Justin Bourque underwent radical, angry remake, friend says

Business Insider says suspected Mountie killer Justin Bourque, 24, has a reputation for hating authority and fantasizing about revenge.

By: Allan Woods Quebec Bureau, Published on Thu Jun 05 2014
MONCTON, NB—Two stark and contrasting portraits are emerging of the young man suspected of killing three Mounties and injuring two others in a heavily armed rampage Wednesday night.

One was the highly intelligent, laid back, home-schooled guitar enthusiast known to friends who grew up alongside 24-year-old Justin Bourque in suburban Moncton.

The other was a radical, angry remake earlier this year of a man obsessed with gun rights, angered by police and fixated on global conflicts going half a world away.

“It was almost like a complete 180 for him,” friend and former workmate Trever Finck told the Toronto Star. “There was a pretty stark difference.”

One acquaintance who spoke to the Star on condition of anonymity described Bourque as someone with “lots of tactical knowledge.”

“I think he should be considered military-trained,” the friend said. A spokesperson for the Department of National Defence has said that Justin Bourque was never a member of the Canadian military.

Bourque has had a long enthusiasm for guns, however, and even before Wednesday night’s shooting was often seen dressed in camouflage military fatigues.

The acquaintance, who last saw Bourque in person two years ago, said: “I know he went into the woods to shoot things, but I’m assuming it (was) targets like cans or paper targets. He was always safe from what I’m told (and) made sure there was a dirt mountain behind it.”

Finck said Bourque had two guns that were stored in a gun cabinet in the home he shared with his parents and siblings. He often displayed them to visiting friends.

Just before that, in March, Bourque had made contact with a number of old friends and was looking for roommates to move in together. He ended up settling in a trailer park. Popular pastimes included the normal young adult fare of video games and marijuana.

Bourque had spoken openly to some friends of having moved on from marijuana to harder drugs like heroin.

So, he was living at home with his family until recently - and had moved on to harder drugs.

How do you know this indy? Let's be careful not to post the location of officers at this point. Tia
 
OK that photo posted above can be used to ID police location. Sigh media needs to be more careful.
 
Justin Bourque’s best friend remembers their last bizarre encounter: ‘You have a good life’


But a few weeks ago, Bourque was with Campbell and some friends “just sitting in the garage drinking a little bit of whisky, listening to some Black Sabbath and having a good time,” Campbell said.

The two friends had drifted apart since Bourque’s parents decided Campbell was “too competitive” at street hockey, he said, adding that Bourque was homeschooled throughout his childhood.

“He got up. ‘I should get home before I pass out,’ is what he said. ‘I’m going to go,’” Campbell recalled of their last meeting in the garage, just down the street from Bourque’s family home. “

“I told him, ‘Get hold of me later.’ And he was like, ‘I don’t know. You take care, Mike. You have a good life.’

“And I said, ‘No, man really. You’re not going to come visit me? Come over any time, I’ll be here.’

And he was like, ‘That probably won’t be able to happen….’ I was kind of weirded out by it.”

Asked what he’d say to Bourque if he had the chance, Campbell said: “I’d tell him he’s a f—— idiot. You have problems? Everybody has problems. You don’t take peoples’ lives. Whatever you have going on in your life, there’s ways to solve it. It’s not right. It’s messed up. I don’t feel bad for him but his family is the best people I’ve ever known. I just watched the 15 cop cars surrounding his parents’ house, fully automatic weapons drawn, and all his sisters coming out with their hands on their heads. So sad. I can’t believe what they’re going through.”

According to Campbell, Bourque had recently quit his job at a grocery store and was living in a trailer park.

“I believe he just didn’t know what to do. He was my best friend my whole life. He would be the last person I would think would do this.”

Caitlin Isaac, who worked with Bourque several years ago, said he always wanted “to give people something to remember him for.”

“A few people from work went camping one weekend,” she told Business Insider. “He came, and brought his rifle with him, which he held onto the whole night while drinking. That kind of freaked us out, so we didn’t invite him the next time.”

Presumably, all his former places of employment have been searched, and any place of worship, where he may have had an affiliation ??

About those people gathering in the street, who can say if he shaved his beard, threw on a hat and put a camera in front of his face and mingled in the crowd or not?
Geez, get out of the way!
 
Regarding the trailer park where he was living:

The owner of the park declined comment when asked about Bourque.

Neighbour Conrad Gagnon, 53, also said he saw the gunman in the trailer park shortly afterwards.

"I saw him walking ... with his gun with him and he reached the woods at the back of the trailer park and after that we didn't see anything," said Gagnon. "I just thought maybe it's somebody who wants to sell their gun or something."

Gagnon said he was playing a video game in his living room when he spotted the man through a window.

"It was like he was meditating on something and talking ... like somebody on drugs and living in his own world," he said. "He was talking to himself. I saw his lips moving."

Shortly afterwards, Gagnon said he heard gunfire.

"I heard five or six shots and after that another five or six shots," he said
