Jesters on Google

The Jesters clubhouse is on Google street view too. It's between Pro Auto Recyclers at 10645 120 street in Surrey also referred to as Scott road for the visitors: http://maps.google.ca/maps?layer=c&cbll=49.196990,-122.885109&cbp=12,,,1,&ved=0CAkQ2wU&sa=X&ei=WufgSpHdJYvUiAOd8-DrCQ

and Al's Auto Wrecking at 10675 Scott road: http://maps.google.ca/maps/place?cid=7337047208270906957&q=Als+Auto+Wrecking&gl=ca&hl=en&cd=3&cad=src:pplink&ei=RefgSv21L4bgjAPTkMD1CQ

Looks like Google took the pictures before they finished the clubhouse. You have to see our more recent pictures to see the fence and the dumb clown logo they put on it: http://gangstersout.blogspot.com/2009/10/jesters-clubhouse-in-surrey.html

White Rock Hells Angels now on Google Street View

The Whiterock clubhouse is on Google Street View. You have to cut and paste a search for 21764 61 Avenue Langley, B.C. to see it now. The bullies had Google's link to my site taken down. They must have found my comments offensive. Don't you hate it when bullies play the victim? Kinda makes them look pathetic: http://maps.google.ca/maps?sourceid=navclient&rlz=1T4ADFA_enCA336CA336&um=1&ie=UTF-8&q=white+rock+hells+angels&fb=1&gl=ca&hq=hells+angels&hnear=white+rock&cid=0,0,15722566438680825699&ei=NdzgSoCfF4XIsQOqscHODA&sa=X&oi=local_result&ct=image&resnum=1&ved=0CA0QnwIwAA
This is the web page they must have found offensive: http://www.gangstersout.com/clubhouse.htm

Is that dump truck for burying bodies?



You have to spin it around because it starts off with your back to the property but you can move up and down the street. Just think of the money this will save on police surveillance. Just kidding. It doesn't refresh so it's not realtime. Yet.

The Worst little whore house in Surrey

Update: House of Horrors murder has been released from prison.

Burt Renolds and Dolly Parton starred in the comedy, "The Best Little Whore house in Texas." Unfortunately there's nothing funny about the famous crack house in Surrey that was known as the House of Horrors. That's where sex trade workers were tortured and murdered. Police claim Annette Allan was murdered there and dumped in the Fraser River.

Yvonne Marie Boen's DNA was found there as well as on Picton's Pig Farm. That's a sick connection. Perhaps this is Surrey's dirty little secret. Perhaps it's not so secret. It would be interesting to find out what they found at the Cloverdale dig site. It would also be interesting to find out how the House of Horrors was connected to a Surrey grow rip involving a Hells Angel. The gag order involving Juel Toss Stanton should be over by now.

The thing that gets me wondering is some graffiti I saw a few doors up the street at the same time period. I had heard about the crack house known as the House of Horrors but didn't realize the exact location. Turns out it was a few doors down from a meth lab that burnt down. Someone wrote graffiti on the burned out house that said "Hells Angels Pimp Whalley Girls."





At the time I sluffed it off as unlikely but then I read about Otis Garrett and I saw a Hells Angels enforcing for the crack dealers in Surrey Central. That really surprised me. What were the Hells Angels doing in Surrey Central and why were they enforcing for crack dealers there? I had no idea. I guess I was just naive.

So here's the math. If the Hells Angels are connected to the crack trade in Surrey and if the Hells Angels are involved in prostitution, then maybe that graffiti I saw was a cry for help. It makes me very upset the Hells Angels are now allowed to broadcast their Jesters Puppet Clubhouse in Surrey. That's the last thing we need here.

The Jesters Clubhouse in Surrey

This has got to be the dumbest gang logo I have ever seen. Kim Bolan reported on the Jesters new clubhouse at or about 10665 120th Street in Surrey so I thought I'd drive by and have a look. Sure enough you can't miss it. It's got that stupid clown logo screaming criminal organization for the world to see. http://www.vancouversun.com/news/Puppet+biker+clubs+tied+Hells+Angels+have+cops+worried/2026311/story.html

I can't believe they're allowed to advertise a criminal organization like that. Right between two auto wreckers adjacent to the highest car theft park and ride Sky Train Station in the system. Isn't that ironic. They should seize it under the criminal organization legislation. At least shut it down for the most embarrassing gang logo in Surrey. This isn't a batman movie.

