I was watching the news and the top story was about a man who was recently swarmed and brutally beaten by five males in Highfield Park. Did anyone else see this story? I say “males” and not “men” because five on one is incredibly cowardly. This victim of this brutal assault had to have facial reconstruction surgery and was a mess.
He was lamenting that he didn’t feel police were doing enough to catch these thugs.
I have to say I agree, as I remember reading about this after it was originally reported last week and later watched the report on the evening news, and remarked at the time that there weren’t any descriptions given for these “walking pieces of garbage.”
Did these thugs have absolutely no physical description?
HRP are always asking for the public’s help to solve violent crimes yet when it comes to providing the very same public with vital information, perhaps giving somebody a “heads-up” of what to look out for so as maybe not to not unwittingly fall into a similar situation…they completely fail.
Is this responsible policing worthy of our tax paying dollars?
Shouldn’t we have the right to know the physical descriptions?
It’s not hard to see how HRP still haven’t solved a murder in that same area of town from a few years back…and most likely never will.
Not to mention the inordinately large number of other unsolved murders in the HRM.
From time to time we’re told through local media spin that Halifax is a relatively safe city, and statistics are provided to prove it.
If this is true, I would say it has more to do with luck or that the bad guys are already inside than good policing or any “minor deterrent” that the courts might hand out.
HRP might just as well continue policing with their double-double in one hand and honey cruller in the other. —Double-Single

  1. Okay, lets see…

    5 Males, aged 18 to 25. Ranging from Black to White, dressed in jeans and hoodies/jersies. You see the problem there right? The person was jumped at night, correct? Two factors, plus a shit-kicking, that makes identification incredibly difficult.
    I’ve lived in Highfield park, and when the police gave descriptions of crime suspects, I would see at least 10 people in a weeks span that fit the profile exactly.

  2. the real problem here, is that there are not enough cops on the beat anymore. years ago, they had the feet on the ground, in all kinds of weather. today, they are afraid to get a little damp on them. another problem too is the funding for more cops. hrm in all it’s glory, bit off a lot more than they could manage with amalgamation of the outlying areas.
    sure there were the usual shitheads back then, but it was never as bad as now. and the hell’s angels also help keep these little pieces of shit in check. now, fuck me, just about every 5th. house is a crack house or home to a dope dealer. and we won’t even go there about guns. but if we did, i still say let the people arm themselves, to even out the scene. if the little hoods thought someone had a weaponn on them, that would cut down on swarmings, robberies, and even sex crimes.
    but hey, most people are too fucking chicken to carry a weapon nowadays, and even if they did, it would be some pussy little kind of thing. if you are outside your home, and getting thumped, i just bet that you would wish to fuck for something to help defend yourself with. yeah, i know, wishful thinking, and yeah, a gun is extreme. but you tell me then, what the fuck deters them, nothing. the courts will give them a tap on wrist, and tell them not to do it again, or not to get caught next time. where and fucking when does it stop. i hope to fuck, that one of these high horse fucking polititions get swarmed or robbed or what the fuck ever. bet you then that there would be a lot of changes in how many are nailed. and i bet the time served will be a fuck lot more than court appearences. FUCKING DEFEND YOURSELF PEOPLE. fuck with me, you will find yourself in a bag, p.d.q.

  3. Yeah Suckster, that’s what we need, MORE GUNS! YeeeeeHAW!

    http://www.hayabusa.org/forum/attachments/…

    Let’s take a hint from our buddies in America and arm the entire country. That’ll be sure to drive down crime rates.

    Tell me, what happens when you pull a gun on someone to defend yourself? Well, since everyone is armed, you end up having a gun pulled on yourself. And just so you know, the bad ass who attacked you in the first place is usually more likely to pull the trigger then some Joe Somebody from the neighborhood on his way home from the corner store.

  4. Oh shuddup. The police can only do so much with this shit system.

    Also, it’s funny that a Harper-Hater has such conservative views on crime 😉

  5. I’m guessing this is the incident you’re talking about OB:

    http://thechronicleherald.ca/metro/105627-…

    “…and remarked at the time that there weren’t any descriptions given for these “walking pieces of garbage.” Did these thugs have absolutely no physical description?”

