Sharpie Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Thirteen people including the shooter have reportedly been killed in a shooting incident in a small town in Nova Scotia. One Mountie dead and one injured . News sort of slow coming out but a tragedy Nova Scotia is not very big so a small town is probably really small.

Midloth_Iain Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Such a quiet, normally peaceful province. I have friends in Truro close to where it happened. Brother lives in southern NS, have been out there a few times, last place on earth I would expect this to happen Horrible 😢 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cade Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Attacker was white, so it'll be a mental health issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Internet Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Doesn't sound like he's randomly lost the plot. He dressed up as a cop and did his car up to look like a police car. Planned and premeditated. Shame he died and won't face the consequences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The consequences in the Canadian Justice system are comfortable quarters with many benefits, and rules that prohibit any severe treatment. If you really behave well an the all the counselling and treatments for your possible mental problems at some time in your life sentence you may get scouted outside privileges an in some cases long timers have ben given paroles.

Sharpie Posted April 20, 2020 Author Share Posted April 20, 2020 Just heard the Mountie on the news regarding progress in this case. He states that they have not yet been able to search the full area , there could be more incidents still to be discovered. I get the impression that he wa one of these police junkies. His car was made to look like an RCMP vehicle, and when found had an RCMP type uniform in the back. My speculation would be that he was travelling around dressed as a mountie, stopping people and subsequently shooting them. Sudden death was too good for him, but assures he won't do it again.

In fairly short order he was allowed escorted leaves, and not a lot later asked and got unescorted leaves. Th public were assured he was not a danger, so was his former wife the mother of the dad children. So far he has not as far as I know done anything bad, but there was no warning of his previous actions either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were on a Greek island cruise Kast June and got friendly with a French Canadian, who had recently retired from the Mounties, and his wife. We dined with them most nights and they were a lovely couple. He never posts on his facebook page but posted a few days ago that he knew the officer killed. Such a tragic waste of lives for no purpose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such a tragic waste of lives for no purpose. Her husband was on TV yesterday he advised that a party was planned for quite soon with their families, there young son was going to be wearing a T shirt with the words I am going to be a big brother, as a way of announcing to the family that she was pregnant. I worked closely with Mounties in my job. We had a combined Port Police, Canada Customs, RCMP drug detection team. I was the nominated Superintendent to coordinate the joint operations. A major drug seizure was made, and the local newspaper published a picture of the team and I was in it with the seizure laid out on a table. The Mounties got that picture and got it developed and framed and presented it to me as a gift. They are all I have met pretty good guys. , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cade Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Canada bans all assault weapons. Buy-back scheme to be put into operation. Police are still looking for a motive but by all accounts the bloke was a wife beating bully with a history of drunken rages. Been buying up ex-police cars at auction for a while, as well as his guns. He'd obviously been planning something for ages. He shot and killed pets and other animals at all of the houses he visited and then set fire to. An absolute monster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
