The sentencing of Norm Cocks and Rob Thomas

The fall of the Kelowna Hells Angels is going to require a book all on it's own and this chapter on the murder of Dain Philips is in itself a Shakespearean tragedy. I took the day off work today for the sentencing of the two Kelowna Hells Angels that pled guilty to murdering Dain Philips in Kelowna. I caught the sunrise at Stanley Park this morning beforehand and it reminded me of my trip to Kelowna for the Britney Irving trial. I have a lot to say about this one.

Norman Cocks looked like a preppy b*tch dressed is a suit with that gay ass gel in his hair. Robert Thomas on the other hand sported the orange prison jump suit and looked like a fat slob. A tragic statement of agreed facts was read out in court which Kim Bolan cited in yesterday's Vancouver Sun. The court accepted the joint submission asking for a 15 year sentence for manslaughter.

The tragedy is that this started off as a petty high school dispute that the Hells Angles had absolutely no business getting involved in. Norman Cocks was friends with a slimy piece of garbage named Daniel McRae. When you look at the picture of the two brothers Daniel and Matthew McRae, they look like scrawny preppy sleazebags. It's no wonder a petty sleazebag like Norm Cocks was close to them.

The McRae brothers didn't get along with Dain Philips' two sons. It's no wonder why. Dain's sons were wholesome, the McRae's were not. So Daniel sleazebag goes and brings his friend Norm Cocks into the dispute. "Don't screw with me, my friends are Hells Angels." A childish thing for anyone to say even a high school student. Well that's exactly what happened. Daniel brought Norm Cocks to intimidate one of the Philips brothers. Norm who is short but much stockier than Dain's son in High School punched Dain's son in the cheek and told him to tell his brother he was looking for him. Norman pointed to his Hells Angels tattoo and used the gang affiliation scare tactic.

No doubt Dain was upset a grown man in his thirties punched his son in the head over a trivial school yard spat. Dain went out looking for Norman and chased him in his car. Norman ran away from Dain. He was scared of him. Dain could have easily taken Norm one on one. This is where I will add an excerpt from the confession video that was shown in the voir dire. I won't add it now because the rest of the trial is still going on. However, when that trial is over I will boldly declare what Norm said that sunk his ship.

Suffice it to say Norm ran away from Dain and came back with Robert Thomas. He was supposed to meet Dain with the McRaes but didn't show up. He needed reinforcements. In the statement of agreed facts it said that Norman lived with his father and with Robert Thomas. Thomas' lawyer assured the court they were just friends and that it was more of a big brother type relationship. They weren't living common law. Norm called Thomas and asked if he was home. No was the reply. He then swore and said he needed him right now.

So after running away from Dain and after not showing up to meet Dain with the McRaes he finally showed up with Robert Thomas along with his father, baseball bats, hammers and the loser brothers. Thomas gets out of the truck holding up a baseball bat and a hammer and repeats three times to Dain So you want to F with the Hells Angels? Dain raises his hands in submission and Thomas cracks him in the leg with the bat. Dain stood strong. Then Thomas hit him again in the leg then in the head with the baseball bat. As Dain goes down, little rat bag weasel Norm Cocks jumps out of the car and hits Dain in the back of the head with a hammer. That's when all the other sorry misfits jump in and kick him to death. Jumping in to kick a guy when he's down is pathetic.

They say circumstances don't make the man they reveal him to himself. This circumstance has revealed Norm Cocks to be a sleazebag weasel. History has recorded that forever not just 15 years. That mark he will carry with himself for the rest of eternities into the after life.

The court read out a profound victim impact statement from Dain's wife. She said there is no parole for her family. They have been sentenced to life without Dain with no eligibility for parole. She went on to describe what an amazing man he was. He was the father of three children and grandfather to many more. She said she had suffered numerous illnesses in her life and he was always there to nurse her through them.

Obviously with the death of a loved one comes unbearable grief. Yet the shining light in this story is the character of Dain Philips and the life he led. Contrasting that to the pathetic lives of the two Hells Angels who murdered him was shocking. Here we had one great moral giant on one side, and two pathetic losers on the other. That is something they each will have to live with forever. Life does not end at death. Those two losers will carry their pathetic life with them into the eternities. That is justice.

Normally at a funeral it is customary to express one's condolences to the family and express remorse for their loss. Yet I am a bit worried about Dain's sons. Their wall of anger surrounding their tower of hate is concerning. No doubt they have experienced a profound loss. Yet they have to get over this small town rivalry. It reminds me of the Hatfields and the McKoys. How a silly rivalry can continue to fester for generations. I've lived in Belfast and in Jerusalem. I've seen the you kill one of ours and we kill one of yours philosophy. It leaves everyone blind.

