AUSTRALIA - Victim refuses to talk over bikie-linked shooting.

OFF THE WIRE
Victim refuses to talk over bikie-linked shooting.
 The most senior police officer on Queensland's Gold Coast says a man shot at a shopping centre at the weekend is refusing to talk to investigating detectives.
Yesterday, police released images of the man they believe may be able to assist them with inquiries into Saturday's double shooting at the Robina Town shopping centre.
A female bystander was shot when a man with bikie links opened fire on another man at the shopping centre.
It followed a series of violent attacks last week also linked to bikie gxxgs.
Assistant Police Commissioner Graham Rynders says the injured man is refusing to talk to detectives who have yet to establish a motive for the shooting.
We're not sure why he was shot or we are not even sure why it took place in that location," he said.
"It may have been been an opportunistic shooting - we don't know at this stage.
"What I can say to you is that people of the Gold Coast should feel free to go about their business.
"There is no evidence before us that these incidents are going to continue."
Mr Rynders says recent attacks on the Gold Coast and in Brisbane indicate that tensions between gxxgs are high.
"A lot of it is personality driven and you have seen in a number of groups throughout Australia there has been cross-patching where members have gone from one group to another - that always creates tension," he said.
"At this stage we are not sure what has led to this incident and we are not sure what leads to the overall tension, because they simply don't talk to us."
Security review
Meanwhile, the Shopping Centre Council of Australia (SCCA) says there will be a review of security measures on the Gold Coast.
SCCA spokesman Angus Nardi says the organisation is also investigating the weekend attack.
"In overseas areas, some shopping centres do have metal detectors, they do have more strict security measures in place, and certainly a lot more than what's typical in Australia," he said.
"We are certainly not in surveillance mode where people are frisked or going through metal detectors when they are walking through shopping centre entrances, but again it is just something that the industry will evaluate."

South Carolina - Hell's Angels president busted in Horry County.......

  The Horry County Police Department held a news conference Monday to announce the arrests of 15 people in connection with illegal activity by the outlaw motorcycle gang, the Hell's Angels.
According to Horry County Police Interim Chief Saudra Rhodes, the Grand Jury handed down 226 indictments on 34 people last Friday.
The sealed indictments were opened Monday morning, and 11 search warrants were served in Horry and Georgetown counties.
The charges against the 15 include trafficking marijuana, manufacturing marijuana, assault by mob and unlawful use of a telephone. Those arrested include the president, secretary, and prospects of the motorcycle club Hell's Angels, and one member of the club Red Devils.
One of those arrested is the president of the local Hell's Angel chapter, Ellis Howard Shindler, said Rhodes.
Schindlers charged with manufacturing marijuana, criminal conspiracy, assault by mob, accessory to kidnapping, accessory to assault and battery first degree.
Police say additional arrests include: Thomas Allen Doucette Sr., Scott Richard Rowan, Jeffrey Carl Lozier, Melanie Ann Doucette, Patrick John Baker, Ashley Nicole Martin, Thomas Allen Doucette Jr., Jacob Pierce Austin, Jessica Diane Martin, Christina Elizabeth Baker, Lee Michael, Daniel John Baker, John Volosin, and Scott Hoy.
Rhodes believes Shindler was in charge of the whole operation.
Numerous police cars and a SWAT truck were spotted in areas around Surfside Beach throughout the day.
Police arrived at one location, Seagull Landing Court near Highway 707, just after noon. We spoke with Joe Sheehy, who lives on the street. He says about 15 police vehicles showed up around 8 a.m. and police arrested at least four people at a neighbor's home. Sheehy says the Department of Social Services took two small children from the house.
Police also seized boxes from a home on Deer Trace Circle, not far from Seagull Landing Court. They loaded the boxes into a U-Haul truck before leaving that home.
There was also an unrelated arrest during the raids today. Diane Vitak was arrested and charged with possesion of steroids.
We will continue to update this story as more is revealed about the arrests and the operation.

Columbia, South Carolina - Deputies: Hell's Angel chases robber from convenience store - wistv.com

OFF THE WIRE

LEXINGTON COUNTY, SC (WIS) - Lexington County Sheriff's Department detectives are seeking assistance from citizens in identifying a man who attempted to rob a cashier at a convenience store, but was chased away by a member of the Hell's Angels who was carrying a collapsible baton.

http://www.wistv.com/slideshow?widgetid=51345
Deputies say the unidentified man entered the Kent's Corner convenience store at 5846 Edmund Highway in Lexington just before 10 p.m. on Monday, April 23.
According to an incident report, after standing in line at the counter, the man pointed a knife at the clerk. At that point, according to the report, a jacketed, but unidentified member of the Hell's Angels motorcycle group who was behind the robber in line pulled out a collapsible baton and chased the robber from the store.
The good samaritan tried to detain the suspect until law enforcement could arrive, but was unsuccessful. The suspect ran away on foot toward Boiling Springs Rd. He did not get away with any money or merchandise.
Video surveillance shows the man wearing a camouflage hat, a bandana, a black jacket, black gloves and military style boots. The clerk described the man as white, standing 6'2" to 6'4" and weighing approximately 220-230 pounds. The knife he was carrying is described as a military or hunting knife.
Lexington County Sheriff James R. Metts asked citizens who have information about the man or the attempted robbery to call the Lexington County Sheriff's Department at (803) 785-8230 or CrimeStoppers at 1-888-CRIME-SC.

