For those of you in Kamloops for the weekend and for those of you who may have missed it, there was an interesting development in the on-going saga of what is the Vancouver-Gang-Execution-Soap-Opera.
Both BCTV and UTV (I prefer the pre-Global days), aired a segment that reported an execution-style murder in a barber shop on 49th & Victoria over the weekend (Friday -- I think). The shooter crashed a van on the sidewalk/light pole, jumped out, ran into the barber shop and shot two people in the head. The interesting point is that both News Stations, clearly filmed and present the van -- a Sportstown van.
Now, one of two things is going on here. Either, (1) the Sportstown employs the killer or is in someway involved in the murder, or (2) the news stations should have mentioned that a Sportstown van was likely stolen and used in the act, since the killer would be an idiot to use his company van, for fear of being caught. The news failed to mention or ask the police regarding this point.
This is poor reporting, and if I were Sportstown (asumming they're not involved) I'd be sending off a stern letter immediately.
