Founder?

edit

The club was not co-founded by Yves "Apache" Trudeau, aka "the mad bumper", as the article currently suggests. He was, however, its most infamous member at the time of the purge. The chapter was what remained from the original independent club called the Popeyes, who were operating in Quebec long before the Hells Angels patched them over in 1977. Yves Trudeau was 22 years old when he joined, which would have been 1968. The club was founded at least four years prior to that, so to suggest that Trudeau was one of the founders is not accurate.

Over ten years later and this inaccuracy has yet to be addressed. Fellow editors: it's never too late to be bold. I'm thinking on how best to reword those opening sentences to correct this obvious inaccuracy, but am deeply impressed with how much the article has improved otherwise since I made that initial comment. Feel free to beat me to it! Garth of the Forest (talk) 19:43, 8 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

Harold Pelletier

edit

The article says Harold Pelletier was convicted of the Lennoxville massacre, which is rather odd given the fact he still free until he turned himself into the police in October 1995. The citation does not support the statement. The link here: Harold Pelletier says he was one of the leaders of the Pelletier Clan that dominated the Montreal underworld in the 1980s-90s, committed 17 murders between 1983-95, and confessed to his crimes in 1995 to receive police protection from the Hell's Angels. It says nothing about him being convicted of the Lennoxville massacre, so I think his name should be removed. Pelletier is a common French-Canadian surname, so it is possible that a Harold Pelletier was convicted of the Lennoxville massacre, but he was not the same one who was part of the Pelletier Clan. --A.S.

Just found a link here: How the Hells Angels slaughtered five of its own in Quebec 30 years ago only to become more powerful. This article says nothing about a Harold Pelletier, but it does mention a Jacques Pelletier being convicted of the murders.--A.S. Brown (talk) 06:05, 8 December 2017 (UTC)Reply
