Organized Crime Protesting Legalization in Canada
    #22445220 - 10/28/15 02:45 PM (8 years, 3 months ago)

The Hell's Angels are freaking out about Canadian prime minister Trudeau attempting to legalize marijuana so much that they actually protested Parliament, claiming it will put them out of work. That's insane in its own way and I guess they knew it because they backed it up by saying less jobs means more tension and more gang violence. What a bizarre situation.

Reminds me of when the narcos were fighting extradition laws in South America a couple decades ago.

Yeah, it's weird to watch a gang trying to elicit sympathy for organized crime. They've mentioned that it's in everyone's best interest because gang violence will increase if they panic, but you'd think they'd be drumming up that angle more than a needy one.

In the last several days, there have been a number of published stories about the Hells Angels protesting the legalization of cannabis in front of Canada's Parliament buildings.

At the time of writing, the story has been shared more than 100,000 times on Facebook and Twitter. The supposed reason for this protest: the organized crime group is worried about falling profits in the face of a legal, regulated market.

The Hells Angels may indeed be concerned about how legalization will impact its business operations, but there's no evidence that an organized protest took place.

The original source of the story seems to be World News Daily Report, a site with a serious name and not-so-serious stories. Other "well researched" stories on the site include one about an activist spending a year in a freezer to protest global warming, and another about a hairy man killed by hunters who believed he was a sasquatch.

Satirical news is satirical.

Yep, I got fooled. Sorry, dudes, saw it shared a few times and made the bad assumption that it was the real deal.

I thought this sounded kind of weird, because from what I've seen, publically the Hells Angels swear up and down that they are "just a motorcycle club" and not a criminal organization.
