It was early on Monday, June 18, 2007, just as city workers were arriving at their jobs that Hells Angel Christopher Wayne Hudson finally imploded.
First he beat and kicked a woman in a strip club before dragging her along King Street.
Then he saw his girlfriend, Kaera Douglas, who had just arrived on Hudson's orders to drive him home. He greeted her saying: "Today is the day you're going to die."
This is a story of unspeakable family violence, the courage of strangers, and it also shines a light on us: and what we see is not that pretty at all.
