Humans of New York interviews Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh

The Humans of New York blogger is in Bangladesh interviewing Rohingya refugees who are fleeing a human genocide in Myanmar. "This week I’m sharing a series of first hand accounts from Rohingya refugees. The Rohingya are a persecuted ethnic minority who have been violently evicted from Myanmar by Buddhist extremists. Over the past year, nearly 700,000 Rohingya have been driven from their homes and are now residing in refugee camps in Bangladesh. Their living conditions are already dire, and monsoon season is approaching. As we share their stories, we are raising money to help build inexpensive bamboo houses for these refugees. (They are currently living in plastic tents.) Bamboo houses can be built for $600 a piece, and we’ve raised enough for over 400 so far. Please consider donating." This is their Gofundme page.

Canada needs to send peacekeepers to Myanmar.

Police seize another spud gun in Surrey

The Vancouver Sun is reporting that the police seized another spud gun in Guildford along with 50,000 doses of suspected crystal meth. Probably from Blaze's meth head pal that helped hack up Shawn Clary's dead body. Too bad the Surrey RCMP are still watching the fentanyl coming out of Shakerz supplying the Surrey Strip. Makes everything else they do look conflicted.

Toronto police admit to using Stingray cellphone surveillance

Let's give it up for the Toronto Star yo. The Toronto Star is reporting that: "Documents that took more than two years to obtain show that Toronto police have used an IMSI catcher, also known as a Stingray, in investigations ranging from a major drug and gun case to a bank robbery."

"After denying use of the controversial technology, documents obtained by the Star show that the Toronto Police Service has used the cellphone data-capturing device known as an IMSI catcher, or Stingray, in five separate investigations. IMSI catchers capture identifying data from all mobile devices being used in a given location - including, in the context of a police investigation, the data of innocent citizens in the vicinity of the target."

"In December 2015, a Toronto police spokesperson told the Star: 'We do not use the Stingray technology and do not have one of the units.' The documents, which took more than two years to obtain through an access-to-information request and subsequent appeal with the province’s information commissioner, say otherwise. They show that Toronto police used the technology in investigations ranging from a major drug and gun case to a bank robbery to a missing person case, starting in 2010." Now that's investigative journalism.

The Toronto Star had to appeal a freedom of information act request to acquire the documents that proved the police were lying to the public. Big surprise. Kinda like how I had to appeal to the Chief Justice to get a copy of the Pickton transcript covering Dianne Rock's story of being gang raped on the Pickton farm after the publication ban had been lifted. Investigative journalism is more than simply printing every press release the police and CSIS send out. It requires doing some digging to find out if the press releases are true or false.

This Toronto Star report brings us back to BC. If the Toronto Police are lying about using Stingray surveillance, what are the BC Police lying about? They can use those f*cking antennas to listen to your private conversations that aren't even on the phone through your cell phone microphones.

Last year I said hey look everyone, they put up a stingray surveillance antenna outside my house. Some claimed that was just a Yagi antenna not a stingray surveillance and I said WTF do you think that Yagi antenna is connected to? It's the exact same antenna they have outside the East Vancouver courthouse monitoring all cell phone communication there.

Then three months later I'm walking past Surrey Petrial and see the same Stingray Surveillance antenna outside Surrey Pretrial. What the hell do you think that antenna is connected to?



When I was at the Vancouver courthouse covering the John Nuttall trial I was standing beside a reporter who asked me to call them on my cell so they could have my cell number. When I called them it said my call was being rerouted through New Westminster. I checked the number and said yes, that's me. When they reroute a number they have access to encrypted transmissions.

The Snowden movie is now on Netflix. Give it up for Ed Snowden yo.

