Showdown: How Outlaws, Hells Angels, and Cops Fought for Street Control

Jerry Langton, 2010

Overview

Once allies, former leaders Mario Parente and Walter Stadnick became mortal enemies, leading their respective gangs in a violent conflict over lucrative criminal enterprises. The narrative explores the power shifts within the underworld, including the decline of rival gang Satan's Choice, and Parente's efforts to secure territory against Stadnick's ambition to make the Hell's Angels the largest criminal biker organization in Canada. It offers a firsthand perspective on the 2006 Shedden Massacre and the brutal rivalries shaping a segment of Canada's criminal landscape.