I'm not saying they have to forgive the people who were responsible for the murder of their father. Not at all. I'm just concerned about the magnitude of their anger. They say anger is a secondary emotion we feel when we've been hurt or are afraid. No doubt they have been deeply hurt. Sorrow would be totally understandable. They clearly did not cause their father's death. The fact that the Hells Angels got involved was absurd.

What if Dain had fought back? What if Dain had stepped back when Thomas swung the bat and stepped forward after it passed? What if Dain disarmed Thomas and kicked his ass? They would have come back with guns and killed him along with his entire family. It was a no win situation. In the movie Gladiator the hero deeply missed his wife and child who were murdered. He had a firm belief that he would one day see them again. His friend agreed but reminded him not yet. Not yet. Dain made the ultimate sacrifice for his family. They need to take the ball and run with it. Peace.



I will add that a $100 victim surcharge is rather astounding. $100 for murder? That's bizarre. No doubt Dain's widow could easily file a civil suit against the Hells Angels for wrong death and sue them for lost wages. That would be a little more appropriate.

CSEC chief lies about breaking the law

Mississauga.com is reporting that John Forster, the head of Canada's eavesdropping agency says a controversial effort to understand airport wireless systems did not breach the privacy of Canadians. In the printed edition of today's Vancouver Province he denied they broke the law. He lied. Again. That's perjury. He should be in jail. The very mandate of the CSEC is illegal. It is mandated to break the law by violating the Charter of Rights.

This is the third recent public lie John Forster has perjured himself over. He previously claimed that the agency is not allowed to ask its allies, including the U.S. National Security Agency, to eavesdrop on Canadians or anyone in Canada, either. But they do! Edward Snowden proved that is a bold face lie. He also lied when he said their activities in Brazil were legal. He should be put directly in jail with Michel Columbe. Arrest them both now. Charge CSIS for Air India as well. That's no conspiracy theory, that's CBC.

Christopher Parsons disagrees with CSEC's position.

February 11th Protest

Dianne Watts is still bullying Barinder Rasode

Well, clicking like on a comment where Alex Alex Tsakumis called Barinder Rasode a whore wasn't enough. Now that Barinder Rasode tried to make the minutes of the police committee public Diane Watts takes over as chair of that committee and crushes any hope for transparency. Finally Dianne Watts' persistent bullying is becoming public. Go Godzilla. Go away. Far Far away.

Remembering Janice Shore

The Surrey Leader is reporting that on February 8th three aboriginal elders will conduct a small ceremony and start a four-day fast at the site of Janice Shore's brutal murder in Surrey. Janice was beaten into a coma December 2nd 2012 and died in hospital February 18th 2013.

Large drug bust on PEI

Operation Clean Sweep in Charlottetown PEI resulted resulted in 40 arrests last Thursday along with the seizure of cocaine, pharmaceutical opiates, methamphetamine and marijuana. Various weapons were also seized including handguns, a rifle, a sword, a machete and a collapsible baton. This is a list of people arrested. No afiliations have been mentioned.



However, one of the guys arrested named Jeff Flynn has close ties to Bacchus and Charlottetown Harley club. He is a Hells Angels supporter. Not a big surprise.







Jeff is part of a "recovery" club.



The sad thing is that Jeff has a really nice young family and that he's no doubt going to take the fall for the people that supplied him. So when he's convicted, the big red machine will continue business as usual.



Tragically, one of the suspects arrested in this sweep is Jarred Dingwell who is the younger brother of Kyle and Dylan Dingwell. Previously we wrote about when Kyle was on a drug binge and was beating the tar out of Dylan again so Dylan pulled out a gun and shot him in self defense. Kyle is on the left in this picture with Jason Yeo in the middle. Jason is the drug dealer charged in that local home invasion. Jason Yeo was also posing in a picture with the son of the president of the Charlottetown Harley Club.

Steven frizzell is another name of suspects arrested. He was at one time kidnapped with Reggie MacDonald. A bunch of guys came over from Moncton and took them for drug debts. They were on their way to be delivered to the Hells Angels in Montreal. They were stopped before they made it to the PEI bridge. Getting people to sell drugs for them is another way the Hells Angels get people to work off their drug debts. It certainly isn't a happy life.

Surrey Fraudster busted in North Vancouver

The Surrey Now is reporting that a Surrey man has been busted in connection with a “significant forgery lab” where more than 500 potential victims have been identified in the bags of stolen mail seized by police. Forgery equipment was also seized. Benjamin Best, 27, of Surrey has been charged with personation.