NDP fail to face the BC Hydro fraud

The Globe and Mail is reporting that "British Columbians will not get a freeze on electricity rates that had been promised by the NDP government, the province's independent utilities regulator has ruled. Instead, rates will increase by 3 per cent in April. The British Columbia Utilities Commission (BCUC) panel found "insufficient regulatory justification" to justify the New Democrats' election promise to keep rates flat, noting that even the approved increase won't cover what BC Hydro needs."

The question we need to ask is why does BC Hydro need more? Two reasons. The most recent reason is the same reason ICBC is in trouble - because the Liberal government extracted dividends from both companies when there was no money for them to collect forcing both companies to borrow money to give to the Liberals so they could balance their fudge it budget.

Recently it was in the news that drastic changes are needed to ICBC because ICBC is in debt. Yet Peter Ross wrote in to the Vancouver Province and pointed out why. ICBC is $1.3 billion in debt because the BC Liberals just took a $1.3 billion dividend from ICBC to fake their budget. That means ICBC is breaking even and the fake emergency has been manufactured through fraud. The same with BC Hydro. The BC Liberals just took a $852 million dividend from BC Hydro that wasn't there. That's why BC Hydro needs more money.

As we have repeatedly said, extracting a dividend from BC Hydro is quite possible if it wasn't for Gordon Campbell's original fraud that created a tsunami of deferred debt based on insider trading. Gordon Campbell privatized the power brokers that sell power to the public company at above market rates. That meant his campaign contributors made and continue to make a fortune through tax fraud and no one is doing anything to stop it. When you know a crime has been committed and you stand by and watch it continue you become criminally culpable in that crime.



Norm Farrell is a local blogger with credibility. Recenly he reposted a blog post he made in 2016 called the Misappropriation of public wealth which once again explains the BC Hydro fraud we keep referring to. BC Hydro has been paying independent power producers almost $5 billion above market value since 2004. 5 billion tax dollars stolen. That's grand theft.

Not long ago Norm Farrell set up a Gofund me page to help him get the word out. The word is out. Something needs to be done to fix the fraud. Hey ho the IPPs gotta go.

This is the exact kind of fraud that created the Greek Finical crisis which was another manufactured emergency. What was public money became private then disappeared.

Montreal woman gets house arrest for killing baby

CBC is reporting that "A Montreal woman who admitted in court to killing her newborn baby was given a 20-month suspended sentence under house arrest." Which isn't surprising given the fact that the Trudeau government supports killing babies. If fact, if you oppose killing babies you can't get government funding any more thanks to JT.

People get all outraged and ask how can a mother kill her child? One also needs to ask, how can a father tell a mother to kill their child? It is what it is. Abortion stops a beating heart. Abortion as a form of birth control is just plain irresponsible. In this case the baby was a new born.

Surrey rat caught with wig

CBC is reporting that "Metro Vancouver Transit Police have caught a man with a Canada-wide warrant and found a stash of suspicious items in his vehicle during a routine patrol. According to police, Albert Edgar Fontaine, 42, was pulled over in the 100 block of 132 Street in Surrey on Feb. 5 because his vehicle did not have proper insurance. Fontaine provided an alias and a fake ID, but officers discovered he had a Canada-wide warrant and took him into custody. After the arrest, it is alleged that numerous knives, a machete, a baseball bat, a wig, ski masks, handcuffs, a set of brass knuckles and a replica handgun were found in the vehicle, according to police. Fontaine's warrant was related to charges of kidnapping and use of an imitation firearm in 2016 in Penticton. He is also a suspended driver who is not allowed to own weapons."

lol the replica handgun was an airsoft pistol according to Global. The machete is pretty nasty but this is obviously just a thugs night out. No real firepower at all. The wig is interesting, It kinda looks like it was for a drag night out yo. The Transit police caught this guy in Surrey because he had expired insurance. He's clearly not a brain surgeon. Too bad the BC gang task force is as compromised as the EPS. Too bad they won't lift a finger to stop the fentanyl coming out of Shakerz supplying the Surrey Strip. Kinda makes all their press releases look fake.

