The Gangs of Vancouver, British Columbia Part 1
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 ก.ย. 2024
- NOTE: Everything presented in this video is based on publicly available information and this video is intended to be a general overview of some of the criminal organizations in Vancouver.
In this video I cover some of the major gangs and crime figures that have become a part of Vancouver's history. There are hours upon hours of content on this subject out there, and this is just intended to be a general overview without going into too many details. This is also part 1 of a 3 part video series on this subject - I will be posting part 2 and 3 over the next several weeks.
As a quick side note - the topic of gangs is a complicated one. Obviously criminal organizations have done many terrible things. But not everyone who is in a gang or similar group is a bad person (although many are), and the vast majority of crimes are caused by people who are not in gangs. Additionally, most gang activity supports the illegal habits of everyday people - it is not solely the gangs themselves that are responsible for their existence. Definitely a complex issue, but it seems like gang activity south of the border gets all the press and so I wanted to do a couple videos outlining the different gangs and criminal organizations in and around the city of Vancouver, BC.
In this video I cover the following gangs and criminal groups/figures:
Bindy Johal
Ron + Jimmy Dosanjh
The Punjabi Mafia
Gurmit Dhak
Dhak-Duhre Group
United Nations gang
Independent Soldiers
Red Scorpions
Buttar Gang
This video is a broad overview and I don't go into massive detail on the gangs. I may do more videos down the road that explore individual topics within this video in more detail. I am also doing a gangs of Vancouver part 2 video in a couple weeks.
I hope you found this one interesting and informative, and if you'd like to watch more of my content in general please consider subscribing to my channel - I upload at least one new video per week.
Thanks for watching!
bro love this one, you've got a good neutral vibe and you're genuine and respectful. You've got a lot of fans in Toronto, peace
I appreciate the support and I'm glad people are getting some value out of the videos - cheers mate!
a very psychological perspective on the cause and effects of the lifestyle. Not many journalists/youtubers are able to admit that its more of an environmental problem. Good for you man. I appreciate and respect your open mind and intellectual approach to the topic.
I appreciate it, tricky subject and trying to stay balanced while treading carefully. Glad people are getting value out of this one. Cheers mate
Bro, lived through it from the Surrey side, it was an open war. Kids home from school and walking the dog at 4:30pm……. Two cars chasing each other through the hood spraying shots everywhere a monthly occurrence that year. Lots of mistaken identities and innocents hit. Must say that was a time in Vancity at the peak of the build up to 2010 Olympics, everyone had a good paying job and money for $excess$ and the attitude they comes with it. Also this was just before the fentanyl body count started.
Ya I know Winnipeg has had a deservedly bad rep for a long time but there has been a cpl times I thought to my self"damn Surreys hard eh" much love homie
Well done, there’s enough out there to do a series on this..
The turban gang
Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate when people take the time to comment - yeah Vancouver has a pretty wild gang history and a lot of people just have no idea about it. Glad it's calmed down a bit since 2009 but I'm aware there are still issues. Cheers mate, have a great week!
I was closely related to some of these dumbasses. Trust me, their goals were never in the benefit of their kin.
this was so well produced and written! thank you for taking the time to walk us through that. I have no idea!
Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate when people take the time to comment - I'm very new to video production/TH-cam and I still can't believe anyone is watching my little videos but I'm glad they're providing value to people out there. Cheers mate!
You're doing a great job!!! I've been investigating some dark things since 2021, briefly shared some of it on TH-cam, so I know how much time and effort it takes, and how difficult it can be to compile complex information. You're doing a better job than I ever did!!!
@@rcgmig That means a lot, but I disagree - I checked out your channel and I think you guys should keep making videos! You're a natural on camera and you have a great speaking voice, I look like Donald Sutherland with AIDS on no sleep and I hate being on camera lmao. I bet your channel would really take off if you kept going, just my opinion. I appreciate the support though, started this channel a year ago with zero experience (not even on social media before) and I'm blown away by how fast it's growing. Cheers!
