Dear, Your Honor, My name is Mr. Driscal. and this is an Victim Impact Statement about my son, Peter.
On November 2, 2001 at 5:23 pm on a windy day in Kamloops, BC, Canada...Peter ratted on Cole for breaking into, robbing and trashing a hardware store. He may not have caught it if he didn't brag about it at school. Cole had picked on Peter many times prior to this vicious attack. In the hall, Cole sees Peter and says "You're a dead man!". After school, Cole pounded Peter bloody, hit him hard in the face with bare fists. Peter then tripped and fell to the ground when he tried to escape. Cole then jumped on him again and started smashing his head against the sidewalk. Took 6 other students to pull Cole off. By then my son was cowering on a blood-smeared sidewalk sobbing. Cole laughed and continued to spit at Peter as he lay there. After Cole's vicious attack on Peter, Cole was sent to the detention centre until they decide what to do with him.

Dear, Your Honor, My name is Mr. Driscal, again. As parents, we are distraught about our son's condition. Cole's vicious attack on my son, Peter has physically caused brain trauma and slurred speech and diminished coordination. Peter was hospitalized and doctors reported that he might suffer permanent damage. It is unknown if he will get better. Emotionally, Peter wakes up every night with vivid nightmares, often crying and screaming in panic. Peter feels helpless as we do as parents. He often feels embarrassed around his peers as he couldn't fight back. Peter is worried of what kids think of him. Peter doesn't feel any connections emotionally, physically and socially. Peter wants to belong but Cole has taken that away. Socially, Peter is shy, quiet and terrified. He's more terrified of Cole's presence after that moment forward. He too harbors anger now, but directed towards Cole.

Dear, Your Honor again, it's Mr. Driscal, again. I think that Cole should go to juvenille hall and then prison because Cole injured my son, Peter. By Cole going to juvenille hall, he'll learn his lesson to have courses, managements and being alone and scared and has to think of what he has done to Peter. I just hope Peter will get better soon and will not have slurred speech and brain trauma again. Cole will have to be banished to prison for one whole year and after that, we'll have to see if he's allowed to be free.

Circle Justice is Native-American form that heals the offender, victim and the community surrounding circle.

The Spirit Bear is a mythical, white ghost bear who appears and vanishes as Cole sees the bear and the bear is curious about Cole. The Spirit Bear attacks Cole laying there for dead comes back and stares over him. The Spirit Bear continues to walk away.

Cole gave Peter head trauma, speech problems, broken into a hardware store and has done many crimes of the past. That's why he was sent to an Alaskan remote island.

What I learned about this aboriginal culture is The Kermode Bear and Circle Justice and how the people respect and live off the land and animals and nature and they look for healing instead of serious punishment.

a) Do you believe Cole is a victim or villain?
I think that Cole is NOT a villain! But, I do think a little that he's a victim. Why? Because he didn't mean to hurt Peter Driscal. But TOTALLY, he is NOT a villain!

b) How do you think Peter Driscal's family feels..?
Well, they want Cole to suffer after hurting Peter. They want Cole to have consonquences for his actions. They felt, sad, mad and disapointed at Cole. And they felt really sad for Peter. They want Cole to go to Jail.