AUSTRALIA - Former Comanchero bikie Michael Sfyris admits possessing cocaine


OFF THE WIRE
FORMER Comanchero bikie Michael Sfyris has confessed to possessing cocaine, but denied claims he had a "dangerous" can of mace. Sfyris, 46, of West Croydon, appeared in the District Court this morning.
He had been charged with three counts of trafficking in controlled drugs, including cocaine, at Enfield in July 2011.
He was further charged with possessing a .357 double-action revolver without a licence, and having a "dangerous self-protection device, at Enfield in July 2011.
Court documents allege the device was a can of mace.
Today, Sfyris pleaded not guilty to trafficking in drugs, but said he was "guilty of simple possession".
Prosecutors accepted those pleas - which will result in a lesser penalty - "in satisfaction" of the charges filed.
Sfyris also pleaded not guilty to the weapons charges.
Judge Dean Clayton remanded him in custody until next month.

USA - “Necessary Force”


OFF THE WIRE

“I always thought police were nothing but good and were there to protect people,” testifies Elizabeth Polak, a registered nurse from Phoenix. Her view of the State’s enforcement caste changed dramatically as a result of what she witnessed in Denver on the evening of March 25, 2008.
Polak, returning to her apartment following her daily jog, saw a man and a woman having an unremarkable conversation near the entrance to the building. Two police officers appeared – a development always pregnant with trouble – and approached the couple. From a distance of about 100 feet, Polak saw the officers stride purposefully toward the man, who was later identified as James Moore.
“The officers did not stop and have a conversation with Mr. Moore,” she later recounted in a sworn affidavit. “The officers walked up to him and instantaneously punched Mr. Moore. Prior to being punched, there was no resistance or non-cooperation on his part. Mr. Moore was not given the chance to comply with any orders, if any were given. It appeared that the police were on a mission to walk up to Mr. Moore and punch him.”
Shocked and terrified by the assault on Moore, the woman – his girlfriend, Julie Gomez – repeatedly exclaimed: “You have the wrong people!” Moore, who had been knocked to the ground, did what he could to avoid or deflect the blows directed at him by the assailants.
The attack on Moore “appeared to be completely unprovoked and at no time was Mr. Moore fighting back,” Polak – who has never spoken with the victim – related in her affidavit. “At no time did Mr. Moore try to attack an officer. At no time did Mr. Moore try to reach for an officer’s weapon. Mr. Moore was surprisingly calm.”
“I did try to stay calm,” Moore, a Special Forces combat veteran, recalled to Pro Libertate. “I just tried to assure myself that the beating would eventually stop, and I just had to endure it patiently. But it didn’t stop.”
The assailants, Officers Shawn Miller and John Robledo of the Denver Police Department, had been summoned to the apartment building by a noise complaint from a neighbor after Moore – who has been diagnosed with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder – had a somewhat tumultuous breakdown upon learning of a friend’s death in Afghanistan. (Moore, who was a Ron Paul delegate in 2008, has become an unabashed opponent of the Empire.) After deciding a change of scenery was in order, Moore and his girlfriend called a cab and went outside to wait. An hour later, the cops arrived.
“We were waiting outside the building, when I suddenly hear pounding and rushing footsteps — then next thing you know Miller is in my face shouting, `Get your hands out of your pockets! Show me some ID!’” Moore told Pro Libertate. “I said, `Why. what’s going on’ — and I was almost simultaneously knocked to the ground before I could finish.” Once the beating began, Moore tried to identify himself and point out he was a disabled Vet — but this availed him nothing.
Moore hit the ground hard – and went very still. Moore recalled that there was a sudden, brief pause in the assault after blood gushed from his face onto the sidewalk.
“It seems to me that they knew at that point they’d screwed up,” he said. “It was as if, after a second or two, they decided to make it look as if I had been resisting arrest – which meant that they had to use a great deal of `necessary force’ to subdue me.” Robledo immediately hog-tied Moore, binding his wrists and ankles in a restraint device — while Miller continued the assault. When Miller’s hands grew weary and his knuckles became sore, he extracted a small club and began hitting the victim in the neck and head.
“I stood in terror watching the beating for about 7-10 minutes,” Polak attested. The attack lasted long enough for the young woman to enter her apartment and get to a window.
During that time, the assailants — seeking to sustain the fiction that they were subduing a dangerous, resisting criminal — called for “backup.” A thugscrum of about ten officers quickly congealed at the scene. As many as a half-dozen of them helping to restrain the unresisting Moore, who was already hog-tied and remained conscious for roughly half of the amount of time described by Polak.
“Every time I tried to say something, they raised my leg higher into the air behind my back, causing my diaphragm to push into my lungs to shut off my air supply,” Moore pointed out. “I could not breathe out, much less breathe in.” Even though he was helpless, hog-tied, face-down on the concrete, and suffocating, the police continued to beat him unstintingly while chanting the preferred refrain of the rapist: “Stop resisting! Stop resisting!”
“From the windows inside the complex, I saw Mr. Moore lying lifeless in his own blood,” Polak narrates. “Officers were still on top of him striking him with their fists. He was not moving and did not look like he was breathing. His face looked caved in.”
Eventually one of the officers – obviously the brightest of a very dim lot – noticed that
Moore appeared to be dead, and began to administer CPR. An ambulance pulled up shortly thereafter and Moore’s apparently lifeless body was taken to the hospital.
At one point, that body was literally lifeless, in a clinical sense: Moore “flatlined” on the sidewalk and had to be medically revived by the EMTs. Polak, looking at Moore from a distance with the eyes of an RN, couldn’t tell if the victim had survived: “I called my mom and asked if she would call the police to inquire whether Mr. Moore was alive or dead.”
It’s doubtful that Denver’s, ahem, Finest would have cared much about the fate of a mere Mundane like James Moore. The officer who led the unprovoked assault certainly wasn’t troubled by what he had just done.
“After the ambulance left, a fireman used a fire hose to wash the blood off the sidewalk,” Polak notes. I also noticed that the same officer that was beating him with the club was wiping Mr. Moore’s blood off of his club.”
Swaggering coward Shawn Miller bullies a small, disabled woman.
That officer’s name, once again, is Shawn Miller. Two days before he committed what was very nearly an act of aggravated homicide against James Moore,he and his partner severely beat a pedestrian named Jason Graber, leaving him with a broken knee and a permanent disability.
