Justice Denied

The other day I was driving back to Surrey from Abbotsford and I saw a huge sign at the side of the freeway that brought a smile to my face. Instantly I knew who put it there and it wasn’t me. There’s an activist from Aldergrove who is big on signs and T-shirts. He made the big recall Wally Oppal sign on a flatdeck and showed up at several local rallies with signs that said Judges are the Problem. He even made several T-shirts about judicial failures in BC including his 100% Contempt for BC Judges.

This particular activist got involved with a local group striving for judicial reform. That group is passionate about correcting the problem and is striving to be politically correct in it’s approach. Once in a while he gets frustrated and goes off on his own and makes a new sign. I applaud his work. They started off with property theft. A huge theft spree in their community was committed by one or two people and they all knew who it was. The judges kept giving him a slap on the wrist and letting him reoffend. Jamie Pool I believe was his name.

It’s not hard to see and understand their frustration. The VPD put out a video about chronic offenders. How the more crimes they commit the less jail time they serve. Kind of the direct opposite of what one would normally expect. The situation is so bad that the VPS came up with a 30 strikes and you’re out as opposed to the three strikes program in the States. As it stands the situation is pathetic. They came out with the recall Wally Oppal sign because he said everything was fine with the BC Judicial System. Not.

I heard him speak at the public safety rally in Port Moody where the public expressed their concerns about a rash of gang shootings in their neighborhood. His position was that judges are the problem. The panel kind of gave him the rolly eyes to which he responded these people commit crime and the judge keep letting them go, how is that not the judges problem?

Some people rationalize the situation and claim it’s not the judge’s fault it’s the laws that need to change and those laws are federal. Yet Ontario has the same laws that we do and they don’t have the same problem with judicial dysfunction. Clearly he does have a valid point. Many of the judges in BC are horrible and we have no mechanism in place to get rid of bad judges. Peter Leask is a prime example. I heard “they” didn’t let him do criminal cases any more. Then “they” are admitting there was a problem with his ridiculous decisions.

Right now the biggest judicial failure in BC is the Jamie Kehoe case. The police have the suspect and they have witnesses. We even have a body that he did murder by slitting his throat with a knife. Yet the police let him go because the crown thought there was a chance they might not get a conviction. Not proceeding with that trial is the most evil and criminally negligent act in the history of this province. There simply is no excuse for that. Just like if they don’t proceed with charges against the man who got out of his car and stabbed Kyle Yellowbird. God help them if they don’t proceed with charges in that case. That innocent blood will be on their hands.

It means Canada is a place where justice is denied and our friend is quite right. Every unjust sentence, or in this case every unjust failure to proceed with charges, bullies the victim. Losing a child is a horrible thing to experience. Denying justice prevents the healing process. The Laura Szendrei murder was a horrible tragedy. It would have been equally outrageous if the crown didn’t proceed with charges in her murder. Even then we had a suspect who showed no remorse for the murder and had a high likelihood of reoffending.

The ridiculous consequences in Canada for violent crime like murder and rape is a separate issue. We can’t even get the crown to proceed with charges so the accused murderers can get a slap on the wrist. Instead the crown gives the families of the victim and public safety a slap in the face. That diminishes all of us. Letting Katherine Quin free after her documented involvement in orchestrating the murder of Matthew Martins was another human tragedy. That's why Wally Oppal was fired as AG and why he should not have presided at the missing woman inquiry. He couldn't see the forest through the trees. Either that or he deliberately hid it. Which again re instills our friend's claim that the Revolving doors makes judges accomplices. Just as it does when crown fails to proceed with charges because they think they might not succeed.

Mining company fires Hells Angels

We’ve heard a lot about the Hells Angels drug related violence in Winnipeg, Saskatoon and Fort McMurray. We’ve also heard how many of them are employed in the potash industry there. Well one potash mining company has finally taken the bold new step of denying employment to anyone who is a member of the Hells Angels. This is a step forward.

The Charter of Rights protects the freedom of association. That means you are free to join any religion, political party or trade Union that you want to. It does not include the right to commit crime and belong to a criminal organization. The nest step would be to get them out of the docks as longshoremen. Criminal org checks should be done just like criminal record checks.

