Just sinful

The murder of OPP Constable Greg Pierzchala is such a tragedy.  Apparently, he was on his first solo patrol when he responded to a call about a car in the ditch.  Who was in the car?  A couple of drug-addled bums who shot and killed him.

According to google, "Randall McKenzie, 25, from the Mississaugas of the New Credit First Nation and Brandi Stewart-Sperry, 30, from Hamilton, are each facing first-degree murder in the shooting death of Const. Grzegorz "Greg" Pierzchala.  

In an update on Wednesday evening, OPP Commissioner Thomas Carrique said McKenzie had been banned from owning any firearm for life since 2018. Three years later, in 2021, McKenzie was charged with several firearms-related offences and assaulting a police officer.  Carrique said McKenzie was released on bail on a number of conditions, including remaining in his residence and not possessing any firearms. He was supposed to answer to the charges in September of this year, the commissioner said, but he failed to attend court. A warrant was later issued for his arrest.

The reason he was released on bail, despite the fact that he didn't meet the criteria, was because he was Indigenous.  Incredibly, that's what the judge said, noting that there was an inordinate number of Indigenous offenders already serving sentences.  So he granted McKenzie bail.    

Here's what the Commissioner had to say:

What did McKenzie's family have to say -- the family who "reared" him with their values, thus giving him his "troubled childhood" -- for which they bear no responsibility whatsoever in their minds.  

Naturally, they blame "intergenerational trauma".  How outrageous!  They then go on to wish his family "healing and peace".  How appalling!  "Everyone is having a difficult time processing this and is extremely hurt," they whine -- obviously talking about themselves, the very people who reared him to be what he is!!!

We have done a terrible disservice to natives by just throwing money at them for generations.  But what do we keep doing?  Throwing money at them!  The majority will never get out of the mess they are in because clearly, they don't believe they are answerable to the law.

It's all so tragic and sad.  May Const. Pierzchala rest in peace.