.

I did see a MMA fighter on the fight network the other night with a Jester Tattoo on his shoulder. He was from Quebec and the fight was in Quebec but the crowd booed him. I've never seen a MMA fighter get booed before. Perhaps it's a sign of the times.

The Red Scorpions

Kim Bolan was the one who first broke the news about the Red Scorpions being involved in the Surrey Six murder. Not only were they involved, they were the victims. The Bacon brothers used to be affiliated with the UN and broke off from them to take over the Red Scorpions.

The Red Scorpions used to be friends and or affiliates with the UN. Those were the people killed in the Surrey Six murder. One other guy was killed in the Guildford parking lot and a mother was gunned down not far away with her son in the car. These were the Red Scorpions who were affiliated with the UN.

It is clear that the Bacon brothers were attempting a hostile take over of the Red Scorpions similar to the take over of the Independent Soldiers leadership which for all practical purposes was successful. http://www.vancouversun.com/news/linked+Scorpions+gang+make+Surrey+court+appearances/1582997/story.html
The UN did not take kindly to the take over and have been killing off bad bacon as we speak: http://www.vancouversun.com/entertainment/movie-guide/Bacon+brothers+associates+dead+since+warning+issued/1963998/story.html
Obviously this is over the sale of drugs. However, since the Hells Angels are clearly the cocaine kingpins in the province and no one sells drugs in Prince George without the Hells Angels permission, one has to wonder how they fit into the picture. Perhaps we could ask Hells Angel Larry Amero who was seen with Independent Soldier Randy Naicker. Randy N was with the Bacon brother's crew when they were arrested in Castle park wearing body armour. http://www.vancouversun.com/news/Founder+Metro+Vancouver+gang+Independent+Soldiers+parole/1993805/story.html
The police tell us that the new IS are a puppet club of the Hells Angels just like the Crew, the Renegades and the court Jesters. Since the Hells Angels run all these puppet clubs and profit from their sale of drugs, how can they not be involved in this turf dispute between the UN's Red Scorpions and the Bacon brother's Red Scorpions? Larry should know. He's the one with his finger in all the cow pies.

For all practical purposes the Hells Angels tolerate the UN and have been caught doing business with them but it's all very suspicious when Ron Lising and John Punko claim the UN aren't welcome in the province and they will pound anyone who does business with them. It makes for the Hells Angels associates who do do business with the UN suspicious. Especially when a UN members ended up dead in Mexico after having done business with a Hells Angel associate there. Did I say Matt the Rat again? My bad.

Perhaps the UN are perfectly aware of the betrayal and were responsible for the death of the Hell's Angels Bob and Doug McKenzie shot up in Mexico. It's all a viscous circle of betrayal and speculation. More like a soap opera. There used to be honour amongst thieves back in the day. Not any more. Now the Hells Angels just keep lying to as many people as will believe them.

My point is, as we clearly see how bad the Bacon brothers and associates are, let's not forget who encourages, supported and or endorsed their hostile take over of the Red Scorpions because the puppet master is not less blameworthy than the puppet.

Street prostitution

The Province ran an opinionated editorial on prostitution: http://www.theprovince.com/health/Street+prostitution+scourge+that+must/2118802/story.html

They say prostitution is the oldest profession so what's the problem. I tell you what the problem is, exploitation. Remember back in the day when there used to be areas of Vancouver were prostitutes were pretty? Now everywhere you go the skid row prostitute shows up needing $5 for crack.

It used to be just the prostitutes from East Van were scary, beaten and abused drug addicts. Now, that's all there is. Take Surrey for example. A Surrey crack ho is frightening. Any john who wants to have sex with that is disturbed. However, she didn't always look that way. The drugs and the std's have physically transformed her. Legalize it? I disagree. That will not stop exploitation. It will only make a difficult task impossible as the police wouldn't be able to make any arrests. The plague would continue. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=af3RjDntlhs

The real problem is the crack and crystal meth. We see prolific offenders steal to pay for the drugs and exploited woman ho for it. We need enforcement to help addicts stop committing suicide at taxpayers expense.

The New York Model

Everyone talks about the New York model but few have any idea what that means. From the mid 19th century in Gangs of New York to the Warriors of the /70's, New York City had a history of being plagued with gang crime. Yet everyone talks about how New York has changed and how safe it is now. This is what people refer to as the New York model.

