“When government is no longer able to protect people and their property, we are in a dangerous place,” said Mayor Leonard Krog. “As a result, some people feel they have no option but to take matters into their own hands.”
Nanaimo Mayor Leonard Krog says the city needs senior governments to step up after a businessman trying to retrieve stolen property from a downtown encampment was shot Sunday afternoon.“Our city is not able to fix the underlying issues that have led to the problems we are facing and the kind of situation that unfolded here on Sunday,” he said. “When government is no longer able to protect people and their property, we are in a dangerous place.
Krog reiterated previous appeals to the federal and provincial governments to take “meaningful action” with policies that can deal with violent offenders and help vulnerable people living on the streets. He said people can get “very frustrated” and may feel that the court system isn’t working and police can’t do enough.
