A Hell Of A Party For The Angels

The Hells Angels, the largest outlaw motorcycle gang in the Canada, celebrate their 25th anniversary in BC. Helping to promote the event, the RCMP posted a press release to let everyone in on the time and place.
To celebrate the anniversary, they’re throwing a party in Langley. Bikers from as far away as Sherbrooke, Quebec are dropping by it. Good food, music and a throng of police. Visitors are each greeted by the province’s Integrated Gang Task Force.
It should be a great event with the three chapters – White Rock, Vancouver and Nanaimo – all pitching in. They seem to make a pretty good living off of the drug trade, prostitution, fraud and extortion, so party favors, entertainment and lawyer fees shouldn’t be much of an issue.
There are more Hells Angels per capita in Canada than anywhere else. They even a have a pretty good website – showing that technology hasn’t passed them by. With six chapter sites under construction, they seem to be growing their business despite high gas prices and the slowdown in the economy.
Seems they also make good neighbors:
Kim Paar, who lives nearby, said “I’m sure you don’t hear that very often but this is probably the safest place in Langley to live,” she said.
Another resident, Lisa Pick, agreed.
“We’ve never had any problems with them. I feel so safe living here.”
HELLS ANGELS IN B.C.:
The RCMP estimate that there are 111 members of the gang in the BC, including full-patch members, hangarounds and prospects.

How do they get away with crap like this “Visitors are each greeted by the province’s Integrated Gang Task Force” The RCMP sink lower on a daily basis. If they only go after people who are causing trouble and they sick to the rights given to us under the Canadian Charter Of Rights & Freedoms then so be it. This garbage behavior by the law enforcement agencies in the article is just plain sad.
