Oz Hells Angels bikie boss Scott Orrock killed

A Hells Angels bikie boss, who was once the club's National Sergeant at Arms, has died. Scott Orrock was killed on the M4 when his motorcycle collided with a truck. Orrock was the Nomads National President and had been involved in several high profile OMG events.

Orrock got 18 months behind bars for torching a cop vehicle in 2013. Orrock initially pleaded not guilty to destroying the van, telling a jury he only lit the fire to protect himself and his family after he received threats. Orrock's 'patch over' from the Nomads to the Hells Angels in 2012 is one of the reasons the two rival gangs are at war.

Canadian Tire selling fake Chinese masks - 'Canada's Store'

Canadian Tire says it has halted sales of 'medical-grade' masks in its stores. The announcement came after days under withering fire from critics. A spokesperson says the company will instead be donating 160k masks, 164k pairs of gloves and 20k litres of hand sanitizer to health-care workers at hospitals. "Our $3 million product donation"

Canadian Tire (Cambie and 7th, Vancouver) is selling exam masks that offer no level of protection at stupid high prices. These should be sold at reasonable cost, $5-10 to the public. The general manager of the Cambie Street store declined an interview. customerservice@canadiantire.ca lisa.greatrix@cantire.com jane.shaw@cantire.com

The real Henry Hill

Henry Hill Jr. (June 11, 1943 – June 12, 2012) was an American mobster associated with the Lucchese crime family of New York City between 1955 and 1980. In 1980, Hill was arrested on drug charges and became an FBI informant. He testified against his former mafia associates, resulting in 50 convictions, including those of captain Paul Vario and James Burke. He had entered Witness Protection in 1980, but was removed in the early 1990s. Hill's life was documented in the book Wiseguy: Life in a Mafia Family by Nicholas Pileggi which was adapted by Martin Scorsese into the film Goodfellas in 1990. Hill was portrayed by Ray Liotta.

William "Billy Batts" Bentvena was released from prison in 1970. Bentvena saw Tommy DeSimone and jokingly asked him if he still shined shoes. DeSimone leaned over to Hill and Burke and said "I'm gonna kill that fuck." Two weeks later DeSimone pistol-whipped Bentvena. DeSimone screamed, "Shine these fucking shoes!"

The Lufthansa heist was a robbery at John F. Kennedy International Airport on December 11, 1978. $5.8m was stolen, making it the largest cash robbery on American soil at the time. Hill did not directly take part in the heist. Jimmy Burke was given 12 years in prison for the Boston College point shaving scandal and later sentenced to life for murder. Burke died of cancer in prison. Paul Vario died of respiratory failure on November 22, 1988, at age 73 also while in jail.

Henry Hill died of heart disease on June 12, 2012, a day after his 69th birthday.

Major Mexico/US tunnel busted

A haul of drugs being smuggled from Mexico to California was seized from a cross-border tunnel equipped with ventilation, lighting and an underground rail system. The tunnel connected warehouses in Tijuana and San Diego, extending about 610 metres. The raid netted 590 kg of cocaine, 39 kg of methamphetamine, 7.7 kg of heroin, 1 kg of fentanyl and 1,360 kg of pot. No arrests were made. The tunnel had a rail-cart system, forced air ventilation, high voltage electrical cables and panels, an elevator at the tunnel entrance, and a drainage system.

The average depth of the tunnel was 31 feet. The length of more than 14 football fields surprised authorities. It went under several warehouses in San Diego and was beside a section of Trump's wall.

The discovery came a little over two months after a 4,309-foot-long tunnel was found in the same area.

The Mexican Mafia

The Mexican Mafia, also known as La Eme (Spanish for "the M"), is a highly organized Mexican American criminal organization in the United States. Despite its name, the Mexican Mafia did not originate in Mexico and is entirely a U.S. criminal organization. Officials estimate that there are currently around 300 official members of the Mexican Mafia with around 1,000 associates

Black Hand of Death

Members are expected to engage in tests of their loyalty to La eMe, which often includes murder. The penalty for refusing orders or failing to complete an assigned task is often death. Members may also be punished or murdered if they commit any of four major infractions. These include becoming an informant, acts of homosexuality, acts of cowardice, and showing disrespect against fellow gang members. A member of the Mexican Mafia may not be murdered without prior approval by a vote of three members. The murder of non-members requires no formal approval. La eMe is involved in a large variety of criminal activities both inside and outside the prison system.

La eMe has a blood in, blood out credo: Murder or drawing of blood is a prerequisite for membership and anyone trying to get out will be killed. The Mexican Mafia is the controlling organization for almost every Hispanic gang in Southern California. Members of almost all Hispanic gangs in Southern California are obliged under the threat of death to carry out any and all orders from Mexican Mafia members.