Nanaimo man defrauded women on dating sites

The Vancouver Sun is reporting that "A Nanaimo man, wanted on a Canada-wide warrant for allegedly defrauding women he met on dating websites, was arrested early Thursday morning. Nanaimo RCMP arrested 34-year-old Jordan Shephard after officers located him at 2:30 a.m. sleeping in a car parked outside a motel. Police say Shepherd sought out women between the ages of mid-20s to early 30s on social media and the Plenty of Fish dating website."

"Police said Shepherd would tell women he had lost his bank card or had forgotten it with a family member and ask the women to deposit a cheque — usually between $1,000 to $1,600 — from his company On the Rocks Surveying into their own accounts, and withdraw the corresponding amount for him. After receiving the money, he would disappear before the bank notified the women the cheque did not clear and that his company did not exist."

What a POS. Defrauding women. LOSER.

Salmon Arm Shooting

The Salmon Arm Observer is reporting that "The Salmon Arm RCMP are searching for the suspects who fired a gun at an apartment unit early this morning. At approximately 2:30 a.m. the RCMP received a call complaining shots were fired at a building on First Ave. SW. After arriving on the scene, officers confirmed multiple shots had been fired at an apartment unit, hitting an exterior wall and passing through a window. Two individuals were seen fleeing the scene in a light-coloured compact car."

"No one was injured. RCMP investigators spoke with the individual believed to be the intended target of the shooters. They believe the incident was targeted and related to the local drug trade."

Reno Lee's death was an execution

CBC is reporting that "Crown co-prosecutor Bill Jennings wrapped up his closing remarks Tuesday afternoon in the trial for three men accused in the shooting death and dismemberment of Reno Lee by arguing that the jury should find all three guilty of first-degree murder. Bronson Gordon, Daniel Theodore and Andrew Bellegarde have pleaded not guilty to murdering Lee and committing an indignity to a body. Police believe Reno Lee was killed on April 16, 2015, although they didn't find his remains in a shallow grave on Star Blanket First Nation until later that month. "

CBC is reporting that Reno Lee was murdered for a drug debt. Just like Bob Roth in Alberta. Chad Gordon of Regina was arrested in Edmonton. The Edmonton HAs are dirty as f*ck.

James Riach gets life sentence in Philippines

Kim Bolan is reporting that James Riach has received a life sentence in the Philippines for trafficking cocaine, crystal meth and ecstasy. That's too bad. I liked the Gingerbread man. Kinda bizarre how they refer to him as high profile and the Bacon scum as notorious. James Riach is a lot more notorious than the pig sh*t will ever be.

Obviously I don't support drug trafficking. However, James wasn't as bad as the others. It's like those young girls from Quebec sentenced in Australia for cocaine smuggling. Their life is gone now. Giving them a huge sentence won't stop the people they were working for. Will James Riach's harsh sentence be a deterrent for others to traffic drugs in foreign countries? Perhaps. It's a hard lesson to learn so it is. Crystal meth is a horrible drug.

Jarrod Bacon released early due to typo

I wasn't even going to mention this because pigsh*t is not newsworthy but since the third little piggy is in the news I will comment on it. CBC is reporting that "It was a '7' that was actually supposed to be a '9'. That mistake is now having ripple effects, not just on the life of Jarrod Bacon, but on the public's perception of the corrections system. In 2012, Bacon was sentenced to 12 years in prison, minus time served, for smuggling 100 kilograms of cocaine. He was supposed to serve nine years before being eligible for statutory release. But according to the Parole Board of Canada, that was recorded as seven years instead on a prison document. Because of that, Bacon was released early in February 2017."

"Bacon breached the conditions of his release a few months later and was taken back to prison. His statutory release was revoked. Somewhere along the way, the typo was discovered. Bacon then argued he never should have been released at that time and, therefore, can't be held responsible for the breach. The Parole Board of Canada's appeal division agreed. Bacon is now set to be released on the correct date in June 2018."

