There's kind of an interesting story about Mom and Luc in the book The Biker Trials: Bringing Down the Hells Angels. Page 52 talks about how the Hells Angels smuggled 750 kilograms of cocaine into the country on the Fortune Endeavor. They dumped the 750 kilos of cocaine overboard in plastic bags weighted down.

Mom and Luc went to recover the cocaine using sonar. They tried for eight days but couldn't find it. The cocaine was located about a year later by the Canadian Armed Forces. Seemingly that deal was done with Rizzuto's right hand man Desjardin.

Interesting to note that Paris Christoforou was with Peter Scarcella when they did that botched hit in TO that paralyzed an innocent bystander. Scarcella aligned himself with Rizzuto after his boss that he drove for ended up shot in the back by someone he knew.

Guy LePage plead guilty to helping the Hells Angels buy cocaine from a Colombian drug cartel and ship more than 1,600 kilograms of the drug to Florida in 1997 and 1998 that was destined for Montreal.

The book goes on to describe some of Mother dearest's beginnings as a drug user and petty thief. Just like Robert Thomas he has a list of break and enters and theft. He stole cigarettes, TVs and electronics.

November 1975 he and a friend burst into a Butcher shop and robbed the 71 year old owner with a riffle and a butcher knife. After Boucher graduated from armed rape he started the Nomads. After the murder and betrayal of the Death Riders leader which helped the Hells Angels take over the drug trafficking in Laval of course.

So Mommy dearest started off as a petty thief and a rapist and made it to the big leagues. Amazing what a little guy can accomplish with a gun and a knife. Too bad the knife was found in the backs of those he saw as a threat to his leadership.

Shane Bigman's Kleenex

I didn't realize they made Hells Angels corsets. This is Shane Bigman, also known as Mohammed Ghafurean. He has a facebook support group because someone "lied" and he was wrongfully arrested. Where have we heard that before?

I noticed Sophia Loren is a member of that group. Does she really believe that nonsense? This isn't H Block. They're not political prisoners. They're cocaine dealers! Toronto was the hub. Look at Niagara close by. All they did was sell drugs.

That police agent didn't lie when he made 27 drug buys from various club members. Sure Ward had been involved in the local drug trade a long time. That's why the Hells Angels chose him. To take over the drug trade. Those old farts were even selling date rape drug.

In fact, cry baby in court, Mark Figuereo was caught trafficking GHB in Toronto. When he got caught and realized he'd have to do time in prison he cried. What a farce. Mark Figueiredo, 30, wept as he hugged his wife, sister and niece before he was led away in handcuffs. He was using his wife, sister and Niece for sympathy in the court. What if someone used the date rape drug on them? What a spineless pig.

Ontario are all patchovers. They betrayed their own club to join yours. Why are you so surprised when people turn you in? You’ve built an army of traitors to sell crack, meth and date rape drug. What were you thinking?

Someone used the term support Nanaimo 81 in our forum and someone else asked them why big bad bikers needed a support group and asked if they should bring Kleenex. Believing those bullshit stories is sad indeed.

And don’t tell me “Oh the Hells Angels would never associate with someone like Robert Pickton.” They did. They attended parties on his farm at Piggy’s Palace. Robert’s brother Dave was a Hells Angels associate.

Speaking of Toronto Hells Angels, let's not forget Paris Christoforou who was with Peter Scarcella when they did that botched hit in a Toronto Sandwich shop that left an innocent woman paralyzed. More Kleenex for the guys who shot her? Not likely.

Robert Pickton: "There's other people involved"

Police have release copies of the transcript in which Robert Pickton "confessed" to murder. The media quote "I'm a legend" is taken completely out of context. He's in a cell with an under cover cop who claims to be from out of town. They talk about the media surrounding his case and the guy keeps saying he's famous. Pickton responds with a sarcastic Yeah I'm a legend.

The whole interview he denies being involved. He admits to being interrogated for 8 to 12 hours a day. He claims he doesn't smoke, drink or do drugs and doesn't even drink coffee.

Near the end of the 179 page document he vaguely implies he got sloppy but adamantly insists "There's other people involved." His "confession" is side by side with a strange story about how his family lived in a chicken coup when he was 2.

Another witness testified that she didn't think Pickton acted alone. Giselle Ireson said she was afraid to talk about her opinion that Robert Pickton didn't act alone. She met an untimely death before she was able to testify at the final trial.

His brother Dave was convicted of sexual assault on the same farm at an earlier date. If Robert was slow and deferred to his brother, how could Dave have not known what was going on? Then there's Dinah Taylor.

Gina Houston said Pickton said he didn't kill Mona Wilson.

I'm not saying Robert Pickton should get off. I'm saying that the accomplices issue should be investigated thoroughly since the Judge was the one that brought it up in his instructions to the jury. Picktons defense claimed that up until that point, the Crowns case was that he acted alone. Yet the problem continues.

-------------------------------------------------------------

In an exclusive interview with CTV Thursday, Pickton claims police used him as a “fall guy.”

“Maybe if I had gone on the stand, I would have blown this whole thing apart,” CTV reported Pickton as saying in a telephone interview. “They’re still hunting . . . they’re still looking for a scapegoat.”

-------------------------------------------------------------

Davie Giles Escapes

Word has it that not only has Davie Giles escaped justice but he just escaped from the loony bin again as well:



Gladly he was recovered and sent back to his old folks home. I think he just likes getting a rub down from the nurses. Looks like he's still living the dream.



It's nice to see he has so many different fans that like him so much they keep sending me more pictures of him. Who says every one hates Skeletor? Not so. The rumors must be false cause Pimps don't cry. Much.

BTW Where's Geoff? If his disappearance was drug related, where is he? I thought he just did your laundry in Vegas. Wasn't Joey friends with Dale and a long time Hells Angels associate? Please advise. I guess there's two sides to every coin indeed.



Speaking of Trois Riviere... I've been there. Nice place. Before the Hells Angels took over the drug trafficking. They even smuggled cocaine out of a detox centre there. He might as well be wearing a shirt that says I'm a murderer and a cocaine dealer.



Isn't Paper Mario from Trois Riviere? Now there's a real winner. Nothin like back in the day when Davie Gyrator was running the show. Tell me Davie what do you know about the Death Riders murder that helped your club take over the drug trafficking in Laval? Do you know anything about the Lennoxville massacre?



Or how about Marc-Andre Hinse from Trois Riviere? Connected to the drug trade in St John's. What were you doing out there last year Davie? Just going for a ride that's right. More like taking the public for a ride. Again.



Oh and let's not forget Marvin put your shirt back on Ouimet from Trois Riviere. He's still hiding on the lam. But not Davie's Vibrator. They throw parties for him at the retirement village. Go figure.

Leask Decision Overruled

Three cheers. The Court of Appeal on Thursday struck down a 14-month sentence given to John Virgil Punko by Peter Leask and instead imposed a jail term of five years and two months. One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind. Peter Leask should be fired.
