It's time for the citizens of merritt to stand up and fight this problem. Maybe it is time for a town hall meeting or some way to get together to figure out what has to be done, because something definitely has to be done. We need to have representatives of city council, the police, the justice system, our MP's and the community to come together and figure out a solution to this problem. We can no longer accept this criminal activity in our town nor can we accept the trivial punishment being handed out to these criminals. It's time to lobby whoever it is we have to to get this problem fixed. If all the participants listed above could meet, I'm sure we could figure out a way to approach this problem that would bring our community a solution. We deserve better then we are getting, and more importantly our children deserve better then they have coming if we don't end this now. Tim Faubert Merritt - --- MAP posted-by: Elaine