Concerned that Miller’s reckless driving was putting pedestrians at risk, Graber gestured for the officer to slow down. This constituted the unforgivable offense called “contempt of cop” – and Graber was brutalized as an act of “street justice.”
In a November 2010 incident in a secure apartment building, Miller cursed at, browbeat, threatened, battered, and abducted a disabled woman named Doreen Salazar because of her perceived tardiness in buzzing him and his partner into the residential area. Salazar, who had been advised by the apartment managers never to grant access to anyone she didn’t know, and who had difficulty identifying the officers as police, paused for perhaps a second or two before letting them in. It’s a tragedy that she didn’t understand that police are the most dangerous variety of strangers she’s likely to confront.
Security camera video shows Miller snarling at the small, middle-aged woman, pushing her, and cornering her near an elevator. He then slammed her face-first into the elevator door, handcuffed her, and held her in his patrol car for about ten minutes – a sadistic act that served no purpose other than to terrorize an uppity Mundane who had failed to respect Miller’s supposed authority.
“Did you learn your lesson?” a smirking Miller sneered at Salazar after releasing her from the handcuffs.
“Yes, I learned my lesson,” Salazar – who is more of a man than little Shawn will ever be — replied. “I learned not to open a door for a cop ever again.”
While that is a sound and commendable policy, it’s inadequate to deal with the threat posed by police officers to those citizens – like James Moore – who actually venture outside their homes on occasion.
Moore underwent a lengthy and expensive hospitalization that included back surgery. While recuperating from the nearly fatal beating, Moore had to deal with the expense, frustration, and stress resulting from the spurious charges filed against him by the thugs who had beaten him. In keeping with standard procedure in such matters, the victim of this unprovoked, and nearly fatal, attack was charged with Felony Assault on a Police Officer and Felony Disarming of a Police Officer. It took two years for the charges to be dismissed.
Moore in rehab following back surgery.
In March 2010, Moore filed a federal lawsuit against Miller, Robledo, and Denver’s municipal government. During depositions last December, Miller and his boyfriends continued to peddle the fiction that they had subdued a violent, dangerous suspect.
“They’re trying to make me look like Rambo – an unhinged Special Forces veteran who is a danger to the public,” comments Moore. “Yes, I did serve in a Special Forces unit that saw combat in Afghanistan, but I was a computer nerd. I was never part of an assault team.”
After returning to the United States in 2004, Moore suffered from combat-related psychological problems — including post-traumatic stress disorder. In 2006, he sought help from the VA, and was turned down. Shortly thereafter, he attempted suicide.
By 2008, however, “I was healthy again, and looking forward to live. Julie and I planned to make a life together, but that ended the night that the cops attacked me.” Julie, whose only involvement in the March 25, 2008 incident was to be a witness to the Denver PD’s gang assault on her boyfriend, was abducted by the police and slapped with several entirely contrived charges, including assault on an officer, resisting arrest, and “obstruction.” While in jail following her arrest, Julie was told that the police would have the couple evicted from their apartment — and they made good on the threat.
Julie spent the next two years fighting the fraudulent and vindictive charges against her. Although James and Julie are still on cordial terms, the accumulated trauma of the evening and her subsequent incarceration ended the relationship.
“In his testimony, Miller said that `This was the worst fight I’ve ever been in. This guy must have been trained in martial arts,’” Moore reflects. “He also said that I was a threat because he couldn’t see my hands and I was wearing a hoodie. Neither of those statements is true. I never had my hands in my pockets, and I was actually wearing a North Face jacket, not the notorious hoodie.”
Between his medical bills and his legal expenses, Moore – who pulled in a salary north of $100,000 working in Silicon Valley before going to war – is destitute, living with his father in Oklahoma. He was able to gather sufficient funding to travel to southeast Asia in search of alternative therapies for his back injuries – treatment that cost a great deal less than conventional methods in the U.S. While the prospect of relocating to Asia was attractive, Moore points out, “I had to come back here and take care of business in court.”
Last September, the Denver City Council approved a $225,000 taxpayer settlement with Jason Graber. U.S. District Judge John Kane, who had dismissed Graber’s lawsuit last March, reversed his decision a few months later after it was demonstrated that the Denver PD and the municipal government had refused to turn over documents dealing with excessive force complaints – many of them filed against Shawn Miller, who remains on duty and has never faced disciplinary action of any kind.
Denver’s police department is among the most notoriously abusive agencies of its kind in the Mountain West. Two years ago, in the context of growing public outrage over accumulating episodes of criminal assault by police, Chief Gerald Whitman told the local NBC affiliate that “the police department is under control” and that it actually receives fewer use-of-force complaints than departments in most other major cities.
Apparently the public is expected to confide in the Chief’s uncorroborated assurances, because he is determined to preserve the institutional opacity of his department.
Last fall, Judge Kane issued an order demanding that the police department turn over all documents dealing with excessive force complaints over the previous eight years, including disciplinary records. Despite fines of $5,000 a day, and Kane’s threat to dispatch U.S. Marshals to collect the files, the Denver PD and the ruling clique it serves have refused to comply. [Clarification: The department, while not in full compliance with the order, has turned over a small fraction of the documents it is required to provide.]
“The people behind this are simply trying to wear me down,” Moore observes. “They want to outlast me, and they have taxpayer money at their disposal, while I have next to nothing. They probably assume that I’ll get desperate and they’ll be able to settle for pennies on the dollar. I, on the other hand, am determined to be the guy who doesn’t cash out – the one who holds out for real accountability, which means the exposure of all the corrupt and criminal things this department has done to innocent people.”
“You know, before this happened I trusted the police,” Moore concludes in an ironic echo of the witness who saw him beaten and left for dead on the sidewalk. His experience is just one illustration – albeit an uncommonly infuriating one – of the fact that no informed and rational person should ever make that mistake.
“I always thought police were nothing but good and were there to protect people,” testifies Elizabeth Polak, a registered nurse from Phoenix. Her view of the State’s enforcement caste changed dramatically as a result of what she witnessed in Denver on the evening of March 25, 2008.

