The president of the Hells Angels of San Francisco was shot and killed in a bar brawl. Mark Guardado, 45, was found with multiple gunshot wounds around 10:30 p.m. outside a bar about a mile from the group’s clubhouse. He was taken to San Francisco General Hospital and died shortly after.

The suspect left the scene on his motorcycle after struggling with Guardado and eventually shooting him. There is suspicion linking the shooting to rival motorcycle club, the Mongols.

The Mongols have feuded with the Hells Angels for a long time. The San Francisco chapter of the Hells Angels is one of the oldest in the country.

Say it ain’t so, Marvin!

Hall of Fame to be wide receiver of the Indianapolis Colts, Marvin Harrison, is under investigation after a shooting incident outside his North Philadelphia bar, Playmakers. Apparently there was an argument, followed by an altercation outside, shots were fired, and Harrison’s opponent was hit in the hand. Police have linked a gun to Harrison, but no charges have yet to be filed.

I just don’t want to picture Marvin Harrison as some sort of punk. He’s always been classy on the field, and I would like to keep that image in my head. We’ll see how it shakes out…

Quaint as it may be, I sincerely hope that Chico’s notoriety as a party school that canceled Halloween will one day be supplanted by its true nature. No, not as the 10th best Small Art Town in America, but as Christmas Rock Town USA. In anticipation of the 3rd installment of Gorgeous Armada’s Christmas Musical, Sleigh: Sleigh II Again (Midnight, Friday and Saturday at the Chico Cabaret) Gorgeous Armada presents: Old Yeller and the 12 Days of Christmas!
