The daily humiliations of life under state domination do not always go unanswered, sometimes people decide that enough is enough. An individual chose to target specific culprits in broad daylight on may 22nd, setting fire to the exterior wall of the RCMP detachment in Fort Nelson with officers still inside.
The occupants must have been surprised when the air intake/air conditioner pulled a “considerable amount of smoke inside” which resulted in an evacuation of the building. We are sad to learn that the fire was extinguished, a suspect arrested, and this wretched building continues to stand.
In a region pilfered by logging, LNG fracking and the inseparable violence of poverty, alienation, and extractivism revolt is no surprise. We hope this one of many more threads to come in a tapestry of resistance against the control of the canadian state.
