  1. @Blue Jay 22 why are you voting for J and not Falc?
  2. If there’s a better option than Falc, right know. I’m all ears.
  3. It’s a fair enough reason, and with Falc’s vote at the end coupled with his attempt to deflect away from himself, I feel a little more comfortable with LL’s gut feeling. I’m open to changing of course if there’s a better case against someone else. I feel this is a good course of action. Falcon first, and then I’ll be able to give my next choice for a vote quite quickly thereafter.
  4. I’ll go with his gut over anyone’s right now.
  5. It’s a nonsensical post anyways. The last post I posted on the OT was last night, which has no bearing to this game.
  6. Just caught up with the thread. After reading all the interactions, I’m sticking with the Falc vote as per LL. I’ll take the Sherriff’s thoughts over anyone’s right now. I don’t really see the case NIK’s making on J, so I might need further explanation for that. Falc is the way to go this round imo.
  7. They do moreso according to the legal system that empowers them to be the best/most trained/authoritative at making assessments that can advise the judiciary when such decisions of social separation must be made. Again, building a bomb without threatening to detonate it, is still a crime. There are plenty of times when someone on the verge of a psychotic episode requires state intervention and then medical assessments, treatment, supervision and then follow up. The safety of society requires this and the state on behalf of society in which that person lives can legally infringe and restrict some of their rights and freedoms.
  8. Allow me to illustrate the parallels: Doctors have the training moreso to separate those most needing separation from society while they are treated to longer be threats to society or themselves which is better for the individual and society as a whole.
  9. It’s also a real world scenario that the State has to protect against.
  10. Building a bomb in the basement scenario would refute your point, since building a bomb is criminal whether or not any overt threat has been levelled against oneself or others. The ‘potential’ is a risk/threat for harm to the individual and society as is the actualization of detonation.
  11. There’s a lot of steps/resolutions before locking someone up. Furthermore, even if someone needs to be locked up in most cases it’s not a lock them up and throw away the key situation. However, the legal system must balance the rights of the individual against the rights and safety of the society that individual is a member of.
  12. Your life and freedoms are already governed and moreso if you are found to be a threat to yourself or society, based on medical/legal assessments. Society has evolved to this point after trying it the other way as you suggested, because it doesn’t work in keeping people safe. A trained medical/legal opinion is worth far more than a lay person’s opinion when it comes to medical/legal matters. That’s a given.
  13. I doubt motive will be released this early. No doubt some psychological breakdown occurred. I wonder what the trigger issue was. Employment? Relationship? Financial? Went off meds?
  14. On topic: I feel for the individual’s friends and family who lost a loved one and of course the individual who lost their life from a senseless act of violence. I don’t expect an act like this in the lower Mainland, especially in N. Van.
  15. Gotta give credit to LL and follow his advice. Falc first. Vote Falc
  16. The N0 investigation is in play this games. It’s in the OP.
  17. My POE: LL Dav NIK DM Falc BK BJ Toews
  18. Stick with your gut then. I’m ok with the LL lynch too. Kinda dying to know if the performance was real or not.
  19. Ok, let’s stay with LL then if it goes against your screaming gut instincts.
