Remaining Hell's Angels Swept Off the Streets

One hundred and eleven members of the Italian Mafia and the Hell's Angels were arrested in Operation Loquace in Quebec, after the 150 members of the Hell's Angels were already swept off the streets in the HA Biker Mega-trial. 

About 30 Hell's Angels had been released in the Mega-trial, I'm wondering how many of them are now back in custody thanks to this new mass arrest. 

The release of the 30 Hell's Angels members was before one of the deciding Judges in the Mega-trial was found doing drug deals with the defendants, which by the way all major news sites took the report of that corruption down, the only one who kept an article about it is little ol' me.

The list of confiscated contraband gets interesting, 1,486 explosives? That's  new to hear for me.

Quoting the the news report:

"A police news release says a total of $255,000 in cash, 6,000 pills, nine kilograms of cannabis, three kilograms of cocaine, 13 barrels of GBL (a solvent used in creating date rape drugs) and 35 vehicles were seized in today's operation.

Police also seized five residences with a total estimated value of $1.5 million.

Before today, police seized 153 kilograms of cocaine and 46,100 units of methamphetamines, along with 161 guns, 291 prohibited weapons, 1,486 explosives and 50 detonators in a sweep connected to the latest raids."

'Prohibited weapons' would be high powered assault rifles and machine guns to my knowledge.

The  source of the Hell's Angels' cocaine, a Mexican cartel, was dismantled as well.

26 of the investigated gangsters in Operation Loquace are still at large, but it seems they won't have too much of a stronghold in Quebec to operate in any more if they wanted to.

The Hell's Angels Clubhouse "Charter Violation" Easily Solved

HA East End Vancouver Clubhouse, seized as of 2005

The British Columbia Hell's Angels are bringing forth a challenge in court against the BC government, as to the provinces's right to confiscate the already seized three clubhouses. 

They are claiming they are not a criminal organization, so they have rights in the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, that would make the government have to pay to investigate the properties, rather than not having to if the property belonged to a criminal organization. 

This seems like a cheap trick to deter the Crown and the province from continuing the investigation, or a quick out for possible crooked police, judges and politicians.

However, BC politicians like the mayor of Surrey, Dianne Watts, certainly raise the bar for politicians who are good people and uncorrupt, and who stand against organized crime syndicates, like the Hell's Angels, so it is not likely this travesty will fly.

Why is this a travesty? All the government has to do is prove the owners of the property were involved in criminal activity, and as you can see from the picture on this article, the East End clubhouse was full of cocaine, guns and contraband, when the property was seized as of 2005.

That was easy.

Godfathers Documentary: The Italian Mafia Compared to the Hell's Angels

John Gotti, NY Italian Mafia Godfather.

I decided to watch a documentary on the Italian Mafia, to find out more about them. 'Mafia' is an Italian term for 'swagger', and 'La Cosa Nostra' translates to 'our own thing'. I've always found that in comparison to the Hell's Angels, the Mafia are saints. They carry themselves like men and with a sense of respect, they show a lot of restraint, they are honest about their public image, are often Catholic and only commit violence, if ever, if someone is trying to kill them, as a last resort.  Although I do not agree with the crimes they are involved with, in comparison to other gangs, it is like comparing a person who makes mistakes and but keeps a sense of morality, with a person who is like Charles Manson.

I relate the Mafia to financial crimes, gambling, some trafficking and rarely murder. I relate the Hell's Angels to cocaine supplier level drug dealing, child sex slavery, reckless and needless murder, rape, of men women and children, and worshipping the devil. And feel as though I'm not as motivated to pursue the Mafia, in the same way as the Hell's Angels, but in places like murder, you need to. I would give the impression that in the relationship between the HA and the Mafia, the Mafia is the voice of reason, probably regretting having to work with them, given the Hell's Angels brilliant public acts of shameless violence and rape. It should be noted, it seems as if the Mafia in Canada is much more controlled than in Italy, it could be due to the difference in the prison system, as I don't hear too many Mafia members bragging having gone to prison in America, or wanting to go.

Because of their lack of reckless violence and conducting one's self by a code and using restraint, it is better for their organization, and it seems like a natural personality, rather than a fake PR image, like the HA. By first impression, they conduct themselves like men and don't impose themselves on everyday people, and not like weirdo scumb perverts, who in their time were likely 'high as a kite'. Where in this video, in Italy, the Mafia seems to be much more violent and forceful, but it was nice to see how moral the people of Italy are, to gather in emotional support for the mayor.

When I use my computer the brightness is dialled as low as it goes, so if blinking videos annoy you, you can do this too and it is barely noticeable.