Thank you for covering the red scorpions. My friend was one of the 3 founders and he was murdered a few years back. I’ll never forget the time he had my back. Rest easy bro
Thanks for watching, Vancouver definitely has an interesting gang history. All the best, cheers
Great stuff.
I remember we had a former high-ranking gang member at our school who said:
"Without exception, anyone into gang life cannot gain respect the hard (genuine) way, so they try to earn respect the "easy" way, which means they have in fact zero self-respect and zero genuine/sober respect from others, even if they think they do. There is nothing cool about being a mentally-unstable man-child in denial, with no self-control, no lasting or positive contribution, and therefore no real worth in conducting gang activity. That is not strength. That is weakness. They might try to argue with this or ignore or dismiss this, either within themselves or with others, but this only builds on the delusion. What is actually cool is doing what is right, even though it is difficult."
This person opened my eyes back then, and everything I've seen and experienced has proved this to be 100% true.
Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate when people take the time to comment - fair points, and gang life just rarely ends well for those involved. Cheers mate
The worlds only black Hells Angel came from the east end of Vancouver his name Mike Mitchell… The Satan‘s angels would not let the Hells angels come in to British Columbia unless Mike was allowed to become a member. Mike died of a heart attack at work five or six years ago. also his mother Margaret Mitchell was a federal MP for Mount Pleasant for close to 30 years.. The most violent pub in British Columbia 1970 to 1975 was the Biltmore hotel it was the drinking place for all the East End Street gangs..In the 50s 60s 70s Mount Pleasant was the poorest most violent place in Canada.. it was very very cool growing up in the East End of Vancouver…$3.00..For a ticket to see a concert all the greatest bands in the world came through Vancouver
$2.00 some LSD…and later beer for 20 cents a glass…17 years old…sex drugs and rock and roll..good to go..peace
Bunch of idiots acting like men but have NO IDEA HOW
@@BuckrBill Greg Woolley?
I lived in mount pleasant since early 2000s did not know it was violent and poorest neighbourhood in Canada
I was working as a Loss Prevention manager at the Bay at Metrotown when Gurmit Dhak was killed outside (between us and Sears). We locked the doors and closed the store. There was also a shooting outside the Bay downtown I was previously a manager at a few years earlier of Ricardo Scarpino as they were leaving Gotham restaurant. It was his engagement and his girlfriend in the car was wearing a tiara. Police took the video. With her in it the footage it looked sort of fake, like made for Hollywood.
i love how detailed his research goes. I learned some new things about this subject.
Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate when people take the time to comment - still can't believe anyone is watching my little videos but I'm glad they're providing value to people out there. Cheers mate!
Metrotown Mall has to be statistically one of the most dangerous public areas in Canada
Fair point, that area has definitely seen some action. Cheers mate
Well thats silly we have a few teenagers that misbehave but its not dangerous
You have no idea what you're talking about. Metro town had some crime in the past but it's completely cleaned up. Post a link to show that I'm wrong. There's condos all over the place there now and it's gentrified up the Yin yang.
@@castermancanada Do your research. There’s a laundry list of gang activity and homicide that’s happened there
@@Joe-mz6dc lol YOU have no idea what you’re on about. Spend 5 minutes in the parking lot on the Kingsway side and someone will try to sell you drugs, but that’s not even what I’m referring to. Educate yourself about it’s violent history you’ll be surprised.
Hopefully you cover the era of the park gangs like Clark Parkers. Essential history documented in the book The Last Gang In Town by Aaron Chapman. Peace!
Don't forget the Bobolink's. Long time rivals of the Clark Park gang.
@@daisydomergue9047 interesting, got any recommendations for more info on that gang?
Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate when people take the time to comment - I'm definitely going to get into a lot more of the gang history in the part 2 video. Vancouver has a really complex gang history as you know. Cheers mate, have a great week!
Yup
Even before back in the fifties and early sixties, there was the Riley Clark gang and the Hells Angels
@@keithjohnstone8506 Not the Hell's Angels. They didn't arrive on the West coast until 1983. I think you mean Satan's Angels, which was the big biker gang in B.C until they joined the Angels in 83.