It didn't happen through safe injection sites or through legalization of crack. Three things happened. 1) They cracked down on the gangs 2) They cracked down on the crack dealers and stopped letting them sell crack in public and 3) They moved Disney on the Deuce.

When I visited New York in the /80's there were no real gangs. Just a handful of small insignificant ones. The police broke up the gangs by making it harder for them to do business when they wore colours. If they saw a gang or individual wearing gang colours, they would take the person aside and search them. If they were found with drugs or weapons, they were arrested.

Wearing gang colours was just cause for a search. Here gang tattoos should be just cause for a search. Gang tattoos are not freedom of expression and freedom of association. Chris Hudson in Australia pointed to his Hells Angels tattoo and said "Don't you know who I am? I'm a Hells Angel." Having and showing that tattoo was an act of intimidation. Being a member of a criminal organization is just cause for them to be periodically searched.

Not every day in the middle of the night but certainly as they go out in public and jeopardize public safety. Random searches of known gang members for drugs or guns is an example of the New York model which was successful in restoring peace in that crime ridden area.



When I was in New York, gangs weren't the problem, the crack epidemic was. That was the first thing they did to address the problem. They stopped letting crack dealers sell crack in public. This sounds simple but takes focused determination to achieve. As soon as police turn the corner the crack dealers come back like rats on garbage.

Knowing that crack dealers get released quickly and that the paper work on the arrests is undaunting, it's easier to drive by and turn a blind eye to it. Following up on a campaign to stop crack from being sold in public at Surrey central requires ongoing attention. Surveillance cameras would help.

Moving Disney on the deuce was shocking.

East 42nd Street was full of crack dealers and smutty porn theatres like Soho in London. Moving Disney in was high risk but it paid off. That's like moving Disney to Main and Hastings in Vancouver. Yet a coordinated effort saw a transformation in the City which the rest of the world refers to as the New York Model. It doesn't come through complacency and safe injection sites. We've tried being enablers and it didn't work. Now let's try being responsible citizens and see how that goes. Let's try the New York model and leave Amsterdam for Amsterdam.

Let's give it up for New York.

That's not where I'm from but it is where I've been.

I support the Ghetto Gospel.

Bad Bacon's wrongful death suit

So the Mohan's have filed a wrongful death suit against those charged in their son's murder along with the landlords of the strata. Interesting discussions have arisen. http://www.vancouversun.com/news/Surrey+victim+parents+file+suit+saying+death+preventable/2117965/story.html

.

The purpose of a wrongful death suit in civil court is often a back up in case the judicial system fails as many surmised in the OJ case. Did the LAPD plant the bloody glove? Unlikely but possible. Did he do it? Criminal court said no civil court said yes. All I know is putting that show on TV by OJ, "If I did it, Here's how it happened" would have been satanic: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/If_I_Did_It

.

What happens if the judicial system in B.C. fails again and the Bacon brothers walk. Again. Thus the need for a wrongful death suit. Getting off this time is unlikely with a confession but already it looks like history repeating itself with an abuse of the charter.

In August of 2005 Jonathan Bacon was arrested with two machine pistols, two handguns, silencers, (like Randy Potts) a bullet proof vest, crack, ecstasy, marijuana and almost $100,000.00 in cash. June of 2008 Judge Donald Gardiner ruled police did not have grounds for the warrant used to make the seizures and this bad bacon walked. http://www2.canada.com/theprovince/news/story.html?id=4eac5a2f-2b73-4575-a562-b18d374179d3

.

Did you catch that? The police had a search warrant. This quack of a Judge over ruled the search warrant and let the guy free who was caught with guns and crack. I think the Mohan's should include Judge Donald Gardiner in their wrongful death suit. He carries serious liability here for failing to protect public safety.

This is an example of a bad decision that leaves the public wondering if this judge is inept or corrupt. Which is it? It's either one or the other because this kind of defiant abuse of the charter is clearly treason. Yet April 2007 we see history repeat itself.

In April 2007, the Bacon brothers were caught again with four loaded handguns and five magazines in their SUV and their lawyer is once again trying to throw out the evidence on a abuse of the charter. The police obtained a warrant to follow the SUV. The Bad Bacon's were involved in a shootout, as their vehicle was riddled with bullets and Jamie was hit though incurring only a bruise thanks to body armour. http://www.vancouversun.com/news/Bacon+brothers+court+drug+charges/2120063/story.html

The police investigated the crime scene and found .40 caliber shells inside the corvette Jamie was driving which was riddled with .45 caliber bullets. It appeared that the Jamie was was firing back at the shooters with a glock.

