    I hate cars as much as the next person here, but we know next to nothing about this person other than a single sentence statement from the police. And also charges haven’t been laid yet because the investigation is still ongoing and likely hasn’t been sent to the crown counsel yet.

      Charges have been laid now

      I’m unclear on why only 8 murders when 11 were killed, but I imagine there’s some legal stuff going on there.

      What happened is fucked up and very likely could’ve been prevented if we had better mental health supports in BC.

      This is obviously a really sad and fucked up situation but I feel like this post is unnecessarily inflammatory.

      The point about charges is fair. Custody is more important than the process/speed of listing all charges. I’m just not liking the setup for an insanity defense