    I’m not a cop nor am I defending the HRPD but the answer to your question seems to be pretty simple, OB.
    If you read, you’ll notice that, although they were in the area, the police were not present when the assault took place so, they didn’t see the attackers.
    They saw a group of area residents come to this gentleman’s aid but, again, “He was already on the ground and being beaten when neighbors noticed the attack in progress from their homes.” After questioning, none of the residents were able to provide a useful description, (hence the uncertainty of whether it was 6 or 7 people involved), because: A)It was 1 AM, hence dark; B)It was foggy, hence reduced visibility, and; C)They were a distance away, hence too far to determine details/descriptions. Now, I don’t know if the victim was able to provide any type of descriptions to the police, I haven’t seen anything saying that he had. So, if that’s the case, the police can’t go public with a description because they don’t have one and it’s going to take longer to try and determine who these pieces of shit are because of that.

  6. okay kraptan, by your opinion, maybe he shouldn’t smoke either then. seeing as how he went out in a really safe area to get some. and zilla, yeah, i am a real fucking badass.
    so kraptan, how do you solve the fucking problem, get down and pray it don’t happen. lot of fucking good that does/will do. people have got to learn how to fucking defend themselves, even if it comes down to taking a martial arts course. who will be the next murder victem people? will it be you? bet it fucking well won’t be me.

  7. “but hey, most people are too fucking chicken to carry a weapon nowadays”

    yeah, we’re all ‘chicken’ to not be handed concealed weapons charges…
    it’s fucking illegal man.
    I mean, it COULD snow today…
    but I’m not about to bring my parka and snow pants with me everywhere…

  8. Yes I would advise a self-defense class, especially for people living in the more crime oriented neighborhoods. I’ve taken Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, it provides you with enough to disarm and discourage would-be attackers. Not going out by yourself at 1:00am helps too.

    What you’re advising will result in more death. Not a solution to the problem. You’re over reacting to a problem that has much simpler solutions than giving everyone the means to murder.

    And WTF is this ‘safe area’? Didn’t he get jumped in Highfield? Also, there’s plenty of swarmings throughout Halifax, it’s not confined to one specific area.

  9. Guide to being a successful poster like zZz:

    Vaguely reference topic.

    Post picture you think is “rely funni”

    Constantly refresh page to see responses.

    See a like or two.

    Walk away assuming you are the most witty and funniest poster on the website.

    Guide to being a successful troll like mex_godzilla:

    Avoid referencing topic.

    Point out flaws in the logic of others.

    Laugh as people try to counter troll.

    Post unfunny memes you found on the internet to be hip and current.

    Watch for likes to feel validated by your LTWWB peers

    Wait until someone posts something you don’t like.

    Attack them!

    Regardless of what they say mention having sex with their mother.

    Walk away feeling like the majority of the regulars tolerate your bullshit.

    Realize they hate you.

    Cry alone.

    Wait a minute….you’re a troll….you dont give a fuck.

    Everyone loves you and if they don’t then you can fuck their mothers.

    lalalalalalala not a single fuck is given.

  10. Didn’t I already troll you to the point where I made you look like a retard trying to do a simple math problem? ah right…yeah I did do that.

    Lrn2readingcomprehension

    I referenced my peers. As in people I feel are my equals….you aren’t one of them. Although I gain no pleasure from trolling you so I won’t.

  11. hahaha sorry man. ur mother is whore and I wrap my shit up when I fuck. So if you are looking for your brothers father then you should check around the methadone clinic….I heard your mother hangs around there quite frequently.

  12. First mistake: I don’t care what I look like online (A lesson I learned from you, the ugliest POS around)

    And you’re right, you’ve got a few more steps to climb to make it to my level, little buddy. But don’t worry, I’ll be at the top shouting down encouragements.

    Question: Can you have mutual trolling? Because there’s no way you have a monopoly on this shit.

  13. “First mistake: I don’t care what I look like online (A lesson I learned from you, the ugliest POS around)”

    Somehow you brought physical appearance into this….I think its your lack of reading comprehension again.

    “And you’re right, you’ve got a few more steps to climb to make it to my level, little buddy. But don’t worry, I’ll be at the top shouting down encouragements. “

    This will be the second time I’ve trolled you to the point of being mad enough to not think your posts out before angrily hitting the post comment button.

    “Question: Can you have mutual trolling? Because there’s no way you have a monopoly on this shit.”

    No. I never claimed I have monopoly on trolling. Montrealman does it all the time in a way that makes me look terrible at it. You won’t ever be a noteworthy troll because you lack the type of wit and intelligence required to do it.

    Are you done? Or shall I continue to make you look like a fuckwit who can’t handle the most basic type of trolling.

  14. “I made you look like a retard trying to do a simple math problem”
    “Somehow you brought physical appearance into this…”

    That’s referencing appearances right there. You brought up the physical aspect, not me.