You people have got to stop using the word notorious for pig sh*t. Have a little self respect. These clowns are from the suburbs. They aren't from Surrey and they aren't welcome here. The Surrey Six was deplorable. No one here has any respect for any of them at all.

Although Jarrod isn't hated as much as his dead preppy brother or the brainless ork Jamie, his prognosis is not good. He's just a cocky little b*tch that is going to end up dead. In the real hood, he's the kind of guy they shoot first just because he thinks he's all that when he is very far from it.

I would hope that the UN affiliates don't shoot him dead but that's really out of my hands. I would also hope the Hells Angels would stop using him to traffic drugs since he is a heat magnet but that too is out of my hands. If he doesn't stop trafficking drugs I can't see him living very long when he gets out of prison. The only reason he lasted as long as he did is because the police put up a video camera outside his house and gave them 24 police protections. That was insane.

Last year CBC reported that "Jarrod Bacon did not want to be released to a halfway house because he feared his enemies would easily find and kill him." No love lost.

Recently when he was released early by *mistake* he was caught in a strip club with someone who had a criminal record. Everyone speculated that it was Gumby but the police didn't name the person he was with. He took his date to a strip club. Real classy. Those losers trade girlfriends like hockey cards. Like I said before stupid just isn't pretty.

The real villain in this case is his worthless father who encouraged his kids to be involved in the drug trade and financially benefited from it. His father had a good job but greed and materialism took over. He's just another piece of garbage waiting to be flushed down the toilet.

Motorists flocking to Washington state to flee Metro Vancouver gas prices

The Vancouver Sun is reporting that "Motorists flocking to Washington state to flee Metro Vancouver gas prices." That is simply a natural consequence of supply and demand. Normally I refuse to fill up in the US. I'm all buy Canadian. Only buying gas in Canada doesn't support Canada it supports Communist China. Since we let them take over the oil monopoly in Canada they can keep jacking up the prices as much as they want so right now this is the only alternative.

Remembering Bernhard Goetz and The Great Canadian Pharmaceutical Fraud

Most people here probably don't remember Bernhard Goetz but New Yorkers do. Back in the /70's and /80's the subways in New York City were very dangerous. They were full of violent crime and people would get mugged on them all the time. That's why Curtis Sliwa started a volunteer group to patrol the subways to help stop violent crime. Durring that time Bernhard Goetz shot four muggers on the subway and created quite the public stir.

Some saw him as a hero who finally stood up to crime. Others called him a vigilante. Curtis Sliwa and the Guardian Angels rallied to his support. I'm not saying what Bernhard Goetz did was right or wrong. I'm simply saying that is what New York was dealing with at that time period. Times have changed. New York has evolved. We have not. In many ways we have been left behind and our good intentions are what's holding us back.

Years ago a friend from High school who went to law school in New York came back to visit family and said to me you wouldn't recognize New York any more. They have graffiti proof trains and the crime problem doesn't exist any more. New York is safe now. That was hard for me to imagine. I could not conceive of a graffiti proof train in New York nor could I imagine a New York without violent crime. That's what New York was when I was there.

That miraculous transformation is what everyone refers to as the New York model. Most people attribute the success of the New York model to Mayor Giuliani but it really started before that with Mayor David Dinkins. Giuliani delivered the second crucial blow of enforcement that followed up Dinkins committee to investigate police corruption which as we later found out was rampant.

In New York they confronted crack cocaine they didn't promote it. What we are doing is wrong and is the reason the New York model has left us behind. The reason why we are trapped in the vice of harm promotion is because of the Pharmaceutical fraud that engulfs us.

In today's federal budget mention was made of the skyrocketing cost of medication. There is one simple reason for that. The government lets the pharmaceutical companies maintaining rigid drug patents so they can keep jacking the price up as much as they want. That is extortion. We need to promote generic drugs. That is why Barry Sherman and his wife were murdered. He helped provide Canadians with affordable medicine.

