Surrey shooting and homicide plus golf accident



Global is reporting that there was another shooting last night on highway one. "Langley RCMP said the incident happened around 10:30 p.m. Wednesday when the driver of a white Jeep SUV was driving westbound near 192 Street. A police investigation has so far found that shots were fired from a 1994 or 1995 four-door black Acura into the Jeep while both vehicles were travelling westbound on Highway 1 between 200 and 102 streets. The driver of the Jeep was able to drive to the area of 96 Avenue and 176 Street and wait for help before being taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries. Reports say he was hit in the leg." News 1130 is reporting that "Soon after investigators were able to track down the suspect vehicle."

The Peace arch News is reporting that "The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team is on scene after a dead body was found following a fire in Surrey overnight." The fire was in the 12300-block of 112A Avenue in the Bridgeview area of Surrey just before 1 a.m. Police reported that the male “died under suspicious circumstances and the cause of the fire has also been deemed suspicious. Officers have taken one individual into custody.”

On the lighter side, the Times Colonist is reporting that "A 60-year-old Ladysmith man is recovering from a gunshot wound to his leg after he was hit while playing golf. Nanaimo RCMP said the man was just finishing up a round at about 4:30 p.m., Thursday, Aug. 31, at a Lantzville golf course when he felt a sudden pain in his calf muscle. A group of golfers came to his aid and helped him off the course. The injured man then drove himself home. Later, he visited a Ladysmith hospital where X-rays revealed a bullet lodged in his calf. The bullet was removed and the wound dressed. The injured man is expected to make a full recovery."

"Mounties later fanned out to speak with residents living near the golf course. They had heard reports of sporadic gunshots throughout the afternoon. It’s now believed that the man was hit by an errant shot fired by one or more people practice shooting from an adjacent rural area. Investigators do not believe the wounded man was targeted. However, police strongly cautioned shooting a firearm within 100 metres of any building is illegal. Also, a basic rule of gun safety is to always know the background of one’s shooting area and what lies beyond it." No kidding. Target shooting beside a golf course isn't a very smart thing to do.

Update: Meanwhile back on the ranch, US police tell American gun enthusiasts not to fire guns at hurricanes. If they only had a brain.

Communist China still lying about North Korea - Update



AFP is reporting that "China strongly condemned North Korea's Sunday nuclear test, slamming Pyongyang for ignoring international condemnation of its atomic weapons programme." Can we please put an end to China's compulsive lying because it is really becoming offensive. Actions speak louder than words. Putting a statement on a website stating they condemn North Korea's nuclear test means absolutely nothing when they at the same time oppose sanctions against North Korea and object to South Korea installing an iron dome missile defense system against North Korea's continued terrorist threats.

How can we believe anything China says when they throw Buddhists in jail just for being Buddhists and execute them to order for organ harvesting. Nothing China says has any credibility whatsoever because they are murders and compulsive liars.

Sanctions against North Korea for conducting nuclear tests in support of its defiant missile launches terrorizing the world are now in order. Canada, Japan, South Korea and Guam need an Iron Dome Missile defense system just like Israel.

Canada needs to stop selling China Canadian nuclear reactors because they use that technology to export nuclear weapons and China are the ones that supply North Korea with military equipment. BC and Alberta need to take back their oil rights from Communist China. It's that simple. It's called a natural consequence of unacceptable behaviour.



Update: The Canadian Press is reporting that "North Korea illegally exported coal, iron and other commodities worth at least $270 million to China and other countries including India, Malaysia and Sri Lanka in the six-month period ending in early August in violation of U.N. sanctions, U.N. experts say." This is where we need to balance the extremes.

I don't care if North Korea exports coal or iron to China. That is their right. However, it is our right to say we will not buy your products or give you humanitarian aid when you continue to conduct nuclear tests and continue to terrorize the world with defiant missile tests. North Korea needs to be able to feed itself. We dont want to create another Helms Burton fiasco.

If North Korea wants to be Communist then let them be Communist. If they invade another country we will take up arms against them. If they threaten the world with nuclear missiles then we will refuse to buy their products. That is our right and our duty.

Fatal shooting in West Kelowna - Update



Global is reporting that a yong man who was a a web designer in his mid-to-late 20s was gunned down in a West Kelowna driveway across the street from his parents home around 8:15 p.m. last night. He was visiting them from Vancouver.

The victim had just pulled into his parent’s driveway and was driving a black GMC Yukon before the shooting occurred. A neighbour came out to find two bullet wholes visible in driver's side window and the victim's body slumped over in driver's seat

Update: The Kerameus Review is reporting that "Pennell owned a company called Traphouse Skateboards which was registered to the West Kelowna address on McTaggart Road that police were called to with a report of shots fired. He was found dead in a vehicle in the driveway. In a press release issued hours after the shooting Cpl. Jesse O’Donaghey deemed the death a homicide and said that the victim lived a “high-risk lifestyle” and “was well known to police.”

"In fact, court records show Pennell faced a dozen separate drug trafficking charges and weapon-related charges in 2011. The Prince George Citizen wrote in 2013 that Pennell had been dealing drugs for about a year when he was arrested on charges stemming from that activity."

Garibaldi Lake



I hiked up to Garibaldi Lake today hoping to camp overnight but the campsites were all full and they don't allow back country camping. Other places do but they have a ranger station on site checking everyone. This is the same trail that takes you up Black Tusk but I didn't make it that far.



