News πŸ“° Kids need to be controlled in Stoon

569 Upvotes

I was waiting for the bus yesterday at the confederation terminal and I (18F) was sitting there on my phone minding my own business while listening to music. Two girls came up to me, they looked younger than me , maybe 15 to 16 years old, one with a plain red sweater with a backpack while the other had purple and black hair. They asked if the library was open, it was not considering it was Sunday so they asked when the #2 arrived. I looked it up and told them and they thanked me. They then proceeded to ask if I had ever been in a fight before (I should've seen this coming ngl), I've never been in a situation where I needed to fight so I told them no. Then they asked if I had ever been maced, I told them no once again. she pulled her backpack towards her front " do you want to get maced ?" she then told me to give her my phone. I proceeded grab my bag of groceries and stand up, which prompted her to get right in my face. A car with its window rolled down happened to drive by and I yelled "Can I have some help?!" and I explained what was happening and he yelled at them until they walked away. The guy asked me where I was going and offered me a ride, which I declined cause he's still a stranger, then he offered to stay at the mall and wait for them to leave. The two girls hopped on the 65 and stared at me through the window until they realized that the guy was not going to leave, which then prompted them go walk across the street to the cosmo civic center. The guy asked if I would be okay on my own, I said yes and he drove off. I'm glad there are still some good people in Saskatoon, but there are some kids that are psychopaths. I'm going to start carrying a weapon for my protection, cause this is getting ridiculous.

Wondering if this not-criminally-responsible assessment (NCRA) works or not. It’s really interesting when the girl told the police during the arrest that β€œ voices told me to do things”- and she has a history of autism, psychotic disorder and β€œmade several mental health hospital visits over the summer. She has been under the care of a different psychiatrist while remanded”

Will wait and see till the next court on October 25,2025. Hope Justice will be served as life has been ruined & 3 others have been affected!

It's homes. It looks like homes. With appropriate supports from the United Way and other agencies on site, rent capped at 30% of income (even if you're on disability or welfare), and a location that angered the local residents because it's not remote enough.

News πŸ“° Two guys arrested for drug trafficking where I work

230 Upvotes

idk if i used the right flair, correct me if i didnt.

I work at a pet store and something wild and wacky happened today.

Two guys come in with their dog. Its a normal interaction, my coworker is helping them pick out a new toy for the retriever. Suddenly a dozen men in green special forces uniforms and equipped with beanbag guns burst in and yell "HANDS!!" The two guys start freaking out being like "oohhhh what did we do??"

Turns out these guys have been trafficking cocaine for awhile, and the investigation led them right to our humble location.

I was on my break at the time, eating a chicken sandwich (which was freaking amazing), but I had my headphones in so I completely missed the whole thing. I come out not 15 minutes later and see a guy sitting at the front with handcuffs on and a couple cops in civilian clothes going in and out the front door.

This is the kinda thing you only think happens in movies until it happens in close proximity to you. To any junkies reading, sorry, doesnt look like youll be able to reach your plug for awhile

EDIT: oops, removed the exact location so corporate doesnt get mad at me
