Dangerous People

Dick Koetsier

It was a bright Thursday morning when the shots rang out

And the devil laughed as 4 good men hit the ground

He said if the law comes a callin I’m gonna shoot them down

And he kept his promise this time around

In a quiet town where everything seemed alright

A deadly bomb was tickin day and night

They all knew he was evil but they turned their heads

Lets change a few rules now before another good mans dead

And let this be the straw that breaks the camels back

Make the politicians act and get things back on track

Lets do those young men proud and lets make a change

Lets give the rights back to the victims

And put dangerous people away

It seems today that criminals have the upper hand

We slap them on the wrist and turn them loose again

Blame the judges blame your leaders blame yourself my friend

When trouble was brewing in Mayorthorpe

You were hiding your head in the sand

On Friday the investigation did begin

The flags flew at half mast, flowers and letters poured in

But there’s one unborn baby who’ll never meet their dad

To bad we couldn’t act when Roszco showed us he was bad

And let this be the straw that breaks the country’s back

Wake the politicians up and get us back on track

Lets do those young men proud and lets make a change

Lets give the rights back to the victims

And put dangerous people away

Lets do those young boys proud and lets just make the change

Lets give the rights back to the victims

And put dangerous people away

A Little Story To Share!

A young boy in Grande Prairie, Alberta was about to celebrate his 8th Birthday. 

His parents asked him what he would like for his birthday.  He replied,"I would like money".

At his birthday party he received .00.  When asked what he would like to do with this money, he asked to be taken to the Police Station in Grande Prairie.

His parents abliged and drove him to the RCMP Station.

The young boy entered, and turned over his .00 to the RCMP for the We Remember Memorial Fund.

On behalf of the families, and myself I would like to thank this amazing young man.  Your contribution is worth far more than words can touch upon.

Thank you,  Doug

"My granddaughter, aged 10, was so moved when she heard of the horrendous loss of these courageous men that she wrote the following poem. I thought it should be shared with the families to show the love and support they have, even from the young."

RIPPLES,

by Hayley Kenyon

As each drop falls all solid and grand

Some people's lives are just being planned

With an engagement, kids, and careers too

No one could understand the pain they went through

As a ripple, their lives faded away

But we will remember them after that day

Their families lie in bed in tears with only memories they have to keep because their love for them was so true and deep

And now I sit and wonder If they are safe up with the man who makes thunder

So let's all stand proud and tall

Before another drop begins to fall.

Dedicated to the four slain RCMP Officers who sacrificed their lives for our safety.