The New York Times reported that Daraprim went from $13.50 a Tablet to $750, Overnight. Chemotherapy That Costs $70,000 in the U.S. Costs $2,500 in India.

In 2015 Global reported that "a Canadian drug company bought the rights to two life-saving heart medications. That very day, the price of those drugs, Isuprel and Nitropress, increased by 525 per cent and 212 per cent, respectively." In 2017 Barry Sherman and his wife were murdered.



With regards to harm promotion, let's look at the methadone fraud. I have a source that claims any inmate can get a prescription of up to 200 milligrams of methadone. 30 milligrams is a lot. 200 milligrams is over the top. In support of that claim, the Vice is reporting that "the amount of methadone being prescribed to our country's inmates has gotten out of control."

My source claims the prisons are getting kickbacks from the methadone prescriptions which comes as no surprise since kickbacks are just a part of doing business in that tax paid industry. CTV reported that "A CTV News hidden-camera investigation has uncovered what appears to be a kickback scheme involving pharmacists and drug-recovery houses in B.C."

If we sincerely want to reduce the amount of fentanyl deaths in BC then we need to address the pharmaceutical fraud that is causing them. Then we need to start enforcing the law.

The Black Panther Rocks the Box Office

I saw the Black Panther movie tonight. Michael B. Jordan did an epic job as a villain. I prefer him as a street wise good guy and look forward to seeing Creed II but it was awesome. The character Black Panther first made his appearance in Captain America Civil War.

The Black Panther movie is well done. It's like a futuristic Lion King saga with swag. More importantly, it has a message that ties in with the theme of my book: "I think therefore I am. I feel therefore I act." The struggle between good and evil continues so it does.

When I was in New York back in the /80's I stayed with the Guardian Angels in Harlem at the 155th street Headquarters. Tut was a real life super hero. They called him the New York City secret weapon. Tut had swag. I was very naive back then. I had watched the movie Warriors a million times before I went to New York hoping to see some gang activity. I had also read the Nicky Cruz story Run Baby Run when I was young.

By the time I got to New York most of the gangs were all gone. I saw some Black Panther graffiti in Harlem and I asked the guys what they were. I said are they a gang? No they replied, they're a black power movement. Black power I thought to myself. Sounds good to me. I'm all for equal opportunity. Before I left New York, Tut taught me an important life lesson.

Tut knew I was going to travel around the world with next to no money in my pocket. He put a dollar bill in my hand and said "I'm going to tell you the same thing a wise man once told me. Take a look at that dollar bill. It doesn't say on it how you earned it. It doesn't say whether you were a garbage collector, ditch digger or an executive. Everyone's money looks the same."

Tut said everyone wants a nice flashy job on Wall Street. He said some people are too proud to work. He said no matter where you go you will always be able to find work if you're not too proud to take it." He was absolutely right. When I got to Israel I showed up at the kibbutz office with five dollars in my pocket. The lady was going to send me to one of the nice fancy kibbutz far away and I just shook my head and looked down. I said naw, I don't have enough money for a bus ticket all the way out there. Do you have anything closer?

She couldn't believe I had made it to the other side of the world with only five dollars in my pocket. She asked me what I was planning on doing if I wasn't able to get on a kibbutz. I just shrugged my shoulders and said, I noticed the youth hostel I was staying at was looking for a cook. I'm a chef by trade. I figured I'd be able to work there a while if I didn't get in here. She just shook her head and sent me on my way. It was an amazing experience so it was.

Like everyone else I've had a few setbacks in life. That's just reality. Character is seeing how we carry out a decision after the emotion of making that decision has past. Determination, fortitude - these are the tools that make men great. As Rocky Balboa said, "It's not how hard you can hit in life it's how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward."

