To the Saturday driver of bus number1036 of the 1 Spring Garden Road route. This asshole driver stopped his bus, ran into the peaceful anti-seal hunt protest and attacked a mock seal with an club.
I wish I was there to see that happen. Cause if I saw you coming towards me or my friends with a weapon, I would have beat you senseless.
You are a fucking asshole, and I hope you are fired from Metro Transit.
What are you pre-meditating to do next? I shudder to think.
You probably are a sicko that is going to end up killing his passengers or something.
—Fuck the Spring Garden bus driver who attacked the Seal
This article appears in Mar 12-18, 2009.
Yes, because he can club a stuffed animal, makes him a cold-hearted psycho. To all of you protesters out there: PEOPLE ARE ALLOWED TO HAVE DIFFERENT OPINIONS. Just like you. Finally, this one is directed at the seal hunt protesters specifically: you only give a shit because they’re cute. If they were an anus covered in hemorrhoids on a stick, you wouldn’t give two fucks about what happened to them.
My Mom’s boss was there and she said the guy had a mustache drawn on his face with purple marker. Hmm.
Dumb thing to do on the job but he did what many wanted to. Seal protested should go away and have some flipper pie. Most of us are sick and tired of these protesters who know squat. The difference between the seal hunt and a slaughterhouse is four walls and a roof.
I agree with Bro Tim, why isn’t there a chicken protest or a beef (mmm beef) protest. If God didn’t want us to eat animals he wouldn’t have made them out of meat. I’m off to have a hamburger now. Cheers !!!!!!!
So, the guy also had a purple marker mustache? I would have payed to see this.
I laughed so hard it hurt…lol
When I read this story in the paper I actually thought it was hilarious. A little twisted, maybe, but funny nonetheless.
I moved here from San Francisco, and to all those people who are tossing around terms like “fucking asshole” and “sicko”: you wouldn’t last a day in my town. You guys don’t have a clue how sweet you have it in a small town where beating up a stuffed animal (???) is print-worthy news.
However assholish it may seem – bursting in on a protest – they deserved it. I hate those guys.
The driver just wanted publicity; he was taking the piss out of Bridget Curran and her friends. A little light entertainment as we approach spring. Maybe he is a fan of Charlie Chaplin.
I guess mocking people is an offence, or maybe it’s a case for the Human Rights Commission.
boo hoo.. I’m sick and tired of PETA and all these anti seal protests. Can you believe the picture in the paper shows the protesters sign.. “hug seals, don’t club them.” haha, that shows how stupid these whiney yuppies are. But, it’s also a good solution.. Put down your stupid signs and go hug a full grown seal.. I hope you idiots can get your arms around the beast before it rips your fucking head off. Do you like cod? Then shut up and protest something important like the bank bailouts.
For anyone interested, it was on Global News last night:

This bus driver is an idiot. Not because I care one fuck about the goddamn seal hunt (hey, personally I think cows are cuter than seals but I still woof down cow chow) – what I care about is that he did this while he was working – imagine if any one of us just left our job to go club a stuffed toy. He’s been suspended with pay – oh, the fucking hardship. As for PETA, they can eat my dingleberries.
agreed, he should have been seal-flogging on his own time.
However unprofessional, it did sound a bit funny though.
Fever also had a point… if they looked like those animals in the ugly dog contests, you’d be beating one with the dead carcass of the other.
I hazard a guess as to what would happen if seal-burgers/seal steak or the like were offered on a menu here in Halifax.
The guys an idiot. I wonder how long he would have been employed in a non-union job after an incident like this?
I saw the clip on global. What an overblown situation.
BTW, could care less about the seal hunt.
Next.
Too fucking funny! 😀
Ya, I’m so sure you’d have beat him senseless OP, sounds more like you would have squawked and fluttered with the rest of the annoyances…
How bout all these ‘heads up their asses protesters’, doing something useful for society like, IDK… maybe go pick up litter or clean up some of that dogshit that’s washing into the water system? THAT might help the environment…
I thought it was hilarious, and I’m sure he just meant it as a joke. Protesters are annoying.
The act itself was funny, and a nice way of protesting the protest. Had this driver not been in uniform, there would be no news story. Of course, since he was, it raises a shitload of professionalism issues.
I wish he had of skinned the dead seal.
Why are we not selling little stuffed seals made from seal skin in our tourist shops? I’d rather see a product from here, made here, than the junk they sell that’s ‘made in China’ I want a pair of seal skin mukluk’s…pass the flipper pie !
