Good or bad, no one deserves to be gunned down.
In the forest, an animal dies and some good comes of it. The maggots eat the carcass and the nutrients are returned to renew life.
Human maggots are not so useful. The VLA is home to many good people. We have kids, enjoy barbecues, gardening, talking with our neighbours, all of the neighbourly things people in places such as College Heights enjoy.
I could live elsewhere but the VLA is my home. I do not enjoy seeing human maggots (drug dealers, gang members, thieves, prostitutes, johns) eating away at a very vibrant and worthwhile area such as my neighborhood in the VLA.
Perhaps, some good will come of this recent death. Perhaps the RCMP members who have spent time here on this murder investigation will see the kids playing, hear their laughter, watch people barbecue, watering lawns, sitting and talking and realize the VLA is worth protecting.
We will be calling the RCMP on a regular basis to report drug dealers, transients, prostitutes and johns and we hope they will be there for us. The carcass of the VLA is nowhere near death and will rise again to proudly honour the name we carry "Veterans Land Act." We just need to get rid of the human maggots trying to bring this area down.
