Transcript

00:00:00.000 People in Alberta will be familiar with it, with what's happened.
00:00:03.500 A little bit after one o'clock, an emergency alert came over.
00:00:06.300 It was beeping on my phone.
00:00:07.420 It was on the radio.
00:00:08.160 I was listening to conventional radio.
00:00:10.240 They said there's two extremely dangerous, they said, armed individuals east of Calgary.
00:00:18.980 They gave the townships and ranges for the roads.
00:00:20.900 They told people, shelter in place.
00:00:22.240 Get in your homes.
00:00:22.980 Lock your windows.
00:00:24.160 Lock your doors.
00:00:25.280 They're on the loose.
00:00:26.140 And then they just left it at that.
00:00:27.720 That was it.
00:00:28.400 But nothing else was told.
00:00:30.860 We weren't told if they were men.
00:00:32.220 We weren't told if they were women.
00:00:33.500 We weren't told if they were driving.
00:00:34.900 We didn't know if they were white, black, purple.
00:00:37.980 We had no idea.
00:00:39.460 All everybody out in that area knew was that apparently there's two extremely dangerous people out there wandering around.
00:00:46.800 Now, the details started creeping out through the day.
00:00:50.400 And they came out through social media, not through the police.
00:00:53.800 So people were locked down.
00:00:54.880 Now, I'll give the details of what we know and what happened.
00:00:57.320 A man was murdered by two people.
00:01:01.460 The RCMP still won't give us any bloody information.
00:01:04.420 It sounds like a vehicle was burned out in the side of the road.
00:01:07.880 The man was a young man.
00:01:09.180 He's a father.
00:01:10.680 And he had pulled over.
00:01:12.340 It sounds like maybe a Fortis employee had pulled over.
00:01:14.500 First, he was shot and wounded.
00:01:16.320 The second one was a county employee who pulled over.
00:01:19.180 He was shot.
00:01:19.920 He's a young man and killed.
00:01:21.260 And then they stole the county truck.
00:01:24.560 This I know because on the Strathmore Facebook group, locals were posting pictures of the stolen truck bouncing around through the field with the murderers in it.
00:01:36.300 But the RCMP still didn't tell anybody that a county truck with murderers in it was driving around their neighborhood.
00:01:43.120 Why in the hell would they not tell the public about a vehicle that identifiable with known murderers in it and say, hey, watch out for this frigging thing.
00:01:55.820 You might get killed.
00:01:57.260 If this sounds familiar to you, remember what these dumb buttholes did in Nova Scotia only a few years ago.
00:02:05.320 A lunatic was rampaging around in a fake RCMP car.
00:02:10.900 He killed 22 people.
00:02:12.960 It was the worst police failure showing incompetence, disorganization, and idiocy on the part of the RCMP in known history.
00:02:20.900 22 people died.
00:02:22.080 And never did an alert go out to people saying, hey, watch out, there's a fake cop car driving around with a nutcase in it that's shooting people.
00:02:29.920 You know, some lives might have been saved if they'd have just said that.
00:02:34.940 But they didn't because the RCMP in Canada goes silent.
00:02:39.180 They don't believe we are allowed to know what the hell is going on.
00:02:43.660 So these two unknown murderers are still on the loose.
00:02:47.520 This is the last information we know.
00:02:50.280 The RCMP, they got away.
00:02:51.400 They ditched the truck.
00:02:52.920 A man is dead.
00:02:53.840 A man is wounded.
00:02:54.920 We don't know where they are.
00:02:56.640 We don't have any direction where they went.
00:02:59.100 We don't know if they're male.
00:03:00.100 We don't know if they're female.
00:03:01.060 We don't know anything about them.
00:03:03.000 The RCMP know this because one of the people they shot was only hit in the arm and he survived.
00:03:07.940 He probably had a description.
00:03:09.320 He could probably say they were two men or two women or two elephants or whatever the hell it was.
00:03:14.300 But the RCMP won't share that with us for some reason.
00:03:18.280 Why?
00:03:18.680 Why have they got a cone of silence while we have murderers driving around the province of Alberta right now?
00:03:25.120 Right now.
00:03:26.280 Shouldn't we know what we're supposed to be looking out for?
00:03:30.100 No.
00:03:30.660 They won't tell us.
00:03:31.640 It's insane.
00:03:32.820 And, you know, this made it all the more dangerous when it was in a county truck with the branding and the logo on the side.
00:03:40.460 Because if you're a rural person, even if you knew the emergency was going on, you know, people, even if it wasn't the wise way to go, see something like that as an authority figure or somebody they could trust.
00:03:51.160 If they saw that coming up the driveway, they might have thought, oh, it's somebody from the county.
00:03:53.940 Maybe the emergency is over.
00:03:54.880 I'll come up my front step and see what's going on.
00:03:56.640 And they would have been shot.
00:03:59.920 And they also, if we wanted to catch these guys, you had hundreds of people around there who could have been watching.
00:04:07.260 In fact, they were.
00:04:08.120 They were posting it on Facebook.
00:04:09.480 You'd get more information from Facebook than the bloody RCMP.
00:04:12.260 And they were saying the truck is here.
00:04:14.300 The truck is there.
00:04:15.320 The killers are here.
00:04:16.400 The killers are there.
00:04:17.380 The locals tracked the killers.
