The Gangs of Vancouver, British Columbia Part 2  

Wow, you’ve really exceeded my expectations after the disappointment I’d expressed in the comments in Part 1 and/or regarding the video(s) you’d created regarding Edmonton. Excellent depth and coverage-very well done. This was well worth the wait. I should go back to my comments on your previous videos to edit them accordingly.

Well done as always!

I knew a Chinese guy in high school that was away for like half the school year or more. We were told he had a biking accident and broke his teeth biking. Years later, his close friend told me that it was actually a shooting he was involved in where a rival gang shot him in the face and he somehow didn't die and needed surgery. That's why he was away for that long. If you'll recall, I'm also the guy that told you I lost an innocent friend in the Surrey Six Shootings. The guy was just going out to go play basketball as he saw the killers coming out from a hit and they killed him for being a witness. Thanks to your videos, I've been rediscovering how much of my life has had gang violence on the periphery that I either blanked out or didn't notice until right now.

Well done can’t wait for part 3 and yeah, you should definitely do some of the old-skool stuff

been waitting for this!

YAY!!!! thank you for posting part 2, just started watching and I can't wait to learn

Great series. Well done and thanks for posting.

Great channel bro, keep the vids coming

I watched part 1. Part 2 is equally good. Kelowna is influenced heavily by some of the gangs mentioned.

My great-grandfather came in 1898. There have always been gangs, even in the early 1900s. The Chief of Police always lived in a mansion. It wasn't just bribes; people would work for free in case they needed a favor. Late 90s was fun. I was just walking into the club when Bindy was whacked. People ran outside and danced in the streets. My late grandfather employed a young guy who stole from him. He laughed it off and became a father figure to Fats Robertson, the top guy in BC for Montreal. My grandfather was a regular farmer. So I never believed the stories about Fats until it was on Google. He was 70+ when I met him. Regular house, no jewelry etc.

I was in a DocMovie regarding the kid shot in the theatre on Broadway and Commercial. It was a Hong Kong director and it was released in Hong Kong then used in Lower mainland High Schools for Years to show grade 8’s the dangers of Ganglife. The director wanted kids who could actually Face get so he came too Al Chengs Kickboxing and offered us who trained there Roles. There was also actually Gang members in the Movie too. They basically didn’t speak English.

The old Vancouver Downtown look so much better than the current Vancouver downtown. the old downtown look so classic

Good job.. I remember all these gangs.. Guys would say they were in xxx gang, in grade 8. It was nuts, white kids with MC hammer pants strapped with guns.

Great work. Politicians too scared to do anything about this. Disheartening to say the least.

I like that you mentioned the drug money being laundered through the real estate market, pumping up prices. The politicians never talk about this! It is always the other party’s fault. The problem of housing un-affordability goes back way beyond the recent interest rate hikes in response to inflation.

Vancouver was the best place to grow up in the 80-90s was a pretty crazy time

We need a part 3 !

Growing up in the 90s i had a buddy who had the plug that was a Big Circle Boy. Buddy could get anything and had insane prices. He owned like 5 houses all over Van and 10 different cars.

great vid as always

I really enjoy your content, keep up the great work you do, even enjoy your cooler brother🤣 I'd love some more content about Red Deer and their haunted places. I really want to know where to avoid😂 Happy Canada day to ya 🍁

4:49 Ray Chan couldn't be the guy pictured, right? The gang boss Ray Chan died in a hit in 2003 but the guy in the photo became an MP and is still alive, last I checked.

Excellent video!

I heard a rumour that at the top of all gangs in Vancouver was ‘the board’. Old school WASP’s that are as old as Vancouver, based in a boardroom on Howe St.

Pretty difficult to compare gang activity decades ago to whats going on now. Now Im no choir boy. Ive had my share of unsavory activity. But this opioid epidemic is truly inhumane and out of control. I truly wish humans had a lot more compassion and awareness in their actions. When it comes to money? Its pretty sad many just dont seem to give a fuck about anything else. People are dying man. And they are far beyond being able to make a choice

3:41 is a screenshot from a cool Japanese movie: Crows Explode

Good. Thanks.

thanks for sharing...Vancouver was alway`s my great escape from Winnipeg + I was a streetworker on the Joyce - Collingwood project + worked for Robert Kaplan ...times have changed health the UN voluntary unvoluntary organ donation + who profits the most from the enterprise ...I left the project beaten up + wanted The Canadian Army to intervene but the political will of the people wasn`t there despite the seriousness of the situation , one day it will be addressed it`s never too late if your life is in question...it`s a big ugly can of worms that needs opening + disposed of...thank you . :)

Keep it up thanks

Paper Fan: The Hunt for Triad Gangster Steven Wong Is a good read about Vancouver Asian gangs, Steve Wong founded the Gum-Wah's. Wonder if Strange North read it?

Very interesting

Could you do gangs of Montreal too pls? Not much is known about them

More videos on these chinese gangs and triads including Vietnamese etc

EVS East Van Saints were Tough as Hell in the 90s

thanks for shouting out templeton highschool

Solid video bro. Saw part 1 and this popped up today. Good content. If you ever wanna collab and do like a commentary together about a topic. Hit me up. I got podcast mics

I went to both Brit & Tech, I heard some nasty stories, about the nasty brawls between the 2 schools, 1 student had an umbrella shoved up his butt and it was opened up. Still uncertain the truth to that story, but that was the most brutal story I heard about.

