Timeline

1949

Mario Parente (born 1949) is a Canadian outlaw biker and gangster, mostly noted for serving as the Canadian national president of the Outlaws Motorcycle Club between 2000 and 2009.

Parente was born in Hamilton, Ontario into a working-class family of Italian immigrants.

Parente was born and grew up in the "lower" part of Hamilton under "the Mountain" as locals call the Niagara Escarpment.

"Lower" Hamilton is generally considered to be a poorer area than "upper" Hamilton.

1967

As a teenager, he joined the Hamilton chapter of Satan's Choice Motorcycle Club in 1967.

The majority of the people in Ontario in 1967 were Protestants of British descent, and Parente stood out in the Hamilton chapter on the account of his Italian heritage, which he sought to turn to his advantage.

Parente dislikes the name Mario, which he considers to be effeminate, and prefers to be called Mike.

Parente's first conviction came shortly after he joined Satan's Choice.

Parente was convicted of assaulting a police officer, whom he saw beating a man who was already in handcuffs, leading Parente to attack the policeman.

Parente has frequently worked as a construction worker, as a welder and as a bouncer.

Parente's biographer, the journalist Jerry Langton wrote about the differences between Parente and his rival Walter Stadnick: "While nobody has ever tracked down a legitimate job held down by Stadnick (and I have spent many hours trying), Parente had worked in construction and welding and regularly served as a bouncer at some of Hamilton's most notorious bars and strip-joints. It was a profession that put him head-to-head with Hamilton's street toughs and members of such esteemed local organizations as the Ball-Peen Hammer Boys. And he always came out on top".

1969

By 1969, Parente was widely viewed as the toughest member of the Hamilton chapter.

The policeman Carl MacLeod stated: "Parente would eventually achieve the exalted reputation among bikers of having a special patch which meant he had either been charged for murder or had a murder conviction to his perverted credit".

In 1969, MacLeod raided the clubhouse of the Hamilton chapter, becoming involved in a tense confrontation with Parente and eight other bikers that only ended when police back-up arrived.

1970

By the 1970s, Parente had risen to become the chapter president.

For a time, he was friendly with his future enemy Walter Stadnick, but the two fell out when Parente vetoed Stadnick's attempt to join Satan's Choice on the grounds he was too short.

1972

Detective Sergeant John Harris, a Hamilton policeman who first encountered Parente in 1972, stated: "Unlike a lot of guys, as soon as we started noticing him in Satan's Choice, he'd talk to us. Always had something to say, usually tried to be funny... He got into fights, and could sometimes be confrontational... He had this huge mop of black hair and a big, Long Beard. He kind of looked like Rasputin".

Harris commented on the intense Italianness of Parente, saying "Parente looked Italian, acted Italian".

Harris stated that Parente was usually jovial and friendly in his dealings with the police.

He added: "One of the things I noticed about him early on was that he was always trying to improve himself, to educate himself. He always wanted to be more eloquent; and if he learned a new word, you could tell because he would use it over and over again in conversation until he found a new one".

Parente developed a negative view of most policemen, calling them "bags of shit", but expressed much respect for Harris, despite him being on the other side of the law.

Harris was a huge 6'7 man who once played football for the University of Minnesota and was described by Langton as "the biggest, most intimidating cop I've ever seen".

Despite his respect for Harris, Parente stated that he could be "more physical than he had to be at times".

Harris stated: "If you want to get on his good side, call him Mike; he hates being called Mario".

1976

In 1976, the Satan's Choice national president Bernie Guindon was imprisoned for drug charges, leading Garnet "Mother" McEwen to become the new national president.

1977

On 1 July 1977, McEwen together with a number of Satan's Choice chapters "patched over" to join the Outlaws Motorcycle Club.

Parente and the Hamilton chapter chose to join the Outlaws.

Harris stated Parente became more self-confident after he "patched over" to join the Outlaws.

Harris stated: "He was always willing to talk to you, no matter what the situation was like when he was with Satan's Choice. But once he became an Outlaw, he really worked on his personality and he started speaking for the club. He was their spokesman... He was on his bike all the time. And he wore a lot of jewelry. Not just the Harley stuff all the other guys wore, but always things with the Outlaws logo on them; he was very proud to be part of the club".

Parente had a reputation in underworld circles as a tough leader.

The journalists Julien Sher and William Marsden called Parente the "seemingly invincible leader" of the Outlaws, who never lost a fight.

Detective Harris stated: "Mario wasn't the smartest guy in the business, but he had all the nerve. A lot of guys act tough, but he was the one who would do everything he promised to do".

One piece of jewelry Parente wore had the initials GLGC (Good-Looking Guys Club), which is an informal name the Outlaws use to describe themselves.

Three Hamilton men, namely Lloyd Blaquierre, Michael Bierce, and Freddie Weise had been looking to join the Satan's Choice Hamilton chapter and after the "patch over" found themselves unable to join the new Outlaw Hamilton chapter because they were black.

Harris recalled: "The Outlaws said it was whites-only and they had to abide by that. So those guys were out; you could be Jewish or Mexican, but you just couldn't be black".

Weise, Bierce, and Blaquierre formed the No-Name Motorcycle Club, better known as the "Not So Good-Looking Guys Club".

Harris stated that Parente and the rest of the Outlaws continued to associate with the Not So Good-Looking Guys Club but "they sure didn't like that name".

The club ended when Weise, Bierce, and Blaquierre beat a man to death and dumped his body into Hamilton harbor, leading to their convictions and the club being disbanded.

2009

In a 2009 interview, Parente gave his reasons for joining Satan's Choice in 1967 as: "Be free. Ride the bike. That's it. And being with a bunch of individuals that wanted to help each other out".

Despite being Italian-Canadian, Parente chose as his biker name "The Wop" in an attempt to turn a pejorative term into an affirmative one.
