New court documents revealed further allegations about the gunman, including that he was a sexual predator who smuggled guns and sold drugs

Susan Larder, centre, and Carol Millett join a demonstration in Halifax on July 27, 2020 demanding a public inquiry into Canada's deadliest mass shooting in April.Nova Scotians took to the streets Monday to push for a public inquiry into Canada’s deadliest mass shooting as new court documents revealed further allegations about the gunman, including that he was a sexual predator who smuggled guns and sold drugs.

These witnesses, interviewed by police after the April killings, are not identified. They include neighbours, family members and employees, including one who said the gunman described how to dissolve bodies and kept chemicals for this purpose under his deck. This same person called him a sexual predator, but for reasons not revealed in the documents.

“It’s not something we want to do, but with them wanting to do a review instead of a public inquiry, it’s something we’re forced to do.”Cathy Mansley, a former RCMP officer who lives in Port Hawkesbury, N.S., said she doesn’t think the demonstrations will end until the governments reverse their decision.

The demonstrators are angry there were no criminal charges against the gunman in the years leading up to his attack, despite multiple domestic violence and weapons complaints. His rampage started on April 18 in Portapique, N.S., with an assault on his common-law wife.

A full and thorough INQUIRY would not only provide the family with the answers to many questions, but provide hope for the front line RCMP officers patrolling the rural communities - their hushed requests for support and resources would then be heard via the INQUIRY’s outcome.

MadelineAshby As they should. Rightly.

As well, the RCMP leadership has been failing miserably to properly train and equip first responders; develop leaders; and adhere to their own operational policies. Although recognized as a national icon, the force is no longer operationally competent.

The Feds and the Province don’t want the truth to come out. The RCMP cannot police rural areas of the country for the amount of $$$ they are given. They will show they have the right ratios, but those numbers do not reflect officers off injured, sick, training and vacation.

As they should the RCMP IGNORED domestic violence calls, ILLEGAL firearms calls from his father, and failed to warn the public allowing up to 9 to be killed...then they caught him by ACCIDENT...this makes one wonder whether the RCMP should be disbanded for INCOMPETENCE..!!!

Why was the murderer on the RCMP payroll? He got $500k in cash just days before his rampage

Keep on it folks.
