The Gangs of Vancouver, British Columbia Part 1

NOTE: Everything presented in this video is based on publicly available information and this video is intended to be a general overview of some of the criminal organizations in Vancouver.

In this video I cover some of the major gangs and crime figures that have become a part of Vancouver's history. There are hours upon hours of content on this subject out there, and this is just intended to be a general overview without going into too many details. This is also part 1 of a 3 part video series on this subject - I will be posting part 2 and 3 over the next several weeks.

As a quick side note - the topic of gangs is a complicated one. Obviously criminal organizations have done many terrible things. But not everyone who is in a gang or similar group is a bad person (although many are), and the vast majority of crimes are caused by people who are not in gangs. Additionally, most gang activity supports the illegal habits of everyday people - it is not solely the gangs themselves that are responsible for their existence. Definitely a complex issue, but it seems like gang activity south of the border gets all the press and so I wanted to do a couple videos outlining the different gangs and criminal organizations in and around the city of Vancouver, BC.

In this video I cover the following gangs and criminal groups/figures:

Bindy Johal
Ron + Jimmy Dosanjh
The Punjabi Mafia
Gurmit Dhak
Dhak-Duhre Group
United Nations gang
Independent Soldiers
Red Scorpions
Buttar Gang

This video is a broad overview and I don't go into massive detail on the gangs. I may do more videos down the road that explore individual topics within this video in more detail. I am also doing a gangs of Vancouver part 2 video in a couple weeks.

I hope you found this one interesting and informative, and if you'd like to watch more of my content in general please consider subscribing to my channel - I upload at least one new video per week.

Thanks for watching!
