A special/emergency council meeting is scheduled for later today (25July2022) at 6pm. If you want to voice your opinion to council, your time is running out and you need to act now with the info below. Speak now or forever live in fear and cowardice.
The debate about property and Charter rights has Wingham divided, criminals vs future victims. Some believe that criminals and other trespassers have more rights than their victims. This is simply not true. You have a Right to defend yourself and your property with force. The amount of force varies in each situation, but if you fear serious harm or death you can “take care of business” as future Reeve Chris Palmer would say. Wingham has quickly become the most uncomfortable square mile in Canada for criminals.
If you discovered a trespasser in your home would you be afraid of serious harm or death? Of course you would, and you would have the Right to respond accordingly. No one has the right to seize/steal your property, not a meth head or a “town staffer” claiming authority to take your flag or other property.
Only use lethal force if you are scared for your life or of serious harm, and make sure you convey those exact words to the police when they show up to toe-tag the dirt-bag. Remember, everything you say will be used against you.
Comments from NH Councilor Chris Palmer at the 18 July council meeting have inspired and emboldened a Citizenry fed up with trespassers and property rights violations. Criminals have been put on notice via numerous social media platforms in the last few days.
