SAN FRANCISCO (CN) - The son of a businessman who was murdered in his Chinatown shop testified Wednesday that his father had started carrying a gun and was "always on guard" in the weeks before he was killed.

...

Before he was murdered, Allen Leung was dragon head of the Ghee Kung Tong, a Chinese fraternal organization with ties to the Hop Sing Tong, a Chinese gang. Chow held positions in both groups, and succeeded Leung as dragon head of the Ghee Kung Tong.

...

Chow was arrested on March 26, 2014, in a massive FBI sting that netted 29 defendants, including former Democratic state Sen. Leland Yee, who ended up pleading guilty to racketeering.

Is there some kind of double standard going on with the pro-control folks?

1. Can you explain what you mean?

I can't comprehend it.

3. Former Senator Yee was an enthusiastic supporter of gun-control

Just my opinion; seems like a double standard to advocate further controls and associate with gang types and get involved with gun trafficking.

4. Well, being a crook does set you up for some ethical dilemmas...

But can you smear everyone who is concerned about our exceptional country's gun deaths because this guy is a crook?

5. Of course not

I do have a special disdain for politicians who advocate for restrictions on rights while engaging in crime.
I feel they deserve to be pointed out as the worst of bad examples.

6. So sorry....

It semed you were using a broader brush.

7. No need to apologize; no offense taken

Have a nice night.

2. Gangs.

In the good ole days you just got cement shoes or a piano wire garret.

8. Nothing is as it was

Philip Carlo Testa (April 21, 1924 – March 15, 1981), also known as "The Chicken Man" or "The Julius Caesar of the Philadelphia Mob" or "Philly", was a Sicilian-American Mafia figure known for his brief leadership of the Scarfo crime family. Testa became boss after popular former boss Angelo Bruno was murdered by his own consiglieri Antonio Caponigro who, in turn, was ordered killed by The Commission for acting without permission. About a year after Bruno's death, Testa was killed by the blast of a nail bomb allegedly ordered by his underboss Pete Casella. According to the Philadelphia press that event marked the beginning of the four-year Philadelphia Mafia War that led to 30 mobsters being killed.