Police also seized passports, drivers licences, SIN cards, credit cards from the van, as well as a “robbery kit” containing handcuffs, knives, zap straps, a balaclava and pepper spray. The investigation revealed the stolen property came from robberies, break and enters, theft from vehicles and mailbox thefts from various communities in the Lower Mainland.

It's another example of a prolific offender. How one criminal can be responsible for a huge amount of crime. Another timely concern given Canada Post's unilateral decision to take everyone off door to door delivery and put them on mailboxes. The security of the Queens mail so to speak is indeed put into question. Do the public have a say or not?

Murder does not pay

The recent conviction of two Kelowna Hells Angels for the murder of Daine Philips is a prime example of how murder does not pay. Two Hells Angels get caught murdering someone and what happens? The club turns their back on them rightfully so. It was pointless. The East Vancouver chapter was even accused of offering $5,000 to anyone who would beat their ass in prison. The other example is Joey Verma. Do you think anyone respects Joey for shooting a girl in the back? Nope. Do you think he has the backing of the person who got him to do the hit? Nope. He's screwed for life. It wasn't worth it.

There are four other examples too. Yves "Apache" Trudeau was a hitman for the Hells Angels. He turned informant. Why? Because the Hells Angels screwed him over like everyone else they do business with. They wiped out his chapter in the Lennoxville Massacre. He was missed because he was smart enough not to accept their invitation to a party. Had he showed up, they would have killed him too. That's gratitude for you. That's when he became an informant.

It's just like the Vancouver Christmas of 1995. The Hells Angels hired the murder of a police informant that caused a drug bust in their East Vancouver crack operation. They instructed the guy they hired to kill him and his wife to kill his co accused after they killed the couple. There was no loyalty or gratitude there. Just greed and betrayal. That's why Hells Angels hitmen flip. Because the club shafts them. Just like Gerald Gallant and Danny Kane.

People can argue about the death penalty until the cows come home. People can argue about locking someone up for 30 years or 300 years for murder. My point is preemptive. Murdering an innocent civilian or for greed is heinous. There is no honour in it. It just isn't worth it so don't do it.

Laura Szendrei murderer named

The publication ban has finally been lifted on Laura Szendrei's murderer. Twenty-one-year-old Wyatt DeBruin pleaded guilty to killing 15 year old Laura Szendrei in a park in North Delta in September 2010. He was sentenced last fall to life in prison. All the bs around this case is really upsetting. Seven years is not life. The guy murdered an innocent young girl. He should be named and face the consequence of that heinous act. Murder involving a sexual assault is first degree murder not second degree. Robert Ley should be fired and Dr. Paul Janke should be put in charge.

Jimi Sandhu charged in Red Scorpion murder

CBC is reporting that Jimi Sandhu has been charged with second degree murder in the Abbostford stabbing of Red Scorpion Matthew Campbell. The Vancouver Province is reporting that Jimi POS Sandhu was charged in the January 10th kidnapping of a mom and two male teenagers.

Dennis Rodman is a traitor

Dennis Rodman is a traitor. So is Stephen Harper. MSN News is reporting that Dennis Rodman claims he is not a traitor over his support and involvement with North Korea. Yes he is. That's exactly what he is. Let's be clear that Rodman is not on a mission promoting world peace. He's doing the exact opposite. He's running interference for a Communist Dictator that has threatened to nuke the United States.

The only thing holding back that lunatic from carrying out his threat is the fact that he doesn't have the technology to do it. Something Stephen Harper is trying to rectify by selling China nuclear reactors and giving China our oil rights. Every time we get gouged at the gas pumps we are supporting China's military expansion which goes directly to help North Korea.

Kim Jong-Un, the dictator of North Korea recently executed his own uncle as well as his entire family to eliminate any and all political opposition to his tyranny. There is no civil liberty in North Korea. North Korea's human rights violations are shocking. Rodman's fraternizing with the enemy is supporting the abandonment of civil liberty. If that's not treason, I don't know what is.

Kim's uncle was stripped naked and eaten by hungry dogs. That is barbaric. Rodman is supporting that as well as Kim forcing woman and children to watch public executions that trample civil liberty. Traitor is too kind a word for Rodman.

Canada supported South Korea in repelling the Communist invaders backed by China. We were right to do so. We were wrong for not supporting Vietnam. That mistake is something we carry with us. Canada was right for not invading Iraq. Bush said Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. They did not. They weren't just wrong, they lied. Kim and the atrocities of North Korea are far worse than Saddam Husein or the Taliban put together. Oh but wait, there's no oil in North Korea so the Corporate Communists don't care. Just like Rwanda.



I just noticed Laila Yuile has posted the second installment in a three part series on China's human rights violations called Playing with the Dragon II – The architects behind Canada’s China policy. It's very timely with this new act of treason disguised as a trade agreement called FIPA.
