Memorandum on the Organized Disappearance, Torture, Exploitation and Murder of Women and Children on Canada's West Coast - A Summary from Eyewitnesses
I always bring up the story about how the police have a huge headquarters building right in the area where the women disappeard from and their police cars are driving up and down that area and people from the Downtown East Side used to yell at the police cars as they were going down Hastings...."Go to the Pig Farm in Coquitlam, that's where the women went!' and still the police 'didn't get a clue'.
On the weekend, there was an almost festive mood in the courthouse, as relatives played board games, did jigsaw puzzles, crocheted and knit. They also chatted amicably while huddling under colourful blankets provided to them by victims services workers, to find off the persistent chill in the large, glass-covered foyer of the courthouse.
However, on Monday all signs of the homeyness of the weekend was gone from New Westminster Supreme Court.
No knitting or crochet needles were allowed inside because they were considered possible weapons; no board games or jigsaw puzzles on the hallway tables, or bright blankets draped over knees because regular weekday business was underway in the courthouse.
That has upset the families, most of whom are far from home and living out of hotel rooms paid for by the provincial government's victims services unit. They say a few creature comforts in the courthouse would help them pass the 11 hours daily the jury has been deliberating.
"How do they expect us to sit still all these hours before a verdict?" asked Lynn Frey, step-mother of Marnie Frey. "We've already gone through enough. We've lost our loved ones. All we want to do is knit or crochet or build a puzzle or something."
Beaudoin said the site of the families huddled under blankets, endlessly waiting in the courthouse, is something the public should see so they are reminded about the casualties of the missing women case.
"What is wrong with us sitting there with a blanket around our laps?" Beaudoin asked. "The public should know what's going on."

If you've never been to Vancouver, you should know the junction of Main and Hastings in the downtown eastside is perhaps the MOST concentrated locus of human suffering in North America.
I'm connoisseur of "bad areas" as they say in Repo Man, and there's little that compares with the non-stop pageant of misery and degradation in the heart of North America's most liveable city.
Friends from NY, LA, Houston and Detroit have confirmed this observation while partaking of the best Chinese food in on the continent right around the corner.