Your intro is amazingly insightful insightful. Great video!
I appreciate it, thanks for watching!
I am an American that always had an affinity for Canada, so much I am actually writing a comic about Canadian superheroes. You deserve a sub since well. I want to portray Canada as Canada and that means warts and all and this channel clearly is very just the facts. Appreciate your effort
Thanks for watching, glad you're getting some value out of the videos. I love the idea of a comic about Canadian superheroes - you could almost make one for every province and territory! Cheers mate
Good luck with your comic! I wish you success and good fortune with your project!
Wow, this was so good. Can't wait for part 2
I appreciate it, thanks for watching!
"I'm still around." - Bindy Johal
nah! You are wormfood. and even they think you taste lousy
Cover the lesser known gangs of Vancouver in the 90s. That would make an interesting video. When I was in high school we had the V.C. Viet Chen a mix of Chinese and Vietnamese. There was a gang assassination at Kohls barbers on Victoria drive I would be interested to know what that was about like which gangs were involved.
Had a Viet rest. on Kingsway off of Joyce and several of our Japanese student friends were there when the gang took the place over, taking their credit cards and cash. Undercover knew exactly who they were.
The Triads were involved in a Covert way in Vancouver
Not covert if you gamble
Triads may have went and got the gambling whales in Macau China... But where do you think they got the Canadian dollars to wash in the Casinos
It didn't come from fentynal sales imagine 5 billion in fentynal on Canadian streets.😂
It came from the decades and decades upon decades of grow ops in Vancouver and what was the backbone of smalltown BC
The people who ran that and the Port of Vancouver is the Hells Angels
The triads are just good at making those connections with criminal organizations around the world.
And staying under the radar
👇
Alleged Canadian drug lord dubbed ‘Asia’s El Chapo’ arrested in Amsterdam
They allege Sam Gor factories are based in areas with deep governance problems like the Golden Triangle, centred on the borders of Myanmar, Thailand and Laos, and protected by private militias.
Tse - whose aliases include Tse Chi Lap, Brother No. 3, Sam Gor, T1, Ah Lap, Dennis and Xie Zii - has maintained an extremely low profile.
Sam Gor is Cantonese for one of Tse’s nicknames, “Brother No. 3.”
Tse was born in Guangzhou in 1963 and immigrated in 1988 to Toronto, where he was part of a criminal group known as the Big Circle Boys.
Tse was imprisoned in the U.S. from 1997 to 2006 for heroin trafficking after being arrested with some senior members of the Montreal-based Rizzuto Mafia family, which had representatives in the GTA.
Among those convicted with Tse were Emanuel Raguso, an inlaw of Montreal Mafia boss Vito Rizzuto, who died in 2013, and Salvatore (Sam) Nicolucci, a close Rizzuto associate who also served prison time for cocaine trafficking.
Tse spent most of his prison time in Elkton, Ohio, and then returned to Canada. He was back in Hong Kong by 2011
Toronto Star
BTW you don't have to be covert if the authorities can't nail the people they go after for money laundering
That's because their focus is on the Macau gambling whales when they can prove. How they made their money. Thus there is no law against them making a transfer from their account to some triad account in China
While China has a 50 thousand USD a year cap on how much a individual can take out of the country each year
Our Canadian banks have argued they do not have to follow Chinese laws. And our Canadian Courts have agreed and ruled in favor of this
Where once again our law inforcement is took stooopid to go after the criminal organizations here in Canada and specifically where that cash came from.
Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate when people take the time to comment - fair point, and I'm going to cover more stuff in the part 2 video down the road. It's actually more complicated posting these gang videos than you might expect. Wild world out there. Cheers mate, have a great week!
the Big Circle Boys were here before the Taiwanese wave of the mid-eighties and the T. Sq. fiasco got mainland Chinese kids SUDDENLY claiming "refugee" status. My wife from Beijing already had her Masters from Japan, so she did it the normal way: married ME.
I used to hang out with a guy who got burned alive in his car in Abbotsford and his girlfriend got shot in the head the same day in her apartment in 2007ish, I hadn’t hung out with them since early 2000s but he got caught up with the red scorpions I heard and it killed em. Kinda blew my mind.
