Yes I understand this. But even if she had been successful six or more years ago, would it have prevented any future tragedy from occurring? I’m not so sure even if we could travel by Time Machine that could be predicted. The illegal weapons and spousal abuse, given the laxity of Canadian sentencing, are crimes far beneath prison for life sentencing. Its also known even though certain weapons are illegal, they’re still obtainable through criminal organizations. Had GW applied for a PAL in the past, there’s also nothing to indicate he couldn’t have purchased weapons legally. As for charging people involved in neighbourhood disputes, I don’t want to go there except to say for example, what one person might consider stalking, another considers is their legal right to park on the side of a public road.
What was it that caused GW to spiral out of control April, 2020 and not 6 years ago, or 10 years ago or 30 years ago? Into his 50s, he was far older than most spree killers but his age made him far more devious and dangerous IMO.
Below is a quote by the sister of the woman who lived across the road, shot in a cold blooded murder. I think what she said is an incredibly accurate observation - nothing justified any of this.
“
Kierstead said McCully only knew the gunman as an “acquaintance” but said there were some relationships in the community that “were under stress.” She didn’t provide further details....”
“There was some community conflict and I don’t know the details of it, but I don’t think that really justifies any of this,” she said...”
