So, what are we going to do with this young restless fellow? Take his gun away, put some handcuffs on him, put him on a bus with an armed guard and escort him to a jail in Calgary.

Or, take his gun away, feed, cloth and entertain him, while we try to understand why he behaves the way he does? Chester

Careful Chester. He is a poor unfortunate, misunderstood fellow. Someone, when he was about 2 years old, took his lollipop away from him and itwas such a traumatic event in his life that result is he has social problems now.
Poor misfortunate, abused fellow......

Yikes, truth being the S O B is stupid enough to create trauma in others lives, and the penalty will be a slap on the wrists and a "hope I don't see ya later."
Must have heard lots of drugs here so hitched a ride to get in on the good times.
Probably just sighting in that hand gun. Practice makes perfect?
Don't fret-that is the last we will hear about him. He is likely sitting in a crack house already.
Prince George attracts the finest???