At one point, that body was literally lifeless, in a clinical sense: Moore “flatlined” on the sidewalk and had to be medically revived by the EMTs. Polak, looking at Moore from a distance with the eyes of an RN, couldn’t tell if the victim had survived: “I called my mom and asked if she would call the police to inquire whether Mr. Moore was alive or dead.”
It’s doubtful that Denver’s, ahem, Finest would have cared much about the fate of a mere Mundane like James Moore. The officer who led the unprovoked assault certainly wasn’t troubled by what he had just done.
“After the ambulance left, a fireman used a fire hose to wash the blood off the sidewalk,” Polak notes. I also noticed that the same officer that was beating him with the club was wiping Mr. Moore’s blood off of his club.”
Swaggering coward Shawn Miller bullies a small, disabled woman.
That officer’s name, once again, is Shawn Miller. Two days before he committed what was very nearly an act of aggravated homicide against James Moore,he and his partner severely beat a pedestrian named Jason Graber, leaving him with a broken knee and a permanent disability.
Concerned that Miller’s reckless driving was putting pedestrians at risk, Graber gestured for the officer to slow down. This constituted the unforgivable offense called “contempt of cop” – and Graber was brutalized as an act of “street justice.”
In a November 2010 incident in a secure apartment building, Miller cursed at, browbeat, threatened, battered, and abducted a disabled woman named Doreen Salazar because of her perceived tardiness in buzzing him and his partner into the residential area. Salazar, who had been advised by the apartment managers never to grant access to anyone she didn’t know, and who had difficulty identifying the officers as police, paused for perhaps a second or two before letting them in. It’s a tragedy that she didn’t understand that police are the most dangerous variety of strangers she’s likely to confront.
Security camera video shows Miller snarling at the small, middle-aged woman, pushing her, and cornering her near an elevator. He then slammed her face-first into the elevator door, handcuffed her, and held her in his patrol car for about ten minutes – a sadistic act that served no purpose other than to terrorize an uppity Mundane who had failed to respect Miller’s supposed authority.
“Did you learn your lesson?” a smirking Miller sneered at Salazar after releasing her from the handcuffs.
“Yes, I learned my lesson,” Salazar – who is more of a man than little Shawn will ever be — replied. “I learned not to open a door for a cop ever again.”
While that is a sound and commendable policy, it’s inadequate to deal with the threat posed by police officers to those citizens – like James Moore – who actually venture outside their homes on occasion.
Moore underwent a lengthy and expensive hospitalization that included back surgery. While recuperating from the nearly fatal beating, Moore had to deal with the expense, frustration, and stress resulting from the spurious charges filed against him by the thugs who had beaten him. In keeping with standard procedure in such matters, the victim of this unprovoked, and nearly fatal, attack was charged with Felony Assault on a Police Officer and Felony Disarming of a Police Officer. It took two years for the charges to be dismissed.
Moore in rehab following back surgery.
In March 2010, Moore filed a federal lawsuit against Miller, Robledo, and Denver’s municipal government. During depositions last December, Miller and his boyfriends continued to peddle the fiction that they had subdued a violent, dangerous suspect.
“They’re trying to make me look like Rambo – an unhinged Special Forces veteran who is a danger to the public,” comments Moore. “Yes, I did serve in a Special Forces unit that saw combat in Afghanistan, but I was a computer nerd. I was never part of an assault team.”
After returning to the United States in 2004, Moore suffered from combat-related psychological problems — including post-traumatic stress disorder. In 2006, he sought help from the VA, and was turned down. Shortly thereafter, he attempted suicide.
By 2008, however, “I was healthy again, and looking forward to live. Julie and I planned to make a life together, but that ended the night that the cops attacked me.” Julie, whose only involvement in the March 25, 2008 incident was to be a witness to the Denver PD’s gang assault on her boyfriend, was abducted by the police and slapped with several entirely contrived charges, including assault on an officer, resisting arrest, and “obstruction.” While in jail following her arrest, Julie was told that the police would have the couple evicted from their apartment — and they made good on the threat.
Julie spent the next two years fighting the fraudulent and vindictive charges against her. Although James and Julie are still on cordial terms, the accumulated trauma of the evening and her subsequent incarceration ended the relationship.
“In his testimony, Miller said that `This was the worst fight I’ve ever been in. This guy must have been trained in martial arts,’” Moore reflects. “He also said that I was a threat because he couldn’t see my hands and I was wearing a hoodie. Neither of those statements is true. I never had my hands in my pockets, and I was actually wearing a North Face jacket, not the notorious hoodie.”
Between his medical bills and his legal expenses, Moore – who pulled in a salary north of $100,000 working in Silicon Valley before going to war – is destitute, living with his father in Oklahoma. He was able to gather sufficient funding to travel to southeast Asia in search of alternative therapies for his back injuries – treatment that cost a great deal less than conventional methods in the U.S. While the prospect of relocating to Asia was attractive, Moore points out, “I had to come back here and take care of business in court.”
Last September, the Denver City Council approved a $225,000 taxpayer settlement with Jason Graber. U.S. District Judge John Kane, who had dismissed Graber’s lawsuit last March, reversed his decision a few months later after it was demonstrated that the Denver PD and the municipal government had refused to turn over documents dealing with excessive force complaints – many of them filed against Shawn Miller, who remains on duty and has never faced disciplinary action of any kind.
Denver’s police department is among the most notoriously abusive agencies of its kind in the Mountain West. Two years ago, in the context of growing public outrage over accumulating episodes of criminal assault by police, Chief Gerald Whitman told the local NBC affiliate that “the police department is under control” and that it actually receives fewer use-of-force complaints than departments in most other major cities.
Apparently the public is expected to confide in the Chief’s uncorroborated assurances, because he is determined to preserve the institutional opacity of his department.
Last fall, Judge Kane issued an order demanding that the police department turn over all documents dealing with excessive force complaints over the previous eight years, including disciplinary records. Despite fines of $5,000 a day, and Kane’s threat to dispatch U.S. Marshals to collect the files, the Denver PD and the ruling clique it serves have refused to comply. [Clarification: The department, while not in full compliance with the order, has turned over a small fraction of the documents it is required to provide.]
“The people behind this are simply trying to wear me down,” Moore observes. “They want to outlast me, and they have taxpayer money at their disposal, while I have next to nothing. They probably assume that I’ll get desperate and they’ll be able to settle for pennies on the dollar. I, on the other hand, am determined to be the guy who doesn’t cash out – the one who holds out for real accountability, which means the exposure of all the corrupt and criminal things this department has done to innocent people.”
“You know, before this happened I trusted the police,” Moore concludes in an ironic echo of the witness who saw him beaten and left for dead on the sidewalk. His experience is just one illustration – albeit an uncommonly infuriating one – of the fact that no informed and rational person should ever make that mistake.

