Hells Angels and Rock Machine - Tensions rising again




The blood between these clubs has always been bad. It came to a climax in Montreal back in the '80s with hundreds of murders, and car bombings, and ended with 'Mom' Boucher (Hells Angel Nomad leader) in prison. Are we headed to that point again?
Rising tensions between two biker gangs have Winnipeg police closely monitoring their actions.
Police paid close attention to a bar at a St. Boniface hotel Saturday night following a tip that a fight could be imminent.

Quote from the article:
The news follows a serious attack against a Winnipeg member of the Rock Machine Motorcycle Club inside a business on St. Mary's Road about three weeks ago.

Sources tell CTV News the victim was lured to the business where he was then beaten.

The victim had such serious injuries that he was unrecognizable.

Officers say they had received information that the people responsible for the attack were Hells Angels members and a few of their associates.

The group was allegedly unhappy with the victim because he is a former member of the Zig Zag crew, which is a puppet club to the Hells Angels.

He had apparently been seen around the city wearing his new gang's vest, which drew negative attention from the Hells Angels.

Since the attack, police have been preparing to deal with some sort of retaliation.

There were suspicions that members of the Rock Machine were going to attend a bar on Saturday night at the hotel because they knew associates of the Hells Angels frequented the place.
