Prrrrrrr 10/25/2012 12:29:38 PM Report...who knew????
Moonshiner 10/25/2012 12:33:15 PM ReportMakes you wonder what else they have been up to!Pointing a firearm,thats a mild charge,sounds more like armed robbery to me,do ya think somebody pulled a few strings on this one?
Prrrrrrr 10/25/2012 12:55:01 PM ReportThis is totally related to the other article...IN MY OPINION!
somecandy4u 10/25/2012 1:00:29 PM Reportlol @ Prrrrrr.
superstar75 10/25/2012 1:03:49 PM Reportwhat other article?
im disturbed about the charges although i don't really understand the criminal code so i researched a little....
there doesn't seem to be "armed robbery" here, but there is robbery (with firearm) and (without firearm). There is also "pointing a firearm" does this mean that they are being charged with robbery (without a firearm) and pointing a firearm? doesn't seem right to me to separate the offense like that to go easy on them if that is what they did... according to this there is no minimum sentence for the robbery without a firearm but a max of life. with a firearm holds a min of 4 years and pointing a firearm holds a max of 5yrs. Seems like lesser charges to me... unfortunate

jean-paul 10/25/2012 1:12:09 PM ReportYa let them out so they can carry on stealing.Dumb asses.
RLE 10/25/2012 1:21:54 PM ReportWe have police and courts to make these decisions. Why don't we,at least, give them the opportunity to do their jobs?
Moonshiner 10/25/2012 1:25:00 PM ReportThats like having break and enter,with theft or without,home invasion as a option!
Prrrrrrr 10/25/2012 1:33:17 PM ReportMoonshiner...lol
superstar75 10/25/2012 1:38:31 PM Reportya right, cause they consistently do such an outstanding job... thats the problem today... there are no consequences for these kids... we have lost almost an entire generation... they laugh at the police, court system, prob/parole officers... they know the system and they know nothing is going to happen which is why they do whatever they want...it takes something extreme to happen before they make any move to punish them the way they should have in the first place... i dont think i need to throw out any recent examples.. theres some in a prelim hearing now
Moonshiner 10/25/2012 1:50:17 PM ReportFor a real eye opener,take a monday Morning and go down to the Courthouse,rooms are open to the Public,Its not uncommon to see accused led in ,shackled hand and foot,with there pants down around there ankles...LOL(belts and shoelaces removed as a saftey precaution)There you will see who is not on Santas list this year!
superstar75 10/25/2012 2:13:56 PM Reportshadow i disagree with you... everybody has their own views and mine are quite the opposite to yours... since when do aboriginals get off more easy than non's... they are almost always judged more harshly and prejudged... your statement was prejudicial... also, it was a crime against a reserve establishment by aboriginals... but it is far from the point... it doesnt have to turn into a racial thing... bottom line is that kids are getting away with everything but murder these days
superstar75 10/25/2012 2:58:39 PM Reportman o man... so predictable... always down talk about aboriginals on this site... its so sickening... i wonder if these opinions are said to your aboriginal friends/family/co-workers faces... oh wait i forgot, aboriginals dont work... shame shame for real... im out with this last statement: I hope these men get the maximum penalty for this armed robbery
dob131 10/25/2012 3:09:41 PM ReportYup
jimjim 10/25/2012 4:06:47 PM ReportI think there are too many people getting off easy in this in this town. Native and and non-natve alike. Cops runover kids, dude falls asleep at the wheel and wipes out entire family. What happens to them? Slap on the wrist or nothing at all.It makes you wonder who these people know.
Jamie333 10/25/2012 4:22:36 PM ReportNice to see some people finally getting picked up, and good that they got the guys who used a gun. Too many burglaries, and not enough charges being laid.
Krusto 10/25/2012 6:14:40 PM ReportIf some of you would bother to check the criminal code there is NO such thing as armed robbery. Please review section 344 as it applies to robbery with OR without a firearm. In other words robbery with a firearm.....armed and yes there is a minimum 4 year term in jail.
