Pensioner jailed for attacking Hells Angel - Motorcycle news: Bizarre - Visordown: "PENSIONER has been jailed for 18 months after pleading guilty to causing grievious bodily harm to a member of the Hells Angels motorcycle gang.

Federal prosecutors were in court Tuesday appealing the one-year jail term handed to a member of the Hells Angels who pleaded guilty to conspiracy
Federal prosecutors were in court Tuesday appealing the one-year jail term handed to a member of the Hells Angels who pleaded guilty to conspiracy to traffic in large quantities of methamphetamines and trafficking in cocaine.
Crown counsel Martha Devlin told a three-member panel of the B.C. Court of Appeal that B.C. Supreme Court Justice Peter Leask made four "serious errors" in principle in his sentencing of Randy Potts.
Devlin noted that the B.C. Court of Appeal had in August more than quadrupled the sentence that Leask had imposed on Potts' co-accused John Punko.
The prosecutor said Leask erred in his "piecemeal" approach to sentencing and failed to give enough weight to denunciation and deterrence. "The need for denunciation is particularly pressing in the context of selling vast amounts of drugs such as methamphetamines, which are addictive and recognized as dangerous drugs."

criminally insane
Nom*d was the wickedest, most macarbe and dramatic show I have ever seen. The bleached zombies wandered mindlessly onto an eerie set of crashed cars, white sheets and flickering candles and found themselves lost in a world of nothingness. Perched around a table a few had dinner cackling and erupting in bouts of violence and madness. Girls sad sadly on a white bed, staring blankly into space, a hangman covered in saftey pins tinkered crepily on a piano. A couple made out passionately followed by rowdiness and harrowed cries. A brilliant piece of theatre.

BIkers get attention of authorities | The Republican Eagle | Red Wing, Minnesota: "No arrests were made Saturday after authorities rounded up about 40 suspected motorcycle gang members in Red Wing.

Retaliation Fears After Police-Iron Horsemen Gun Battle - :: Cincinnati news story :: LOCAL 12 WKRC-TV in Cincinnati
Retaliation Fears After Police-Iron Horsemen Gun Battle - :: Cincinnati news story :: LOCAL 12 WKRC-TV in Cincinnati: "Possible retaliation by members of a motorcycle gang lead law enforcement to be more cautious across the Tri-State. The trouble came Saturday night in Camp Washington. That's where two officers were wounded during a shootout with a member of the Iron Horsemen. The gang member was shot to death.
Today, we're learning, while the extra precautions officers are taking now might be valid, the Iron Horsemen are concerned as well, telling Local 12 the alert could be based on dangerously incorrect information.
Rich Jaffe shares the latest information on the story.
The ripple effect of Saturday's police shooting of Harold Seavey, an enforcer for the Iron Horsemen, is growing. The amount of incorrect information circulating is phenomenal, making a dangerous situation even more so. I can tell you that right now law enforcement across the area is extremely nervous, and so are the bikers, because in the next few days hundreds of Iron Horsemen from across the country will head east for Harold Seavey's funeral."

His name is Harold Walter Seavey. He's been living in the East End. He's originally from Portland, Maine.
Local 12's Rich Jaffe spent much of the day talking with Seavey's family and law enforcement.

Investigators in multiple different agencies have been aware of Harold Seavey's presence in the Cincinnati area for quite a while. He's been here for four or five months and has been living most recently in a house on Kellogg Avenue in California. Police searched his residence this morning.
