Campbell River RCMP respond to reports of teenagers trying to fight homeless people
The teenagers, who RCMP say in a Facebook post, were predominantly in pickup trucks and were highly intoxicated.
The post says police can see the frustration that is caused by crime issues that accompany homeless and addiction issues, but vigilante justice is not an effective way to handle the situation.“Add to the fact that most of these teens were highly intoxicated and you have an extreme recipe for disaster, one that could very well end tragically with someone’s death,” the Facebook post says.
“Quite frankly our community is better than this, and these young people should be ashamed of their actions,” Tyre said. To this, RCMP said picking fights with the homeless is just creating more of the same issue rather than solutions.
