The Cossacks were little league compared to Hells Angels, Satan's Choice and Red
Devils. These were major biker gangs, and though Stadnick loved his crew, he
wanted to move up. None of these big names ever gave an offer to him, so when he
got the chance, he joined the Wild Ones. Wild Ones were much bigger than the
Cossacks, but still a step behind the big boys. They were like a minor league
farm team to Satan's Choice, sending prospects up to the parent club once they
had proved themselves at a lower level. In 1978, Stadnick figured
out the plan of the game, and realised he and his gang were on a treadmill. He
and his fellow Wild Ones did all of the "dirty work" taking all the risks and
getting a small amount of the proceedings. Satan's Choice got the glory of
being on top, and just hired their underlings to do their "dirty work".
Stadnick stood up for himself, and pulled his few friends aside and
shared what he thought. He told them about a much bigger gang called the Hells
Angels, that they had it easy and were treated with much more respect.
On October 12, 1978 three of them went to a meeting with the Hells Angels in
Montreal. During their meeting in a public bar, two men walked in looking out
of place. They pulled out guns and shot at the table the meeting was taking
place at. Stadnick was the only Wild One member that survived, and the two
Hells Angels ended up surviving but suffered through awful injury's. Stadnick
knew the two men must have been hired from Satan's Choice because a Wild One
told them what was going on. Stadnick rode back home to Hamilton hoping
everything would blow over but the war continued. The war resulted in the death
of the Wild Ones gang, Stadnick surviving but with no gang and few friends. He
later showed up to the Hells Angels, being an English speaking successful drug
dealer which was just what they could use to help expand their market and on
May 26, 1982 he was initiated a member of the Hells Angels Motorcycle Club
Montreal South Chapter. He became a full patch member on May 1, 1987. In 1988
he was voted president of the Canadian Hells Angels.

recklessness?
Yes, the men took an unjustifiable risk that a reasonable person
would not take.

be used to establish mens rea.
