“Better known as “Bird”, William Hines was one of the most senior members of the Head Hunters motorcycle club and revered in New Zealand’s gang world.“His death was marked by family and friends paying respects to the “OG” (Original Gangster) on social media today and his tangi is anticipated to be the largest gang funeral in New Zealand history. #HeraldPremium”
Bird’s legacy is a tapestry woven with complexities. As a senior figure in the Head Hunters, his presence commanded respect and wielded influence across New Zealand’s gang subculture. Yet, his narrative extended beyond the conventional perception of a gang leader.
His involvement in crime, notably in leading a methamphetamine syndicate, led to a lengthy 17-year prison sentence. However, the Parole Board’s decision to grant him an early release on compassionate grounds painted a multifaceted portrait of Bird. This act hinted at a dimension of his character that inspired empathy, challenging perceptions of those involved in motorcycle club leadership.
