Club Platinum ,Harrisburg Boys were trying to start a fight with the Southside Boys inside the club.

Double shooting at Club Platinum over the weekend is getting the attention of city leaders. "What do you call fun? Shoot em up bang bang. That's not what I call fun."
Mayor pro tem Alvin Mason is speaking out after a shooting at Club Platinum that left two people in the hospital."It definitely merits some type of action," said Mason. The club has a police file that reads like a graphic novel. It comes complete with tales of gang rivalries, and it details 5 shootings in 3 years. One was deadly.
"Was this latest shooting gang related," we asked. "Definitely gang related," said Sgt. Richard Elim.Witnesses say the Harrisburg Boys were trying to start a fight with the Southside Boys inside the club. The group was thrown out. The shots were fired in the parking lot. The reason is unknown."What we do know is it keeps happening at this location," said Mason. "It may be time for this location to shutdown.""It would be a bad thing if we allowed that kind of operation to run and we have another murder there," said Elim. "We already had one.""I'm ready to act," said Mason. "I'm ready to act, today."Mason says this is just the beginning.
"Anyone who comes to club establishments with the intent of doing bodily harm to somebody, I don't care what your color is, they need to be dealt with," said Mason. "If a club caters to this type of environment then they ought to be dealt with," said Mason. "This isn't a Black issue. It's not a White issue. It's a right and wrong issue, and I'm prepared to deal with right and wrong."Committee meetings are coming up Wednesday. Commissioners are making a last minute attempt to get this item on the public safety agenda. Sheriff Ronnie Strength says he will recommend revoking the club's license. He says he is also looking into legal options for having the club's doors closed before the weekend

Timothy “Fuzzy” Timms, a 45-year-old member of the Hells Angels Motorcycle club, stood up Monday for his First Amendment right to freedom of expression. Timms, a resident of the San Diego community of South Park, refused to take off a black leather vest with the motorcycle club's “death's head” insignia when he reported for jury duty. He's a big burly man, 5 feet 8 inches, 250 pounds, with a full beard and auburn-colored, shoulder-length hair. At 7:45 a.m., Timms' stance got him booted from the San Diego Superior Court's Hall of Justice by sheriff's deputies, along with another Hells Angel who also refused to remove his insignia vest. Nine hours later, representatives of both the Superior Court and the sheriff's department apologized to Timms and club member Mick Rush for “misunderstanding” an order issued April 24 by Superior Court Judge Jeffrey Fraser. Rush also had been reporting for jury duty. “It all boils down to a misunderstanding of Judge Fraser'

Jorge “Rivi” Ayala, Griselda Blanco, aka the Black Widow

Rivi was, for a time, the hit-man of choice for Griselda Blanco, aka the Black Widow. Griselda was the grande dame of the Miami cocaine business, a Colombian mother of three, of impoverished origins, who slaughtered and intimidated her way to the top of a billion-dollar industry. She is a central character in this movie, the most deadly figure in a story in which the bodies are stacked like dominos. Conspicuous by her absence as an interviewee, she is one of the few key survivors of the era whom the film-makers were unable to coax before the lens. “Her release was imminent at that point, as was her deportation. I think she has changed her mind since, because we have been reapproached,” Corben says. contract killer Jorge “Rivi” Ayala, the director of Cocaine Cowboys Billy Corben says: “He told me where there is a body buried in Miami, by the Florida turnpike. It’s all developed now, malls and condominiums. He knows where all the bodies are buried. We told the police. I think he told the
