Calgary Gangs and the Justice System

Calgary police are on the search for a self-proclaimed white supremacist, Kyle Robert McKee, 24, and a teenager, 17, in suspicion of leaving explosives and devices outside an apartment unit, that were later detonated in a parking lot near by.

There are warrants out for the arrest of McKee and the 17-year-old male that cannot be named under the Youth Criminal Justice Act. They are wanted on charges of attempted murder; possessing, making or controlling explosives; and possessing a weapon or an imitation for a dangerous purpose.

Calgary officials say that McKee has relations to a white supremacist group in Calgary, but they also believe that this was not a hate crime.

Staff Sgt. Keith Cain said Monday, “It’s not really a concern who they’re linked too,” then later on goes onto saying “Anyone using a bomb is a serious concern for us and obviously we want to locate these persons and get them under arrest, or in a custody, as soon as possible.”

Police responded to gunshots were heard Saturday morning in the block of 5300 on Rundlehorn Drive N.E.

A ground floor resident of the apartment building heard a noise outside and found two home made bombs, Cain said. The man then threw the devices into the parking lot where they exploded.

“If he hasn’t had thrown it away, he could have been injured inside, but if he has picked it up three or four seconds later, he could have been killed or injured throwing it away,” duty Insp. Frank Reuser said Saturday. “So it’s one of those situation where you’re damned if you do and damned if you don’t.”

In the parking lot, a vehicle was damaged but no one was hurt.


This article is very eye-opening. It shows that Calgary has many other kind of gangs that aren't drug related but race. It shows that ideologies of the early 1900's are still being practiced. This article didn't have an author, but it comes from a trustworthy source (CBC).