In the words of Rare Earth, "I had my hand on a dollar bill and the dollar bill blew away. But the sun is shining down on me and it's here to stay. I put my faith in the people and the people let me down so I turn the other way and carry on any how." As I said before, I think therefore I am. I feel therefore I act. To thine own self be true yo. Keep the Faith.

If I could turn back the hands of time I wouldn't. I rather move forward.

Riding in Vancouver Snow

Well, winter breathes it's last breath. Vancouver got a dump of snow yesterday and overnight. It's actually quite nice. This morning I broke down and decided to try a rope trick I learned from an old timer who used to ride full seasons in Prince Rupert. He said he used to wrap rope around the tires in the snow for make shift chains. Old school trumps No school.

I thought it was a cool idea but I wasn't sure how it would work because if you wrap the rope diagonally across the tire, it wouldn't be very effective for traction. However, today I saw a YouTube video of a guy in Wales who made chains for his car out of a rope. He looped it through so that the rope crossed the tire tread horizontally. That made sense.

Obviously chains are better than rope because rope wears out really fast on dry pavement. I tried it out and it worked very well. Yesterday I had zero traction on the side streets but today I could start without having to sit on my back seat for traction. I actually had traction and I could actually brake. So I spent what's left of the snow bombing around on the side streets testing it out.



Alaska here we come. Mount Denali bound yo.

Zen and the Art of Civil Liberty. The future looks bright.

Overview of the Korean Winter Olympics - Update

I said I wasn't going to report on the Korean Winter Olympics any more because of the OAC corruption but I will say this: Hats off to Norway and Germany. Norway and Germany have led the world with most gold medals. Well done. Although Norway has less population than many of it's larger competitors, they excel in winter sports. Germany's success in the Winter Olympics represents hard work and fine craftsmanship. Something the Germans are well known for.

Germany beat Canada in the men's hockey. We were all "at least is wasn't the Americans." It's great to see Germany take the podium for a change. The US did beat Canada in women's hockey which was heartbreaking for the women but in all fairness the Americans did play well. You can't win all the time. The Canadian Women's team worked hard and did us proud. No doubt they formed lasting friendships and important life skills. There is more to life than winning medals.



In 2010 people claimed the woman's hockey team embarrassed us because after winning the gold medal they celebrated by sharing cigars, champagne and beer on centre ice after everyone had left. AYFKM? There was no disgrace. The mob is fickle and stupid. This year the mob claims one of the members of the Canadian woman's hockey team embarrassed Canada by taking off her silver medal. Give your head a shake. They all did us proud. People are allowed to be human. They were all just about in tears receiving the silver medal after losing the gold. Taking off the silver medal was not rude. It was her way of dealing with the loss.

In 2010 the Canadian Woman's hockey team beat the US in overtime. In 2018 they lost to the US in a shoot out. Either game could have gone either way. All the athletes need to be recognized for their hard work and competence. The person caught DUI in a stolen vehicle was embarrassing. The woman who took off her silver medal was not.

It was nice to see a peaceful event completed despite the CIA's tainted brainwashing. I will also reiterate that banning the Russian flag from the Olympics was stupid. It diminished all of us. Grigory Rodchenkov is dirty as f*ck. Now he's claiming England is next on the chopping block for doping as he sits in his fully paid expensive condo in the US. We need to focus on OAC corruption and promote the next World's fair in their place. That would be more productive.

Update: Russia takes the gold medal in Men's hockey. Well done!



The OAC is corrupt and so is the CIA for spamming the media will bullsh*t about Russia. Dasvidaniya OAC and CIA. In 2017 they played the wrong anthem by mistake. This year they did it on purpose. This is their real anthem. This is their anthem played at Sochi.



Hats off to the host country. Outsider is the worlds fastest rapper and has a wonderful family.

Korean rapper Outsider and American rapper Twista go head to head in Star Warz.



With special thanks to Kim Jong-un for not blowing us all up at the Olympics.