Spy Drone Turkey Shoot

Well this is refreshing news. A small town in Colorado east of Denver has come up with a brilliant idea in response to the Domestic Drone Wars. Since spying on Americans is illegal and violates the constitution, the town of Deer Trail is proposing to offer Drone hunting licenses and offer a bounty for anyone who shoots down an US Spy Drone on American soil. It’s about time.

The fact that the US government has relaxed FAA restrictions regarding the overflight of drones in U.S. airspace to spy on U.S. citizens is absolutely astounding. That kind of lawlessness needs to be addressed. Welcome to the wild wild west. Time for a turkey shoot. Hey does that mean we get to shoot CSIS if we catch them breaking the law too? Please advise.

Harper is spying on Canadians

MSN news is reporting that critics are urging the Harper government to lift the veil that shrouds Canada's electronic eavesdropping agency in the wake of an overseer's report that suggests ordinary Canadians may have been illegally spied on.

No kidding. Harper created a new agency whose mandate is to violate the Charter of Rights and spy on people without a warrant and shares that information with CSIS who were responsible for the Air India bombing. Concerning since it was Harper and his people who banned a University student from attending one of his speaking engagements during the election because she posted a picture of herself with another candidate. How did they know she did that? They were illegally monitoring her.

South of the border, the Obama administration has been embroiled in a controversy over the collection of thousands of Internet communications by Americans, under the guise of fighting terrorists. On Wednesday, documents were released by U.S. intelligence officials after a court ordered the National Security Agency to stop the practice of gathering information from Americans who have no connection to terrorism.

Concerning as well since Glen Beck broke the news that Obama and the IRS were targeting groups like the Tea Party and other radical groups that supported the constitution and putting unrealistic restrictions on them. That puts spying under the guise of terrorism into a whole new perspective. It is a violation of their oath of office to preserve and protect the constitution from all enemies both foreign and domestic.

Surrey man facing gun charges

The Surrey Leader is reporting that “a Surrey man is custody facing several charges related to the seizure of a cache of weapons. The 42-year-old was arrested on Aug. 21 at his home in the 10400-block of 140B Street.” Numerous firearms were seized including suppressors and body armor. Ten of the 11 guns seized had their serial numbers removed.

Although the man hasn’t been named yet since charges are pending, the accused, who is currently prohibited from possessing firearms for life, has previous convictions for a variety of property-related crimes, driving offences, drug offences, and firearms offences.

Kerri-On Update

Dez Osborn supports the Edmonton Hells Angels

On a matter of personal privilege, this is a picture of Jesse James Langevin and Dez Osborn. That is a true statement. On a matter of personal privilege, this is a picture in support of the Edmonton Hells Angels 15th anniversary that was found on Dez Osborn’s publically available facebook.



On August 1 2013 the Edmonton Journal reported that Jesse James Langevin was charged with possession for the purpose of trafficking in Edmonton’s largest ever cocaine bust.

The above statements are all true. Be advised that false allegations of slander constitute slander. Dez Osborn has a lawyer. Big deal. I have gone up against a dozen over paid corporate lawyers on the free speech issue many times in the past. The law is clear.

I most certainly am not afraid of a used car salesman pretending to be a lawyer that doesn’t have a court order. He doesn’t even have a court application. He just has a letter making a false statement that needs to be addressed. I have the Charter of Rights and the God given, unalienable right to free speech. That is what people go to war for to defend. I am legally liable for what I say. Violating the Charter of Rights is illegal.

Show me a court order that states I am not allowed to say Jesse Langevin was arrested for possession for the purpose of trafficking and Dez Osborn supports the Edmonton Hells Angels. Show me a court order that states I am not allowed to say that. No such order exists because it would be illegal. Censorship is a serious offense. Especially when it is based on false allegations.

Surrey Six trial moved to Vancouver

CTV is reporting that one of the Surrey Six trials has been moved from New Westminster to Vancouver next month. The one without Jamie Bacon. The one involving Cody Rae Haevischer, Mathew Johnston and Quang Vinh Thang Le. Perhaps they didn’t like the picket signs in New West. Like we haven’t picketed Vancouver courts before.

