13 Quebec Hells Angels pleaded guilty to murder and murder conspiracy and it hardly made a ripple in the news. Is the public weary of those stories out of Quebec? Is it expected so it’s hardly news? The real story here seems to be that 22 murder charges were dropped and the killers’ sentences were cut in half.

A day after officers in balaclavas and bullet-proof vests raided the Kelowna Hells Angels, RCMP announce they’ve charged the charter’s vice president with a variety of drug offences relating to an international trafficking network. Police say the 20-month operation involved undercover world in Panama, Mexico and other parts of Canada.

Police wearing balaclavas and bullet-proof vests raided the Hells Angels’ clubhouse in Kelowna, B.C., leaving with bags full of evidence. There were plenty of out-of-town police present. The clubhouse was apparently empty at the time of the raid and there were no reported arrests. More details expected Monday.

Quebec police don’t plan to dive waters under Jacques-Cartier Bridge by Montreal in search of hundreds of murder weapons. There have been widespread arrests in the crimes and the river’s currents may have moved the gun.

The water levels have gone up in the St. Lawrence. Global warming? Changes in Eastern Canadian river drainage patterns? Or Hells Angels dumping murder weapons, knowing it will be easy to find new ones the next time they get the urge to fire in anger or for business. Perhaps the most interesting part of this leaked report is that three Hells Angels agreed to talk with academics for this report.

I thought when I started reading this article that it would end with a big police operation against the Texas Bandidos going into the ditch. Not so. The bust stuck and the Harleys of  Papa John Pena Medellin and his buds will be riderless for the forseeable future.

Heroin is replacing Oxycontin after the drug is pulled from drug store shelves. Family of Peterborough Bob Pammett, formerly of the Bandidos, among those busted in Eastern Ontario drug bust. “We went from hillbilly heroin to heroin proper,” Peterborough Police Chief says. Twenty-nine arrests this week in the Oshawa-Peterborough area show involvement of Hells Angels and some former Bandidos in alleged trafficking ring.

Retaliation expected after pair of street gang murders in Montreal. Underworld violence heats up in Montreal as count-down to Vito Rizzuto’s return from prison steps up.

There’s a move afoot to unite black street gangs in Montreal under a Hells Angels banner. Days after gang leader “Big” Chenier Dupuy rejected the offer, he was shot dead.

Shawn Campbell, a full patch Hells Angel from Oshawa and the son of Bernie (The Frog) Guindon has been caught in a police sweep in the Oshawa-Peterborough area. Guindon’s son’s name? Harley. Bernie Guindon kick-started the Satan’s Choice in the 1960s and then was in the Hells Angels after the mass patch-over of 2000, before retiring in good standing. Here’s the full list of people charged.
