The operation ran from early to mid 2017 and involved the Drug Enforcement Administration, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, Homeland Security Investigations, the California Bureau of Investigation and the California Highway Patrol.

The operation began by targeting the Demon Legion MC, an outlaw motorcycle gang based in San Bernardino, CA. It also grew to include Street Soldiers MC based out of Los Angeles and the Revolucionarios MC based out of Calexico, CA. The operation lead to the arrest of several prominent members of the outlaw organizations including Ron Morris, the national president of the Demon Legion, and most of the upper command structure of Street Soldiers and the Revolucionarios. While the Demon Legion continued to operate to some capacity, the Street Soldiers and the Revolucionarios ended up collapsing and disbanding.

Despite being highly unpopular among the motorcycle culture of Southern California, the operation was considered a huge success.

Queer

***Queer*** is an umbrella term for people who are not heterosexual or are not cisgender. Originally meaning 'strange' or 'peculiar', *queer* came to be used pejoratively against those with same-sex desires or relationships in the late 19th century. Beginning in the late 1980s, queer activists, such as the members of Queer Nation, began to reclaim the word as a deliberately provocative and politically radical alternative to the more assimilationist branches of the LGBT community.

In the 21st century, *queer* became increasingly used to describe a broad spectrum of non-normative sexual or gender identities and politics. Academic disciplines such as queer theory and queer studies share a general opposition to binarism, normativity, and a perceived lack of intersectionality, some of them only tangentially connected to the LGBT movement. Queer arts, queer cultural groups, and queer political groups are examples of modern expressions of queer identities.

Critics of the use of the term include members of the LGBT community who associate the term more with its colloquial, derogatory usage, those who wish to dissociate themselves from queer radicalism, and those who see it as amorphous and trendy. *Queer* is sometimes expanded to include any non-normative sexuality, including cisgender queer heterosexuality, although some LGBTQ people view this use of the term as appropriation.

After working several odd jobs such as a removalist, a piano salesman and a construction worker, Shane eventually became a production assistant for Never Alone. Shane described Never Alone as ‘a zero budget supernatural horror film’. Despite the almost nonexistent budget, Never Alone became a cult classic which allowed Shane to make several influential connections in the film industry. Shane went on to become a special effects artist who specialized in low budget horror and exploitation films, he was in especially high demand as his work was considered far beyond the scope of the movies he worked on.

During his time as a special effects artist in the 80’s, Shane also became a second unit director. In the early 1990’s, Shane made his own self funded psychological thriller film which became a cult classic and spawned 7 sequels and a prequel.

Lesbian feminism

**Lesbian feminism** is a cultural movement and critical perspective that encourages women to focus their efforts, attentions, relationships, and activities towards their fellow women rather than men, and often advocates lesbianism as the logical result of feminism. Lesbian feminism was most influential in the 1970s and early 1980s, primarily in North America and Western Europe, but began in the late 1960s and arose out of dissatisfaction with the New Left, the Campaign for Homosexual Equality, sexism within the gay liberation movement, and homophobia within popular women's movements at the time. Many of the supporters of Lesbianism were actually women involved in gay liberation who were tired of the sexism and centering of gay men within the community and lesbian women in the mainstream women's movement who were tired of the homophobia involved in it.

Some key thinkers and activists include Charlotte Bunch, Rita Mae Brown, Adrienne Rich, Audre Lorde, Marilyn Frye, Mary Daly, Sheila Jeffreys, Barbara Smith, Pat Parker, Margaret Sloan-Hunter, Cheryl Clarke, Gloria E. Anzaldúa, Cherríe Moraga, Monique Wittig, and Sara Ahmed (although the last two are more commonly associated with the emergence of queer theory).

As stated by lesbian feminist Sheila Jeffreys, "Lesbian feminism emerged as a result of two developments: lesbians within the Women's liberation movement began to create a new, distinctively feminist lesbian politics, and lesbians in the Gay Liberation Front left to join up with their sisters". According to Judy Rebick, a leading Canadian journalist and feminist activist, lesbians were and always have been "the heart of the women's movement", while their issues were "invisible" in the same movement.

Lesbian feminism of color emerged as a response to lesbian feminism thought that failed to incorporate the issues of class and race as sources of oppression along with heterosexuality.

Mitchell Beck

Mitchell Colin Beck is an American convicted serial killer and rapist. Beck was born in 1981 in Lodi, California, Beck worked several jobs before being employed by the United States Forest Service as a firefighter in 2012. Beck's MO was targeting people in national forests, especially the Angeles National Forest, in 2018 he claimed 4 victims in the span of 3 months, leaving one survivor, due to the escalation the Behavioral Analysis Response Team was called in to assist local agencies. Beck eventually went quiet after a massively increased police presence in the area. Several months later after the heat had died down, he resurfaced in Oregon where he claimed 2 victims before returning to California, eventually Beck disappeared again briefly, before returning and claiming more victims, his ability to find targets despite increased presence and media outreach baffled the task force working on it. Eventually the team realized they'd have to find him soon before he went dormant again. Personnel from several agencies blanketed the local national parks and forests, Heather Holm of LA-VCU and Andrew Ericksen of BART went to the Angeles National Forest near Big Pines, California to follow a lead when they encountered a person who appeared to be a USFS Ranger, after distracting them the Ranger, who was actually Beck in disguise, stabbed Ericksen before slashing Holm, however the two agents were able to apprehend him.

In the aftermath Beck was identified and it was discovered he'd been using the USFS Ranger ruse effectively across Oregon and California for almost a decade. Holm was quickly back at work within a week, Ericksen required surgery and 2 months leave, Beck eventually admitted to 17 victims and was sentenced to life without parole.
