Hired Hits and Gory Dismemberments

The question I pose is, was Joe Bralic killed by LA drug dealers or was it a hired hit? Was Elliott Castaneda killed by Mexican drug dealers or was it a hired hit? Was Gordon Kendall and Jeffry Ivans killed by drug dealers in Puerto Vallarta or was that a hired hit by locals?

Since so many of these drug dealers get shot here is it so unrealistic to believe locals paid to have them killed out of the country? Dealing cocaine is without question a deadly business but let's face it, these guys want to sell their product. We are the ones fighting over who they sell it to.

One of the guys who drove down to meet Joe Bralic in LA was drug dealer Derrick Madinski. The Tyee reports that Madinski told the Vancouver court his drug deals started at $5,000.00 and soon escalated up to $80,000.00. In April 2001, Madinski said he witnessed Mihaly Illes shoot his friend Dowling in the head twice while the three were driving around in Dowling's van. The claim was Illes was upset Dowling, who was a crack addict, was stealing his product.

Madinski testified at Illes' trial stating that after shooting Dowling Illes cut off Dowling's head and dismembered his body while he watched. Then both of them burried Dowling's body in two separate locations in Squamish. Besides testifying to his part in the murder, Madinsky testified about his role in the cross border drug trade he was involved in that ended up killing Joe Bralic.

If Madinski was involved in the cross border bud for cocaine drug trade, which group was he with? The UN or the Hells Angels? He must have had an affiliation.

We know that Elliott Castaneda who was killed in Mexico had an affiliation. He was with the UN. But he was Mexican. Isn't it more likely someone from here hired the hit on him? The Hells Angels work with the UN but claim they're not welcome in the province and they will pound anyone who does business with them. Did the Hells Angels do the hit on Elliott to cut out the middleman and buy direct? Did the UN retaliate and have Gordon Kendall and Jeffry Ivans killed in Peurto Vallerta in retaliation since they were making connections for the Hells Angels?

That is clearly speculation but it makes you wonder. The bottom line is that the Hells Angels are exploiting kids like Gordon, Jeff and perhaps Joe. Those kids are dying while the Hells Angels who don't even ride motorcycles are profiting from the business without assuming any risk.

At the trial of contract killer Mickie (Phil) Smith the court was told one of his murders was done for the East Vancouver chapter of the Hells Angels. Smith killed Paul Percy Soluk at a crack house in Surrey and said a man he called Yurik helped him chop up and dispose of the body. Smith said "Yurik's not an Angel but he works with the Angels. I know he's done a lot of hits." http://www.canada.com/vancouversun/specials/websterawards/story.html?id=a42e5b7a-f7a9-42f2-b5fc-b48eb22a2983

Hells Angel Neil Smith was convicted of hiring Wayne James to murder Sean Simmons in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia: http://www.cbc.ca/canada/nova-scotia/story/2009/05/25/novascotia-derry-simmons.html

This has gotten completely out of control. The Hells Angels are a criminal organization and their clubhouses need to be seized under the criminal organization legislation. Anyone who does business with them is a liar and a fool.

Anton Brad Hooites-Meursing

Anton is an interesting character. I don't know much about him but he has been referred to as a crew jumper. Some hate him, many fear him. He admitted to killing gangster John Lahn but said it was in self defense. It was a hung jury so he was let off. That was appealed and he's facing a third trial for the murder: http://www.canada.com/vancouversun/news/westcoastnews/story.html?id=c54473d3-6cd9-410c-b18e-2dd4f7b5b4fa

Anton's lawyer submitted evidence to the court that former gangsters had been tortured by Lahn's henchmen. Ironic after last night's rebroadcast of the movie Boondock saints. Lahn was a bad guy. Did Anton act in self defense? That will be the question the next jury has to decide. It's kind of a wild west defense. The other guy drew first. But they're all involved in criminal activity.

I'm told Anton ratted out the Bacons and help Eileen Mohan. Yet it turns out that was false so someone is trying to set him up. I wonder why. We know he killed John Lahn. I am told he's killed two others but haven't found any charge or documentation for that. We know he was at the castle fun park meeting with the Bacon brothers and Independent Soldiers. We also know he was the one who set up Joe Bralic with the LA dealers: http://thetyee.ca/News/2004/05/15/The_Deal_that_Killed_Superman_Part_2/

The Tyee claims Anton was born in Canada but grew up in Long Beach before he was deported back to Canada 10 years ago when he was in his early 20's. Anton is known as Compton in Canada or Blanco with his Latino friends which means whitey. The Tyee reports Riske as claiming Anton is a loose cannon that carries a gun with him everywhere and often shoots it off in the street.

Who Killed Joe Bralic?

Joe Bralic wasn't a gangster, he's a casualty of war - the drug war. He didn't seem to have an affiliation. He appears to have been another body builder lured into the trap of easy money that wasn't so easy and paid for it with his life.

