The Milperra Massacre, Milperra bikie shoot-out or Father's Day Massacre was a firearm battle between rival motorcycle gang members on 2 September (Father's Day in Australia) 1984, in Milperra, a south-western suburb of Sydney, New South Wales. The shootout had its roots in an intense rivalry that developed after a group of Comancheros broke away and formed the first Bandidos Motorcycle Club chapter in Australia. Seven people were killed and twenty-eight injured when the two groups clashed at Milperra. The event was a catalyst for significant changes to gun laws in New South Wales....from Wikipedia.
I recently finished reading Enforcer, the autobiography of former bikie 'Caeser' Campbell. Campbell was the sergeant-at-arms of the Comancheros and later the founding member and sergeant-at-arms of the Bandidos.
'Caeser' Campbell was a key player in the Milpera massacre, as were his brothers "Shadow", "Bull", "Wack", "Snake" and "Chop". Shadow and Chop were both shot dead at Milpera and Wack would later die in jail, probably as a result of wounds received at Milpera.
Amongst other things, the book covers in detail the splitting of the Comancheros motor cycle club and the eventual shootout at Milpera. This book is a must read for anyone with even a passing interest in outlaw bikers, and in particular the Milpera Massacre.