Bobby da georgio
Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate when people take the time to comment - damn, that's brutal dude. Vancouver has a pretty wild gang history and a lot of people just have no idea. Cheers mate, have a great week!
Talking bout Bobby I’m assuming.
jeez. wonder why they'd do them so bad
Two in Abbotsford the were about to finish High School were found in a gravel pit burnt in their car. Ripped off the Scorpions?? Don't do it.
Excellent video! For part 2, you may want mention the East End chapter of the Hells Angels, which is the richest Angel chapter in Canada. And you want to mention Michael Plante, the informer who took down a lot of the East End guys. The book Hell To Pay by Neal Hall is about Plante and has lots of photos
Didn't know the East End chapter were the riches chapter in Canada. Now too long-ago HA lost three of their clubhouses in BC.
@@skgord1 Yes, I have heard about it. The Hell's Angels run the port of Vancouver. Most of the East End guys work for the port of Vancouver, so the Angels are the top dogs in drug smuggling. That is why the East End chapter makes so money. That plus the Lower Mainland is one of the biggest drug markets in North America. Take care and I hope all is well.
@@skgord1 Lost clubhouses were in court for twenty plus years. The actual physical end of the club property (Kelowna) just happened, but it was coming down the chunnel for a long long time.
Great work and perspective. Subscribed and eager for pt 2!
I appreciate it, thank you!
Anyone else in Loft6 that night? I still wake up in a cold sweat to it.
Do you know who the owner of that club was?
It is funny how time's change the Red Scorpion's have been completely Decimated and any of Them in jail are now in Protective Custody, Lmao
Protective custody for juice is crazy. I don’t believe it.
@@badabing2302 Dreaming; the one that ran to Mexico the cartel shipped him to the Phillipines, and he's now in jail there. Probably didn't need him in N. America.
I want to take issue with the statement that "not everyone in gangs does crime". If you're in a gang and any one of your members does crime, then you're an accomplice. Unless none of them are doing any crimes then they are ALL criminally culpable.
@@rbNNNN Good people or not, they are committing crimes if they are in league with others that are committing crimes. I'll admit that there are some law-abiding gangs out there, but it doesn't seem to be very many. Ignoring criminality leads to suffering for a great many people.
@@WezleyB Like I said, ignoring criminality leads to suffering for a great many people. I guess you like that.
Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate when people take the time to comment - I actually said not everyone in a gang is a bad person, but I take your point. I wanted to emphasize the fact that there are good people in gangs and bad people outside of gangs, and gangs mostly exist because "normal" people pay them to provide services. It's very complicated obviously. Cheers
@@strangenorth Good people can be led astray. Good intentions or not, if you're in a criminal gang, you're a criminal. At least that's how the laws sees it, and I don't disagree.
@@WezleyB I very much disagree. Some people still believe that the rule of law is a good thing for society. There are sometimes too many laws and sometimes law enforcement makes a mistake but to say that it is all meaningless is just handing the world over to criminals and sentencing honest people to suffering.

I clicked on the link, hoping to hear more about the Triads based in Burnaby in the mid 1990s, when I first lived in the Lower Mainland before my return to Japan, though I did still want to hear about the Indo-Canadian gangs that we’ve heard about throughout the 2000s through 2020s since my return to Canada. I live in Richmond, but I never hear anything about East Asian (i.e., Hong Kong immigrant) gangs (probably with Vietnamese members) anymore.
It puzzles me that Sikhs-often still wearing their Kara steel bracelets and other five Kakars that we’d associate with more honourable conduct-would be involved in callous murder, but we do see it in the news quite often. It makes most of us drive *around* rather than *through* Surrey if we ever have to cross the Lower Mainland, and to feel nervous around Abbotsford if we have to go as far as Mission, Chilliwack, or Cultus Lake.