As far pointing a firearm, again a separate and distinct charge NOT necessarily related to the robbery.
I would suggest rather than be arm chair quarterbacks, and seemingly criticize EVERYTHING ANYONE ever does at least take the time to educate yourself before putting your foot in your mouth.
And NO this does not apply to a majority of the legitimate posters on this site
mn98 10/25/2012 6:25:07 PM Reportok, c'mon now... its not about race or stereotypes, however the points have been made clear above. he had a gun, pointed it, yet it was not used in the robbery? lol
if the first nation cops didnt pick them up, im sure the charges would be different... well i sure hope so! lol
again, its not because they are native, but the charges are how they are because the cops were native too.
now, i can sympathize for the situation. the boys are 18 and 20, and who wants to charge kids with armed robbery? with that being said, i do my damn job everyday the way im suppose to! its time these cops, native AND non, do their damn jobs the way they're supposed to!
yup 10/25/2012 6:34:37 PM Reporthere's the problem its not the police they got them with in two days they did there job .and if you read it both of them got charged with pointing a gun witch means that charges will be drop because they were wearing masks the problem is the court system .they will probably end up with just the one charge of robbery becouse there was only one gun .so they will be lucky with less then 2years .they are brothers mom must be proud.
the coach 10/25/2012 8:03:19 PM ReportArmed robbery with a gun....5 years minimal. And buy both of these boys a dress, they will need it.
Christina216 10/25/2012 8:19:11 PM ReportUnless you know them personally how do you know they are brothers? what if they are cousins? maybe no relation at all. it is possible. but anyway...i hope they get the max for this.
lucyp 10/25/2012 9:01:48 PM ReportYup....WRONG....shows how much you know...not brothers....but yes they are idiots for doing so....I do remember when two white people robbed a store down the line with a gun, they also got next to nothing....they were charged from the OPP....if you read this story both opp and APS were involved....so before you go flappin those gums lets just see how this pans out....
N1T5 101 10/25/2012 11:21:20 PM ReportListen everyone this has nothing to do with race or the first nations police picking them up either way charges would be the same and for the reason being they were charged with pointing a firearm and robbery was because theres more charges to be had. Most of you people commenting don't have the slightest clue on how things work in the courts do you? Well let me explain something here. For one these kids will definitely be going to the penitentiary 3 years minimum. PERIOD. So now everyone you can sleep sound at night. And two if they were caught with the gun it's an automatic 6-10 years (but let's be real here that will never happen thanks to the gladu report which they will be using to there full advantage) and three it's going to be hard or the courts to figure out who pointed the weapon unless the younger of the two ratted that's fro
What I've heard anyways from my police friend. So before everyone gets their pantys in a bunch people regardless if there native or white there going away for a long time and by the way the reserves surrounding the Sault area is OPP jurisdiction the anishnabek police can't be trusted handling such a serious case. Damn your all biased and have a bad way at rationalizing everything
Prrrrrrr 10/25/2012 11:38:33 PM ReportDID YOU SAY? "anishnabek police can't be trusted handling"
ARE YOU KIDDING???? Tell me that was a joke, if it wasn't you are!
Christina216 10/25/2012 11:56:24 PM ReportFirst..why is your police friend telling you information about this? are they allowed to tell people about cases? just curious. second...why are the anisnabek police not trusted to handle a case like this? if they are not trusted then why are they police?
geterdun 10/26/2012 12:43:04 AM Report15 years would deter them and others no???????????
