Chivalry Lives

That much hinted-at code of honour among thieves, evidently extends to crime-hardened malefactors having a tender spot of empathy for those who trust them, as well.  As in the case of Paul "Sasquatch" Porter, presently before the courts.  This man is distinguished by the fact that he is big, as in physically imposing, large, hard to ignore in a crowd or alone, in a darkened alley.

How does 6'-7" sound, weighing in at 400 pounds?  Not someone you might want to come afoul of.  On the other hand, if you happen to be his very special girlfriend, then he will go out of his way to shield and protect, if and when the case may be that such shielding and protection is required.  Assuredly so, if this outstanding couple are under police surveillance.

Which they were.  Mr. Porter is president of Hells Angels Ontario, Nomads chapter.  It seems highly likely at this point he will be sentenced to two years in prison for his carelessly casual drug trade business.  Though it was not he who was charged but his girlfriend, in whose purse was found the drugs in question, when the police who had been following them, stopped their vehicle.

For having secreted a "nine pack" of cocaine - 248.1 grams, valued at $14,000 - for the purpose of drug trafficking it was not the crime boss driving his vintage Cadillac Deville who was initially charged.  Officers from the Biker Enforcement Unit and Ottawa police drug section, tipped off to a drug pick-up, followed the pair, and subsequently charged Mr. Porter's girlfriend.

Despite that he gallantly claimed the drugs to be his, not hers.  She will be cleared of the charges brought against her, and he will be looking at two years in the Big House, the Slammer, Federal Prison, jail.  And most assuredly, she will be faithful to him, and await his eventual release from incarceration.

Love, it strikes where it will, and we're the better for it.
