I am currently reading the book you see pictured right here. It's a tough one. The author, Stevie Cameron, not only talks about the events leading up to the horror story that this farm became, she goes into the personal lives of many of the women who were to fall victim to this vicious and vile predator. She also talks about pickton's own upbringing, which predictably was terrible as well. But the one thing that strikes me the most, is the police and public indifference to all of these women going missing. No one gave a shit. The fucking cops were telling the families of the missing women that they were out "partying", and even told the family of one of the women that she was probably "on a cruise".Fucking assholes. I had my suspicions from the first day that cops were at some of the pickton parties, along with the occasional politician, and the book implies that this was indeed the case. They can do all of the fucking "look at the nice cops trying to help the down and out" documentaries that they want, but the truth remains that they are the sworn upholders of a fucking criminal system, and at least for some, they can be as disgusting as the creeps they eventually arrest, and as heartless as the system they keep in place at the barrel of a fucking gun. Find this book and read it. You need to.
