A 14-year-old boy was injured last week when his home was sprayed with gunfire in a suspected biker turf dispute in Winnipeg. It sounds trite, but as long as people are willing to pay good money for illegal drugs, someone will be there to sell them. Drug dealing in Montreal didn’t end with Mom Boucher and Vito Rizzuto taken off the streets. Now that the Hells Angels have been weakened in Winnipeg, the new Rock Machine is moving to fill some of the void in supplying the market. Paying informants makes short-term sense, but in the long run, all it does is shuffle the deck. No one paying for drugs can pretend they’re not involved in the violence.
