Sizzlers massage parlour and escort agency six bodies and three men with horrendous wounds crawling around the house in agony

South Africa's brutal crime wave struck a popular Cape Town tourist district yesterday when the owner of a gay massage parlour and seven of his employees were killed.South Africa's brutal crime wave struck a popular Cape Town tourist district yesterday when the owner of a gay massage parlour and seven of his employees were killed.The victims were tied up with tape, shot in the head and some had their throats cut. Six died at the scene, while two others died in hospital. Two more were seriously wounded.Police spokesman Etienne Terblanche described the scene at the Sizzlers massage parlour and escort agency as "horrendous".South African police are investigating links to organised crime, gangs and drug dealing. But the Gay and Lesbian Alliance (GALA) said they feared yesterday morning's massacre in Cape Town's Sea Point district was a hate crime."We have been very concerned about threats issued by various fringe groups in society over recent months," said the director of the Lesbian and Gay Equality Project.One of the victims managed to escape to a nearby petrol station, bleeding profusely from his head wound, where he recounted the drama to an attendant before collapsing. He was in a stable condition in hospital last night.When police arrived on the scene at about 4am, they found six bodies and three men with horrendous wounds crawling around the house in agony. Two of the three died in hospital: the third was in critical condition last night.
The rest of the house was mostly untouched, although it appeared the killers searched for money or valuables.Apparently acting on information from the two injured survivors, who were also shot in the head, police were last night hunting for four white men in a white BMW.One of the attackers was said to have a tattoo with the name of a Johannesburg gang, "Fast Guns", on his arm. Fast Guns is believed to have links to a Cape Town gang known as the Americans, and is reported to have been brought in to carry out slayings in Cape Town in the past.

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'

LaAunzae was a Vice Lord, and Donald Ragland was a Gangster Disciple

2005 execution-style murder in Frayser was a case marked by "gangs, guns and death." And not incidentally, they added, there was an element of revenge when defendant Donald Ragland Jr. shot 26-year-old LaAunzae Grady three times in the back on a cold December afternoon outside of St. Elmo's Market."He didn't have a problem taking this job, because LaAunzae had killed his brother five or six years before this," gang unit prosecutor Ray Lepone told a Criminal Court jury. "LaAunzae was a Vice Lord, and Donald Ragland was a Gangster Disciple."Asst. Public Defender Trent Hall said prosecutors would not be able to prove their case and asked jurors to acquit Ragland, 27, of first-degree murder.On Wednesday, jurors watched a surveillance video from the store that showed an apparently nervous Grady looking out the front door of the store several times before finally leaving.A half-dozen loud gunshots then quickly follow, though the shooting on the outside p
