Ex-cop angry at views, treatment of Angels
Dear Editor: Ex-cop angry at views, treatment of Angels
Many memories raced through my head seeing the boarded up clubhouse, fenced off and abandoned. My thoughts turned to anger remembering how this clubhouse was the hub and a place to plan peaceful events that poured $$ millions back into the city's economy. The clubhouse had been seized under the B.C. Civil Forfeiture Act of 2007, which is nothing more than legalized theft of personal property.
My anger turned to sadness thinking about Zeke who disappeared in May of '93. It wasn't long for anger to return as I wondered how hard the RCMP are trying to solve Zeke's disappearance.
I'm a former cop who at first bought into the propaganda. Once I exercised critical thinking skills and learned about men like Zeke, I realized how narrow some opinions were and how laws have become one-sided, targeting individuals without cause, but rather because they fit the image police say, are the bad guys.
Contrary to public perception, mostly generated by law enforcement and ignorance, the Hells Angels are a club of motorcycle enthusiasts made up of very normal, law-abiding citizens -- fathers, brothers, a few grandfathers, working and retired, loving family men, who pay their taxes on time.

Slaying of ex-gangster 'payback' - Winnipeg Free Press
Slaying of ex-gangster 'payback' - Winnipeg Free Press: "former Hells Angels associate was shot dead inside his own home in what is believed to be a revenge attack connected with a previous Winnipeg homicide, the Free Press has learned.
'This was a hit,' a justice source familiar with the circumstances of the case told the Free Press late Monday.
The body of Daniel Benjamin Kachkan was found in his residence at 99 Barber St. just after 3 p.m. by his distraught ex-wife, Paddy, who was consoled by other family members who rushed to the home in Point Douglas. Sources say he was likely killed overnight.
Kachkan, 34, used to be a high-ranking member of the Zig Zag Crew, the so-called puppet club of the Hells Angels. He made headlines in 2005 when he was charged with killing fellow Zig Zag member Aaron Hannibal outside an Elmwood 7-Eleven store in broad daylight in what was deemed a violent internal gang dispute.
However, a jury found Kachkan not guilty in 2007 after the Crown had serious problems proving its case. Despite the fact more than a dozen people apparently saw Hannibal get stabbed, none was able to identify Kachkan as the culprit. Many others stayed silent or refused to testify and co-operate with police."
