Kelowna bans gang colours

Kelowna takes bar watch one step further and bans gang colours in any public business: www.theprovince.com/news/Kelowna+rules+gang+colours+must+stay+outside/1937598/story.html

This is good. It is one step closer to the New York model everyone talks about without knowing what it was.

.

Banning gang colours in bars and nightclubs is a clear step forward. Recording everyone's photo ID is something I'm not sure I'm OK with. First there's the privacy issue, big brother watching our every move. Then there's the other aspect of the privacy issue. What's to prevent a gang from getting the list of other gang members or public individuals to mark and harass?

Let's face it, Ian Grant was a Hells Angel in Winnipeg and a confidential police file was found in his home listing all the names, addresses and next of kin to all the Hells Angels and their rivals in Winnipeg. If the Hells Angels can get a copy of a confidential RCMP file what's stopping them from getting a list of names and addresses of people who visit a particular bar. Especially if the bar is owned by Hells Angels.

.

Likely the intent of collecting ID is to ban known gang members from attending bars period even if they aren't wearing colours. That is a noble quest. Just problematic.

Nevertheless, banning gang colours in bars and nightclubs is a good thing. Taking that one step further and banning them from all public businesses in Kelowna is a good thing. The intent is to stop the intimidation simply wearing gang colours conveys. These gangs are not lawful organizations they are known drug dealers fighting over the drug trade.

One problem is how do you tell someone they have to leave their tattoo outside? Independent Soldiers have the gangs name tattooed on their forearms. Will Kelowna ban them from wearing short sleeve t-shirts in public businesses? If they do I applaud them. If someone gets a gang tattoo and shows that off in a business, they do that to threaten and intimidate: www.zimbio.com/Hells+Angels/articles/43/Christopher+Hudson+proud+Hells+Angels+Dont+t

Banning them from the premises is a good way to start cleaning up the mess by taking out the garbage.

VPD Officer shoots knife wielding suspect in the leg

The Vancouver Sun posted some pictures from that police shooting in East Vancovuer May 24th a witness took on their cell phone. This story has a happy ending. She put one in his leg not in his chest. You don't always have to shoot to kill. Just like with the suicidal man in Safeway.

Hey lady, here I come.



Ouch. You shot me. Why the f*ck did you do that? That's police brutality.

You charged me when I had my gun drawn dumb ass.



I guess it could be worse. At least you put one in my leg and not my chest.



I couldn't see the knife but the fact that he charged her with her gun drawn means shooting him in the leg is well within reason because even if he was unarmed he could have grabbed the gun.



I think I can see the knife now. Since he was bleeding from the stomach in what appears to be a self inflicted wound he clearly appears to be on something. Shooting him in the leg showed professional self control and restraint. Well done. Very different from the Hudson Brooks case.

Regina police officer accidentally shot another officer

The Regina Police service is reporting that "At around 12:15 a.m. on April 26th, 2024, the Regina Police Service Street Gang Unit (SGU), supported by the Tactical Support Unit (TSU), was executing a search warrant at a residence in the 1000 block of Retallack St. During this search warrant execution there was an accidental discharge of a police officer’s firearm, which struck another police officer. This officer sustained non-life threatening injuries and was transported to hospital. No members of the public were injured during this incident."

Wow, this was the Street Gang Unit and the Tactical Support Unit executing a search warrant. The whole point of firearm safely is to avoid accidental discharges. At least it wasn't as bad as the RCMP officer in Surrey who shot herself in the foot drawing her firearm. She radioed in saying she'd been shot and they sent the dogs out who shot the unarmed kid dead. They thought the kid shot her. She said on the radio, I think I shot myself. The alpha dogs didn't hear that part and decided to play judge, jury and executioner. Then she lied in court and said she shot the kid.

The kid was hysterical running to the police for help screaming they're trying to kill me. Instead of trying to calm the kid down she pulled out her firearm and shot herself in the foot. She later lied to the court and said she was the one that shot him 9 times. She was not. She's not going to fatally shoot the kid 9 times after she shot herself in the foot. Other officers shot the kid in retaliation. She lied and the other officers got off. That is the Surrey RCMP. His name was Hudson Brooks.

