She is mixed up in it because she is a family member of several Haney Hell's Angels members. She grew up in this lifestyle. The liklihood that she was not going to be involved was slim. She was not some random bimbo that fell into this stuff.

If she's an active player in the game, then she should be fair game.

Daddy/uncle or whoever would not have taken her to such a "meeting" if she wasn't involved in their operations, would they? If I were one of them, I'd keep my children, nieces and nephews the hell away from those things.

Here is your handy pocket guide to the gangs of Metro Vancouver:

Red Scorpions

A violent drug-trafficking criminal organization, the Red Scorpions gang was formed about 2000, allegedly by Quang Vinh Le while he was incarcerated in Willingdon Youth Detention Centre.

Le was beaten by a group of Korean youths. In response, he called in more than 20 friends to help him in an attack that resulted in victim Richard Jung’s death. Le was originally convicted of second-degree murder in the death, but won a new trial on appeal, then pleaded guilty to manslaughter.

Some of those also convicted went on to join the multi-ethnic street gang whose members sport scorpion tattoos and are involved in drug trafficking in Coquitlam and other Lower Mainland suburbs.

Among them was Eddie Narong, who also pleaded guilty to Jung’s manslaughter. Narong testified against some of his co-accused. Narong, 22, would die in the infamous Surrey Six murders allegedly committed by members of the Red Scorpions on Oct. 19, 2007, when six men were shot to death in a Surrey highrise. Two were uninvolved bystanders.

The Bacon brothers of Abbotsford rose to prominence in this gang with the eldest, Jonathan — killed this weekend in Kelowna — being identified as its leader. Jonathan was awaiting trial for drugs and weapons offences. In 2006, he was shot several times while in his parents’ driveway.

Jarrod Bacon is facing a number of drug charges.

The Red Scorpions have been involved in a long-standing war with the United Nations gang.

The United Nations Gang

The United Nations is another multi-ethnic gang. Police believe it was founded in the late 1990s by Clay Roueche, 35, of Chilliwack from among his high school friends. It developed a rigid organizational structure like the Hells Angels.

The gang has also made enemies of the Hells Angels and Independent Soldiers.

Roueche is serving a 30-year sentence in the United States for smuggling marijuana and cocaine across the border.

With Roueche in jail, Conor D’Monte, 33, an original member of the gang, was identified by police as leader of the UN. D’Monte is a fugitive after being charged in January with the 2009 first-degree murder of Red Scorpion member Kevin LeClair.

Charged with him is purported hit man Cory Vallee, 34, who has also fled.

These two, along with six others linked to the UN gang, are also charged with plotting to kill the Bacon brothers and their associates.

Independent Soldiers

This the newest of the major street gangs, formed about six years ago from mostly young Indo-Canadian males involved in the drug trade. Its roots go back to the notorious Bindy Johal, who was killed on the dance floor of a Vancouver nightclub in 1998. The gang has spread from Vancouver, with members operating in Kelowna and Calgary. It is believed to have developed links with the Hells Angels.

Hells Angels

While the likes of the Red Scorpions, the Independent Soldiers and the UN are referred to as mid-level players, police consider the Hells Angels a top-echelon criminal organization, seen in the same light as the Mafia and the Big Circle gang.

The Hells Angels have a highly structured hierarchy, with full-patch members at the top. Below are prospects, hang­arounds, official friends and associates working their way through the ranks.

The organization today has hundreds of chapters in more than 20 countries. It has a number of established clubs in the Lower Mainland and a number of puppet clubs such as the Prince George-based Renegades. However, new biker clubs linked to the Hells Angels have been sprouting up all over the province recently, from Campbell River to Fort St. John, as the gang seeks to maintain its status.

Yeah, we Internet board geeks are going to drive by your house in the middle of the night and shoot you full of holes.

Here's a novel idea. If you don't want people talking badly about you in life and in death, then don't be a criminal. Or does that not suit your nature?

Again, why do you have no problem with people talking smack about Osama bin Laden post mortem, but not Johnny Bacon? They're both criminals who have done bad things in their lives and victimized others.

More and more, I'm getting to think that you do have some personal connection to the guy. Or to his friends and/or relatives. You say you're not sympathetic of the guy himself, but it sure seems like you have some feelings for those closely connected to him who may be offended or hurt by some of the things said about him here.

Again, feel free to practice what you preach and show us the gutsy manly way in revealing your full identity when you're going to bad mouth others, whether they're gangsters or those anonymously talking smack about others over the Internet.

Actually, you have - the nameless masses of people who do not want these idiotic shootings, ranging from those who write letters to the editor, to those living houses down from where a gang shooting takes place, to those on the online community.

ps: thought you were done with this thread. what made you come crawling back?

What a great thread, between Meganuck getting owned, and Wetcoaster educating us all, it's been a great diversion.

Agree with the incompetence of the RCMP, but I'd rather have gangs than the FBI and their overarching powers.

Great post Wetcoaster, is the Gentile family still active?

Anyway a lot of the Park gang members of that era went on to eventually become Hells Angels or major associates. The HA were appealing as aside from the iconic notoriety they were the only means at that time that allowed for a guy who didn't come up in exclusive Mob circles to hit the big time in Canadian crime.

These days however, the HA are similarily seen as a selective closed group where only a handful of members really benefit, which is a major reason why we're seeing all these new gangs proliferate. The HA have responded by building up gangs of their own, or taking over existing ones. However that comes with its own problems as with all the extra muscle and guns they run the risk losing control of it, as has happened in Montreal with many of the Haitian gangs they used to control.
