I have an RCMP friend in Moncton - she's fine, thankfully - so this has had me more than worried.

One week ago our town - Sackville - participated in an EMO exercise where the setting was a shooter at Mt. A campus. Simulated lockdown, death, an out of control fire... and then this happens.

So it's pretty fresh what something like this means not just to the police but a community as a whole.

I drove by Moncton twice today on my way to and from Saint John and even from the highway it was not the Moncton I know and recognize.

What is just totally pizing me off is the people posting police locations on 'social media'. It's people making up fake accounts to make an already emotional situation worse. It's the fact that while these police are putting their lives - obviously - on the line, people are STILL saying $hit about them.

It's easy for all of us, sitting in our homes away from all of this mess to say what we would or wouldn't do or turn it all around into the whole gun debate but the fact of the matter is three police officers - who yesterday put on their uniforms and believed it to be a regular day - are DEAD. They're dead and not going home to their families. They're dead because they dared TO put on that uniform to help keep all of us safe. They couldn't know yesterday was their last day in this world but in the back of their mind, being an officer, they had to know it might happen sometime.

These are people TRAINED to deal with situations that could take their lives, and they STILL ended up having their lives taken anyway, so none of us GET to say how "things would be different if..." because this person obviously had this day in mind for a while.

I personally think this is such a shock to us locally and the country as a whole because things like this AREN'T the normal for us. They just aren't. Oh there is shootings and people killed, sure, but three officers dead, two injured and someone loaded up to DO that job against them? That is not normal.

And it's in New-freakin-Brunswick! Moncton! Until now how many of you outside of the province even knew of a place NAMED Moncton in New Brunswick?

This morning I saw this on CNN's main page and people there were commenting on it as if it happened in the US and a few hinted at Canada "being like" the US. Well I don't WANT us to be like the US. I don't WANT us to be a nation where we are so afraid of every damned person outside our home - or sometimes even in our home - we only feel safe and secure with a firearm. I don't WANT us to be a country that has so little regard for its people that inanimate objects "Trump" people's rights to life.

I don't want us to be a nation that forgets the lives of those involved after the turn of a news cycle and instead focus' on how better to kill our fellow citizens.

I want us to be a nation that mourns the loss of three people who gave their lives to serve and protect. I want us to be a nation of sympathy for the men and women across our land who put on that same uniform and recognize that yes, they were family because only other officers can truly understand what's going on right now. I want us to be a people who come together until all this is over and forget for a moment our stupid issues about guns and focus instead on those who were affected and will need time to recover both mentally and physically.

THAT is the country, nation and people we should be. If we aren't, even for a moment, moved by any of this... then what kind of country and people ARE we...?



There is a lot of woods/parks in the area and I think he knows the area well. There's rumors of his having help too but who knows for sure.

I think he's playing cat and mouse with the police to help further show them his disgust by them, and with the area as populated as it is, the RCMP likely aren't taking risks to shoot unless they're sure it's safe.

I do!! I do!! I was raised in Montreal, PQ, Dalhousie, NB and Cornwall, ON.

I have lots of relatives in NB.

Went to the same school as Ryan Gosling (Giggle Pebbles) and neighbors with Doug Gilmore when he played for the Cornwall Royals.. same as Gretzky.

Death comes home. We all read about the deaths encircling the planet, horrific acts, despicable murders en masse. It's as real as this all over the world. I grew up in a police family. Cops are under a lot of stress these days. I have com passion for thier familys. It's a sign of the times. Maybe he's already been picked up.

WUT!! You read my PM to BornRuff...

I didn't want to post that on the forum and to give this guy any publicity.

It's like the Cop Killer, you see his name all over the Internet, but where are the names of the fallen, the police officers, the heroes who risk their lives.. where are their names?? Where are their photos, and threads about their service and commitment.

Why would I, it's already occupied by you.

Here is my post to that website LOC. :)

TheJackle

Holly smokes a website from a pathetic paranoid loser that is commenting about a country he has never visited. Amazing, people taking this attention whoring troll seriously..

I'm Canadian, but moved to Texas 20 years ago.. I think everyone should have the right to carry and own a gun.. I personally have several and have a concealed carry permit. But the only reason I feel so strongly about gun ownership, is because their are idiots like the owner of this web site out there..

As far as Justin Bourque, well he wants to go out in a blaze of glory. I only wish I was the one to fire that fatal shot and kill this idiot.

Who the **** is going to walk down a residential street in full camouflage carrying rifles.. the guy is about as sideways crazy as the owner of this blog, website..

I want the right to own a tank, good luck with your tiny sidearm, you need armor to squish trouble boy.
Click to expand...

My tiny side arm?? Sorry, do you know what guns I own.. I posted a pic of a new .22 side arm I purchased and you assume that's it..

Also, my tiny side arm can put down an intruder fairly quickly. ;)

Just today, I was at the range shooting my Glock 9mm and Glock .40

I have several high powered rifles that would make Justin Bourque blush.



I go to the range and follow the rules and safety guidelines. I don't walk down a public street flaunting my sidearm or rifles in camouflage.

So you shoot pieces of cardboard. I used to shot real animals, mice birds bobcats horses pigs rabbits foxes deer frogs,I was a top gun before the booze got me. ah yah pigs chickens cows, all bleeding targets, not stupid cardboard. Actual bleeding was involved.
So I take it that you are traine4d to defend yourself against cardboard.

Yup, at the same shooting range as most the Grande Prairie & Arlington police go to shoot at pieces of cardboard.

Which is what I honestly think was the downfall for those 5 officers.. it's must have been difficult for them to consider killing another human. - Hesitation can kill you -

1. O.K. shooting within city limits. Common sense.

2. What, I should go shoot the neighbors dog? I live in a city of 10 million, the deer, moose, bear have all left the city for greener pastures.