.

The corvette, the SUV and the garage door were all riddled with bullets. A search of the SUV found four loaded handguns in a secret compartment. This was a crime scene. Police don't need a warrant to search a crime scene. Abusing the charter yet again would be treason.

Another bad Bacon is their parents who deny and rationalize criminal behavior. Good parents don't so that. The father, Davie Bacon, the prime pig so to speak arrogantly told the media his kids, the three little pigs, weren't gangsters and that his son Jonathon was innocent and that he was confident all charges against them would be dropped and the matter would be over with. http://www2.canada.com/vancouversun/news/story.html?id=cf31bc76-e4e6-43f9-8383-a8b6d3ed6bba

That was in 2008 right before Donald Duck threw out the evidence against his son Jonathan Bacon, where Jonathan was caught with guns, drugs and cash. The father prime pig was right. The charges against his son were dropped through an abuse of the charter but the case was far from over. His son was not innocent. He was caught with the guns, drugs and cash. The evidence was thrown out by abusing a technicality. For his father to arrogantly claim his son was innocent is an outrage. His name should be added to the wrongful death suit.

.

Another bone of contention I have is the fact that the court recently heard that on February of 2007 all three brothers were under investigation for conspiracy to commit murder. Why would the youngest brother be charged in the Surrey Six murder but not the older two brothers? They should be added to the wrongful death suit.

East Van doesn't look after it's own

The Vancouver Province ran an excellent article by a retired VPD officer about exploitation in East Van: http://www.theprovince.com/news/operation-phoenix/supply+young+kids/2085350/story.html

.

He spoke about the exploitation of the youth and how predators are ready to take advantage of them. He compared it to throwing a poodle into a shark tank. He touched on prostitution as young as 14 and gave an example of even younger than that. All to pay for drug addictions from exploited addicts.

.

I think the key word here is predators. That's exactly what they are. Many from East Van used to beak off and say we take care of our own. Perhaps it used to be. Perhaps it never was. Sick yuppies from the Granville strip occasionally participated in malicious beatings of the homeless. The recent attack on a homeless man on the Drive where three white males set a homeless man on fire as he slept on an abandoned couch was shameful.

.

The theory was that the homeless were safe from those kind of attacks in East Van. Yet the VPD released videos of under cover officers dressed as vulnerable seniors in East Van. Often they would get beaten and robbed.

I remember taking teenagers into blood alley by Pigeon corner to hand out food, jackets and gloves during winter. The youth I brought were surprised to see the reaction of the homeless. First it was fear. The homeless were afraid the youth were going to assault them. Then it was shock and relief when instead of beating them the youth gave them something to help them make it through the night.

.

.

I never really clued in until now but the elderly and the homeless have always been exploited in East Van. The reason people beak off and claim East Van takes care of their own is because the bullies don't want outsiders protecting their victims from being robbed. Nor do they want anyone to interfere with the money they make from exploiting the addicts. This is how the Hells Angels who import cocaine into Canada make their living.

.

Once we expand the CCTV project from Scott Road Sky Train Station to Surrey Central, the next step is to do it in East Van. You can't recover from an addiction where you have predators yelling crack crack crack in your face pushing the drug on you. We need to target the dealers not the addicts.

Closed Circuit Television Vs. Google Street View

Well I'm thrilled to see closed circuit television installed in the Scot Road Sky Train station parking lot. Here we have a place that was high in vehicle break ins being monitored by closed circuit television. Great idea. They should put cameras at Surrey central where the crack dealers sell crack in public.

Wait a minute, we do. It's called Google Street view: http://www.bclocalnews.com/surrey_area/surreyleader/news/63692732.html

If you go to Google Street view and scroll over to Surrey Central Sky Train Station this is what you see:
.

.

It doesn't seem refresh or be live stream though which is likely a good thing. I'll admit the Google Street view is a cool feature of modern technology. Privacy concerns do arise when it expands into residential neighbourhoods. Criminals could use it to case out a neighbourhood to see when people are away to rob them. Stalkers could keep tags on an ex or rapists could find victim patterns. None of which is good. I'm hopeful those concerns will be addresses.
.

Web cams of rush hour traffic, border line ups or snow conditions are great ideas. Common sense needs to balance out the obvious privacy concerns. Nevertheless I'm all for the Scott Road Sky Train Station parking lot CCTV cameras being installed at Surrey Central.

