Police say latest Moccasin Flats shooting the result of careless gun use
28When language gets softened like this, it misleads the public about the real safety issues downtown and around Moccasin Flats. We can have compassion for people who are unhoused, but pretending this is just ‘carelessness’ helps no one. Especially the people living and working nearby.

28A lot of careless gun use going on in that trailer. Maybe they are not fit to own firearms?

26Wow, just wow! How does this happen especially after the incident with the 15 year old being shot in the same trailer last year?

23"Due to careless use of firearms" is an understatement.The only legal use of firearms is for hunting or target shooting.When not in use all firearms are supposed to be locked in a gun safe.The investigation should also include the careless storage of firearms in an urban environment. Under no circumstances are firearms to be carelessly stored in an urban environment so that an apparent accidental discharge will not happen.The guns were in an urban environment and not properly stored away. Where were the trigger locks?What is going on in the insane Liberal world of Mark Carney and NDP world of David Eby?

25“Careless use of firearms” lead to multiple shots being fired, multiple people being shot, and this occurring in the exact same trailer where a kid was shot a year ago? That’s some carelessness!If I happened to fire on an armed intruder who broke into my house, I would likely be charged with more than that.

25Careless gun use by criminals. It’s illegal to have a loaded gun in city limits unless at a legal gun range. The headline makes it sound like careless use is the only issue.

21Why weren't the firearms seized after the first incident? Or did the shooter just go out and get more guns? Seems to be a double standard here.

20Where are they going to find housing for this person , that is careless with gun use? Big question why has he got guns? Why is he still there when the camp grounds is closed down, But wait they are going to reopen for overnight camping, good plan we can bring more people into the City , that want a free lunch and housing. I am sure that is good news for the Downtown and area.

19Give a homeless encampment 2 weeks. That’s it. Afterwards, the police, bylaw, &or security moves them out. With force if needed. Otherwise, the lawlessness continues to increase & fester. Afterwards, if anyone returns within 6 months there needs someone to move them out immediately. If a social worker or someone else can be a “point of contact” for to those two weeks or during move outs there is an increased likelihood of positive interactions with a chance of the homeless or addicted improving their lot in life. Having people wallow in the same spot with increased lawlessness isn’t the correct approach. All caring people feel for the homeless & addicted. That being said, one’s poor circumstances does not give one licence to commit crime or camp endlessly in one spot. Until a solution is found, move ‘em out.

City of Prince George expects snow clearing to be done by Monday, March 30
7a place that has a history of snow storms and heavy Winters is ill-equipped to keep roads clear during a snowstorm or during light snowfall. These roads/hwys should be consistently cleared for business traffic. I see the effects of their clearing by the tragic accidents that recently cost 2 lives. Avoidable.

Don't fall for this new online bait-and-switch, RCMP warn
13I know many people who have fallen for this scam and it is very easy to verify either by calling the organization itself or if it’s a missing person/animal or vehicle call the RCMP to verify. It will save you a ton of grief later on.Scammers count on your empathy or wanting to help to get a hold of money or personal information. It is so easy to verify the source but too many people want to believe it’s real and it’s not just the elderly that are easily fooled it’s all age groups and people are easily fooled because they want to believe it’s true.Verify, verify, verify. It is so easy to do yet few bother because they want to believe.

9Very cool. It’s said the average person can see identify more corporate logos than native plants in one’s backyard. I believe it. Let’s hope events like this flip that around.

5How about measuring biodiversity gain ... I am sure there are instances of that as well. But these environmentalist, grant seeking types are always focusing on the negative because that is what keeps the grant money coming in.

City shrinks temporary overnight sheltering site boundaries
11I love paying 4k a year in property tax living in Millar Addition and 600 metres away are the overnight campers stealing, breaking and entering into property and vehicles. Oh one of the campers came into my yard and threatened to harm me , my family and burn my house down 14 months ago. But hey. They are just overnight campers sheltering and shooting guns into the neighbourhhood. Council doesn’t seem to care about the residents being back stops for gunfire and stray rounds. I guess I’ll hide behind the flyer
