Saskatchewan stabbing spree suspect Myles Sanderson dead after highway pursuit
National Post [Canada] ^ | Sept. 7, 2022 | Alec Salloum

Posted on 09/08/2022 7:49:24 AM PDT by canuck_conservative

Sanderson was taken into police custody on Highway 11 north of Saskatoon after police caught up to a stolen truck and forced it off the road. He later went into medical distress and was transported to hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

A source close to the investigation said police believe Sanderson took drugs before he was arrested and overdosed while in custody. He was alive when arrested and then went into distress....

Police say a knife was found in the truck, but an initial search found no drugs in the vehicle or in Sanderson’s possession.

Sanderson was charged with three murders, attempted murder and break-and-enter. RCMP previously indicated more charges were possible as the investigation continues.

Damien Sanderson was also facing murder charges related to the killings. According to Blackmore, all witness accounts collected thus far indicate that it was only Myles who was “responsible,” but Damien is still facing charges at this time.

Article content “Our indications at this point in time were that it was Myles Sanderson,” she said. “Our investigation, as I said, continues to evolve.”

Myles was believed to have been injured either during or after the attacks, but police could not confirm this detail....

Sanderson had an extensive criminal record with a history of violence, including uttering threats to assault or kill members of James Smith Cree Nation. Among those that Sanderson threatened and assaulted was Earl Burns, who was stabbed in 2015 by Sanderson, and ultimately killed during the spree on Sunday.

Article content For stabbing Burns in January 2015, Sanderson was sentenced to two years less a day in jail.

Sanderson had numerous charges of assault against one woman, identified through court documents to be the mother of his children, several times over a 10-year period...

59 arrests, yet he was released

he was serving a 4-year-term in prison for violent assault, but the Parole felt releasing him last spring would be "good for the community"

then he was re-arrested again, and released again

a whole lot of incompetent justice-system workers have a lot of explaining to do

Either that or he was brought to within an inch of his life by beating or some other means.

I think they were judge, jury, and guess what? They knew who he was. One rogue cop or 2 alone with him. Save a lot of money that could go for single-payer health care. Pretty efficient wouldn’t you say?

The mounties might’ve given him a “tune up” at the time of arrest. Or he knew he was going down permanently for his crimes and chose to exit reality rather than be locked up for life.

I guess Trudeau will now hold a candle light vigil and invite people to bring teddy bears and wreaths.

I suspect they are simply following orders from much higher up the food chain.

That’s what these spree killers often do. Cowards.

Sounds like serial killer Leonard Lake. When arrested and taken into custody he took a hidden cyanide pill rather than face justice.

Hmm, it's almost as if the people in charge didn't care about his tendency to do the same thing over and over again. They still had a naive assumption that he was a genuinely good-natured dude after all those offences.

You're the person in charge, and your government is the repeat offender.

The cogs in the system do what their political overlords demand.

Blaming a parole officer for a political decision to release a violent felon who has NOT served their full sentence is like blaming a kid for being fat who is only served McDonalds at every meal.

Almost 3 decades of hard-won experience and prior to the BLM/Antifa movement I always believed there was a pendulum that swung to one side or the other, but never too far either way.

It is now broken. We have moved the center very far to the left in most of the nation.

It will take a decade or longer to fix the criminal justice system in our nation and its being made worse by other factors such as the border, fentanyl, the homeless crisis/mental health, and now a collapsing economy.

Remember that a lot of “crime” can be linked to addiction that leads to “drug babies”. The increased drug abuse means another generation of young adults who are behaviorally challenged because their brains were damaged in utero and their early childhood sucked. We are still suffering the results of “crack babies” and now we have “meth babies” and soon it will be fentanyl babies.

Big pharma is also contributing as we have become a nation flush with psychotropic medication and nobody really knows how this impacts a fetus, young child in development, or teen/young adult. We are living with a generation of young adults who have been treated with SSRI medications that benefited big pharma and the teachers unions with long term damage to kids.

If you learn the story of most people in our prison system you will find a lot of the above - especially in the repeat offenders who cannot even last a few months on the outside.

We are also beginning to see the impact of very potent marijuana onto society that is quite popular with young people and young pregnant mothers despite its impact on brain/behavior development. Talk to psychologists or psychiatrists who treat those “involuntarily committed” for evaluation.... it’s real! This ain’t the hippie lettuce of the 70’s and it is presenting as schizophrenia and even psychosis.

I don’t see any reasons for optimism about “crime”.

Almost by definition they’re cowards. Selfishness is a way of life with them.

Thank you for your post which actually contains very worthwhile contributions to the issues posed by this event. Narcotizing socierty (which in truth began in the 60’s) combined with liberals making certain ethnicities specially ‘protected classes’ for reasons that range from crass ballot hunting to real psychological disorganization that amounts to racial self hatred by liberals are two powerful factors pushing us into a weaponized conflict society that will end either in armed chaos or dictatorship. Liberals seem to have no perception of this and when it is brought up in a public context they simply start screaming and yelling rather than let the topic be discussed.

“He later went into medical distress”

Sounds like the Canadian cops dispensed a little street justice there.

Yes, “efficient.” Sounds familiar...

No tears for him. But police, restraint and dirt bags have been adversaries for some time. This is not the first such dirt bag, and won’t be the last. If “rogue cops” get a tacit green light in this case, there’ll be more. “Efficient” has ended badly before, too.
