how about add child abuse charges and mandatory sterilizations?

How bout name of the street??? or better yet, a pic of the house

22nd avenue is a residential street at the far west end.

4000 block of 22nd Ave, according to another site

you guys think this is going to result in jail terms? if they do get sentenced, they will be out in days! the crooked cops don’t want the public to get outraged at the miscarriage of justice. If you knew who they were or where they lived, you’d find out about the crooked trade offs and wonder why nobody was held accontable. they can’t point out the house or you would know who it was. if they were really making busts, the dope sales would decrease and prices would go up and the supply would decrease. go to any high school in PG. pot is more plentiful, cheaper and kids are becoming dealers more and more. [arents are selling dope to my kids thru their kids at school.

ummm western2 – the cops are the ones that made these arrests. If no charges come it wont be thier fault…

Child abuse, I didn’t read that. Big difference between child abuse and less than desirable settings for raising a toddler.

Yes the ministry should be called in to take the toddler, it was a poor choice on the parent.

Western2?????????? Interesting theory?

Jeez Western, hope you don’t have to call the cops for anything anytime soon.
How come your kids are buy’in dope??

The sad part of this is the Needle Van probably supplied the needles to the drug dealers to sell with their dope. Its no wonder we are called a “crime -ridden” City ,with all the services we provide ,we are drawing all the wrong people here. we don’t need the taxpayer funded coffee hang out on 3rd ave, its helped kill the Downtown. The money wasted in this place could go to help the Children of these creeps.

Bitter – for what it’s worth, the ‘coffee hangout’ on 3rd St was the only place in the city that I could get a PAP test done as an unattached adult patient.

Sure can’t get that at Starbucks.

swordfern- You have got the wrong coffee hangout I was talking about the place across from the old Farmers Market on 3rd,you should see the scary people going in there,but the very sad part so are children. The place should be closed down.

Bitter you beat me to the quote! “crime-ridden city of Prince George” from CBS’s 48 Hours, Saturday night episode. Poor PG…

The China trip by Council will help us forget about crime ridden …..

We can’t forget about the crime ridden comment ,we need to get some GUTS and do something about the state of our City ,how did we get to where we are?? How do we get back to the way we were??

Crooked judges, crooked cops, drug dealers buying all the new sleds, Harley’s, cars, boats etc. No job and no one is questioning where they get their money from? I try and deposit 20 K in my own bank from a legit boat sale and I have to jump through more hoops than a circus dog.

The problems we have here in PG are no different than most other cities. People that have the legal ability to fix these problems are turning a blind eye. The system we have now is set up to be a cash cow for those working in the system.

Dragonmaster: Drug dealers probably don’t have bank accounts. Or they visit the bank for deposits very often! Some of them have a ‘front’ business to make things look legit. Now, if a ‘small’ business is depositing say $20 grand a month or more, maybe the police should be looking at that too. Maybe they do!

Stillsmokin: they did say 22nd Ave. What if you knew the place they meant. What would that mean to you?

traveller: Maybe if we asked really nicely, the city council would be able (in their $35,000 budget) to take these fine upstanding citizens over there too. (with one way tickets)

Give More.. This has been edited. Origionally didn’t have the location listed. Reason being, nice for neighbors to be aware of who they live next door to and if you have kids, this info is good to have so you can advise yer kids to stay away from that area if you know they are in vacinity.

Anyhow, how bout all those miners the Gov’t imported?? Also, Tim Horton seems to be doing the same.. Just seems that way

Condolences to the family of the young RCMP in Surrey who is having the funeral today.

Bitter – I’m pretty sure that I have the right coffee hangout. The needle exchange is also an outreach for various preventative health services, such as HIV testing, STD testing, and PAP testing. Felt pretty weird to be going there as a working class person, but it was seriously the only place in town to have the deed done. The walk-in clinic doesn’t do them, and the doctors there had no suggestions. I went to the hospital and they had no suggestions. It was only by my own research that I discovered the wonderful public health nurses at the needle exchange.

swordfern- I am not talking about the Needle exchange thats a different place. I am talking about the fire pit drop in center. I think the needle exchange needs to be in a different spot,but not in residential areas. I also think the public health nurses do a great job,as do the nurses in the Hospital. They have to deal with a lot of different stuff.I don’t think they get thanked enough , SO THANK YOU ,to all the NURSES out there.
