Tolerance is not infinite. Eventually some people will fight back.
No kidding, all I can say is if any one of them ever came after my spouse at her work, the authorities better keep them in jail, for their own safety .Tolerance is not infinite. Eventually some people will fight back.
That story should be a PAO dream story, but I doubt they print it as it does not speak about his gender transformation at the same time. A big BZ to the sailor.One of my sailors stopped a knife attack a couple of days ago:
Another random attack in downtown Victoria sees man threatened with a knife
VicPD are investigating another random attack in Victoria that saw a man threatened with a knife yesterday.www.victoriabuzz.com
This is also about 5% of the story....
What the story leaves out is after this knife wielding man tried to stab my sailor who successfully kept his distance, the assailant tried to approach an old man and stab him.
My sailor yelled at the old man who got in his car and locked the doors, he then chased the assailant (who ran away) for 15 minutes on a foot pursuit while talking to dispatchers and keeping them on the line.
At one point he lost the suspect who had ducked in to an alleyway but then saw him again (suspect had thrown his hat away and ditch his coat and clothes ), he had also ditched the knife). My sailor recognized him and continue to follow him.
Officers arrived about 20 minutes after the initial attack and took the suspect down at gunpoint. They also had a K9 unit arrive and the dog found the knife and additional clothing.
They took my Sailor's statement, arrested the assailant and left. Apparently the suspect had been released from jail the day before.
My sailor lives in the neighborhood and was walking and saw the same suspect yesterday apparently out on the streets again
You're all on your own and you better be prepared for a fight when it happens, 20 min for the cops to show up
I'm nominating him for a commendation btw.
My spouse cannot wait to leave Victoria. She hates it here and hates working downtown. She also hates homeless people now. Funny considering she used to want to be a social worker LOL

I think the pendulum is in the early stages of swinging back with a vengeance.Tolerance is not infinite. Eventually some people will fight back.
Man, Victoria is starting to sound like downtown Floodpeg...
It happens every year. Fires or floods.Man, Victoria is starting to sound like downtown Floodpeg...
Yes indeed.Shame. The area used to be rich with game and hobby shops.
It happens every year. Fires or floods.
And our own population of ne’er do wells are quite well entrenched
Funny thing, there are parts of Douglas I woudn't be caught alone and unarmed after dark well before COVID started, even when I was growing up in the 80's.
Sad.
I was in Vancouver over the weekend. Took a drive down Hastings just to show my wife. "See honey, things aren't so bad in Victoria!"I saw a guy the other day just off of Douglas and View Street junction, slumped in a stairwell unconscious, with a needle in his hand. He'd clearly checked out after shooting up.
Yes, I kept walking...

I did like the solitary VPD car sitting there with their lights on, Officer on their cellphone sitting in the car. About a 100 street people are beside them just tweaking.
Every single one of those people should be institutionalized, housed, fed, etc. Until such time that they are capable of looking after themselves.
I did my trauma rotation at VGH, over off West Broadway - we were warned that if we had a car, be very careful of surroundings as the homeless folks and the addicts made a habit of jumping in front of moving cars to get smoked so they'd end up in hospital for a bit. I used to hate running around there, as you're fighting for space with usual foot traffic but also people sprawled out everywhere panhandling and such - my hurdles improved though. When I'd have to go to CFRC Det Van as Bitch de Semaine, before they moved to New West, I'd often end up in a hotel near Hastings and would have to walk past St Paul's Hospital...dodging literal puddles of vomit/piss/shit and God knows whatever else on the sidewalks.I was in Vancouver over the weekend.

Commendation, hell. Put him in for a Medal of Bravery. You also don’t have to go through CAF for that.One of my sailors stopped a knife attack a couple of days ago:

Well if you want the bigger lads to stay big while protecting your establishment, that’s a good place for them to work!I remember seeing McBouncers at the McDonald’s on Douglas and View in the early 90’s.
The McDonalds on Rideau Street in downtown Ottawa was notoriously stupid a few nights of the week, and used to have security guards as well. The shenanigans at that particular restaurant eventually got so bad they stopped staying open 24/7.Well if you want the bigger lads to stay big while protecting your establishment, that’s a good place for them to work!
Seriously though, bouncers at a McDonalds? I feel like this is Demolition Man.