00:04:18.940 The Keystone cops at the RCMP friggin' didn't.
00:04:21.760 So they got away.
00:04:23.000 So they're out now.
00:04:23.820 So they might kill more people.
00:04:25.560 They might kill another young father.
00:04:28.820 Because the RCMP doesn't like sharing information with you.
00:04:32.780 It's been almost 24 hours since this happened and the RCMP still hasn't told us a damn thing.
00:04:40.100 We found out in the newsroom that there was a man killed and who it was because the county put a release out for the victim on their site.
00:04:48.940 The Rocky View County site.
00:04:50.660 And check out the Rocky View County site.
00:04:52.040 Google the man's name.
00:04:53.000 I'm sorry.
00:04:53.440 I don't have it handy with me right now.
00:04:55.020 And look on the Western Standard.
00:04:56.020 We have the young man's name.
00:04:57.800 There's a GoFundMe, of course, for his family.
00:04:59.640 He's a father.
00:05:01.140 And watch out, people.
00:05:01.980 I don't know what you're supposed to watch out for.
00:05:04.360 All we do know is that there's two dangerous murderers bouncing around the province somewhere right now.
00:05:09.340 And the RCMP is refusing to tell us who they are, where they're going, what they look like.
00:05:13.020 So whose fault is it if these guys kill more people?
00:05:17.560 You know?
00:05:18.720 Like, this is insane.
00:05:21.460 Not just insane, but the stupidity, but the stupidity that the friggin' RCMP has done this before.
00:05:26.280 And they haven't learned a thing.
00:05:28.080 You go to the Alberta RCMP X posting site page, and I've been beating the crap out of them on there, and they deserve it.
00:05:34.760 They're posting fluff.
00:05:36.320 Oh, hey, everybody.
00:05:37.300 Watch out.
00:05:37.680 We're doing an RCMP dog training thing in your area, so you might see a puppy.
00:05:41.620 Oh, yeah.
00:05:41.980 Well, by the way, since you're at it, why don't you tell us about the two murderers you misplaced, you idiots?
00:05:46.120 What is your job?
00:05:47.340 Who do you serve?
00:05:48.420 Who do you answer to?
00:05:49.640 Who pays your friggin' bills?
00:05:51.960 We do.
00:05:53.220 You're supposed to protect us.
00:05:55.260 You don't hide information from us, you incompetent boobs.
00:05:58.580 You warn us.
00:05:59.840 You let us protect ourselves.
00:06:02.440 You know, I've talked about getting provincial police force for a long time.
00:06:05.760 I had the RCMP union guys on there making excuses.
00:06:07.920 They've come on my show to tell us why we have to stick with them.
00:06:10.780 You know what?
00:06:11.280 Screw you guys.
00:06:12.880 Hey, we can screw up and make a bad provincial force, so we better make a better force than them when we bring in a provincial one.
00:06:18.460 But I really see nothing to lose in dumping the RCMP right now.
00:06:21.500 So either way, let's hope that these incompetent boobs manage to catch the murderers wherever they are and stop them before they kill another young father.
00:06:31.780 You know, there's four and a half million Albertans who would love to lend their eyes to it and help find these murderers.
00:06:37.220 They're walking the streets in every corner of this province, but they need to know what they're looking for.
00:06:42.160 And the RCMP won't tell us.
00:06:43.900 Why?
00:06:45.260 Why?
00:06:46.600 There's no excuse.
00:06:47.740 It's just disgusting.
00:06:48.740 I'm disgusted with you.
00:06:49.740 You know, I speak of the RCMP, not disgusted with you guys, the viewers.
00:06:56.460 But what the hell is going on?
00:06:58.120 What is the matter with you guys?
00:06:59.140 24 hours later.
00:07:00.560 And so what is this telling me?
00:07:03.180 I'll tell you what it's telling me.
00:07:05.220 It's telling me, go to social media to get your news about crime.
00:07:09.020 Screw the RCMP.
00:07:09.800 They won't give you good information anyways.
00:07:11.560 And they won't protect you.
00:07:12.460 This is one of the posts from that Strathmore site, actually, as a matter of fact.
00:07:16.140 This is what somebody posted after they had all the discussion between all the people living out in that area discussing where these killers were while the RCMP, I don't know what they're doing, playing a game of strip poker or something, whilst they got away.
00:07:26.860 This guy says, so the best thing everyone can do at this point is arm yourself and do whatever is necessary to protect yourselves and your family.
00:07:31.600 The RCMP just gave up.
00:07:33.180 They have failed the Strathmore area more than once.
00:07:34.980 And honestly, we, the people, should end this quite simply.
00:07:37.140 I'd be locked and loaded and cited in.
00:07:40.140 You know what?
00:07:40.660 He's right.
00:07:41.740 You might as well protect yourself.
00:07:42.980 The worst thing is, unfortunately, not everybody's trained for that sort of thing.
00:07:46.420 So it might lead to another accident.
00:07:47.980 But what else are you supposed to do?
00:07:49.340 The RCMP, these Keystone idiots, these Clouse-esque clowns, aren't keeping you safe.
00:07:55.060 And they should get the hell out of Alberta.
00:08:01.600 You.
00:08:01.740 They should be sharing
00:08:07.460 They should be sharing
00:08:13.720 They should be sharing
00:08:14.900 They should be sharing
00:08:27.520 They should be sharing