They already have them outside SFU at surrey Place which caught a vicious stabbing on camera:

.

.

Another stabbing suspect at the Broadway Station:

.

.

They even already have them at the Surrey Central Sky Train Station which caught the savage beating of Matthew Martins. We just need a couple of cameras across the street to keep tabs on the crack dealers. Notice I said dealers not addicts.

.

Vancouver Special Edition

Look what they pulled out of the Fraser River. Not another body. This time is was an automatic weapon. We've all heard about the Saturday night special. A small handgun that has a short barrel and isn't very accurate but is easily concealed. Well this is a Vancouver Special. http://www.vancouversun.com/news/Police+trace+deadly+machine+pistol+linked+Vancouver+gang+shootings/2082564/story.html

Did ya see the movie, Grand Torino with Clint Eastwood? Well there's a funny scene in the movie of two cars of gang bangers beaking off to each other. One guy pulls out a gun as if to say shut up and walk away while a guy from the other group pulls out an Uzi and shouts "How many bullets you got?" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Mm3KGitZfQ

Funny in a movie but not so funny in real life. This compact machine gun with a silencer was found floating down the Fraser river and was used in some gang related shootings recently. You're got to admire the firearm. They're small, very fast but not that accurate because of the short barrel. Add the silencer and you lengthen the barrel and the bullets have a straighter trajectory. Ingenious actually.

But what ever happened to Chris Tucker's put your gun down and fight me like a man? Now it's like homeboy brought a knife to a gun fight. Some guy pulls a gun, someone else pulls out a bigger gun, then someone pulls out a machine gun. Then someone like Randy Potts pulls out one of his hand grenades and someone like the Bandidos pulls out one of their rocket launchers and everyone starts to blow sh*t up. That is f*cked up.

.

Like I said it's the same mentality as swarming. A group of guys swarm someone, bear spray them, then give him the boots. There is nothing manly about that. People who swarm are asking to get swarmed. I remember one kid tell me they were always nice to geeks in high school because you never know if they were going to snap and come back with a gun to shoot everyone who made fun of them.

.

All the gun violence is messed up. Not only because it isn't manly but because it's over the right to sell crack and crystal meth. That is messed up. Completely.

Burton Rice, XMMA and the Hells Angels

Speaking of Chuck Liddell and the Hells Angels, Burton Rice seems to be an interesting character. He's the president of a new UFC league called XMMA. He was arrested in the police's combined Operation SharQc connecting him with criminal activity involving the Hells Angels. http://topmmanews.com/2009/06/03/police-arrest-hells-angels-and-xmma-president/

He's also the publisher of a magazine called Naked Eye: http://giornalistica.blogspot.com/2009/07/magazine-front-for-hells-angels-drug.html

http://canadianmags.blogspot.com/2009/06/naked-eye-publisher-arrested-in-major.html

I heard this story and cast it aside since it was about smuggling cigarettes which I didn't think was a big deal. However, it also involves money laundering, drug smuggling and MMA. Interesting how this magazine run by Burton Rice had tons of money ($3-$4 million was found in their safes) but they weren't paying their employees while hiding under the Hells Angels banner. Not good business. Kinda like what they did in Amsterdam. People don't like to do business with bullies. http://www.mastheadonline.com/news/2009/20090727647.shtml

It also involves how they harass people, as well as steal and extort from them in the tobacco industry:

http://www.publicintegrity.org/articles/entry/1232/

http://www.publicintegrity.org/articles/entry/1232/

The bottom line is giving a business license to operate mixed martial arts venues to an associate of the Hells Angels, a criminal organization is just plain wrong. Allow UFC competitions but ban the Hells Angels from taking control of them.

Update: My condolences to Bob Green's family - Bob Green's Eulogy

Chuck Liddell and the Hells Angels

This is old news and I don't want to make a big deal about it, but I just want to flog a dead horse and emphasize my concerns and frustrations with the Hells Angels. First I want to say that Chuck Liddell is first class. Not just because he can kick my ass but because he has proven himself in the ring. It's no wonder the Hells Angels are attracted to him.

Rumor has it he spends time with the Hells Angels when he is in Vancouver. True or false it doesn't really matter. If he does that is his right. My concern is what about the other things the Hells Angels do that relate to criminal activity. Look at Australian rules football player Alan Didak. He hitched a ride with Hells Angel Chris Hudson when out clubbing. He was in the car when Hudson pulled out a gun and started shooting. Awkward.