N1T5 101 10/26/2012 3:11:04 AM ReportYeah I did say that if you know anything about the garden river community or rankin you would know there all related in some way 10 or 15 years ago there was murder and the persons responsible were found not guilty and you mate are the joke people need to give their heads a shake and realize the city police can't even conduct a proper investigation that's why the city had to bring in RCMP to make sure they do their jobs accordingly maybe you have seen the RCMP driving around in marked cars.. And may I suggest you remember when ducet was killed cause his partner ran a red light? The same officer is being charged with negligence for not administering a breath sample to the guy who killed Matt howard ... What joke if you believe any police force are protecting your safety and security Goes to show
drm 10/26/2012 10:53:18 AM ReportN1T5 is right. the cops and government do what they want now a days and not what needs to be done. the city cop shop is a bigger joke than the nish cops tho THATS FOR SURE!!!! I had a knife pulled on me once got beat robbed everything and it took 4 hours for them to show than they did nothing at all!!!! LITERALLY!!!! but if a chick picks up the phone (no offence) when her boyfriend breaks up with her and says he beat her they are there in a heart beat! The same with the local CAS office....they'll hand kids back to prostitute crack heads who neglect and beat there kids or leave them alone to go find their next fit but they'll take away and adopt off the kids of parents who worry about their own and get criticized for telling people to "F" off and leave them alone. The government is taking everyone's rights away and personal opinions as well. I though this was supposed to be a democracy not a bunch of who can spend money the quickest and get themselves out of the whole a screw everyone else. Of course their gonna give low sentences to people!!!! its the only way to make money in the courts anymore os to let the criminals back out so they can put em back in again. i've been to court lots in this city...its the same crowd every week....SAD
superstar75 10/26/2012 11:37:54 AM ReportFor everyones information... the accused were cousins and from garden river... the person that had the gun pointed in his face was a 16 yr old boy... a very good boy btw... the anishnabe police that investigated were working out of garden but bfn members and they did a great job.... and one is actually related to the victim.. so these assumptions that there was favortism needs hault.... the racial talk needls to stop... everyone participated n did their jobs... the parents of the investigation also participated and was able to assist police.... the only thing that should be different in my opinion, other than it never happening in the first place are the charges... that being said everyone is relieved at this point that they r picked up n we r all a little safer....
moem 10/27/2012 8:05:37 AM ReportMn98
The crown's office will determine which charges stick and prosecute accordingly....
moem 10/27/2012 8:09:48 AM ReportN1t5
You start by saying it's not about race then you go on to make inappropriate comments, do you know why they have Gladu??
And to everyone else the criminal code Charges often sound technical and make them seem lenient for example, I have often wished that they would change the term sexual interference into " tried to f@ck a kid cuz that what it is same with the charge of invitation to sexual touching" it sounds less serious under their current designations
moem 10/27/2012 8:12:20 AM ReportOh and yup buy a dictionary!! Witch or which?? Oh becouse lol
N1T5 101 10/27/2012 10:32:08 PM ReportMoem I'm typing from a cell phone I apologize if my punctuation wasn't up to your standards. And yes I'm aware of why they have the Gladu report. Coming from a first nations family and broken home and not to mention my past as an ex old criminal maybe I'm not as educated as you are but you seem very biased Moem. And why did my comments bother you? Did I strike a nerve with you? Or was it because I was right and someone of your stature doesn't like that?
N1T5 101 10/27/2012 10:34:05 PM ReportAnd by the way I'm very well educated and I'm not ashamed of my past. And there is no need for a dictionary my apologies if my iPhone did not auto correct wich* for you.
alley 10/28/2012 12:17:17 AM ReportHey the moron who pointed the gun is 18 years of age and is in and out of the court system for years for all sorts of idiotic offences and needs to get off the streets (not a nice kid), the crime is robbery (with a gun)and pointing a weapon, the native and OPP police did a fantastic job nailing these guys(native or not). Lets hope the courts will not only put a good term of 0-5 for pointing a gun but will nail them with the 4-life robbery WITH a firearm. Only the court system can put this to rest. Again I applause the policing effort from the officers involved and hope that the system will make sure the the terms are just. These guys shouldn't see the light of day for 10+years there is a history with this case and the streets should be cleaned up with this sort.