Twista is hopeful about the future and so am I. Peace.

A Salute to Mike Ruppert

When I recently posted an overview of where this blog has been and where it is going, I said when I first started blogging I was a lone voice in the wilderness preaching Gary Webb. However, there was one other - Mike Ruppert. Mike ran a blog From the Wilderness and was a passionate supporter of the Gary Webb story. He died of a suspicious suicide just like Gary Webb.

When the Gary Webb story broke, it went viral. People were outraged. The Director of the CIA held a town hall meeting in LA to do damage control. At that meeting, Mike Ruppert said: "I will tell you Director Deutch that as a former Los Angeles police narcotics detective that the Agency has dealt drugs throughout this country for a long time." He then refers specifically to three CIA Operations: Amadeus, Pegasus and Watchtower. I have written about Watchtower which was confirmed by former US Navy Intelligence Officer Al Martin. Chip Tatum referred to Pegasus.

Mike Ruppert claimed that while he was a narcotics officer in the LAPD the CIA approached him to sell drugs. He refused and when he tried to blow the whistle on that operation he was chased out of the LAPD. History has shown how all whistle blowers undergo character assassination.

Mike Ruppert believed 911 was an inside job. So do I. So do many architects and engineers in the field of controlled demolition. Mike was passionate about many things. I do not believe he committed suicide any more than I believe Gary Webb committed suicide or Dr. Kelly, the British weapons inspector in Iraq that blew the whistle on MI6's false press releases to the media about Iraq's WMD they didn't have. It's pretty easy to fake a suicide note.

The bottom line is that Mike Ruppert was another witness of the CIA's long time involvement with drug trafficking. There have been many others. There are too many witnesses to silence because their testimonies continue to speak out after they have been killed. Crack the CIA.

Shots fired in Vancouver

CBC is reporting that "Vancouver Police are investigating a shooting in the Langara area Thursday night. They were called to Cambie Street and West 48th Avenue around 8:30 p.m. for reports of shots fired. There were no reports of injuries, although a business on the other side of Cambie Street sustained what appeared to be a bullet hole through its window."

Luc Leblanc sentenced to 14 years for cocaine trafficking

The Telegraph Journal is reporting that Luc LeBlanc from New Brunswick has been sentenced to 14 years in prison for conspiring to import cocaine after he recruited a couple to smuggle 16 kilos of cocaine into Canada from Texas in their RV. He was found guilty October 2017.

Lisa Dudley's Police negligence suit dismissed over time limits

CBC is reporting that "A B.C. judge has dismissed a claim for damages from Lisa Dudley's mother, saying she was out of time under the statute of limitations. Rosemarie Surakka alleges her daughter died because of negligence by an RCMP officer who went to check up on a report of shots fired in Mission, B.C,. on Sept.18, 2008, but didn't get out of his car or interview neighbours. Four days later, Dudley was found alive but later died. Her partner, Guthrie McKay, was already dead at the scene." This case is one complete tragedy.

The first thing I'd like to point out is that the police did not shoot Lisa. Police received a call of shots fired. A single cop is sent to investigate and doesn't even get out of his car. That's two mistakes right there. They should have sent more than one officer and he should have got out of his car and knocked on the door. Had he got out of his car he might have noticed signs of a forced entry requiring further investigation. He might not have.

There is no doubt that if the officer knew there was any victims let alone a living victim, he would have called it in. To think that she was tied to a chair and mortally wounded for four days before she died is absolutely heart breaking. Jack Woodruff, the guy that shot her, is a complete piece of garbage with a history of violence against women.

Contract law is pretty cut and dry when it comes to time limits. Yet the judge does have discretionary powers to hear a complaint filed after the time limits has expired. This is one case where they should have. The mother did not have legal council at the time and had no idea she could sue for negligence while she was grieving and obviously had no prior knowledge of any time limit restriction. The intent of the law would allow this application to proceed.