AUSTRALIA - More than 400 arrested in NSW over weekend

OFF THE WIRE
More than 400 people have been arrested in NSW over the weekend as police crack down on gxxgs and gun crime following a recent spate of shootings.Officer carried out 1400 inspections of clubs, hotels and tattoo parlours, as well as 608 visits to individuals with links to gangs.
The blitz, which was part of Operation Spartan, resulted in 424 arrests and 667 charges.
Police also seized 12 firearms and compiled 1014 new intelligence reports.
Assistant Commissioner Frank Mennilli said on Sunday morning that, while the operation has several hours left to run, it has already yielded extremely positive results.
"This operation is all about dismantling and disrupting criminal activity, and we have made tremendous progress in achieving that goal," Assistant Commissioner Mennilli said.
"We've not only made a significant number of arrests, but also amassed huge amounts of new intelligence, which is in turn helping police to build an ever more detailed picture of criminals and the way they operate."
Among those arrested was a 26-year-old alleged Rebels bikie associate for breach of bail in relation to break-and-enter and malicious-damage charges in Newcastle.
A 34-year-old alleged Nomads bikie associate was arrested in Sydney's northwest for breach of bail in relation to the offence of aggravated entry to a dwelling with intent.
Operation Spartan was established in January to investigate gun crime and criminal gangs.