He's the guy that went to LA for a brief "holiday" and ended up dead. The Tyee wrote an in depth two part article about the mysterious event calling it the deal that killed Superman: http://thetyee.ca/News/2004/05/15/The_Deal_that_Killed_Superman_Part_2/

Unbeknown to his family, the clean cut, well groomed body builder started selling pot. Innocent enough. Then he was trapped by the quick money that can be made trading B.C. Bud for cocaine in the U.S. and selling the cocaine back in Canada. This seems to be where all the huge money is made but the repercussions are deadly.

I see it as greed. Selling a little bud isn't good enough. The lust for dump hummers or expensive cars and a fast lifestyle causes people to drop their standards and sell crack. Even if it's indirectly, that is what the cocaine ends up getting sold as. Cheap and highly addictive creating addicts with broken lives that will kill their mother for five dollars for more crack. There is no honour in selling that kind of rat poison on the street.

So Joe Bralic goes to LA to make the deal. Seemingly the guy who set him up with people in LA is Anton Brad Hooites-Meursing, a local bad boy who attended the castle fun park event with the Bacon brothers and the IS.

Two other criminals Bralic befriended who actually went to LA with him were Garry Favell and Derrick Madinski. Bralic's body was dumped in an alley around 1:00 PM on a Thursday. That same morning Favell and Madinski had checked out of the same hotel into one down the street. They must have known something was up. They came back to Bralic's hotel around 3:00 PM and asked the maid for the key to his room so they could check on their "friend" who was not answering the door. Yet they left LA and returned to Canada without him and without filing a missing person report. With friends like those, who needs enemies.

It appears that Bralic met with the LA cocaine connection around noon. Some claim he was haggling over the price which is unlikely. Others claim it was a straight robbery which is more realistic. Since he had no gang affiliation, the LA drug dealers had nothing to lose by shooting him and taking all the BC bud while they keep the cocaine they were suppose to trade for it. Even more money for them. Think about it, people who sell crack have no morals. They are not trustworthy. Period.

The Tyee article explains that with a gang affiliation dealers are less likely to rob you and shoot you because your gang will retaliate. An informant for the article gave the Hells Angels as an example. Somewhat Ironic. However, Bralic didn't go to LA alone as was thought. Anton made the connection for him. If Anthon has ties to the bacon brothers and the IS maybe Bralic thought he did have the backing of a gang. Why would Anthon hook him up without a gang?

Why didn't Favell and Madinski come with Bralic to the meeting? Or did they? Why did they change hotels that morning? Why did they return to Bralic's hotel room after he was killed, gain entry and return to Canada without filing a missing person report? Why didn't his girlfriend who drove to LA with Favell and Madinski to meet him file a missing person report? Here I thought Matt the rat was bad. Seems like more birds of a feather.

The moral of the story is steroids don't make you bullet proof. Selling pot is one thing but as soon as you cross that line of trading B.C. Bud for cocaine to be sold as crack, the risk of ending up dead is dramatically increased. People who profit from the sale of crack have no morals and can not be trusted so matter what they say. Friends betray friends on a regular basis over the greed of a fast buck.

Last night they had the movie Boondock Saints on TV again. It's kind of a funny movie about two guys in Boston who end up killing two organized crime figures in self defense and go on to exterminate criminal trash who evade the law. It's funny if you look at all the murders like a non reality based western. However, as tempting as that may be, I don't support murder.

Maybe I'm just getting soft as I get older. I guess I just value human life. Murder is really serious. Life does not end at death. Committing murder isn't something we can repay or replace like stealing something from a store. Stealing a life is irreplaceable. You can't give that back and it effects parents, children and siblings forever. What we do in life, echoes in eternity.

We need to set standards and draw lines. I said draw lines not do lines. We need to stay away from the cocaine, crack and meth and we need to value human life more. Murder isn't any more glamorous then selling crack. It's cheap, dirty, senseless. We need to open our eyes and see that greed kills. It kills friendships. It kills people and it destroys lives. Buyer beware. http://www.laweekly.com/2004-04-29/news/a-kilo-full-of-kryptonite

Think about it. Bralic goes to LA to trade B.C. Bud for cocaine. Where did he put all the B.C. Bud, in his carry on? Not likely. His girlfriend flew out to Saskatchewan to meet up with Favell and Madinski who drove there from Vancouver. They drove across the border at North Dakota and met with Bralic who had driven there from LA. That's a long drive from LA. Then they all drive to LA together, his girlfriend in his car and Favell and Madinski in the jeep.

.

Do ya think that maybe the B.C. Bud was hidden in the jeep? Or at least picked up by the jeep after they walked it across and stashed it? If Bralic was trading Bud for cocaine, the Bud had to of come from somewhere. Favell and Madinski are the prime suspects. Was Joe Bralic robbed by a LA dealer or betrayed by his own people like so many others in the Vancouver drug war.

.

Interesting to note that the Tyee claims the Hells Angels had tried to recruit Bralic for Ultimate fighting and attended his funeral. If the Hells Angels tried to recruit Bralic for Mixed Martial Arts and attended his funeral and if the Independent Soldiers and crew from the castle fun park meeting are linked to the Hells Angels, who realled killed Joe Bralic? People who profit from exploiting these kids are just as guilty as those that do the hit.
