Meanwhile there’s a guy with a knife on the loose in Edmonton, Alberta.

I could add that however popular or unpopular the suspect may have been before Sunday, he is now apparently not very popular on the reserve so I wouldn’t think there would be any issues about testimony, from what we’re hearing, a number of people have some evidence to give, as some of the crime scenes include dead, injured, bystanders and late arrivals.

Sad really that in this small isolated location, which is no doubt plagued by a lot of social problems and poverty, the people have to deal with this, and I know, cause and effect, but even so, thinking that many innocent souls were taken or injured by this rampage, and to what purpose?

One of the main themes is that the justice system failed on a large scale here, the main suspect has (from news reports) about 60 prior arrests or incidents and even so, was judged to be safe for release from prison last year, and also, wanted for breach of probation back in May and never apprehended all summer. It is widely seen (in conservative circles at least) as a particularly bad failure of a justice system that has been corrupted by unworkable concepts with relation to native offenders (our version of the BLM debacle).