Australia Comancheros close Clubhouse

The Herald Sun in Australia is reporting that the Comancheros MC has shut its original Victorian clubhouses in South Melbourne and Hallam under pressure from Victoria Police’s bikie Echo task force. Police have laid hundreds of charges against members of the club. The paper claims the vacuum left by the Comancheros has been filled by Australia’s newest outlaw club, the Mongols.

Former Comanchero president Mahmoud "Mick" Hawi was involved with that big fight at the airport where some Comancheros ran into some Hells Angels and ended up beating Anthony Zervas to death. Mahmoud was first found guilty of murder but appealed the conviction and was later allowed to plead guilty to manslaughter which only makes sense since it was the result of a fight in a chance meeting. There was no prior intent.

The Herald Sun is also reporting that "the Hells Angels, the club the Comancheros had replaced at the top of Victoria’s pecking order, has also experienced a period of change involving the toppling of several of its ranking members. Its most prominent identity, Peter Hewat, is no longer the sergeant-at-arms of its East County chapter in Campbellfield, following his arrest over allegations relating to his behaviour in the towing industry."

Peter Hewat, as we recall, was the Rat King. He was the Sergeant-at-arms for the Hells Angels East County Chapter in Campbellfield, Melbourne. That's the same chapter that kidnapped, gang raped and tortured a girl from Melbourne on another pig farm. It was frighteningly similar to the Pickton farm in Vancouver. Although the Melbourne girl was awarded a token criminal compensation for her injuries, no one was charged or convicted in that heinous crime.

Then there's the Chris Hudson story. They bribed him to betray his former club called the Finks to cross over to the Hells Angels. He was caught on video beating his ex in a bar, grabbing her by the hair and dragging her outside where he then kicked her in the head. Later that day he was assaulting his current girl friend in public when a lawyer and a Dutch backpacker came to her aid. He then pulled out a gun, shot all three and emptied the clip into the lawyer. The lawyer who was a father of three died but the other two survived. That is what the Hells Angels are doing down under.

Ottawa restricts Auxiliary RCMP Program

The Surrey Now is reporting that "Surrey's time-honored Auxiliary Constable program is experiencing turmoil following a national RCMP directive on January 27 prohibiting the volunteer cops from participating in ride-alongs with regular, armed Mounties."

This new restriction is a concern. "Some volunteers join the program hoping to become a regular paid cop and saw the ride-alongs as good practical training to that end, Bayda noted." Indeed. On the job experience is good. A volunteer program is good. It helps balance the budget. "Bonnie Mellor, honored in 2011 as Surrey RCMP's Auxiliary Constable of the Year, recently wrote a scathing letter to the editor charging the program has been reduced to shreds. 'Why would Surrey prefer to pay thousands of dollars in overtime,' she wrote, 'as opposed to having volunteers at events and doing patrols to keep our neighborhood safe?'" Bonnie is absolutely right.

"In 2015 Surrey's auxiliaries volunteered more than 20,000 hours of their time. Surrey RCMP - Canada's largest detachment - has 80 auxiliary constables, making it the largest contingent of roughly 1,500 auxiliaries across the nation. More than 700 are in B.C. The volunteer officers are equipped with a baton, pepper spray and a flashlight, but no gun."

"The new changes are a federal, not a local, directive resulting from the conclusions of a year-long policy review following the fatal Jan. 17, 2015 shooting of RCMP Constable David Wynn at Apex Casino outside Edmonton, Alberta." That single event had nothing to do with Auxiliary police. In a traffic stop, having an auxiliary officer in the car to radio for help if something goes wrong increases the officer's safety. Likewise, if an auxiliary officer was in the car to radio for backup in the Alberta tragedy, that situation might have been handled more effectively. More on the job training mght have saved Hudson Brook's life in Whiterock who was shot dead by a rookie cop while running to the police for help from people trying to kill him.

The news article quotes some nonsense from the idiot of the year, Bill Fordy. Obviously this directive isn't his fault as it comes from Ottawa but he is fulfilling his mandate of being a puppet without a brain. I'm not saying Fordy should publically speak out against it and discredit his superiors. I'm saying he should be doing what he can behind the scenes to reverse the decision. But he's not. He's not paid to think. He's paid to be a puppet. That's why they have someone more interested in sending sex texts and shagging coworkers then in doing his job. He does what he's told and nothing gets done. That's the master plan.