.

The photos of Chuck with some Vancouver Hells Angels reminds me of a kid getting his picture with Hulk Hogan. Somehow getting your photo with a WWF star makes you a star. Just because Chuck has had his photo taken with some Hells Angels doesn't really mean anything.

.

I'll admit Chuck's strange interview on Good Morning Texas sounded like he was wacked out on drugs but he was tested and passed. Chuck was tired and on sleeping pills. The bottom line is Chuck had a successful UFC career and retired with honour. Tito Ortiz on the other hand appears to be a bit of an asshole despite his competence.

.

The reason I bring this up is to illustrate some people of interest in the photos. In the first two photos we see cousins and friends Len Pelletier and Bob Green. Len is on Chuck's right and Bob is the second on Chuck's left. Len Pelletier is the Hells Angel who lives in a gated fortress in Langley who was shot at picking his kid up from high school. Bob Green is a director of Grant Street holdings which owns the Hells Angels Burnaby clubhouse.

.

The second two photos has Rob Alvarez with Chuck Liddell. In the last photo Rob is on Chuck's right and in the second from last photo Rob is the person on the far left in the picture. Rob Alvarez was the guy who was kicking a bouncer while his friend Hells Angel Ron Lising sucker punched the bouncer as they butt in line at the Au Bar in Vancouver. My point is Chuck Liddell is better than these people. The Hells Angels should leave him alone and they should leave George St. Pierre alone too. There's a lot of talk on the Internet about how the Hells Angels are trying to get cozy with George St. Pierre.

.

Just remember that the Hells Angels went to Australia with the sole purpose of starting shit. They patched over a member of a local club called the Finks. The police say they bribed the guy with a new Harley to betray his crew. Then they told the old club to leave town and a fight broke out at a mixed martial arts competition both groups attended. Guns were used in public.

.

The reason they went to Australia was to take over the drug trade in that area. The Hells Angels enforce for the crack dealers in Surrey central. I saw them. UFC is good. The Hells Angels are bad. We don't need them here and we don't need them involved with the mixed martial arts venue. Mom Boucher is not a nice guy. We don't need or want anything to do with him.

Stephen Harper gets high

Stephen Harper said he gets high with a little help from his friends. At least he did when he recently sang a Beatles song at a National Arts Centre Gala in Ottawa. He surprised the audience by playing the piano and singing the Beatles song, With a Little Help from My Friends. www.cbc.ca/arts/story/2009/10/03/harper-piano.html

The article claims Harper is a Beatles fan. Sorry if I find this amusing. Here we have the ultra conservative who regularly sports the famous Mr Rogers sweaters claiming he's a Beatles fan and sings the song with the line I get high with a little help from my friends in the lyrics. www.youtube.com/watch?v=EmOtWyjs8iU

Rather amusing since he is trying to instigate minimum sentences for possession of marijuana instead of for violent crimes or for selling crack. Maybe it's like those extremist paid ministers who publicly denounce homosexuality yet see gay prostitutes on the side? Could it be Harper enjoys the occasional blunt in private? Couldn't be. I still think he should take the amendment on bill C-15 so it passes and we make some progress in the gang war in Vancouver.

Here's the actual video of Harper singing the Beatles at the Gala: www.theglobeandmail.com/news/politics/pm-sings-beatles-classic/article1311369 Ya gotta admit he did a good job and it was nice to see a little more human side to the man with the scary smile.

BTW Harper didn't say he opposed the arts. His reference to how ordinary working people not being able to relate to the rich attending a gala was more an observation that it is hard to rationalize ordinary working people subsidizing and paying for the rich who can afford to pay their own bills to attend a gala. That does kind of make sense. Supporting the arts is one thing subsidizing the rich with working families taxes is another. Kind of like how hosting the Olympics is one thing and subsidizing lavish events for the rich is another. The rich can afford to pay for their own events without using tax dollars.

Will Michael Ignatieff Please shut up

Torries survive Iggy's what about me non confidence motion with backing from the NDP. Jack Layton said he thought it would be irresponsible to call another election when they could get a billion dollars in the hands of tens of thousands of families through EI reform within the next couple of weeks.