I guess if I want to hear about the Chinese and Vietnamese gangs that dominated the news before we ever started hearing about Indo-Canadian gangs, I’ll have to see whatever other videos Strange North has already uploaded. It’ll be interesting to hear about the Vietnamese gangs in my native Edmonton, which I remember from the late ’70s and early ’80s, before I ended up spending decades in Japan, Taiwan, China, and Singapore.
Yes, he talk about the Crazy Dragons in the Edmonton plus the Fresh off the Boat and the Fresh off the Boat killers in the Calgary video.
@@ReesorPark Not with any depth, though. I’m going to check the Calgary video next because my sister has lived down there since the late ’80s or early ’90s.
My middle daughter talked about Koreans in her high school in the Taiwan Village (Fraser Heights) enclave of Surrey boasting casually about beheading people for trivial reasons, but the first part of the Vancouver video hasn’t mentioned much of anything regarding East Asian or Southeast Asian gangs.
I watched the video about my native Edmonton (I live in Richmond, BC) and similarly heard only a passing phrase mentioning the Vietnamese gangs whom we used to hear about killing each other in Edmonton in the late ’70s, merely as it being a precursor to a subsequent gang comprising broader ethnicities.
I think the narrator is so young (a Millennial) that his history doesn’t extend before the pre-digital age.
@@KennethWedin Unless there's a bunch of news articles and easily google-able information he's not gonna cover it
@@starchillius There should be lots of news articles on microfiche at any university and public library for each of these Canadian municipalities. That’s how we did our research-in libraries-before the WWW was launched. I do have to say, though, that my high school and university students whom I’ve been tutoring since 2009 wouldn’t make the effort to look at anything that’s not already digitized, which is a tiny fraction of the information that’s available in the world.
Nope, my history extends before the pre-digital age. Not all millennials are the same. Thanks for watching!
The maker of these vids MAY be the most earnest guy on the internet haha
Lol I'll take it, not the worst thing I've been called on here. Cheers mate
Well thank you that was very informative well done
I appreciate it, thanks for watching!
Maple Ridge was pretty crazy back in the late 90s and early 2000s.
Why are we not talking about the blue line gang.
As much as I desperately miss my hometown of Vancouver...
So very unfortunate that most of the perps mentioned in this video are either dead or in prison. 👹
great video as usual man
I appreciate it, thanks for watching - still can't believe anyone is watching my little videos but I'm glad they're providing value. Cheers mate
Thank you so much, can you please prepare video on some opium smugglers who are hiding in Sikh temples. Just like to see some facts, I heard few tons of opium gets smuggled to Vancouver quite often and ports are controlled by HA. Also why so much demand for these drugs, is it mental health crisis, what can we do. 🙏
Lol the ports aren't controlled by hells angels....this isn't the 80s lol. We constantly have border security in and out of the ports checking stuff, cameras absolutely EVERYWHERE. No gangs are running the ports lol. Its hard now just to get into the docks main road let alone a dock themselves. Tight security now.
Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate when people take the time to comment - it's definitely a complicated world out there. Cheers mate
@@funhole26 oh sweet summer child😂 you really think HA just bust into the port guns blazing GTA style 😂 look deeper into the unions that work the port and who are allow into said union

Hells angels and the triads
Hells Angels, Italians and Triads. Covers several of my friends
Hells angles are scared shtless of Asian gangs😂😂😂😂
His name is prounounced Faysal Dean(Faisal Dean)
Peter Gill...we all used to wonder why Gill would get back from court every day & would usually be smiling & acting like he had no worries at all...we found out why after lol.
Also Duhre is pronounced "Duree" & their ties were more with a gang they co-founded in North Van called NVL ( North van locals) which members from that group of the Persian persuasion started Persian pride.
Great video tho & pretty well informed. 👍🫶
The NVL'S were kinda mostly small time wanna be's. I went to school with a few of these 'gangsters' 😂
Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate when people take the time to comment - and thanks for the correction, I've definitely butchered a few names over the course of my videos. Striving to improve though. Cheers mate
I remember seeing them on tv threatening each other. “Bold move Cotton, let’s see where this goes.”
There were a large number of Asian gangs long before these gangs got started.
