shootings may escalate

From previous page

younger menzbers of the
Bandidos is that they are
going to have to fight the
Hells Angels sooner or later
so they might as well get their
alliances together and do it
now before they become even
more powerful. It is either
that or acquiesce. And that's
Not an option. The Bandits
are the stcond largest outlaw
motorcycle gang in the world

and control the lion's share of

the methamphetamine trade.

Currently, their closest chapter

to Vancouver is in Ferndale,
Washington, a +5-minute
drive.

RCMP Sgt. J.P. Levesque,
biker intelligence expert for
Criminal Intelligence Services
Canada said, “We know thar
the Hells Angels in Canada
want nothing to do with
peace with the Rock Machine.

“They want to get rid of
them and that’s the end of it.
Before, the war was mainly
isolated to Quebec, but now

Ifthe spate of drive-by
shootings in our city has had
you nervous, vou ain't seen
nothin’ yer. And all of this
was supposed to have been
prevented with then-Justice
Minister, Allan Rock’s anti-
gang legislation, Bill C-95,
which thus far has not yielded
a single successful prosecu-
tion.

C-95 was enacted in 1997,

Value of a few dollars is relative

Dear Editor:

According to the report in
your issue of July 28, the
North Vancouver City mayor
said that people should nat
“crv” for a few dollars here
and there to help TransLink,

What may seem a few dol-
lars to the mayor amounts fo a
lot to the ordinary hard-work-

ing people: out of every S100
earned, almost $400 goes
towards various Caves, As it is,
the people are already subsi-
dizing the Translink through
fuel tax, property tax and
Hydro levy; they feet that
enough is cnough, and are
not going to take it any more.

The mayors and council-
