Prime sub-contractor of the Danbrook One offense is Mr. Owen Patrick Kelly. This man's level of culpability is large. He put men, women, children and babies in lethal jeopardy through his shoddy construction practices. He has no qualms doing this for money, and likely not that much of it.
Kelly mowed down and killed 68-year-old Virginia Dorothy Little in a Brentwood Bay crosswalk in 2011. HERE Kelly wasn't paying attention as he drove his truck through the crosswalk, even though warning lights were flashing.
It was revealed Kelly racked40 Motor Vehicle Act contraventions from 1991 to 2013, including 13 for speeding and 5 for using an electronic device while driving. He racked 4 offenses immediately after killing Virginia Little. Two for speeding and two for using an electronic device while driving.

In 2013 Kelly made headlines when he cried to the press about lack of financial support for his then 11-year old foster daughter with behavioral issues. He and his partner were/are professional foster care providers, catering to as many as half a dozen wards of the state at a time. The couple claimed they were 'suffering in silence' and complained about 'holes in the system', which presumably could only be patched with buckets of public money.
“They only release funding for a three- to six-month period”
Glenn Allen Brooks thought he was being an American hero as he texted selfies of himself at the Capitol riot on January 6 to a chat group of church members. One called the FBI and Brooks was busted.
At least 599 people have been charged in relation to the Capitol riot. It left
five people dead, including a cop.
Mongrel Mob member Joe Edmonds was deported from Australia to New Zealand in 2018. The gangster is called Josef Armani Heart and he wears designer clothes, eats at restaurants and lives in a palatial home in Thailand.
Josef Heart's gold-plated Harley Davidson
Joe Edmonds was sent back to New Zealand after his gang tried to start a new chapter in Perth in 2017. The introduction of '501s' has also brought the Nike Bikie to New Zealand, and poster boy is Josef Heart. Gucci sandals, Rolex watches and infinity pools are on display, not leather vests.
'Mob life my brother.'
The term Nike Bikie was first applied
to Middle Eastern bikers in New South Wales. The most important touch for the new uniform was the Nike Air Max TN.
Footwear isn't the only difference between 'old school' bikers and the Nike Bikie.
William Bottoms Jr., 30, of Greenwell Springs, was found guilty of second-degree murder in the June 2017 shooting deaths of Dedrick Dewayne Williams, 23, and Mohamed Sead Hussain, 29. The paranoid Bottoms was on meth and without provocation shot the two men as they sat in the back seat of a car.
His two life terms run consecutively.
Bottoms' twin brother, Lawrence Bottoms, was fatally shot in Mississippi after he pulled a gun on sheriff's deputies. Lawrence Bottoms was convicted in 2017 of the stabbing death of a teenager with a screwdriver.
“I committed no crime, and if you think I committed a crime, you’re probably really stupid, because you don’t know who I am."
“I am more than willing to go to jail if they want to put me in jail. And if they do, they’re going to suffer the consequences in heaven. I’m not, I didn’t do anything wrong.”
The Chinese call questions "politicized misinformation."
Did the COVID-19 pandemic start with a Chinese lab leak? Research referred to as “gain of function" is common at the Wuhan Institute of Virology and it was performed on pathogen bat viruses at a lab security level on par with a dentist's office.
Adament Chinese denials that a leak occured are falling flat when investigations are not being allowed by the regime.
Experimenting with pathogens to force them to mutate to become more lethal or transmissible to humans is an ethical issue. Nobody can possibly say if the benefits outweigh the risks.
Safety lapses involving avian flu, smallpox, and anthrax point out that leaks are not uncommon.
In 2014 the U.S. put a moratorium on funding gain-of-function research involving influenza, MERS, and SARS.
The moratorium was lifted in 2017.
The Wuhan Institute of Virology has long been tied to the Chinese military.
China’s unwillingness to release information has heightened suspicions that COVID-19 was engineered as a bio-weapon, and started a global pandemic with a leak from the Wuhan lab.
Richard and Margaret Whittemore ran a jewel robbery gang, and their crimes in 1925 and 1926 were front page news across the US. Before Bonnie and Clyde, the Whittemores established the image of the bad boy gangster and his moll. Richard Whittemore, "The Candy Kid," lured flapper Margaret, aka "Tiger Girl," into the high life of crime. Richard Whittemore was a career criminal who escaped from the Maryland state penitentiary on February 20, 1925, after killing a prison guard.
On October 29, 1925, six gunmen hijacked an armored truck en route to the U.S. Federal Reserve. Stopping the truck they killed the driver and the guard and then fled with $93,000 in cash. The robbery made headlines across the country. The gang was eventually caught. Whittemore was convicted on May 21, condemned to death on June 10, and hanged on August 13, 1926. Margaret Whittemore was arrested but never convicted for her roles in any of the crimes. She died at age 90 on April 13, 1993.
Feuding factions of the Gulf Cartel have announced they have reached a truce and want the northern border state of Tamaulipas to live in peace. The state has a 370 km border with Texas, making it a lucrative location for smuggling drugs and migrants.
The Grupo Scorpion, Grupo Metros and Tampico Grupo Rojo factions made the announcement on narco-banners.
The groups have been fighting each other over the past decade in a Coyote turf war. It has fueled high levels of violence in Tamaulipas.
Edgar Valladares, a high-ranking leader within the Gulf Cartel, and his bodyguard, Juan Miguel Lizardi, were found dead in Reynosa. They had been tortured and shot. Valladares ordered an indiscriminate killing in which 25 innocent bystanders including taxi drivers, construction workers, children and a nursing student were killed. Cops have arrested a dozen and killed 4 of the men responsible.
