Totally agree. It’s so scary. I was in a really bad relationship once as well and I am so lucky to have survived. I wouldn’t have left if I knew the danger I would actually be in. I made it out but barely.Deleted quoted post. You know
That monster was as sick as the day is long for a VERY long time. Just shaking my head. The regrettable part is, LE’s hands are tied in these situations as one of our new LE members stated. Until they actually follow through and do something outright illegal, there’s little they can doI remember feeling afraid many years ago and calling LE. And that’s what they told me.
On a similar note, another WS member brought up the subject of DV and how things need to change. From my limited perspective, one of the things that needs to change is educating young women on what emotional and psychological abuse looks like. It took me 13 years to figure it out. I had no idea what was happening to me, just always thinking it must be my fault that he acted the way he did. I want our young women to understand how it presents itself, so they SEE the red flags and walk away. I’m glad his gf survived this, but the trauma that was unleashed on others will unfortunately be with her for the rest of her life and all those that are suffering through the horror of what he did to their loved ones.
Well, if our government thought it was SO important to send us an Emergency Alert (and you KNOW how loud they are) at midnight, not once, but twice, to warn us to stay at home amid the Covid 19 pandemic (like where exactly did they think we would be, seeing we were told to shelter in place and it was midnight), I don’t understand how the horrific events of that night didn’t meet the criteria of an “imminent threat to life.” Common sense should have told “someone” they needed to warn the good people of NS. The Covid 19 alert was entirely unnecessary as the danger was in no way “imminent” at midnight, on that particular night. I get that it had never been used in the instance of a mass shooter before, but we don’t often have a mass murderer on the loose that’s burning down everything in his path. I do truly believe it may have saved a few lives. We’ve never had a pandemic here either and they made sure we got that “alert” at MIDNIGHT.
I think he slept somewhere, but where would he feel safe? I've read plenty of accounts of murderers sleeping in the middle of a crime, being exhausted by the adrenaline, alcohol, maybe had been sleepless on previous nights. Then, the next morning, decided what to do next. We know what decision he came to.
Glad you made it out and survived. It’s scary how many don’t
You too susiQ! <3Glad you made it out and survived. It’s scary how many don’t

From my recollection of the press conference today, it was not RCMP who saw a car driving across a field. It was someone in the community who was being interviewed by RCMP who reported this, and they reported it Sunday morning.
He was likely already on Orchard Beach Rd, perhaps where he had stored the vehicle at his other property, when LE arrived to investigate the first fires on Portapique Beach Rd. I think the EMS were staging at #2 hwy (Gloosclap Trail) and Portapique Beach Rd. If he drove up Orchard Beach Rd and drove across the field before Orchard Beach Rd joins Portapique Beach Road he could evade LE by taking Brown Loop which appears to be a dirt road that leads up to #2, away from the staging area. He could continue on #2 to Station Rd, and go left. It changes into Carrobie Rd which would take him to #4, then north to Wentworth. Back road and out of sight. He may have headed up there and found a quiet place to hunker down until daybreak. Just a thought.
