Gibson tragedy



This story makes me mad. Before we sluff it off as a gun crazy lunatic let’s look at the facts. Here we have a female senior citizen getting evicted from her home because she couldn’t pay rent. What’s wrong with that picture?

Remember Gordon Campbell? The drunk driver who campaigned against the gold plated pension then when in office, shut down Riverview, put all the mentally ill on the street and gave himself a big fat raise and the very gold plated pension he promised to oppose. Not only did he shut down Riverview and put all the mentally ill on the street but he wrecked havoc on the welfare system as well as benefits for the elderly and disabled. Homelessness has skyrocketed as a result.

Then he continues with his budget cuts to seniors and closes down several seniors homes in surrey and gives himself another big fat pay raise while he hands out gold medals with his name on it to construction workers working on the Olympic site: http://www2.canada.com/theprovince/news/story.html?id=5f1c57ea-d510-4818-8f97-8f29507c0c72 That is the tragedy. We as a people have lost our conscience and have elected a criminal. We are all responsible as a result.

Now we have a senior getting evicted from her home. A war vet recently hit by a car suffering brain damage:
http://www.theprovince.com/news/Alleged+Gibsons+shooter+brain+injured+veteran/1453672/story.html We are evicting her on the street. She takes a riffle to defend herself, shoots her attacker then after pushing her wheelchair to the parking lot: http://www.theprovince.com/news/Woman+faces+attempted+murder+raps/1454859/story.html flees in a car and the noble police open fire and shoot her: http://news.sympatico.msn.ctv.ca/abc/home/contentposting.aspx?isfa=1&feedname=CTV-TOPSTORIES_V3&showbyline=True&date=true&newsitemid=CTVNews%2f20090401%2fBC_shooting_090401

Well done brave soldiers. Give those police officers a Gordon Campbell Olympic gold medal for shooting a senior citizen in a wheelchair as they were evicting her from her home. What a noble people we have become.

No medals for Gordon Campbell on child poverty: http://billtieleman.blogspot.com/2008/11/bc-is-canadas-worst-province-for-child.html

OK turns out she was 40 but she was disabled and in a wheelchair living in a seniors home.
