Accused Canadian serial murderer admits killing four #Indigenous women

Jeremy Skibicki, charged with four counts of first-degree murder, is believed to have left bodies of at least two victims in a landfill.

His lawyers are saying he's just a mentaly disturbed white guy.

Hey, y'all! I'm going to do a #Redbone #music #appreciation thread here.

Redbone should be added to #RockNRoll hall of fame. This #Indigenous #RockBand emerged in the #70s & I absolutely LOVE THEM!

Did you know that Redbone collaborated with Cyndi Lauper, in the 80s? Girls Just Wanna Have Fun wouldn't have existed without Redbone!

Vancouver Island University, my employer, is now threatening to remove the encampment and have people arrested. I'm absolutely sick.

I had corresponded with our President on May 1. I sent this to our Chancellor, Chair and President.

Dear Chancellor Sayers, Chair Anderson, and President Saucier,

I am extremely concerned by the escalatory words and actions of VIU today given the encampment’s peaceful and respectful nature and disposition to date. The President has stated to me in her response quoted below on May 1 "that VIU’s approach to the encampment is based on respect and peace for protest and freedom of expression.”

The locking of all campus buildings today and the very clear threat by VIU Security (see attached noticed link) to have peace officers remove tents and equipment under the Trespass Act under threat of arrest is completely contradictory to the President’s statement and is exactly the approach that I flagged to the President as being extremely dangerous and likely to result in harm to the protesters and deep embarrassment to the University itself. There are peaceful ways to do this.

As an institution that is supposed to be fully immersed in the spirit and action of Truth and Reconciliation, I find these statements and actions to be horrendously contradictory, misguided, colonial, and dangerous.

As an individual employee, VIUFA faculty member, and member of this community on Snuneymuxw, Coast Salish and Nuuchanulth lands I am embarrassed, and I beg the University to reconsider and reverse its actions.

Sincerely,
Chris Alemany

Warriors are not what you think of as warriors. The warrior is not someone who fights, because no one has the right to take another life. The warrior, for us, is one who sacrifices himself for the good of others. His task is to take care of the elderly, the defenseless, those who cannot provide for themselves, and above all, the children, the future of humanity. —Sitting Bull (c. 1831 - 1890), Hunkpapa Sioux.

@freemo But this again might be just a timeline thing and considering evolution progresses we might need to accept diversity (just it's more better and fun for us with some moderation and control) and so we could welcome it / figure to live with both (which is maybe what you're saying also).

The perspective of native / non-native seems a bit of a human perspective and binary / slightly discriminatory as it's all evolving and maybe surely we can't keep it all native unless everything is staying more static 'over there' and 'not here'...

Don't want to take to extreme but I hope it's not unfair comparison to imagine people in same way and if 'in theory' we or those elements could be educated / moderated then less fascism 'could' exist but then again it does seem 'them or us' in this example... Maybe should stick to #native / non-native but it rings strongly of #indigenous and non-indigenous with world is changing, which is no doubt going to happen either way it seems...
