Thieves Raiding Farms

[furrowtickler]

We know you're embarrassed to have been a Liberal voter but continually blaming them for everything doesn't detract from your embarrassment it merely reminds us of it on a daily basis.
Oh, and by the way crime rates are falling in Canada - overall crime rates are something like 30% down and property crimes @40% down since the early 2000s.
That's good news - maybe you should thank a Liberal instead!

Well grass , I agree with several things with you ..... but politics and crime are completely out the fukin window !
I invite you to come stay here for 1 month.... you will leave a very fukin changed man ..... as will many other when face to face with reality ... chuck ! ..., on a daily basis with the b/S we put with.
I will bet the farm on it .
You will have a vastly different attitude.
It’s like the Hollywood celebrities living in ultra safe compounds.... they have no fukin clue .
Some of you have had the extremely fortunate situation of living in low crime areas , and thus think you are all high and mighty on crime .... come live around here ,your attitude will change extremely quickly regardless of your political views.

Grassy,you may be right about reported crime, however unreported rural crime numbers may be the same, decreasing or rising, we all know of people who just don't bother to report fuel theft and small acts of vandalism because of disappointing past results.

Crime rates have been rising in Canada since 2014. Hope it's not a trend

Oh well, thank a Liberal they are the ones who are responsible.

I just paid our insurance for the farm and wow it's expensive. I asked if the yards cameras gave me any kind of discount since they can identify the vehicle, the people in the yard and the plates.

They checked and No yard cameras for a discount but contents of homes and inside shop yes a small discount.

So you protect with motion sensors everything and the insurance industry doesn't care.

Trudeau and his hug a thug has destroyed the last help for Canadians. The NDP is no better.

Criminals have more rights in Canada than citizens of Canada.

Sad really.

I vote conservative and used to be liberal a long long time ago but today I don’t think any of them are much better than the other. Come election time they all promise the world free everything and that’s what buys votes. This shit can’t continue or we are going to be like Venezuela or Cuba only difference it won’t be to rosy up here with 7 months of winter. It should be illegal to run a deficit bugjet if uneducated rural hicks can run a rm or county without a deficit our highly educated city cousins should also be able to.

It’s so sad our country has evolved into this.

You are disgusting. Typical liberal.

Agree, very disgusting comments by foragefarmer.

As others have said we need new self defence rights due to all of the criminal activity/robberies happening....not to mention the lack of a response from the RCMP.

[GDR]

I firmly believe you should have the right to defend your property and family. Having said that confronting these guys and firing warning shots was pretty risky. What if they pulled a weapon. That would have left the farmers with the choice of getting shot or shooting the bad guys and after they tracked them down and also fired first they would be at fault and would be self defense for bad guys. Not the same situation if it had happened in the farm yard.

"The perpetrators (likely) had no violent intentions, no firearms, weren't intending to steal or damage property, and had no criminal records. If police couldn't (or wouldn't) prosecute that crime, then how can they justifiably try to prosecute every rural victim of crime in an area any time a theft in progress is ended by vigilante justice, if none of the victims are willing to testify against each other?

All that would be required is to have as many locals as possible on scene armed with their appropriate calibre firearms, all waiting when the police arrive."


Why not take it a step further and have all the farmers at the scene with the guns all fire at once at the perpetrators. None of them would ever feel guilty of killing some young drunk teenager who made their first mistake in life because nobody would know who's bullet actually killed the perpetrator(s).

As for all farmers in the prairies thinking your's and Parsley's idea is good one, let's take a poll here on Agriville and see how many are willing to agree with your statements.

We both could be surprised in the results!

You are disgusting. Typical liberal.