AUSTRALIA - Southeast backdrop for escalating bikie turf war ......

OFF THE WIRE
Marissa Calligeros
One of state's top cops says southeast Queensland has regrettably become the stage for an escalating turf war between several outlaw bikie gangs, after the weekend's shooting at a Gold Coast shopping centre.
An innocent female bystander was hit by a stray bullet at Robina Town Centre on Saturday afternoon, after an unidentified man opened fire on a Bandidos member named by police sources as Jacques Teamo, shooting him in the left bicep in front of his two children.
The 53-year-old woman remains in Gold Coast Hospital recovering from the gunshot wound to her pelvis. A hospital spokeswoman could not comment on the woman's condition today.
Mr Teamo, who was released from hospital yesterday, is believed to know his attacker but is refusing to talk to police.
The shooting is believed to be part of a revenge attack on Mr Teamo, whose Mermaid Beach East Coast Ink tattoo parlour was shot at last week.
Deputy Police Commissioner Ian Stewart said police intelligence suggested the Hells Angels and Bandidos were involved in an escalating turf war, as well as other outlaw bikie gangs.
"There's a whole range of issues. Our intelligence would suggest that there's a turf war going on - that's probably at bottom of this," he told 612 ABC radio this morning.
"These gangs run big businesses. These are big criminal enterprises and just like any business they want to take over people's territories - that's at the centre of most of these disputes.
"We believe there is an escalating feud between the groups. I don't think it's one or two groups. I think all of them are involved."
Police also suspect the recent violence may be linked to interstate bikie feuds, spilling over the Queensland border.
Mr Stewart made an impassioned plea to the public for information about the shooting, believed to have been carried out by a hired gun from Sydney.
"We won't solve any of these events if the public don't help us," he said.
"We've got a great Queensland, we've got a great society, but it only works if the public are prepared to stand up in these tough times and help their police do their job."
After the weekend's public display of violence, police are concerned bikie gangs are now stepping out of the shadows and no longer dealing with internal conflict behind closed doors.
"We've been on their case, because we see these people as one of the greatest threats to our community that exists," Mr Stewart said.
Police have released five images of the heavily-tattooed man, wearing two different outfits, that authorities believe are responsible for the shooting.
Commissioner Bob Atkinson told reporters yesterday police believe the offender changed clothes after the shooting.
But with gang members operating under a code of silence, Mr Atkinson appealed to “those on the fringes” of the outlaw motorcycle club to come forward with any information they may have.
“We can't detain him and again, as we have mentioned previously, what this highlights is the added level of difficulty associated with people who simply refuse to cooperate, especially with matters of such an extreme serious nature,” he said.
The shooting came after a series of attacks on bikie-related business across Brisbane and the Gold Coast last week.
A vehicle linked to the Bandidos was burned last week, not long after Mr Teamo's tattoo parlour was sprayed with bullets.
Then five masked men armed with baseball bats bashed men inside a Morningside tattoo parlour and an East Brisbane locksmith with links to the Hells Angels last Thursday.
An attempted drive-by shooting of the Gypsy Jokers clubhouse at Everton Hills followed, but the offenders targeted the wrong building.
The recent spate of shootings has the public on edge. Last night, police were called to Beenleigh over reports of gunshots only to find it was fireworks.
Police Minister Jack Dempsey announced yesterday 20 new detectives would join the battle against outlaw motorcycle gangs.
The detectives will be split between anti-bikie squad Taskforce Hydra and the Gold Coast's Serious and Violent Crime Squad, which will be renamed the Major and Organised Crime Squad.
Premier Campbell Newman said he would employ anti-bikie laws of the previous Labor government, despite the Liberal National Party repeatedly criticising the measures while in opposition.

