Description: "00/00/1997: Eight members of the Vinland Hammer Skins and Berzerker Boot Boys carried out four planned attacks at three bars, injuring approximately 30 individuals. Brant Smith, Claude Brunet, Daniel Brunet, Sylvain Quiron, Mathieu Dubois, Jonathan Cote, Steve Lavallee, and Alain Letart were arrested in connection with the assaults.
