HA arrive for 40th anniversary bash - update

Up to 300 bikers are gone. The weekend was relatively peaceful, noted cops. One incident occurred in a Langley restaurant where HA in colours were asked to leave and they refused to pay. Cops were involved until other Hells Angels eventually covered the bill.

Hundreds of bikers from across Canada are partying at the gang's compound in Langley to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the establishment of the White Rock, East End and Nanaimo chapters. Peons from the puppet club Langford Savages were tasked with gate duty. Events gives cops a chance to photograph every biker coming or going.

Club events virtually never result in trouble. The gang's primary goal is to appear as big and bad in public as possible. The gang's goal is absolutely not to attract cop heat on business operations.
