Hot Winnipeg summer

I was interviewed today by CBC-TV in Winnipeg about tensions between the new Rock Machine and the Hells Angels. I wish I had something optimistic to say, but I can only see things getting worse for the  next while. As long as people are willing to buy illegal drugs, there will be someone to sell them. And someone else willing to use violence to take over the role as seller. Police were able to severely curb the local Hells Angels, but that only opened the door for others eager to take their drug routes.

    I didn’t get the rest of your message. It stopped at “.. in Winnipeg are in…” Can you email me at pedwards@thestar.ca?
    Cheers

    I wonder what, if any, influence the Sherbrooke chapter has. They’re the most stable and powerful one in Quebec and they have had a hand into a huge amount of the expansion outside of Quebec.

    Also, just because someone’s behind bars doesn’t mean they can’t still have influence.
