12160 More than 150 motorcyclists — including members of Hells Angels — flouted police authority Saturday when the group refused to stop at a roadside check on Vancouver Island.
According to Sgt. Lindsey Houghton, police had information that the bikers would participate in a group ride Saturday and set out to conduct safety checks. Police officers from the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit of B.C. and other integrated road safety units then gathered near Duncan to monitor and halt the large group of motorcyclists, who had plans to travel from Nanaimo to Victoria on the Island Highway.
“The bikers, many of whom were observed allegedly ignoring red lights at intersections, speeding, and unsafely passing other vehicles on the road after leaving Nanaimo, were stopped on Highway 1 southbound near the North Cowichan Municipal Hall shortly after 2 p.m.,” Houghton said.
However, the bikers refused to pull into the roadside check area that had been set up and instead, blocked the highway, refusing direction from officers. The showdown ended when outnumbered officers were faced with no choice but to let the group pass. Houghton said police “documented the refusals” and would follow up with appropriate enforcement.
“Seeing a large group of bikers rolling down the highway and through towns can be intimidating for the public and that is their intention — to intimidate,” Houghton said. “Today was yet another example of groups like the Hells Angels thinking they are above the law. CFSEU-BC and its policing partners will continue to monitor events like today’s and ensure the public’s safety by seizing every available and appropriate enforcement opportunity against those involved in organized crime.”

CHECK POINT CHARLIES ARE NAZI LAW IN ACTION. THE GOVT POINTS THE DIRECTION OF A COUNTRY, NOT A BIKER GANG. THE FROGS ARE A COOKING, BUT THEY AINST ON THE CUTTING TABLE…YET
The ways of the world are upon us. We all have our problems. Intimidation from the hells angels are the least of our problems, Our government is a Bigger intimidation,which soon will be dealt with. ThisTyrannical government will soon feel the wrath that is to come, which will come in a surprising manner. The End Is Very Near.
The cops knew the bikers were planning a huge ride through town and they purposely F**Ked with them to show them who’s boss. Americans are quickly learning that cops only bash citizens heads in or shoot them when cops outnumber the citizen 20 to 1. When cops are outnumbered as in this case, they run like sissy’s.
Wait until the little dunkin donut piggys meet the Patriots.
Good. I was hoping the Angels would become politically active again. We need more motorcycle gangs.
The sleeping lion is awakening….
Lets review their bigoted hypocritical attitude and plug a recent police scenario into the meme:
“Seeing a large group of bikers rolling down the highway and through towns can be intimidating for the public and that is their intention — to intimidate,” Houghton said. “Today was yet another example of groups like the Hells Angels thinking they are above the law.
NOW, lets substitute a recent police action into the theme:
“Seeing a large group of para-military boston police thugs, rolling down the parkways through the towns, and pulling people from their houses without warrant can be intimidating for the public; AND THAT IS THEIR INTENTION: TO INTIMIDATE. Today was yet another example of groups like the boston police dept., thinking they are above the law.
phukking po-lice hypocrite-thugs.
HOOAH! for the bikers who defied this illegal po-lice stop and stood their ground!
Mildude, BINGO!
WAIT A MINUTE!
150 bikers? Hell, that ain’t even a good poker run around here!
I like that they stood up for their rights, but 150? OK, so Barney Fife would be pissing hisself! Nobody else would give it a second look.
Hellz ya. I would feel safer with the bikers patrolling my neighborhood then the cops.
The cops are nothing but Soviet style thugs. I trust the Angels more then any cop, anytime, any where. Leave the bike riding citizens alone. All this talk of “profiling” really means nothing. The cops setting up check points like they had in the Soviet bloc; need I say more?
