WE WERE BUSY
The RCMP have absolved themselves of blame in the Pickton case.
They do acknowledge "delays in pursuing Pickton due to other high-profile investigations."
Uh-huh.
This is interesting.
And odd, because, unlike their own investigation of themselves, the Lepard review done by Vancouver police cited "jurisdictional issues, poor management and shoddy analysis of the evidence [which] derailed the probe and allowed Pickton to go on killing for another 2 1/2 years."

That is interesting because I know of someone who was interviewed by Missing Womens team,which(notwitch)was related, but also independant and not much came out of that investigation either...
With Wally busy on that inquiry it ties him up from messing up, the BC Rail Inquiry:)
Hi David, is that your little house on the front page of 24Hrs?
Hahaha...no, it isn't...mine is bigger, if I may say so in such a public forum...
So what ? This inquiry will no doubt uncover some tragic and interesting goodies (not necessarily derived from the RCMP & VPD being open & honest) and then what ? Anyone that thinks heads will role or heaven forbid some punishment handed out for bad or even negligent police work is simply dreaming.
"So What?" is not the comment of a Good Citizen.
There is a lot of WHAT here.
At least 14 more women were brutally murdered because of this sloppy and lazy police work.
I agree that this Wally Inquiry will not result in much that is substantial.
But that doesn't mean we should fold our tent and shrug and forget this hideous miscarriage of justice.
Rather than cynically muttering "So What," I suggest shouting from the rooftops, "NEVER AGAIN!"
If everyone is serious about these women then Pickton must go back to court for each and EVERY murder that he is accused of.
How can they conduct an inquiry into an incomplete investigation. Each and every murder could shed light on how the police handled themselves.

David, you may of missed my point it seems. My "so what" comment wasn't meant with disrespect to the victims, their families, you, or your readers. It was more a shot at how trivial this process will be in the end. What I mean by trivial (in the end), is that unless there is actual, meaningful punishment that at least fits the level of negligence, what's the point - it will be business as usual once the inquiry and the media spotlight is gone. As much as I WANT an inquiry, I personally find it extremely frustrating that you just know many asses will be protected in one way or another with much of the actual truth never seeing the light of day. For me, not only is that frustrating, it's sad.