The ride home was a bit of a zen moment for me. The setting sun turned the horizon orange behind the islands in the water along the coast. It reminded me of watching the sun set behind Bowen Island from Whitecliff when I was a kid. I felt at total peace. About everything.



It was nice seeing tents and sleeping bags tied to the back of motorcycles heading out on the freeway for the long weekend. Now that's living the dream. Pimping crack hoes isn't living the dream it's pimping the dream. It's selling the dream out.

Vancouver bridge tolls have been lifted - Oh Happy Day



The Free Press reported that "Premier John Horgan has acted on another of his key election promises, announcing that tolls will be lifted from the Port Mann and Golden Ears bridges effective Sept. 1." That day has come. Now that's what I'm talking about. I support the freedom to move. In fact mobility rights are entrenched in the Canadian Charter of Rights.

The first spin people complain about is asking how the NDP are going to pay for it? Wait 'til I tell ye. The first thing they can do to save money is to get rid of the American private company collecting the tolls. The only reason a private company will collect tolls is to make a profit. That's why they kept the toll on the Coquihalla long after it was paid for. Getting rid of that firm will save taxpayers money.

The Lion's Gate bridge used to be tolled. Now it's paid for. You can't put a toll on bridge after it has already been paid for. That's just another tax grab. Politicians are gluttons. The more they tax the more they spend. How about reducing services so we can lower taxes? Let's start with the Metro Vancouver's Glutton Council. That wasteful duplication of services is mandated to burn tax dollars like an incinerator. It needs to be disbanded.

The next thing that needs to go is Translink's tax and spend think tank. Translink already burns an extra billion dollars a years in a regional gas tax. No private company would be able to function going a billion dollars over budget year after year. That fraud needs to be fixed. Getting rid of the tax and spend think tank is the first step. They are a waste of money.

The final step to recover lost revenue is to fix the BC Hydro fraud. We need contract back in the private power brokers that sell power to the public company at above market rates. That will save taxpayers billions. While we're at it BC and Alberta need to nationalize their oil resources like ICBC. Letting Communist China have the profits from our natural resources is insane.

We can still keep all the private Canadian oil contractors. We just need to take back the ownership of our oil from Communist China. That would increase tax revenue and reduce debt on a steady basis. That would be good business. Peace.

Woman shot in face at Toronto restaurant



WTF is going on? The Toronto Star is reporting that "An 18-year-old woman is in critical condition after being shot in the face at a popular 24-hour restaurant in Mississauga early Friday morning, police say. Just before 1 a.m., Peel Regional Police were called to Zet’s Restaurant on Airport Rd., near Pearson airport, and found the young woman suffering from gunshot wounds. She was rushed to hospital in what paramedics describe as critical but not life-threatening condition. The restaurant was open at the time. No one else was harmed, but police say there were numerous witnesses in the area and that they are cooperating in the investigation."

Same area as the Mall shooting.

18 year old shot dead in Abbotsford



CBC is reporting that Abbotsford police have identified the victim of a "brazen" shooting as an 18-year-old man, saying it's believed his killing was targeted. Sehajdeep Sidhu was found in a parked car in the area of Huntingdon Road and Gladwin Road around 6 p.m. on Thursday, according to the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team. The 18-year-old died on scene. Investigators say Sidhu was known to police but didn't have a criminal record."

Targeted shooting in Langley kills two - 2nd Update



CBC is reporting that "Two people have died after what's believed to be a targeted shooting in Langley, B.C. A man and a woman were found suffering from gunshot wounds on 232 Street near 64 Avenue around 5:30 a.m. PT on Friday, according to RCMP. A statement said both later died of their injuries. It's the third fatal shooting in the Fraser Valley this week: A man was killed in Abbotsford on Thursday and another died after being shot in Surrey two days earlier.

Global is reporting that the shooting actually took place at 62A Crescent and 64 Avenue 5:30 AM this morning. Nearby at 232 Street and 64 Avenue there was a second crime scene. A red Jeep could be seen with both the driver’s door and passenger door wide open and yellow crime scene tape around it. It is believed this could be a suspect vehicle but that has not been confirmed.

The Peacearch News is reporting that "According to Curtis Kreklau of South Fraser News Services, police arrived in the area and quickly located a suspect vehicle – the Jeep – and arrested a man and a woman in a high-risk takedown. A blood trail was observed coming from the victim’s vehicle and a search was conducted for a possible third victim, and a police dog was also searching nearby farmer’s fields, said Kreklau."



Update: The Peacerch News is reporting that "Brandy Petrie, a 34-year-old Burnaby woman, and Avery Levely-Flescher, 20, of Surrey have been identified as the two people who were shot and killed on a rural road in Langley early Friday morning, Sept. 1. Charged in their killings is 21-year-old Travis MacPhail of Langley."

Man killed in shooting inside Toronto mall



Global is reporting that "A man believed to be in his 20s is dead after a shooting at North York Sheridan Mall in north-end Toronto Thursday afternoon. Toronto police and paramedics were called to the plaza near Jane Street and Wilson Avenue at around 5:20 p.m. with reports of a shooting. A man was found with a gunshot wound inside the mall. He died at the scene."

Shooting someone inside a mall isn't very bright. There are security cameras everywhere. This mall is just south of Woodbridge where all that mob violence tied to the Hells Angels has been going on throughout the summer. Stop the greed, end the violence.
