The Gangs of Vancouver, British Columbia Part 1

  • 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, 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.

    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.

    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

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.

      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

      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

    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.

      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.

      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.

      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.

      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.

    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.

    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.
