The Hells Angels in B.C. have roots deeper than anywhere in Canada, outside of Quebec. The Haney chapter just celebrated its 25th anniversary, under the watchful eye of plenty of police.

The masked Toronto gunman who killed John Raposo in a Little Italy cafe on Monday in broad daylight wasn’t trying to hit a second man, who caught a bullet in the stomach. Raposo was lucky to dodge a similar murder attempt a few years ago. His close friend Eddie (Hurricane) Melo wasn’t so lucky when a gunman attacked 11 years ago.

John Raposo, who was murdered while watching soccer’s European Championships in an outdoor cafe, wasn’t connected to Luis Manny (Chopper) Raposo, who was shot dead in the Bandido Massacre. But both men were from West Toronto and both men had ties to the Loners Motorcycle Club, although John Raposo was never a member.

Manitoba police try to use peace bonds to curb Hells Angels from hunting down members of the rival Rock Machine.

The Crown has won legal battle over control of Eastern Avenue clubhouse of Downtown Toronto Hells Angels.

Luka Rocco Magnotta, “Butcher of Montreal,” will likely be tried in same Old Montreal courtroom where Maurice (Mom) Boucher faced justice.

Suspicion of crimes was enough for the Berlin Hells Angels to be shut down. Surprising to read there are 1,000 outlaw bikers in the city. Meanwhile, police still haven’t found body they’re hunting for.