AUSTRALIA - Newman blames Labor for bikie violence


OFF THE WIRE

Premier Campbell Newman “absolutely” blames the Labor party for Australia's east coast outlaw motorcycle gxxg problem and says the Liberal National Party has been left to clean it up.
“We've had a Labor state government in Victoria, a Labor state government in New South Wales and a Labor state government in Queensland and we have a problem down the east coast that now needs to be dealt with,” he said.
“We've had Labor governments up the east coast for the best part of the last 20 years and I do blame them, but I can tell the people of Queensland right now, they have an LNP government that is going to be serious about dealing with these matters.”
Mr Newman's comments came after yesterday's double shooting at a Gold Coast shopping centre.
A 53-year-old woman bystander was shot in the pelvic region when an as yet unidentified man approached a 42-year-old man police say has known bikie links, and brandished a gun at him.
The man was also shot and was taken, with the woman, to the Gold Coast Hospital for treatment for a gunshot wound to his left bicep.
Both are in a stable condition.
Opposition Leader Annastacia Palaszczuk said Queensland already had the toughest anti-bikie legislation in Australia.
"The LNP has an Attorney-General who wants to repeal the toughest anti-bikie laws in Australia, and a Premier who wants to apply these laws," she said.
"Does the Premier want to roll out the welcome mat to bikies across the border to come here?
"We now have a situation where the public is in fear for their safety.
"The LNP needs to sit down around the Cabinet table and sort this out. They need to explain what they are doing to stop the escalation of these bikie wars."
Police are still looking for the shooter and last night Police Commissioner Bob Atkinson said additional resources had been immediately approved to hunt out those responsible.
Mr Newman said his government would use “every possible mechanism” available to combat the escalating bikie feud – including putting the Labor government's association laws into action, which the Premier freely admits he criticised as recently as the last few days.
“We are going to go after groups that are identified as being involved in these illegal activities over the last seven to 10 days, Mr Newman said.
“If we are getting a strong message from the [Police] Commissioner that these people that have been involved come from these organisations and part of their internal machinations and are playing out these sorts of things on our streets, then we are prepared to give this a go," he said.
“We have been critical about that [association laws] in the past, I have in recent days continued to be critical, because really, any efforts should be directed against the breaking of a law as opposed to trying to designate an organisation.
“Nevertheless, we will look right now at whether we can launch some sort of action using the laws we inherited from the Labor Party, if we can do that, and if we can, we will.
"But we will be strengthening the law with this unexplained criminal proceeds sort of approach and that will happen once parliament comes back.”
Police Minister Jack Dempsey said an additional 20 detectives will be allocated to respond to outlaw motorcycle club gxxg violence, with 10 of those detectives headed to the Gold Coast.
The Serious and Violent Crime Squad, which currently consists of 20 officers will be renamed to Major and Organised Crime Squad and allocated 30 officers.
The newly named police squad will primarily deal with major and organised crime, serious and violent crime and illegal fire arms.
Both Mr Dempsey and Mr Newman again flagged changes to the state's illegal gun laws, which they say will be the toughest in the nation.
Also on the legislative agenda is a strengthening of mandatory sentencing.
“This government has the will, this government will not leave Queenslanders to go around in fear of being shot on a Saturday afternoon in a local shopping centre,” Mr Newman said.
“It's just not on, it will not be tolerated and the Police Commissioner and his dedicated team of men and women out on the streets who protect us, will be given every resource they need to deal with this issue.”
Mr Newman the government's reaction was prompted by the outlaw motorcycle gxxg violence spilling into the public arena and promised to protect Queenslanders.
“Remember what happened yesterday, we had a lady, who was, from what we understand, an innocent bystander, some lady who has gone into a shopping centre, she has gone into Robina on the weekend, minding her own business and has been shot,” he said.
“That is why this is so serious, that's why it's so unacceptable.”

AUSTRALIA - Court hears horrifying 'Hunger Games' ordeal of teenager in bikie 'Hunger Games' terror


OFF THE WIRE
Brenden Hills 
 The Sunday Telegraph
A TERRIFIED teen was forced to strip naked at gunpoint before being ordered to run for his life in a sadistic "Hunger Games" pursuit in bushland near Coffs Harbour.Rebels Motorcycle Club boss Tony "Shake" Garven told the 16-year-old he would be hunted down and killed in a "street justice" payback.
The horrifying details emerged in Downing Centre District court last week when Garven was sentenced to four years' jail after Judge Greg Woods found him guilty of waging a war of "vigilante justice".
Both the victim, who can't be identified, and his mum are "shocked and dismayed at the leniency of the sentence".
"The young fellow is extremely fearful and expressed his concerns for his own safety and doesn't believe the sentences protect him," a spokesman for the family said.
The boy's ordeal began when Garven and two other men kicked in the door to the teen's apartment and kidnapped him.
The court heard they beat him and dragged him into a car which was driven by Rebels member Robert Schilter.
Garven bit the teen's ear and repeatedly punched him in the face during the drive to secluded bushland. Garven later pointed a shotgun in the teen's face and said "I'm gunna (sic) kill you, you f. . .ing c. . .", court documents said.
Garven then said: "your clothes", indicating for the 16-year-old to strip naked, court documents said.
The teen was then told to "run" and he "jumped into the bush", court documents said. Thinking he would be executed, the youth hid in the dense scrub listening as Garven's car drove past, court documents said.
The teenager spent two hours in the wilderness before finding a farmer on a nearby property who gave the teen a towel and called his mother.
Court documents said the teenage told a friend: "I was shit scared and thought they were going to kill me".
The teen's terror paralleled that portrayed by the young characters in the movie blockbuster The Hunger Games -- running through a dark forrest, thinking he is going to die.
The bikie pointed a sawn-off shotgun at the boy, ordered him to strip and said: "You're dead, c. . ., I know a good place to bury you," tendered court documents said.
The court heard the boy was one of several victims Garven targeted after Rebels associate John O'Loughlin was bashed by one of the teen's friends.
Another victim was grabbed by Garven in a "full nelson wrestling position" and had his face bashed into a freezer 20 times, court documents said.
The court heard O'Loughlin chased the teen in Garven's car after the youth shouted, "F. . . the kebab shop" as he drove past a takeaway shop associated with the Rebels.
O'Loughlin crashed into the teen's car, forcing it off the road at 10.30pm on December 22, 2008. But O'Loughlin was severely beaten and hospitalised by another man who was in the car with the teen.
In delivering the sentence, Judge Woods told the court that Garven arrived at the scene and said he wanted to "kill anyone who was involved in that incident".
Judge Woods said Garven's actions were "wholly and without justification".
Schilter was given a two-year suspended jail sentence for his role in the kidnapping.

