3 people dead in Maple Ridge following ‘neighbourhood dispute’

The thing that annoys me about these reports is we never get a follow-up. Last incomplete reporting is from Thursday, and that’s likely the last we’ll get.

Its crazy what people can do in a moment of rage. I grew up in a small prairie town that had nearly zero violence and then one day a guy decided to cut down some very old oak trees that were a windbreak for a rural property. The tree owner argued with him but he insisted he had permission to remove them. The owner, a normally very gentle guy, went in the house got his gun and shot the tree cutter to death. He did years in the penitentiary for it. Good church going man who destroyed his own life and caused his family a great deal of grief over 5 minutes of uncontrolled rage.

What I find crazy about all of this is getting so violent about what is likely petty neighbour disputes. Like I understand it is annoying, but a murder suicide over this stuff, like you gotta be objective here.