Before Bill Fordy there was someone really competent in charge of E Division. I met him at Surrey central. They had a huge display of police and auxiliary on quads along with a mobile command centre. It was impressive. The quads were for park patrols in the downtown core when crack heads flee police on foot.

While speaking with the officer he noticed some kids, excused himself and spoke with the kids before returning to our conversation. He said, sorry, those kids were from the UN and they know they aren't suposed to be here. I was surprised because they just looked like a couple of Surrey kids selling pot. It was also very proactive he knew who they are and was on top of things. That's called crime prevention. Something Bill Fordy has no clue about. Thus the Newton problem.

Bob Paulson came highly recommended. I was told he was one of the good guys. Then I find out he was with Bill Fordy and Craig Callen on a "fishing trip" at Pitt Lake. My response was, if Bob Paulson was a good guy then what the hell is he doing hanging out with Bill Fordy and Craig Callen? Was he really just another FOCCer? (Friends of Craig Callen) That's what it looked like.

The Surrey Now also reported on another great volunteer program in Surrey involving the Crime Prevention society. This is a good program. They help reduce car theft in Guildford and Surrey Place Mall. The effectiveness of that program is put into question when the police adapt the policy of letting crack delaers sell crack in Newton and refuse to arrest them. The volunteers could help identify the crack dealers for the police to arrest but they don't because they police won't arrest the crack dealers even if the businesses complaining about them refusing to leave outside their business. That policy is bad business and is the root of the problem.

Rememeber the Vancovuer 2010 Winter Olympics? That huge success was made possible due to the hard work and dedication of an army of volunteers knowns as smurfs. It wasn't a derogatory nickname. It was just because they wore light blue jackets. They were friendly, positive, polite and persistent. Their positive zeal permeated the event. Likewise, volunteers in community policing is more than just saving money. It helps the police see there are a lot of good people out there that care about their community. It is important for the police to see that when they interact with bad guys all day.

Bicycle shooting in West Kelowna

CBC is reporting that "A man was shot multiple times in West Kelowna Tuesday night during what police say was a targeted attack. West Kelowna RCMP say the 48-year-old victim was in a vehicle when he met up with a man on a bicycle at Hudson Road near Highway 97. The cyclist allegedly produced a firearm and started shooting at the driver. Then, police say, the driver hit the cyclist with his vehicle."

"The driver was rushed to hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries. RCMP used a police dog to find and arrest the alleged gunman, a 29-year-old West Kelowna man, who they say was hiding in the vicinity." So West Kelowna gets a drive by shooting on bicycle and the target runs him down in is car. Somewhat humours.

Kelowna News - Shootings and Machete attack

Kelowna Info News is reporting that "RCMP have identified the man murdered in Kelowna’s Rutland neighbourhood on Friday. Police say Benjamin Cory Virgint was the victim of a targeted attack. RCMP were called to a fourplex in the 400 block of Hein Road at about 6:07 a.m., Friday, Aug. 5 for reports of shots fired. Virgint was found deceased."

Kelowna Info News is also reporting that "The man RCMP believe to be behind a shooting in West Kelowna last week has been charged and identified as Tyrone Reynolds McGee. The shooting happened early on Aug. 2 on Hudson Road near Highway 97." This is that bicycle sooting. "Sources say the 48-year-old victim was shot six times by a cyclist while he was in his car. A hospital staff member who does not want to be named says the crime is gang related."

Castanet is reporting that "a man was viciously attacked in a Kelowna park overnight – hacked with machetes, and kicked and punched. Police are now looking for two suspects in the attack, which took place at Ben Lee Park in Rutland just after midnight Monday." Which means it just happened. "RCMP believe that the victim was targeted by his attackers, said O’Donaghey. He was taken to hospital with serious, but non-life-threatening injuries. Police are looking for witnesses to the attack."

Police describe the first suspect as: First Nations, Between 25 to 30 years old, 6-feet, Shaved head, Heavy set, Wearing a red shirt. First Nations wearing a red shirt. What are the odds the guy was Redd Alert? The HAs used Redd Alert to take back all the drug dealaers in the DTES.

The second suspect is described as: Caucasian man, Shorter than the first suspect, Between 25 to 30 years old, Skinny or slender build, Wearing a sport jacket, with grey and black sleeves and a baseball cap. The Kelowna Warriors on the other hand are Hells Angel rivals.