Nevertheless, as I previously said, since there are so many overlapping cases involving the Surrey Six going on at once I don’t see the publication ban being lifted until it’s all over so I won’t be covering it. I don’t want to do anything to screw it up. I don’t care who IHIT slept with. Getting some accountability for that horrific murder is paramount.

I do encourage people to attend the trial though. If the public and the press don’t attend the trial they won’t know what to report when the publication ban is finally lifted. That trial is going to be long and tedious and I don’t have the time to cover it. It would be nice to shake Anton’s hand.

I think Sophon Sek is being tried separately as well. The whole thing is one big mess. Wasn’t Mathew Johnston the one that kicked Robert Thomas’ ass in prison? That was rather surprising. I guess he was able to collect from Team Bryce for that one. Who knows, maybe Thomas took a dive and split the reward money with him. Team Giles always does the creep.

12 year old selling crack in Winnipeg

Six people face charges of cocaine trafficking including a 12 year old boy after a house was raided in Winnipeg on Wednesday which resulted in the seizure of crack cocaine and drug paraphernalia. A 33-year-old woman, a 28-year-old woman, an 18-year-old man, a 17-year-old boy and a 16-year-old girl are all facing drug-related charges. The 12-year-old boy did not live in the home and was not related to any of the other suspects. Bobbi Lynn Lund, 33 of Winnipeg and Diana Dawn Catcheway, 28 also of Winnipeg are the two adults charged. The other youths can’t be named under the young offenders act.

So selling crack in Winnipeg. That would have most likely come from one of two sources: the Rock Machine or the Hells Angels. Since the Rock Machine in Winnipeg are all in jail I guess that just leaves the obvious. The Hells Angels crack ring tied to the Zig Zag crew that Deli and Sean Wolfe were busted for and continued under the next chapter president Dale Sweeney who was also convicted of cocaine trafficking for the Hells Angels in Winnipeg.

Using a 12 year old kid to sell crack is complete low life. That’s the US crack epidemic in the /80’s all over again. That is predators exploiting kids. Just like the kid on a bicycle in Kelowna who recently sold 17 year old Marissa Ginter the bad ecstasy which turned out to be heroin that killed her. The predators recruit kids to sell drugs to other kids and profit from that exploitation. Using two older women to recruit and exploit kids sounds an awful lot like Kitt Alwood in Prince George. The predators change but the suppliers don’t.

Fatal stabbing in Surrey was senseless rage

I drove by the site of the fatal stabbing in Surrey tonight. A memorial was set up for the person who died. Kyle Xavier Yellowbird. 21 years old with his whole life ahead of him taken for no reason. A grizzly trail of blood up to the memorial marks his last few steps. This wasn’t gang related. It was a senseless act of violence. Road rage. Stabbing someone with a knife is not an act of self defense.



A group of youths were crossing the road and a silver Honda civic raced by almost hitting them. The 17 year old Cory exchanged words with the driver. The driver got out of his car and stabbed him three times. Kyle came to his friends aid and was stabbed once right in the heart.

I spoke with his parents. Wonderful people. Understandably filled with shock and grief. I spoke with another youth who saw what happened. He heard a conflict and came out to help. His mother came out and Kyle died in her arms. The two mothers tearfully embraced and shared a heart wrenching sorrow.

Jesse Cadman, Michael Levi, Jamie Kehoe and now Kyle Yellowbird. Good and evil still exist. The senseless violence is hard for a parent to bear. The assailant drove off in a silver Honda civic. Some of the other kids kicked in the door to mark the car after the stabbing. If you see a silver Honda civic with damage on the driver’s door, call it in.



We need to start getting plate numbers. I know it’s hard when things happen so fast. When people are stabbed and when bullets start flying people duck for cover. Yet if we are going to address this kind of violence in our community we need to condition ourselves to get plate numbers. That is the only was public violence will stop. When offenders realize the community will report it.

Update: I understand that the police have the car and a person of interest. Let's hope the crown doesn't drop the ball like they did in the Jamie Kehoe murder. That was absolutely disgusting. In that case they had the suspect and witnesses wiling to testify but crown didn't proceed because they thought they might not get a conviction. Failing to proceed with those charges was a horrific crime all in itself.

Update: There was a memorial on Sunday. Very heartfelt. They wrote messages on balloons and released them. It was very profound. Kyle is well loved. This is a video of the balloon release.