Great video. It's so interesting to see compared to those international companies and those listed in the stock market, the gangs are actually equal opportunity employers. They have embraced diversity and inclusiveness for ages.
Not gonna lie but growing up in metro vancouver, I do take a little perverse pride that even our violent gangs has a multi-ethnic tilt towards it.
You can do a 3 hour long video easily. please do one
Thanks for watching - gang activity definitely isn't the main thrust of my channel (even though those videos are pretty popular) but I may do more down the road. I'm for sure going to post a gangs of Vancouver part 3 video within a few weeks, just so much content in that city. Cheers mate
20k+ subs, what a year
I was aiming for 1k subs by this point, can't believe how fast it's growing. Grateful but I have a long way to go and a lot to learn. Cheers mate

BC needs a right wing government. Vancouver at this point needs, Judge Dredd, Dirty Harry, Robocop and the Punisher
Don't forget about Death wish...Charles Bronson
@@inktownfishing4505was gunna say CHARLES BRONSON too so im gunna roll with CHUCK NORRIS
Hahaha
Don't forget "Maximum Dave"
Don't make me laugh. We've had those for many years and they did nothing but serve organized crime, helping them launder money & hide assets.
Not to mention they were the ones who closed down so much of the mental hospitals, throwing thousands of nutjob onto the streets where they became homeless and addicted too.
If you want street level junkies to suffer, while pampering the gangsters who turned them into junkies, by all means vote for the right wing.
Gangs here aint shit, people are soft and weal
I grew up in the east end...Nanaimo and hastings...eastvan saints was my circle mid 80s late 90s was some real shit
Nice remember the Los Diablos
How do they end up getting young people in there gangs? Do they target high schools?
Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate when people take the time to comment - you know what, it's a really complicated situation with many factors colliding and producing certain results. I didn't want to make it seem like the gang situation is out of control, Canada is still a relatively safe country, I just wanted to highlight the gang activity in the major Canadian cities. Cheers mate
In my experience it's usually through someone you know. Most people want to join. It takes 3 years to become a hells angel.
I have 2 young kids who will be going to school soon, I hope I can protect them from gangs
Its usually connection through school friends and family members. I would consider my own highschool to be quite safe but was aware of some gang presence especially after cops lined them up along the pavement during a mass arrest one day. Those that got involved usually start through classmates.
for gang distribution, the use of schools for a start up is two fold: !) if caught, they're underage, and 2) young people don't RAT on their fellow students, so you can depend on safe ground for distribution. ONe guy I know in the early seventies was basically very smart: biggest dealer in his Burnaby school, but hired all his dist. buddies and ended up VP real fast. Went legitimate once he knew he'd be facing ADULT charges. Ruined the "work experience" for me and anyone expecting normal, as you had to take on the whole "gang group" as my Chinese wife would say.
thanks

@@jonathanforlin1854 why do u respect them 😂 I don't its not even cool to tote Glocks and pistol
The only good thing Vancouver gangs did is diversify (not limited to one specific ethnicity on membership).
So which United Nations part of the west is Mr. Putin saying that he is worried about if he is in fact at all while maybe only wanting to maintain his public image as being a strong man protector [or else] too?
I guess letting them off the boat was a mistake
5:44 He didn't make the hit ! he claim's he did ! That's what happens when you shoot up a club house of the angels !
Canada is the safest country in the western hemisphere, who takes canada serious as this crime ridden country.
I think you need to give us a baseline on that comment, it is flawed. Maybe specify which province is the safest. I can assure you Vancouver is not, first hand experience.
Lol you think that because Canada has a tiny population that the tiny numbers mean safety. Look at crime based on population. Also east Hastings has been the most dangerous street in North America for decades.
@@coombsadventures9256 For street crime, andrus/overdose. I think Surrey may hold that record. Not sure it may be somewhere elso. Coquitlam is actually really bad to, Richmond maybe. DTES is a hub for a lot of street crime, I am sure the gangs have their fingers in there to with the drugs. One thing for sure, there is a lot of suffering down there, and I saw it last summer. So correct me if I am wrong or we can debate about it, I am curious.
