She Melted Into The Crowd

Correctional Service of Canada says a woman serving a life sentence for second-degree murder escaped a minimum-security facility in Winnipeg by walking out the back door.

[…]

[Joyce] Kringuk is described as being four feet and nine inches tall and weighing 170 pounds, with a medium complexion, brown eyes and black hair, and scars on her lower back and the inside of her right bicep. She also has several tattoos, including a heart on her left wrist, the name Joyce on her left shoulder, a heart with stars on her right wrist and the letters “JI” on her right forearm.

Healing Lodge material, that’s for sure.

  1. So murderers serving life do it in minim security prisons? Who goes to high security then? Hate speech offenders?
    Also, does Joyce have a skin color?

    1. Well she’s not as white as Colin Thatcher and I don’t think they let her bring a horse.

  2. Nothing a Smokey tent and a couple of hits on the bong wont cure.. The natives themselves end up dealing with the fallout of this grand experiment.. If they are happy then so am I..

  3. Four nine and a buck 70? Look for the first fireplug you see moving under its own power. There’s your girl.

    1. @Dumb Biker:
      Yeah, for sure she should be easy to spot.
      Now if she was cute and weighing a nice 80 lbs, child molesters could have a field day
      because she would be legal but looking like a 12-year-old child.

  4. They should make a movie about this, like “Escape from Alcatraz”, except it would only be a couple of minutes long:
    “Escape from Eagle Lodge”
    Dwarf is sitting there, eating some prison slop, says “I’ve had about enough of this sh*t!”, gets up, walks out the back door.
    Critics rave: brave, stunning, touching…

  5. Poor Joyce. She was a victim of colonization and had the additional stress of seeing all the polar bears in Nunavut dying because of the Climate Crisis.

    I have empathy for her/she.

  6. And industry pundits wonder why no one takes the new seriously?

    “Binge drinking by age 11, bipolar disorder, and multiple rapes.”

    Horrendous all no doubt but murder IS murder.

    Except when a gladue report is involved.

    Individual is Indian and therefore should not be subject to accountability because colonialism.

    Off you go to touch grass, inhale cedar fumes, recite chants, build a drum, smear dead plant on your forehead, and accept your “white man bad” trauma.

    Or, you know, exit the back door because we’re awful at accountability when it comes to tax payer’s monies.

  7. If she plays her cards right, she will find her way to the west coast where she can hide in plain sight, in either the Wangcouver or Whacktoria “homeless” community, and never be identified or have to pay her penance.
    All deadbeats and losers welcome out here, it’s all FREE FREE FREE FREE FREE.

    The bigger story is Corrections continuing to place murderers in Min security institutions, where yes, security is very lax indeed. Witness the 2 murderers that escaped Club Fed out here (William Head) and murdered a retired doctor last year. FYI, they were just convicted of the murder. Club Fed, warts and all, is designed for “low risk offenders”, generally, white collar cons, drug offenders, non-violent crimes. Except when CC thinks they can slip one by.

  8. “She also has several tattoos, including a heart on her left wrist, the name Joyce on her left shoulder, a heart with stars on her right wrist and the letters “JI” on her right forearm.”

    In case she forgets her name or initials?

    From the agreed statement of facts:

    “Kringuk then left the room to retrieve a loaded, high-powered rifle that belonged to Kringayark.
    The couple continued arguing. Kringayark stood close to a sink, while Kringuk stood near him.
    Kringuk pointed the weapon above Kringayark’s head. With her eyes closed, she lowered the weapon and pulled the trigger.
    When she opened her eyes, she saw Kringayark’s jaw attached to the rest of his body, which still stood upright.
    The bullet had struck Kringayark’s head, shattering his skull. ”

    She shot him in the back of the head, and then claimed a bunch of things not in the agreed statement of facts for her sentencing…

  9. Victims of colonialism?? Are you kidding me? Before colonialism they were 10 times as violent and 10 times as murderous and 10 times as rapey rape rapey!

    1. Hence … my suggestion that she be released to her tribe for punishment. Let her Chief mete out punishment … such as banishment to the bush with only a flint and blanket. Far from the white mans or the red man’s villages. Go FULL medieval indigenous on her ass.

    2. They never talk about the success stories of colonialism. Like the story of some of my friends who farm and ranch in SW Sask, some who are descendants of Chief Sitting Bull and the Sioux, and go to work every day, like most of us do.

  10. Good thing the PM can’t issue pardons like the US President. Sockboy blackface would issue a pardon immediately.

  11. Eagle Women’s healing Lodge ?.. While its nice the bad people are still removed I’m pretty sure the average native victim of native crime is not overjoyed at where the resources are going.. I get a dead son in a pine box and you get to apply for a federal finger painting grant?..
    They call this healing..

  12. Most of the northern news services I’ve read as of late have a banner of ads running down the side, the majority of ads are from gov’t entities. Very, very few real ads.
    There seems to be no life in the north without gov’t aid. Some landscape type photos of it look good, but it must be a dump if everyone is a dependent.

    Why didn’t those unionised federal employees stop her from walking away? Isn’t there a rule about not doing that?

  13. Here’s the problem.

    She huffed gasoline when she was most likley a young girl. In Northern Territories, that often included AV. gas that (still to this day) contains high levels of lead. (Ethyl or Tetraethyllead.) Lead in Infants and young children may contribute to behavioural problems, learning difficulties, and lower IQ due to their developing nervous systems.

    My neighbour was a bush pilot who tells me that in many Northern Communities, kids would drain the hose on lakeside pumps, soak a rag with the AV gas and huff the fumes, believing that AV gas would give them more of a high than regular unleaded or Coleman fuel that was readily available North of the 55th. Add booze, drugs, blows to the head and a diet of chips and coke and what happens??

    Now they blame colonialism, the RCMP, the Catholic priests and nuns, the doctors, the nurses, the government and the guards at the jail, the teachers and the white race. I’ve spent many years in AA, I’m white, and I’ve heard these stories for decades. I could write about this until I run out of of ink. And what will that ever solve the problem?? She will when she decides to take responsibility for her own shortcomings.

    I feel sorry for her, however a person who is dangerous to the public and to herself and her family needs to be in a place that prevents any more carnage. I wish I could help her. And tonight, I’ll recite three Our Fathers and three Hail Mary’s especially for her. I hope the powers that rule hear my pleas. May God and company keep her safe.

    1. PS: The comments in the above were my personal opinions on what MAY have happened. I could be off a tad on her favourite fuel, however I do believe that I’m accurate withing a few percentage points.

      Joe Citizen.

    2. Not to mention they got a head start on it all in the womb as there mother exhibited the same behaviour in their youth and while pregnant. Lead stays in the system and is passed on to the fetus. Plus a lot of fetal alchohol syndrome, and by that I don’t mean a couple drinks at Christmas.
