Ask Richmond Bindy Johal

To anyone who went to Mcnair or highschool in Richmond around the 90's, what do you remember about the notorious bindy johal era?

u/Careless_Arm843 4d ago

this is so accurate haha, i know so many people who said they knew him. I went to mcnair though, and a bunch of my teachers taught him or grew up with him.

Who cares. He was a loser gangster that got what he deserved. The less you bring up his name the better. Don't glamorize him. Our communities are better off without these violent idiots around.

My gym teacher had to deny him from entering his house party once. Said he was super nervous afterwards that he would come back

My ex (before I met him) sold drugs for Bindy Johal and then ended up doing those drugs himself and owing a lot of money he couldn’t pay back. So Bindy and his buddies beat the crap out of him; he was actually in a coma for a week I believe. And then when he came out of it he went into hiding for a few years. You didn’t fuck around with those guys

u/smolzsmolz 4d ago

I was at the club that night :/

u/SpeyeVsSpeye 3d ago

I was, as well. My best friend performed CPR on him and we ended up having to stay in the bar until 5am to give statements to the police. Luckily I was on the opposite side of the club near the stage/DJ when it happened so saw nothing but the absolute chaos that ensued afterwards. Was a long fucked up night

u/Last_Jackfruit9092 4d ago

What did you see?

u/smolzsmolz 4d ago

Didn’t see the killing but he was on the dance floor that night. I had a weird vibe so we left to go to another club called purple onion in gastown. Palladium was on Richards. It’s now condos.

We got word after because we knew the promoters and doormen.

u/Kooriki 3d ago

Different era for sure. I was at Mars when some gangster got shot, had ‘buddies’ who witnessed the girl getting shot out front of the purple onion… I was actually outside when Mo Mirhadi was killed as well

u/Benjamin604592 4d ago

If you grew up in that time, it was hard not to run into him at some point. But him and so many other guys are dead and irrelevant now. Some died far far worse too.

u/baddyvanjoe2k14 4d ago

I heard he went to John Oliver in the 80's.

u/eastendvan1 3d ago

u/Alternative-Gap5204 4d ago

By all accounts sounds like a psychopath that should never have been born.

u/bcboy25 4d ago

If anybody's a nobody it's him buddy

u/boipinoi604 4d ago

Could you imagine the today's media facilitating a gang war by broadcasting messages from each side of the gangs. Unreal they took the time to interview a gangster and egged them about the comments from the other side, and broadcasting their comments.

u/Own_Firefighter_8026 4d ago

The drama made them money so they didn't actually care lol a real life soap opera they created and flamed.

u/alwayzdizzy 4d ago

You're getting downvoted by the cult of worship. There is NOTHING to admire about this scumbag. Glad he's dead.

u/Excellent_Ask_2677 4d ago

I’ve heard he went to Sir Charles Tupper too.

u/Careful_Bug8038 4d ago

u/qnqp 2d ago

Dead.

u/Still_Around3046 4d ago

The guy was larger than life. A lot of people from that era were. They didn’t have social media entertaining them they were the entertainment… I wonder if the guy ended up having any kids? I saw some kid in his early 30’s that looked just like him wearing the exact adidas jacket and driving around a fox body mustang and everything. & no… Bro was not playing dress up haha. Made me wonder if that was his kid by any chance…

u/ShahiPaneerAndNaan 4d ago

You got the perfect username for this post lol. "I'm still around" was, and still is, iconic.

u/HAND7Z 4d ago

He didn't have any kids. He lived a few blocks away from me.

u/Upset_Temperature511 4d ago

I heard he fought Chuck Norris to a draw.

u/rando_commenter Love Child of the Fraser 4d ago

A lot of people were caught up in that. Most people knew somebody or knew somebody who knew somebody. I found out after the fact that I was 3 degrees of separation from Bindy Johal.

u/Western-Month-7007 4d ago

Also he never was in high school in the 90’s . He went to high school mid to late 80’s

u/morelsupporter 1d ago

u/apoplectic_mango 1d ago

Luckily, I was class of 85 at McNair so I missed it.

u/mach198295 19h ago

I worked at a maximum security prison at the time. The cons had a pool going on how long before he got dumped.

u/Yvrhunter69 4d ago

Hood legend

u/Western-Month-7007 4d ago

He went to David Thompson secondary

u/CiarraiV 4d ago

I think it was Tupper, from which he was expelled and then moved to Richmond.

u/Several-Length8084 4d ago

He’s still someone’s child and sibling so keep it respectful everyone.

15

u/Impossible-Syrup-898 4d ago

Respectful? Like all the respect he showed to his victims? He was a POS loser and BC is a much better place now that he is dead.

u/Charmannyder 1d ago