Thoise tree hugging idiots make me laugh!! They are probably the same brainless morons who climbed trees on a Halifax street so that they would not get cut down and then complained when the police were too rough removing them!! Newsflash you fucking idiots. The 60’s are long gone. Go take your tie dyed shirts and outdated ideology elsewhere. When there are no fish left in the ocean to eat because of the useless (but cute) seals will you be happy? Morons.
And now the driver is off on paid leave , damn sounds like a good deal. Don’t be surprised to see other MT drivers doing crazy things. Paid time off what a punishment. Bet he learns his lesson …yeah right.
I don’t know why any employer thinks “suspended with pay” is such a baaaad thing. Fuck it’s a free vacation (literally).
While I nearly choked on my fresca when I read this bitch, I probably would’ve been a little freaked out if I was a passenger on that bus (because you have to be just a lil bat shit if you stop a bus to go club a stuffed seal, srsly). Thing *is* if the anti seal hunt protesters are allowed to protest, so is this guy….he just probably shouldn’t’ve done it while he was in MT uniform (because when you wear an organization’s uniform in a professional capacity, your actions are representing that organization).
Still, the visual I got in my head made me pee myself a little.
If any of us had to deal with the steady stream of stinking, ignorant, racist assholes that Metro Transit drivers had to deal with on a daily basis, we’d have snapped ages ago. I think he showed remarkable restraint.
Send the clip to Kay leno and Letterman. We’ll show we have a keen sense of humour in Halifax.
Put Halifax on the map without Fred MacGillivray, cheaper too !
I think you just hit the nail on the head javagirl, I bet lots of those MT drivers are halfway over the edge on a good day. What he did probably made a LOT of people laugh their asses off and have a better rest of their day. Fucking kudos to him. If I’d been there, I would seriously have clapped and cheered. Nothing against seals, idealistic ignoramuses do piss me off tho…
I would have applauded if I was there as well.
This would not have been as much of a story, making the media if it was not about those uniformed anti-seal hunt people. The seal hunt is a realiable fishery resource, the hunt has been going on for hundreds of years and their numbers are still high. If anything, it’s a model of conservation. Taking away the seal hunt would be hurting their culture, heritage, and way of life. The seal hunt has saved many lives from starvation in Nfld history. If you don’t understand that, then you can’t have a true opinion on the matter.
As far as the bus driver goes, yeah true he should not have done it on work hours but he should not be made out to be a villian.
That’s bizzare. I wouldn’t call him a cold-hearted psycho but definitley mentally insane.
Premier Williams is paying to fly the driver to St John’s where he will be awarded the “Friends of the Seal hunt” seal of approval.
After that he gets to kiss the cod.
Almost time to seal the lid on this bitch.
I saw Ol’ Battleaxe Bridget on the news tonight. What a crazy uptight loon.
Hey why insult loons.
you pussy bitch. you wouldnt have beat ANYONE!! YOU fucken pussy liar. you think that would further your cause? no. it would just make you look emotional and reactionary and dumb.
Just like the fucking bus driver – emotional, reactionary & dumb !!!!
If I was there and saw the bus driver coming at people with a club, hell ya, I’d fucking beat him up.
You don’t leave your bus job, to fucking club a seal. If I was there, I would have flipped out. Wish I was there, cause I would have messed him up.
And you know what – I’d be doing Halifax a favor, cause what the hell is this anti-Muslim, anti-seal, anti-protester man gonna do next?
It was not a joke. And anyone who thought it was funny, like most of you loser who replied to this are shit heads.
Metro Transit – fuck you $0.25 increase !
how you know the same bus driver who clubbed the seal is the same one who was anti-muslim? and yes fuk the 25 cent increase, but hopefully they use it to train people better.
RIP Mr Little 🙁
I don’t think the guy deserved to be fired — maybe put on disability (because his condition apparently could’ve caused a stroke or, in this case, impaired his cognitive functioning), he was the sacrificial lamb who got picked to make an example out of given the shit storm hitting MT these days. I mean he shouldn’t’ve been behind the wheel of a MT bus given his condition, but perhaps LT disability instead of treating him like shit?
I feel awful for his family….
Have a little respect for this man’s family as this bus driver hung himself last night. Find another story to rant about
I think my “rant” was pretty supportive towards his family. That was the intent. Get your head out of your arse and stop wasting bandwith.
Chill out Pretty Kitty, I didn’t realize the date of this post, as such I wasn’t directing anything towards you.
Oh, I’m sorry 🙁 Please accept my apologies?
No apology needed:)