The story of Dutch Schultz's lost Treasure has inspired a movie, books, documentaries, a PBS special, and many treasure hunters looking for loot in the Catskills. People still flock to Phoenicia, looking for lost treasure.
Schultz had ties to the area. He was involved in gambling in Saratoga Springs, and had an aunt who lived nearby. Schultz also hid out from the FBI and IRS just to the south in Saratoga County.
Dutch Schultz (Arthur Flegenheimer) was a New York gangster of the 1930s who made his fortune in bootlegging, loan sharking, the numbers racket, and murder. Schultz became a powerful figure with a reputation for ruthlessness.
Schultz is said to have buried $7m in cash, jewels, and gold in a safe in upstate New York
Launched in 2016, Farm Bank was billed as a way for players to “win as they play, and have fun as they win.”
Farm Bank was a smart phone based pyramid scam that returned over $80m to the app’s founder, 26-year-old Mehmet Aydın. Farm Bank was a shameless pyramid scam.
In less than two years of running the scheme the company collected around $250m. Aydın made off with $80.5m, which he took with him to South America. There, reports captured his pechant for driving exotic cars and living in extreme luxury.
On July 1, 2021, Aydın turned himself in to the Turkish consulate in São Paolo, Brazil.
The Mexican government is raffling off the site of one of Guzmán’s dramatic escapes from cops. El Chapo was naked and asleep with his mistress, Lucero Sanchez, when Mexican marines battered down the front door in 2014. The two ran to the bathroom, and plugged in a cord: causing hydraulics to lift up the bathtub. Concealed below was a web of secret tunnels leading to freedom.
The two-bedroom house in northwestern Mexico is among seven other houses, seven apartments, five lots, a ranch, and a 20-seat viewing box at the Azteca Stadium in Mexico City. They are prizes — confiscated assets from various criminals. Lottery tickets cost 250 pesos ($12.50). Winning tickets will be drawn on Sept. 15.
Oz Olympic kayaker Nathan Baggaley and his younger brother have been jailed for more than 20 years each for trying to smuggle up to $200m worth of cocaine into Australia. Dru Baggaley, 39, and another man picked up 650kg of the drug from a foreign ship. They began throwing the haul overboard on their way back to the mainland when they spotted a Navy patrol boat.
The brothers had extensive criminal histories and both had served time in prison over serious drug-related offences.
Dru Baggaley had spent more than 11 of the past 14 years in jail. He was sentenced to 28 years in jail, with a non-parole period of 16 years, while Nathan Baggaley was handed a 25-year sentence and will be eligible for parole after serving 12 years.
In 2010 American virologist Ralph Baric approached Zhengli Shi. Baric is an expert in coronaviruses and Shi, at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, had been finding them in bat caves.
Chinese work was carried out at biosafety level 2 (BSL-2), a far lower tier than Baric’s BSL-3+.
Baric developed a way to bring a virus to life from its genetic code, and he could mix and match parts of multiple viruses. He wanted to take the “spike” gene and move it into a genetic copy of the SARS virus. The spike molecule lets a coronavirus open a cell and get inside. The resulting chimera would attach to human cells. The chimera (a chimera genome contains genetic material from two strains of virus.) exhibited “robust replication” in humans.
If it had been transmitted like SARS-CoV-2, “we would have had a pandemic with a 10% mortality rate,” Baric said.
Chinese work created enhanced SARS-like viruses, whose risk to humans was unknown. In 2002–03 SARS broke out in China, infecting 8,000. That disease didn’t spread from one person to another until after severe symptoms began to appear, making it easier to corral. 774 people died.
Zhengli Shi the 'Bat Lady'
People should not be looking at bat viruses in BSL-2 labs. Zhengli Shi said she followed Chinese rules. Since the pandemic began, Baric said little about the origins of the virus. In May 2020 he said “speculation about accidental laboratory escape will likely persist, given the large collections of bat virome samples stored in labs in the Wuhan Institute of Virology, the facility’s proximity to the early outbreak, and the operating procedures at the facility.”
SARS-CoV-2's closest known relative at 96% is RATG13, which came from a horseshoe bat.
Ebola cannot spread except through body fluids. If Chinese gain of function experiments change that the world is a far more dangerous place.
Five men were treated in hospital for stab wounds in Cranbrook, B.C., after a fight broke out between two rival OMGs from Alberta.
The two groups were the Hells Angels and the Rebels.
The Rebels MC was founded in 1968 and is centered in Red Deer.
Irish gangster Cornelius Price is staying cool ahead of his UK trial for conspiracy to kidnap which could see him locked up 12 years.
The gangster, whose associates have been caught up in the Drogheda feud and linked to half a dozen murders, is currently free on bail.
Three HA are charged with assault causing bodily harm and breaking and entering after a brutal May 1 home invasion in Langley.
Daniel Patrick MacIver, Derek Robert Nishi, and Antonio Scorda are charged after a 'door kick' in which a man was severely beaten. All three are full-patch, with Nishi and Scorda with the White Rock chapter and
MacIvor a member of the Vancouver chapter.
Nishi is vice-president of the White Rock chapter.
Flavia Tamayo has been jailed for eight years. She was found guilty of dealing drugs and prostitution.
Tamayo, once featured on the cover of Playboy Portugal, was arrested for leading a group of women who provided cocaine, hashish and sex to johns who would pay between $100-$200.
Cops in Brazil said Tamayo was known as the “Powder Queen” and the “Powder Panther.”
When busted by cops, she screamed and took her clothes off.
Playboy Portugal billed her a “true Brazilian beauty."
After winning Miss BumBum Brazil in 2018, she was accused of ass augmentation. She said her bum was natural.
