Yukon Max - not sure what you are trying to say with your remark...."just saying" Since 1987 I have had connections with Faro; like any community it has had it's share of ugly violence- including murder(white male on white female) along with alcohol and non - alcohol related incidents. First Nation or white - it's the act at issue not the race - For Yukon communities such as Faro it is not always openly seen or talked about - but it's there. The sadness is in the result for all - perhaps some Faro residents could take look inward at the amount of underage and adult drinking and drugging that goes on in ANY community. This stabbing only brings out something people still want to "sweep" under the rug - these two just happen to be First Nation this time round. One can only pray that it is the event that lets people hit bottom take responsibility for choices and do something different.
