I would bet good money that the people involved are probably known to the justice system and given a free out by the catch and release courts around here. Light or no punishments given for crimes only incentivizes doing it again. Laws don't stop criminals, consequences does.

*removed* It must be nice to stay all comfy wumfy out in beautiful Naramata, when here in Penticton we all live in fear daily. But please for the love of God, don't anyone get involved, just turn a blind eye as usual. As we know, when it doesn't affect you personally who cares right? Well bad news everyone, it will only continue to get worse, these people are NOT from Penticton and were bused here by Eby and Bloomfield who is in on this destruction.

Even if they werent, the police are so busy dealing with the ones who have escaped justice that they cant be effective
