00:00:00.240 The Edmonton Police Service, they've warned us that Jamie Edward Meads, he's 38, is considered a significant risk of harm to the community.
00:00:09.080 Yeah, he should be, because he's got a 20-year history of rape and assault.
00:00:14.980 He's had eight known victims identified during that period.
00:00:19.200 He was convicted of assault by bodily harm when he choked, suffocated, strangled, and aggravated assault,
00:00:25.560 forcible confinement, intimidation, all against a woman last year. 2025, just a little over a year
00:00:32.560 ago, he's loose again. Do you think he might re-offend? And you see, this isn't a shoplifter.
00:00:39.640 This isn't somebody who's going to do minor harm. This isn't a car thief. He's a rapist
00:00:43.900 and a woman beater. So why do they keep releasing him? Because he's indigenous. 1.00
00:00:49.120 this. Look into it. He's a Gladue case. What's a Gladue case? That's the geniuses in our court 0.88
00:00:56.000 system. They ruled in the Gladue ruling who I believe she was with the Niska or Cowichan or 0.72
00:01:01.380 one of those bands. Either way, whereas Indigenous offenders must, the judges have to take their 0.98
00:01:10.460 race into account and give them reduced sentences whenever possible. In this case, it shouldn't be 1.00
00:01:16.080 possible a judge to be able to say i don't care about the gladu principles this man is a hazard 0.76
00:01:21.280 to society he should die of old age in prison so he doesn't rape another a ninth woman that beat
00:01:27.920 them but nope he's loose again all the edmonton police can do is warn us hey this guy's on the 0.99
00:01:35.480 loose again try not to be the one that he's gonna assault and rape this time but there's gonna be
00:01:40.480 another one. We know it. We can't protect our citizens. The state is failing us. What is the 0.98
00:01:46.300 point of the state? What is the point of the government? One of the few things, the most
00:01:50.880 basic principles of a government is to keep the citizenry safe, to keep us to do what it can
00:01:57.660 to prevent monsters like this man from harming us and harming our women, harming our daughters and
00:02:03.700 children. And it's failed. It's failed and it continues to fail. This state isn't worth a crap.
00:02:09.940 Canada is broken. 0.99