In contrast Michael Ignatieff said the unemployed feel totally abandoned by the government and asked "How do I explain to these people that I keep letting this government go on..." Shut the fuck up. You don't give a rat's ass about the unemployed. How do you explain to them that you shafted them out of immediate EI reforms that would put money in their pocket by putting yourself first and calling another stupid election when we just had two.

This guy should clearly get the Idiot of the year award. Harper needs to be nicer to the NDP and work with them on Bill C-15. Take the amendment on Pot and move the motion forward. The NDP need to walk the walk and support the bill with the amendment: www.gangstersout.com/ball.htm

Bob and Doug McKenzie get shot up in Mehico

Gordon Kendall and Jeffry Ivans, two B.C. kids involved in the drug trade got shot up in Mexico. I'm not going to mock their death. On the contrary, I want you to take a look at these two kids. They don't look like gangsters. They look like Bob and Doug McKenzie. Two fun loving Canadians from the Okanagan who like to party. http://www.canada.com/news/killed+Mexico+were+involved+drug+trade+police+confirm/2041210/story.html

They could be your kids. They could be your friends. They are a reminder of the dangers of gangs and the drug trade. Can't you just see these two with a beer in their hand saying "Party up dude." Living it up in Puerto Viarta. "Dude if they could see us now." Well we did and it made our hearts shrink.

A newspaper from Mexico posted some very disturbing pictures of the dead bodies after they were shot up. The first thought that came to mind was that it was tasteless to do so. Yet there's something about watching a death on TV or reading about it in the paper that distances us and disassociates us from the event. Seeing the photos brings it up close and personal.

I was surprised how much blood there was. I thought they were shot not cut up. Yet when people get shot they bleed. Something we only see glimpses of in the movies. Then seeing Gord lying there shot up covered in blood with his eyes open brought it home and made me feel to close his eyes and cover the body with a white sheet. It made me think of the movie Shake Hands with the Devil where the Peacekeeper struggling to protect innocent lives amid a senseless genocide is overcome when the road is covered with dead bodies - men women and children, slaughtered.

Instead of driving over the dead bodies he gets out of his vehicle and starts pulling them off the road and lining the bodies side by side in grave positions. It was a small act of dignity in a senseless sea of violence.

Now if this was Jarrod or Jonathan Bacon or one of the Hells Angels profiting from this drug war, then I would be much less compassionate. It's just seeing their picture drove home to me the fact that this could be our kids, our friends, this could be us. The temptation the money the drug trade brings is real. For me driving around in a Hummer or an Escalade isn't a temptation. I hate those cars. Yet when we see the price of land and the limited wages honest work brings one can see how real the temptation is.

It reminds me of the crack epidemic that swept New York and LA in the /80's. The Crips and the Bloods were networking up the coast all the way to Seattle. A 12 year old kid could go to school and face a life time of working for minimum wage or he could sell crack, wear gold chains and drive around in limo's. The temptation was real but likewise the consequences were often fatal.

Some argue that increasing jail terms will not solve the problem because if these guy's aren't deterred by death, they won't be deterred by jail time. Although there is some merit to that argument we still need to reform our judicial system. House arrest for trafficking cocaine for the Hells Angels is wrong. We are enablers and have thereby become accomplices to these murders.

Let's remember the horrific reality of their death and let us remember that the puppet master is still exploiting these kids and getting off scott free. We need to reform the judicial system and we need to rat out the real rats who profit from this kind of exploitation. Report Hells Angels to Crime Stoppers: 1 800 222 - 8477 (TIPS)

Gang Tattoos

Getting a gang tattoo is about as smart as getting your girlfriend's name tattooed on your arm. Like you're never going to break up. Only your new girlfriend won't shoot your over your old tattoo and you ex won't make you burn your old tattoo off with a blow torch

Another thing to consider is what you want to take pride in representing. Is selling crack or date rape drug really something to brag about? What about Otis Garret and Dave Picton? The Hells Angels deny everything and keep secrets from their own members. They only reveal things on a need to know basis.

Otis Garret was incarcerated for running a Hells Angels prostitution ring in San Fransisco. The woman who testified against him was murdered along with her twin seven year old daughters. There is nothing there to be proud of.

I know a guy who wears Big Red Machine support gear. I asked about them selling crack and he just said he didn't ask about that part of the business. That is bullshit. If you wear support gear you are telling the world that you support selling crack and date rape drug and you support what Otis Garret did because they own a brothel in Amsterdam and Otis is still honoured on Sonny Barger's web site.