Hell's Angels Crime Correlations (Ontario)

The First correlation area is for the region of Ontario, Canada. I am taking my articles (which are based off of news reports and police consensus) and placing marks where certain crimes are occurring, to relate them to where the source of the certain crime could be coming from, this is for anyone even police to reference, under the condition you only report on these things and leave the policing to the authorities. Soon I'm going to make numbers beside the marks to count how many of the certain crimes are occurring in the area.

A few notes, the Hell's Angels are known to work with aboriginal gangs, to move drugs across the border at the great lakes (Huron, Erie and Ontario), by boat.

The rest are busted drug houses and to do with illegal unregistered weapons.

The gang war and murders are related to the Bandidos and Outlaws. 

The Bandidos Shedden Massacre involved an orchestrated effort from HA members all across Ontario, from the furthest red markings, one of the top, in Sutton, Northern Ontario, and the bottom two, in Southern Ontario, as well as 3 in the middle, in the GTA.

Another 3, in Toronto, Port Perry and London, are where the Hell's Angels are currently warring with the Outlaws MC (as of 2012-2013).

​The rest are murders related to the Mafia, and drug turf wars.

The human trafficking cases are related to the previous work the HA did with Hungarians, and the current work they do with the NPF.

​

The financial crimes are related to the gambling rings done with the Mafia, recently taken down by the RCMP.

Thanks to Amazon, vs. Google Adsense.

I decided to write a post about Google Adsense and it's competitor Amazon Associates. I made an effort to turn criminology blogging into a career by putting ads on Gang Tabs, to treat it like a 9-5, after I wasn't accepted by Adsense, I found a ton of people were having the same problem. I searched Google to find another ad supplier, and came across Amazon Associates, from Amazon.com, and they approved Gang Tabs, with the same content Adsense disapproved, and instead of 3 days to get all kinds of complications, then another 3 to try again after refining it, Amazon approved it in one. So, much thanks to Amazon, and if you're not being accepted by Adsense you know who you can try. As well, I was able to choose relevant content, with several options of displaying chosen ad content. Thanks again. :)

Triad King-pin Deportation Trial

Lai Tong Sang, member of the Shui Fong Triad.

The possible head member of the Shui Fong Triad, Lai Tong Sang, has been deported from Vancouver, British Columbia, back to Macau, China.

He was arrested after having a 'contract' put on him by a rival Triad group known as the 14k Triad, evidence which police gathered from a wire-taped phone conversation.

Lai is the suspected "dragon's head" (leader) of the Shui Fong (which translates to the "water room gang"), and his reputation is being of such, from the violent nature of the gang, as well his estate having been shot at in a drive-by shooting in 1997, which was the result of a war for power in the Triads in Macau, that rippled into Vancouver where the Canadian members seize territory.

Lai was wrongfully migrated into Canada in 1996, because of a mistake in an immigration background check. Due to this he doesn't have the legal right to reside in Canada, which was found in court, and he is now to be deported.

Notes:

-The 14K Triads recently went to war with the Shui Fong (Water Room Gang) triads aka Wu On Lok, which Lai Tong Sang belongs to.

-The 4 main Triad groups are the Shui Fong, 14k, Big Circle Boys and Wo Shing Yee

-The Triads major in heroine, the trade is worth roughly $500,000,000

-They are openly colder and more quick to precise violence

-They are equalled to the Hell's Angels, but in a different way, as their coldness seems to push police into doing their job, although they are more openly public about their nature, the police force seems to be less corrupt in the relationship and opposed to the organization at least in Canada. Whereas the Hell's Angels can kill someone in broad daylight and the police will do nothing about it, 100% percent corrupt, unless forced by the public's general expectation to do what is required.

-And people are less motivated to interfere with Triads, due to their cold severity, so less murders are done, at it seems in Canada.

Arrest of a Hell's Angels President Linked to Recent Child Assault

Dale Sweeney, Winnipeg chapter president.

The Hell's Angels Winnipeg chapter president, Dale Sweeney, had an expensive motorcycle confiscated after his arrest for drug trafficking allegations, in relation to an RCMP operation called Project Flatlined.

The title of the operation is likely a reference to the Redliner support club that merged into the Hell's Angels in 1997, this club is also present in Ontario, and I sincerely hope the Redliners days are numbered.

This arrest may be in relation to Dale's brother, Rodney Sweeney, stalking a man and his 14 year old nephew, who suffers from leukaemia, in a van and assaulting them both with a blunt weapon, a few days prior.

The victims may have provided information once in custody, which would be why they were followed in the first place, as this being a random act of violence after being stalked is unlikely.

So far 23 arrests have been made in this investigation, let's hope there are more.