Hells Angels to MTV Star You JACKED Our Famous Death Head Logo...

0425_reckless_youth_hells_angels_lawsuit

OFF THE WIRE

The Hells Angels are going to war with MTV ... and one of the network's biggest stars ... who allegedly STOLE the motorcycle club's famous death head logo and plastered it on t-shirts. 

The man at the center of the controversy is "Fantasy Factory" star Rob Dyrdek ... whose company owns the "Young & Reckless" clothing label ... created by his cousin Chris "Drama" Pfaff.

The Hells Angels are suing Rob's company and MTV -- claiming Y&R designed and sold a bunch of t-shirts that "bear a design confusingly similar to the [flaming skull logo]" ... and they never asked for permission.

In the suit, filed in federal court in California, HA claims the logo has great commercial value ... because of its "very widespread public recognition" which evokes "strong and immediate reactions whenever used."

The Angels claim Dyrdek's actions have caused "substantial damage" to the biker club ... and believe MTV violated their rights by broadcasting the stolen logos on "Fantasy Factory."

The Angels are seeking unspecified damages. Calls to MTV and Rob Dyrdek have not been returned.

THIS is HAIRY-WILD!! 1st, the ADMIN. ship a bunch of weapons to Mexico...  
Now THIS is what we get "IN EXCHANGE"!!! WHAT IS GOING ON???
 expect that many other shipments have gotten through without being detected.
Scary stuff.
Wanna bet the White House asked the news media not to cover this because it would
embarrass them and Janet Napolitano? According to her, everything is just fine.
It alarms me that so many people STILL support Obama even after he has failed to do
what he promised to do for the people who voted for him.
God help us.
  Look What Arizona Found Date: Fri, 30 Mar 2012 19:07:02 -0700
NO NEWS ABOUT THIS ON THE OBAMA BROADCASTING NETWORKS  

Why was there no news coverage of this raid on the Arizona border???
This seizure was just five days ago. Right on the Arizona border!
This is but one seizure that has taken place along the border over the past year. There have beenmany more like this. (but you won't hear about it on media news.)
Not a mention on ABC - CBS - NBC - MSNBC - or CNN news! 
These photos and reports come from a Spanish language news source.
Thank God for the border patrol and that they did not allow this to get in.
Stash of assault rifles. (Grenade Launchers in pix center!) 




Enough ammunition to outfit a small army was confiscated.


Military caps and equipment were among the cache of weapons.


All types of assault weapons were among the cache
Many were military grade weapons with plenty of ammo. 



There were enough guns to open a gun shop. 


It was a major asenal of weapons including grenade launchers.
(Seen a little to the right of center picture.) 


Not only weapons, but also vehicles believed to have been stolen were found at the site. 

One smuggler was killed during the operation when he fired on the border patrol agents. 


See cellular phones!
Arizona does not require a "Front" license plate!


Numerous Police style bullet proof vests were found in one vehicle. 


MORE  than 200 large weapons were confiscated along with about 30 smaller arms

2 grenade launchers were among the cache

It appears these guys intended to portray themselves as police officers or military men.

Each and every vehicle checked had been reported
Stolen in the USA in the recent past! $380,000 worth
Of stolen vehicles were recovered.


More than 60 grenades of varrying size were found
Arabic writing was found on them.


Numerous Hand guns with loaded clips were also found in the cache.




A single grenade like this could bring $5,000
On the streets of the USA .


Each of these weapons could be sold for as much as
$5,000 on the black market in the USA .


More than 80 stolen cell phones were found.
These could be used for detonating bombs remotely.

Still more rifles were found stuffed in several SUV's



Clips loaded with live bullets were just too numerous to count.

All types of weapons including
 Afghan - Russian - Chinese
and many others..



Why would anyone to object to protecting our borders after they have seen this???
Our own Federal Government intends to sue Arizona over their law. But the Federal law reads almost word for word the same as Arizona 's. Problem is, the Federal Government refuses to enforce the law.
Sorta makes you wonder who our real enemies really are.................Doesn't it?
