James Smith Cree Nation: What has happened 1 year since mass stabbing?

148

What made him do that to my family my kids a year later Sky Sanderson is still trying to make sense of what happened I was wondering who why my life is the way it is now what did I where did we go wrong like we always knew to stay away from

Miles on September 4th 2022 miles Sanderson went on a rampage killing 11 people and injuring 17 at James Smith Cree Nation and in nearby Weldon Saskatchewan one of the first killed his brother Damien survived by Sky and their children they come home in the front door and Damian would hide underneath a

Blanket and give them all starts as they come in one by one Brothers on very different paths Damien had struggled with the law but was working to be a good father and husband miles had nearly 60 convictions and was vicious to his ex-partner I don’t know why he was

Coming back to get mad at me didn’t make sense so something that I’m piecing together right now Vanessa Burns telling Global’s Ashley Stewart she thought miles might have killed her but not so many others that’s what kept me like gave him a chance to be a

Dad and then he’d always want to get back with me some somehow in some way but I think this last time he had a plan like just something was different miles stabbed her mother Joyce three times and killed her father Earl why didn’t I go

And I said the only reason I know why is because my grandkids were downstairs I didn’t want to leave them there are plans for a monument to Earl to replace the flowers honoring the veteran they miss him I was with him this time last year and I think just because I know

What’s going to happen you know and I didn’t last year Vanessa says she’s relieved because she knows miles would never leave her alone if he were still alive but they say they still don’t feel safe coroners are investigating and RCMP have clarified the timeline but admitted any answers may have died with miles

After so much sudden loss survivors are slowly trying to move on I want a home again and I’m I’m not going back to that house Nathaniel Dove Global News

  1. Dude should have been locked up, but no that's racist right. Cause it's the white man's fault this happened. Throwing money at fires and thinking monsters can't act and pretend they deserve a second chance doesn't fix anything, just makes things worse. Drug's, alcohol and rape are a major problem when there's nothing to create a economy, or health services out in the middle of nowhere. People go crazy. I have nothing but sympathy for her. Both the conservatives, liberals and corrupt chiefs have failed them, Trudeau's government however likely caused this cause they're the ones that started the woke "it's not their fault it's their environment and lack of hand-outs" policies that kept him from being behind bars. Problem is you gotta start with the kids when it comes to the environment, most adults that have grown up in the insanity are for the most part lost causes.

  2. in Ca't-uh-Duh – any criminal or killer can get a knife from a dollar store and kill as many people as they want.
    yet, you cannot legally protect yourself with a stick, knife or gun.
    why should we NOT BE ALLOWED to use firearms for personal protection; if CRIMINALS DONT FOLLOW THE LAW AND CAN GET GUNS & KNIFES? because the govt is a farce, its not legitimate; its organized crime.

  3. Nearly 60 convictions a history of domestic abuse it happened because he should have been in jail he had violated his probation too I think but police rarely follow up on conditions of release I guess.