Forgot the shadow dragons chinese/Cambodia gang

There should be a television series that has seasons from mid 90s to the 2010s based on gangland BC.

great work i'm from van - i had little knowledge of the gangs before the johal era - really eye opening! anyone heard of the phillies??? this is early 90's

Teo gill and chico telaz started los diablos in 1986.,1st leader was teo.2nd leader became chico.then leader was garmel.the final leader was yawer khan. Most dangerous was Justin moyou.wondering how i know. It all started for me at brittaina high school for me 1987.when i met Justin and we became best friends

Fenta heads in Cordova. "we are the captain now"

90's? Workmate used to fight Gung Fu in Chinatown in the early eighties, and the Big Circle Boys were mentioned to me THEN. They were very much low profile, like most asian gangs.

I knew most these guys haha < Champlain Heiiiiights !

part 1 was good, (pre-watch comment)

Not massive to the story but I always interesting how Keaton Canadian places are named after Irish towns or counties

The "investment" of "kash" in Vancouver housing also has a FLIP side: vast increased tax revenue for municipal and provincial coffers, the knocking down of Van. specials dating back to WW1 that NOW have an 8,000 sq. ft. house (ka ching, again) and while it's ONE of the issues involving Vancouver and area house prices, it's not the ONLY cause. A Port city like Vancouver (which is NOT Tacoma) is attractive and has never been inexpensive. I remember when we used to say Seattle is Vancouver, with no class and no style. Now it has 35 million dollar houses.

I read Aarons book and found several people that I knew in it.

“Nay ho ling aaah” means “you look pretty” in Cantonese. …awesome video by the way.

Hello, great video. I wonder if in your research you have come across any evidence of Ndrangetta activity in the Italian neighbourhoods originally situated along Commercial Dr and around the Hastings strip from Nanaimo to Slocan. Of course the demographics are changing but as an important Western port city I would imagine they would be here. Any thoughts?

The Star Wars gang......that has to be a joke right?

Just fyi if you live in Van the Golden Palace is now the Rio

I miss that Bino's

business by-law officers and other political officers came to a farm and asked the owner if they could inspect his farm, he thought he must comply to the legal artificial political personnel, so he volunteered to allow them to do their business on his property. for a few years they proceeded to accuse him of things he was doing are wrong, not to their liking and that he should do it the way they wanted, having to buy new things and changing building structures etc... he did everything they wanted. they then ordered him to shut the farm down, he had been running for over 40 yrs, never causing anyone any criminal intent, never causing damage and injury to anyone growing potatoes. so he got very angry at the legal by-law officer, just to act arrogant and totally mean, she said to him; if you had not allowed us on your property we would not have been able to do anything. the whole financial corporate legal civil political system, it's departments and services are businesses, that are only voluntary! is the financial legal corporate system trying to hide that they are a business, that is only voluntary! should any corporation, business, service, have authority to force anything to do business in their "jurisdictional by-law authority" it's codes, rules? mcdonalds,? wendy;s? the corporate health department? the polls department? the lobbying department? licensing department etc... it's president and stock holders? popeye's chicken, it's stock holders? force your children to act as a slave to any corporation, business, service? this is what hitler did, stalin, lenin etc... the birth certificate is a corporate legal business, signed by the corporate registrar general, used as legal jurisdictional authority over any child and it's property, that has one. when any business wants to trick anyone to volunteer to their jurisdictional authority in their business, ask them to put in writing and send it to you. just state you do not want their business service, they may take you to court, before a jury of men and woman, with proof, state why you do not need the business service they offer. creatively remove the understanding(standing under) volunteering, consent into slavery, choose to be creatively free.

Thanks

My. Brother. Told. Undergroúnd. He's. Desde. Know.

How about Rizzuto?

Informative, thanks. I know there will always be crime, but allowing groups of criminals to amalgamate and organize is where the authorities should draw the line. Individual criminals commit crimes against individuals of a society, but groups of criminals (gangs) do large crimes against the whole of a society. Through our taxes we fund the authorities to stamp out crime as much as possible, but they are failing in this important task. The results are truely heartbreaking. Drug epidemic resulting in millions of deaths worldwide, 10's of thousands here in Canada. Money laundering and investing in real estate, making homes unaffordable to regular working people. The vast sums of money made from illegal activity funds corruption of our officials, that further enhances the corruption. It is spiralling out of control, and the authorities don't seem to be able to, or are not willing to do anything about it. Eventually, people will get fed up and take matters into their own hands. We would like to elect officials who will implement laws and fund the authorities to go after these criminal organizations, but without results, patients runs thin. Do we need to bring in the Army? What will it take to stop this runanway train crime wave?

My first run up into Vancouver from the USA to visit my uncle (1975) I ended up at the Olympic Hotel on the north shore (North Vancouver). Sketchy setup, very large crowd and venue, a LOT of draft dodgers and my guess is they make their money selling drugs. Left pretty quick.

We should hand out search warrants willy nilly on report of suspected organized criminal activities.

He forgot to mention the VPD and RCMP

Azn gangs in Vancouver are not to be messed with. They been and still around. How many fallen azn gangsters nowadays gets murked? Not a lot.

your forgetting Jesus Christ of ladder day saints there also a gang

The Big Circle (Boys) are the ones in Vancouver. These old cats dont mess around, their the real thing. they lord over the disrespectful Viets. Even the red and white respect them I used to deal with one. in the 80s idiots from the Lotus and Red Eagles gangs, we beat the crap outta them in juvi lmao. The Clark Parkers have been around and far more significant compared to the Kiddy Gangs. The Moody bros are still kicking it. Im 51, i had spent over 5 years in prison before the age of 21.
