Timothy H. Holland tells B.C. to 'kiss my ass' after stealing timber

Timothy Holland, dba Bigfoot Forest Products was granted a licence in 2016 to harvest damaged timber in a section of the Great Bear Rainforest in the territory of the Wei Wai Kum First Nation. On Oct. 6, 2020, Holland was ordered to stop work after the Ministry of Forests found that most of Holland’s harvest sites were outside his licence area. In six of those sites, standing trees were felled. He left threatening text and voice messages with ministry staff after being busted.

Holland did not defend himself but he had a message — “kiss my ass”.

Holland has been hit with a $132k fine for illegal harvesting after initially being fined $12k, far less than the timber was worth. The commission found Holland "directed his employees to cut and remove timber outside of his authorized area, and did so deliberately and repeatedly.” The Great Bear Rainforest is the world’s largest intact temperate rainforest and stretches from the northern tip of Vancouver Island to the Alaska border. The illegal logging took place in Loughborough Inlet, about 50 km north of Campbell River.

Mongols, Outlaws clash in Chicago

On Nov. 6, four Outlaws and a member of the Mongol Nation MC were shot at a bar where the Mongols were celebrating a birthday. As many as 20 Outlaws walked into the bar at 5147 S. Archer Ave. looking for payback for a shooting last year, during a brawl with the Mongols in Berwyn. Most of the bikers who were shot Nov. 6 weren’t seriously injured, but an Outlaws member was left in critical condition after being shot in the chest. Bikers haven’t cooperated with cops and there are no arrests. Based in California, Mongols arrived in Chicago in the past few years, antagonizing Outlaws, who consider the city their turf.

Before the 2021 shooting in Berwyn, the Mongols paraded their motorcycles around the Outlaws’ South Side fortress in an act of provocation. The Outlaws and Mongols shared dislike for the Hells Angels helped them form a loose alliance at times. That is over in Chicago and cops expect more conflict. Though Mongols have been wearing their colours in Chicago, they apparently haven’t established a clubhouse in the city.