To me wearing support gear is like wearing a T-shirt that says I support Clifford Olsen and getting a Hells Angels tattoo is like saying I support Dave Picton. Something they did but deny. Remember Piggy Palace.

Idol Worship

Speaking of the Independent Soldiers, let's take another look at that famous photo of Larry Amero and Randy Naicker that made the front page of the Vancouver Sun. Take at look at the expression on Randy's face. He looks like a kid getting his photo with his favorite hockey player while he wears the teams jersey.

Look at his tattoo. He claims it isn't a gang tattoo, it's just a patented logo for a clothing line. But doesn't that logo look like another famous logo? It's a skull similar to the Hells Angels dead head with the words Independent Soldiers. It looks just like Larry's tattoo. Don't you hate it when a guy copies another guy's tattoo?

There were several comments about the photo. Like "Find a room", "They should be kissing" and "They look like they should be on the cover of the Georgia Straight for a gay add." Look at Randy's hand. He sure looks like he's grabbing a feel of Larry's Delts and upper Pecs and it sure does look like he's getting aroused. Maybe they just put some GHB in his drink to help with the brainwashing.

With all this talk about puppets and puppet clubs, it clearly seems to be what the Hells Angels look for. Clearly the new Independent Soldiers are not independent. Even the police claim they are a puppet group for the Hells Angels.

.

Larry's kind of young. Not a teenager but younger than I had imagined. I wonder if he's a patch over. He's well built but it's doubtful he hasn't done roids. The East Van Hells Angels were caught with roids. Larry seems almost like a nice guy but I wonder if he pays child support on his under the table income or just his taxable income and I'm very concerned with his bacon connections. That just smells bad.

.

Now let's compare idealistic Randy with Mike the hammer Hamersley. His tattoo is nice. It's tasteful, looks good and caries with it a certain amount of originality. Now don't go and get a tattoo just like his. You'd be biting his shit and nobody likes a copycat. Mike seems different. He seems self confident. Smaller guys like Napoleon Dynamite gravitate to him for protection.

Napoleon Dynamite joins K Town IS

Hey now, you're a rock star. This guy's gang sign is a finger and a thumb on his forehead: www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ebuxyxptAo Here's Don McWhirter aka Blaze from Kelowna wearing an IS shirt.

Wait a minute. Take a look at the guy. He's got that really stupid bleached frohawk. That's not very gangster. But that's not all. See that stupid grin on his face? He's bragging about belonging to the Independent Soldiers and showing off his weight set in the background.

You have got to be kidding. If you're gonna show off your weights, put more than 50 pounds on the barbell. Come on. All the other IS guys are buff. That is really embarrassing. He certainly isn't the brawn of the group. Let's just say Don McWhirter is a person of interest.

Jamie Bacon: Scapegoat or criminal mastermind?

Take a look at the three bacon brothers. One's a big awkward guy and the other two are small preps. Dennis Karbovanec plead guilty to participating in the Surrey six murder and implicated Jamie Bacon and others yet Jarrod and Jonathan walk away free, again. Jamie's the younger brother. Did the preps sell out their own brother?

Jared and Jonathan have a host of weapons charges against them and have been the targets of several gang shootings wearing body armour and beefing up their leased cars against gunfire. Hardly innocent responsible citizens.

It certainly would not be surprising to hear that a court convicts Jamie Bacon for being involved in the Surrey Six murders. What is surprising is the thought that Jamie was the mastermind and brothers Jonathon and Jarred were not involved in the planning of that murder. How can the brawn be the mastermind when the brains walk away free?

Then there's the conspiracy theory. Original IS members who were anti Hells Angels have been shot or died in car accidents and replaced with Hells Angel friendly puppets. Isn't that ironic?

The photo of Larry Amero and Randy Naicker on the front page of the Vancouver Sun shows an interesting connection. A Hells Angel with a Bacon Brother Associate. Other than the two innocent lives lost, all the targets in the Surrey Six murder were Red Scorpions. Were the bacon brothers, Dennis and Jamie at least, trying to take over the leadership of that group? The old Red Scorpion leadership, the ones who were shot were friends and associates of the UN. Maybe that's why the UN doesn't like the Bacon Brothers. Where's Larry in all this and Matt the Rat?
.

Were they trying to make the Red Scorpions Hells Angel friendly like the new IS? A plot to muscle the UN out of Surrey and replace them with a puppet club? There's something about puppets and puppet masters that just smells bad.