    “As in people I feel are my equals….you aren’t one of them”

    Sorry, I used levels to describe what you meant with equals. I’ll try to use simple coloured drawings to illustrate my point next time, Simple Lizard.

    Me mad? Unfortunately not. I’ll give you $20 bucks if you can actually make me mad. So please do continue!

    Also, Montrealman is a pretty good Troll.

  15. Of course if there was a cop on every corner, people would complain that Harper (because afterall he is pure evil) is going down THAT road and soon people will be asked for their papers.

    It’s impossible to convict with vague descriptions and no evidence. Unless someone comes forward there is little chance of charges ever being laid. Further it is quite possible they do know (as they most likely know who have committed the murders here) but without the evidence they can’t lay the charges.

  16. Effective policing? Isn’t that an oxymoron? Maybe we need to start walking around in groups of 10 and start kicking some little hoodscrat ass.

  17. The Highfield Incident Needn’t Be Like Under-reported. Even Luka Is News Everywhere.

  18. shitd, that was tried with those pussy gaurdian angels, remember. and what the fuck ever happened to them, after they got their nice cute little red jackies?
    the answer is not a simple one here. and as long as there are wusses for judges, and lying motherfucking asshole lawyers, it will continue fucking near unabated.
    yeah i know, my suggestion was a harsh and far reaching one, but look back at the old west days, and back to the early part of last century.
    sure, there were killings, but not like today, you stood face to face. these little motherfuckers don’t have the guts to go one on one with any fucking body. i am very suprised there isn’t more reported fucking rapes and crimes like that, and yes, a few murders here and there. but hey, the good news from the chief of the heat is that violent crimes are way down. if murder, shootings, rape and assault isn’t a violent crime, then what the fuck is. yeah the weapons idea was a little drastic, but what the fuck else can a citizen do, stay locked up in their panic rooms forever. nope, there has to be something serious done soon, or you will see a batman type nutcase( not me, i look horrible all in black rubber) comes along. either that, or there will be a brazillian squad of death marchers showing up soon.

    And as long as there are sawed-off turds who claim to carry a gun, and use this imaginary weapon as a solution for everything from noisy neighbours, swarmings on the commons, and the Booger Man.

    (not) famous last words from the internet tough guy.

    The hills are alive, with the sound of bullshit.

    I prefer Zilla’s trolling. At least he’s aware he’s a fictional character.

  20. “That’s referencing appearances right there. You brought up the physical aspect, not me. “

    Implying by retard I meant something other than your extreme lack of intelligence. Also….when was retard ever used as a physical description? I don’t like trolling you because its easy and you pretty much do all the work for me.

    “Sorry, I used levels to describe what you meant with equals. I’ll try to use simple coloured drawings to illustrate my point next time, Simple Lizard.”

    Are you trying to look like an idiot on purpose? You’re just repeating the same shit that I said, but attempting to make it more insulting….if this is your game plan it isn’t working.

    Go back to being invisible to me. This isn’t even an enjoyable experience. It’s like me seeing a dead guy, kicking him once, then saying I killed someone.

    “Also, Montrealman is a pretty good troll.”

    Thank you gentlemen, thank you. However, reading over your posts I feel that you might profit from my expertise at trolling. I have found that there are three basic principles to be followed for any good troll:

    (1) The troll must not reduce to personal invective but, rather, must raise a topic which has intrinsic interest and in respect to which the troller has a degree of knowledge. Intelligence and articulacy, of course, are required. The cardinal point is that the “trollee” must not realize that he is being trolled. He must think that he is engaging in serious discussion.

    (2) It may happen that the troller becomes so involved in the topic that he actually comes to believe his own troll which he now sees, like the trollee, as an impartial quest for truth in the relevant area of inquiry. For example, see my post “The Contrast theory of Meaning” in the bitch “Not Everything Has an Opposite” (06/20, 7:39PM & 7:43PM). Initially I saw this as a philosoophical spoof, a possible troll if you like. However, I became so wrapped up in the implications of the contrast theory of meaning that I gradually came to believe in its efficacy. In a word, the expert troller must troll himself. This is sometimes called the “reflexive troll.”

    (3) For the completely adept troller any explanations he gives about his trolling such as the present post may themselves be just another troll. This is sometimes called the “recursive troll” and is to be attempted only by those of higher intelligence and insight. For example is my present post, “Trolling 101,” just another troll? The trollee must be kept guessing.

    A pleasure as always.

    Cheerio!

  22. States with open carry laws have less gun crime – and less of this shit too. Hook me up!
