Living 50km from Regina hasn't posed a problem in the rural areas(here anyway) by "these" guys. We have a Reserve not far east of us as well...maybe 40kms. No problems and no rumours of problems with this group either....seem to be a well behaved bunch!

Drugs, alcohol, too much idol time, no goals or work is bad for anyone. Kind of hard to make a comment when I'm not exposed to it or have never lived it. I believe it will get better but the pain and inconvenience of getting there will be tough. This will take generations because it took that long to create the dysfunction. Break the cycle...we all want a better life for our children than we had. I truly believe the pendulum is coming back from extreme but that is easy for me to say when I'm not exposed to whats mentioned here!

RD414 and Wilton Ranch explained the situation very well in a previous post
My question is, why the racism card when someone is protecting his family let alone his private property and lively hood?????
It does not matter if the trespassing people were white , black , First Nation , purple , pink , blue whatever - I am one that is so sick of this racist card all the Fukin time - it's bad people all any Color

That last post should read , "people of any colour or race terrorizing innocent people on their own property . "

This is not a bleeding heart comment but ..... as with anyone, until the "cause" is treated and not the "symptoms", the symptoms will persist. The cycles of poverty, alcohol and drug abuse, dependance, dysfunction, low selfworth/self-esteem, feelings of entitlement, lack of pride and care in ownership of granted homes. How do you untangle the twisted mess? Efforts to create opportunity off Reserve exist through college and trades schools, we just need more uptake. It will change, and is, let's not paint them all with the same wide brush because of the hoodlums. Instead of paying them to stay on Reserves pay them to get educated....in the "long" run it will pay dividends.

Why is there this perception that if your booze cruising in the country after going to the lake, the closest welfare office is the nearest farm yard? Call CAA if you have vehicle trouble and I don't care what color your skin is, stay the **** out of my yard.

Must have been a Goodyear sign in the driveway?

Reminds me of S. Africa. It must be very scarey, with small children and youngsters. How do you know how violent these carloads of thugs are? Ould they think it funny to go to the house for cash? When we lived on the farm, we never had reason to worry, but I was always prepared to defend - or I thought I was. Cops were an hour away - what help was that? Farmers gotta get smart, maybe better to phone your neighbour and set up a sting. If next time they drove into a farmers yard they had the crap scared out of them, they would think twice about farm shopping. No prejudice here, but any carload of drunks or hoods is a danger, white ones, black or well-tanned, and farma, I agree about the education. I have a full first-nation friend who went through university on hockey scholarships in US and is a golf pro today. Nicest friend you could ask for. Educated, well-read and a happy, highly respected guy.

Why doesn't someone post screen shots of this person's Facebook page with what is supposed to be outrageous. It might be an eye opener for some, if it exists. I would imagine that it has been disabled or deleted by now anyway. Most likely will be replaced with church pictures and stories of helping the community and battling back from years of oppression from the colonial regime.

All neighbors here now on speed dial , we are all looking for suspicious vehicles and or characters . Like I said before camera systems getting set up - so direct to phones . Also anything that needs to be reported is relayed right to police now.
We have a few rural officers that we can call on their cell phone directly . They have been very good to work with when their hands are not tied .
I had a native trying to break into my place last fall - I was home , I directly phone our local police lady on duty - she was here fairly quickly. Luckily for the native he never got into my house.
Within minutes of her arrival there was 3 cars and two trucks.
This is a very best case senairio tho , I was home , there was only one thug, and police were 4 miles away at anouther farm trying to catch this same guy that attempted a break in and did some vandalism at my neighbors an hr earlier.
That could have got very ugly , thank god he did not break my door in .
Worse case scenario would have been a quick break in , and police 15-20 min away. I would not hesitate to protect my family and home .
They are not looking to sell cookies at 4 am ........

Problem here now is nobody wants to talk to media and give their name . No name , no story was what Jason Warick at StarPhoinix told me . Native lady who is friends with a business person in North Battleford told them to tell people to be awfully careful whos names are out there right now. They have threatened the person who started the Go Fund Me page and have promised to burn out the Stanleys house. For some reason, there were cops sitting at all 3 entrances to town of Biggar yesterday. Don't know how late they stayed there. Told Warick he should try and find the root of the problem, find out why very level headed, non confrontational people are willing to donate up to 1000 dollars on the Stanleys fund me page for this terrible event. Also told him, as much as this donating might repulse him, it does not make all these people wrong or racist. He said the story is about Colton and Jerry right now, rest didn't pertain to story today. The fund me page got pulled last night again but was up to 15000 dollars. Hopefully someone within the RCMP will have to explain their no pursuit policy. Cant give local sergeant more men and resources, he will just post more cars at the four way stop in the middle of town to catch little old ladies drifting thru the stop and send out another radar trap. He likes the speed traps. Colten Boushies face book page quote was copied from a song so that meant nothing.