@@coombsadventures9256 East Hastings is riddled with drug addict, not criminals. Also, El Salvador is the safest country with the lowest murder rate per capita after they imprisoned every MS13 member.
@@TR-yo5nx 90% of the crime on east Hastings doesn’t get reported so your assessment is wrong. They are criminals.
How about some stuff on the Italians, HA and Triads - like the 'war' with the Russians, and the death of Roger Daggit (RIP big guy) I don't believe for a second that Roger contracted out Ray Ginetti's hit, he simply wouldn't contract it out to the guy who they said did it. Maybe some overlap into the ousting of a former premier?
Italians go by the mafia name: Drangheta

Marijuana and cocaine were never even close to going kg vs kg to each other that is absurd to claim this. The gap is enormous. Trading would happen to eliminate the money transfer but never close to equal weight.

I was part of Persian Pride. North Vancouver
WTF? Gangs in this nice country of polite and honest hard working people? No way. Vancouver is safe and peaceful city. Bring more of nice, hard working, honest immigrants.
I’m like 10 seconds in… it’s VANGcouver
Diversity is our strength
bring in the military, gangs are gone.
Our military is laughable
not how that works lmao
The military is the biggest gang for sure
Well I don't know about that now a days.
I don't want tards with guns controlled by the government roaming our streets either
Foreigners
There is no way 1kilo of coke swaps straight across for 1kilo of weed.
Absolutely
hockey bags, not kilos - they used to drive a truck along 0 ave, and another along East Boundary and throw bags across, then they'd didi down Northwood. This stopped when USBP put cameras and sensors in. The border is a ditch.
Oh yes it did . Everyone knew that
I've seen people do cocaine its one hellavua drug but if your not careful you mite be snorting anthrax happened to me nearly died
Binnnndddddyyyyyyyyy nnn shiiiit
🤣 I hear this perfectly w the surrey accent
The gangs are pretty diverse and inclusive ironically 😅 which are made up of all backgrounds including Caucasian...so don't go aggressive in the comments
Some pretty wild comments for sure, par for the course I suppose. Thanks for watching, cheers mate
@strangenorth , thanks for your hard work; your content is comprehensive and great.
(Sorry for double comments, youtube was glitching earlier)
I appreciate it, cheers!
That's because in the 80s the schools in BC had no clue how to deal with organized gangs recruiting high school kids. It really wasn't on their radar.
That's WHY they're called the United Nations!!! Go Canada: inclusive.
Vancouver’s homicide rate is 1/3 that of the US. Less guns equals less homicides, gangs or not.
The comments here highlight the absence of critical thinking in Vancouver. Blaming immigration, when the country was built on it, seems shortsighted. If you are not Indigenous and you live in Canada, then you, too, are either an immigrant or born of immigrants. You, or your ancestors, also arrived here by plane or boat. It's important to acknowledge that colonisers were and still are among the most violent and insidious of them all.
None of these people are white. Big difference.
Colonists and settlers are not the same thing as immigrants ya silly goober.
Yeah these videos really attract a wild variety of comments, it's to be expected I suppose. Cheers mate, thanks for watching!
these morons think everyone except immigrants never commit any crimes and are law abiding citizens 😂😂
You guys have horse blinders on. This comment is MINDLESS! You say its short sighted to criticize open boarders, and you call our nations people "violent and insidious". Communist fuqs.
Who is a good person? (0:50) Romans 3:23 All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. Mark 10:18 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God. So who is wrong; you, or Jesus? (If there is another good person besides Jesus, then you are right and the Word is wrong.) Who creates evil; even 'bad' gang members? Well, if we believe in God; if we put the Creator above the creature, then we accept the fact that God creates you and I when we sin, and He creates satan and all the fallen angels also. (Yes, create*s* - present tense. Don't you know that God upholds and sustains all life too - where is your faith?) Isaiah 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.
Thanks for watching, have a great week!
Hamas is there too and it's worse than all the others right at this point I bet

Asians just do the footwork for the HA
