Too many people fill our jails, maybe they can be released back into the community where they can get community support.

Yeaaaaah boy. 'Cause they just sooooo gangsta! (Not). ha ha. They embarrass themselves and their community. Throw them in jail for a few years to keep small communities like this safe and that this type of stupid behavior will not be tolerated. It's time to grow up instead of acting like morons.

Thomas I hope you are wrong but fear you may not be. Read the charges, these are absolutely horrific charges and nobody is gonna come forward. That thought makes me sick. Until society as a whole grows some balls and starts speaking out against these losers they are gonna win and we are gonna pay and so will the victims of these predators.
We used to be a respected Territory where you could rely on not only your neighbour but your community to have your back and keep our communities safe. When did that all change? When did we stop caring and when did we say your on your own cause I wasn't there for that meeting. Come on Yukon we are not weak we are not powerless and these folks are not scary they are weak that's why they prey on the weak. Steroided up drug dealers and unaccounted rapers and we close a blind eye. Are we as bad as them? Let's get back to protecting our own.

Don't expect any witnesses to come forward in a small town like Carmacks.
