Edmonton killings raise tally to 5 homicides in 5 days
Nearly all of Edmonton's homicide detectives have been called in to deal with spike

EDMONTON: -- A violent week in Edmonton has raised the 2016 homicide count to 11 from six, the highest weekly total since 2011 when Edmonton was declared the murder capital of Canada.


The rash of killings has prompted the Edmonton Police Service to call in almost all of their 21 homicide detectives. Staff Sgt. Duane Hunter said police do not believe the deaths are related, but they have no explanation for why this weekend was so turbulent.

"There is nothing regarding these last deaths that I could draw out of them to tell you why this is happening," Hunter told CBC News. "Is it concerning? Yes, it's concerning."

I have liberal acquaintances that have linked these murders to Donald Trump and global warming...coffee1.gif

Fore sure those 2 factors have something to do with the deaths...RIP

But never forget to include the Chinese.

They used to say: Blame it on the Rolling Stones.

Now they say: Blame it on the Chinese......mostly

Cheers

Easy to figure out the cause. Easter weekend and Edmonton must also be the drunken indian capital of Canada. Maybe coincided with welfare Wednesday too?

Perfect storm.

Lived there many years and the city actually has a very small native Indian population. Regarding the horrific violence, who knows why really.
