On April 28 , in a shooting that crippled the supply of cocaine to the Dhak - Duhre group , Tomas Gisby ( 47 ) was shot and killed in Puerto Vallarta ( Bolan , 2012d ) . In a prior April incident 31 unrelated to the Dhak - Duhre side of the conflict , Asian gang member Justine Po ( 36 ) , who had been involved in the murder of Lotus gang boss Raymond Chan , was shot and killed . He was the second person involved in Chan's death to be murdered . Po had pleaded guilty to being an accessory after the fact and had served his jail time ( A. Campbell , 2012 ) . 

On May 2 , long - time and feared gangster Ranjit Cheema ( 43 ) was shot and killed outside his home within three months of being released from a California prison ( Pole & Clancy , 2012 ) . The same month , another Dhak - Duhre group associate , Bin Toor ( 35 ) , was shot and killed in Port Moody ( Bolan , 2012d ) . 

On June 25 , another long - time gangster , and founder of the Independent Soldiers , Randy Naicker was shot and killed in Port Moody after leaving a Starbucks ( Bulman , 2012 ) . In the final chapter of the Dhak - Duhre group's conflict with the Red Scorpions , Hells Angels , and Independent Soldiers . Thomas Mantel and Suk Dahk were shot and killed as they exited the Executive Inn Hotel in Burnaby on November 26 , 2012 

Chapter Conclusion 

As I conclude this article , stakeholders must face the harsh reality that violence and gangs in Vancouver are not new , nor are they a product of this new generation . They have been a part of the city's history for almost as long as the city has existed . In this article , I demonstrated that from 1909 to 2012 , gangs were consistently violent : there were murders , there were shootings , and there were gang fights . Innocent bystanders were shot , maimed , injured , and killed . Policymakers can't blame the new generation , media , police , video games , or rap music . The violence was there in the past , possibly even more so than today , there were running gun battles on the streets and gangsters shooting shotguns over the heads of Sky Train commuters . The nostalgic view of gangs in BC as being less violent simply is not the case . This recognition of our violent history with gangs in BC is important because as the community of stakeholders seeks to reduce gang violence , we must face the truth that it has always been part of our social fabric . This research about the history of gangs in BC situates us well for the analysis of how BC gangs are currently constructed and the rational choices members make to join gangs , as opposed to BC's historical gangs . In addition , this research also illustrates the value of the field observations and interviews for comparative analysis .

 章节结论

 在我结束本文时，利益相关者必须面对严酷的现实，即温哥华的暴力和帮派并非新鲜事物，也不是新一代的产物。 几乎只要这座城市存在，它们就一直是这座城市历史的一部分。 在这篇文章中，我展示了从 1909 年到 2012 年，帮派一直是暴力的：有谋杀、枪击和帮派斗殴。 无辜的旁观者被枪杀、致残、受伤和死亡。 政策制定者不能责怪新一代、媒体、警察、电子游戏或说唱音乐。 过去的暴力事件发生过，甚至可能比今天更严重，街上发生枪战，歹徒用猎枪向空中列车通勤者的头顶射击。 BC 省的帮派不那么暴力的怀旧观点并非如此。 承认我们在不列颠哥伦比亚省的帮派暴力历史很重要，因为当利益相关者社区寻求减少帮派暴力时，我们必须面对这样一个事实，即它一直是我们社会结构的一部分。 这项关于 BC 省帮派历史的研究使我们能够很好地分析 BC 帮派当前的构建方式以及成员加入帮派的理性选择，而不是 BC 的历史帮派。 此外，本研究还说明了实地观察和访谈对比较分析的价值。