Helping the Hells Angels obtain a monopoly on the drug trade does not end the violence. Just ask Brittany Irving, Janice Shore and Ashley Machiskinic. Look at the violence in the DTES and on the Surrey Strip. They are responsible for all that violence. Fronting addicts drugs is bad business. If you dont front addicts drugs, there are no drug debts. In both areas the drug dealers are the pimps that give crack to the sex trade workers then take all their money when they get a trick and brutalize them. There is nothing consensual about it. It's human trafficking.

Update: I have now confirmed from a second source that Redd Alert is not in Kelowna. No wonder Blaze is doing business on the Island. Nobody in Kelowna respects him and he is certainly not able to deal with any rivals. All that woman beater can do is bitch slap an ex.

Supervised drug consumption site worker charged with obstructing justice in fatal shooting of Toronto mother

CBC is reporting that "Two more people have been charged in connection with their alleged role in an east-end shooting that killed a mother of two back in July. In a news release issued Tuesday, Toronto police said 20-year-old Ahmed Mustafa Ibrahim has been charged with manslaughter, robbery and failing to comply with the terms of his probation in the death of Karolina Huebner-Makurat. He was scheduled to appear in court today."

"Ibrahim is the second person charged who police allege was directly involved with the killing, following Damian Hudson, who was charged with second-degree murder last month. Pickering woman Khalila Zara Mohammed, 23, was also arrested and charged with accessory after the fact to an indictable offence and obstructing justice in connection with the case, police said Tuesday. She was also scheduled to appear in court Tuesday."

"In a statement sent to CBC News, South Riverdale Community Health Centre (SRCHC) CEO Jason Altenberg and interim Board Chair Emily Hill said they were distressed to learn that a person charged with accessory after the fact and obstruction of justice in connection with the shooting had been working at the site's consumption and treatment centre since 2021. The centre later confirmed Mohammed worked there."

The Toronto mother was killed by a stray bullet while walking past a safe injection site. Now we hear an employee at the safe injection site has been charged with obstruction of justice. Harm promotion increases crime and addiction. The Portugal model made drug treatment mandatory. That's why it was successful. We don't even make that an option. In BC drug dealers sell drugs at treatment centres. If you want drug treatment you have to leave BC.

Australia braces for Hells Angels / Rock Machine violence

The Age, a national news outlet in Australia, is reporting that a branch of the Canadian Rock Machine is opening up in Victoria, Australia which will add fuel to the fire since the Hells Angels and the Bandidos are fighting in Australia and the Rock Machine are aligned with the Bandidos.

We remember how the Hells Angels invaded Australia and told a local bike group called the Finks to kiss their ass or leave town. Chris Hudson decided to kiss their ass and was awarded a new Harley for betraying his club. He’s the guy that shot a father dead for intervening when he was beating his girlfriend in public. Not a good start to their Australian invasion.

The term outlaw in Australia hasn’t always meant bad guy. England sent prison ships to Australia filled with Irish political prisoners. These weren’t criminals. These were freedom fighters. Ya gotta wonder what the British were thinking. Sending an Irish “criminal” to Australia was like sending him to club med.

Don’t get me wrong. I love the holy land. It’s just the image I have of those cold damp rock caves in Dingle scarcely compare with the warm wonders of Australia. Obviously the British were just trying to get rid of their trouble makers yet sending them to a beautiful place like Australia was hardly a punishment. Ned Kelly was one of the more famous outlaws in Australia that held a kind of Robin Hood popularity with the people.

Australians have always been known for being tough. We remember Gallipoli. Sadly, this is no Gallipoli. This has nothing to do with fighting for freedom. It’s about greed fighting over a monopoly on the drug trade. It has nothing to do with riding motorcycles. Yet if they stand against the Hells Angels international plague of crack and crystal meth then I salute them and wish them well.

Vancouver double homicide victims identified

Global is reporting that "Vancouver police have identified the couple killed in a Marpole home on Wednesday. Police said 65-year-old Dianna Mah-Jones and 68-year-old Richard Jones, a married Vancouver couple, were killed at the home near West 64th Avenue and Hudson Street."

CBC is reporting that the police say There is nothing so far to suggest this was anything but a random crime. Previously the Vancouver Province reported that a vehicle missing from the home was located. The police did not believe it was a murder-suicide.
