Rant!Line Submission: Police and the crap that they get away with!

powered by ODEO

Here’s another Rant! directed at the Anti-Poverty Committee. Perhaps they would like to submit their side of the story?

To the anti poverty committee, If your group associates themselves with people who are against freedom of the press, I and many other hard working people will never support you.

You have successfully cut all of your ties to the tax paying and law abiding public.

Until now I understood you when you would peacefully occupied buildings and held sit, but the violent protest that you were part of on March 15, 2007 was disgusting and you owe the tax paying public an apology.

The civil rights movement, apartheid, Indian independence, were all done peacefully. You people can learn lessons from them.

British Columbia currently has record low employment. I suggest that mentoring, or guiding, people afflicted with poverty in the direction of job training and government supported programs to get them jobs.

For the folks with drug and alcohol problems, well even the rich do loads of drugs and alcohol. Yet they get up in the morning and GO TO WORK!

As for the homeless, well when I moved here from Alberta, I was homeless in 94. Now I own my home.

How did I do it, I made resumes and put a fake address down.

The government of Canada has a website, and if you click on jobs people can build there resumes there. I suggest that you bring in people off of the streets and show them how to do it.

Aghhh I can’t believe you people would assault a journalistic camera. What ever happened to freedom of the press? You guys are very disappointing. Clearly you have no serious mandate or respect the people of this city or the city itself. Fuck the police, Fuck you!

This comment showed up from a Rant to the Anti-poverty Committee and I thought everyone would want to have a look.

More protesting….When will it end! Keep Betty in jail, thats where she belongs anyway! But all it is doing is giving something more for these lowlifes to protest about, and more reasons to vandalize our beautiful city. Yes, drowning out a children’s choir is going to make VANOC all of the sudden realize that the Olympics are wrong here and that we should spend all of our money on the homeless. F*** That! Spend the money on the Olympics! I would rather have my tax dollars go to the Olympics, then to go to helping some drug addicts who can’t even do anything about there own situation besides blame other people for their misfortunes.

Get a job, and if you already have one…Get a second one….You might have a little less time to smoke that joint or to go to your protest rally, but you will have a roof over your head!!!

Damn Protesters

This is to all the people that find it perfectly fine to clip their nails in public. Nobody wants to look at you trim your nails at 7 AM especially when they are sitting across from you on the Skytrain.

It’s fine and dandy that you enjoy properly manicured nails, but it is not fine to do it in public and let your nail trimming fall on the ground in front of me.

How about trying what the polite general public does and trim your nails at home!

How hard is it for people to read signs? Why do some insist on standing right in the middle of an escalator at Skytrain stations?

Those signs are there for a reason people! PLEASE WALK LEFT & STAND RIGHT!
