Hey cops at pizza corner, (probably rookies) how about you don’t harrass people who didn’t do anything illegal. Just because you’re the law and you can get FREE SLICES FROM SICILLION PIZZA doesn’t mean anyone sober isn’t watching you LOUDSPEAKER HARASSER. Get off your high horse and stop threatening innocent people that you’ll take them in.

It’s good to see that someone is capable of speaking/standing up to them.I’ve got your back,because I know for a fact(proof),that is exactly what their doing!Especially to unpriveledged people(the poor,panhandlers).If you ask some of them,they’ll tell you that everyday police will always walk up to a panner,ask for their personal information(using this as an excuse ,saying it’s for their own safety?),but really it’s to harrass them,because you don’t ever see them walking up to just anybody(who isn’t panning)asking them for their private info!!!I’ve been trying to educate,so has HCAP,that police are harrassing certain individuals.I also know that this does occur to some partiers.The Dome and other establishments “hire”police to protect their best interest,maybe this is why the elderly women got beat with those table legs!!!POLICE ARE ABUSING THEIR AUTHORITY AND i WOULD LOVE TO PROVE THIS,ALONG WITH HUNDREDS OF OTHERS,BUT THE MAIN MEDIA’S WON’T ALLOW THIS,SO IT GOES ON SILENTLY!
Better get your tin-foil hat fixed Alison…the gub-ment is probably using the flouride in your water to power the chip they put in your brain…and you wouldn’t want them reading your thoughts. Seriously though, what happened to make you so jaded against the government? It is the same government that signs the EI and Welfare cheques and funds all the programs the underpriviledged you are so concerned about use to survive. Those corrupt dirty heartless bastards. And next time you want to pull a Ginger and comment on a bazillion posts, please don’t do it between the hours of 1-2am because they get stuck at the top of the recent comments…it’s just good Coast etiquette.
Laugh over Laugh Miles! I love your style on the coast!
Miles,I’m just as able to post my opinions/comments just like you!But,the difference between most on here and myself,I don’t talk out of my ass!!!I’ve been seriously been victimized(like others-as this writer has wittnessed-obviously),that a certain class are being harrassed.Since your obviously “The Type” who only cares for oneself,why are you putting any time into squabbling into me!!And another thing:Isn’t that what Democracy is suppose to be about?, a free speach,as long as it’s the truth???This is another problem for me and the general population,I’m not affraid to speak up when I see others in authority abusing their authority! Like most Nova Scotians say: Get Out Of The Dark Ages!!!
Alison = the former Ginger.I had been suspecting it all morning, but the HCAP reference confirmed it! (Ginger had a HCAP obessession!)
What is HCAP?
LOL @ Miles..pull a Ginger. could Alison = Ginger?Hmm..perhaps the government is mass producing Gingers? Whatever it is, it’s goddamn annoying..and i do not like it’s style on the coast.
HCAP is the Halifax Coalition Against Poverty. Ginger was always singing their praises.
HA! I was waiting for someone to call it. Jennie wins.I have missed your style on the coast, poopie. Now if we can just get qwerty and -god help me- matt back in the game, we’ll liven this place up.
What I know of the police is that, when you need them they aren’t there, but when you don’t there right there on your ass for doing nothing! There are a ton of crimes that are going on out there but they pick on people who aren’t doing anything because it is easier for them, or those people are breaking little laws. I hate cops, some of them are ok, majority are just there to intimidate you and be dicks!
Miranda, it’s good to see you’re still here! I feel the love.. :)Homie drove my ass outta here with his inane ramblings..i’ve been reading here and there though. What ever happened to that guy, anyway? Did he finally dry up? I miss qwerty and matt..this place just isn’t the same without them.
I think he broke his google, so he’s limited to posting his own ideas.
I was at pizza corner a few years ago and saw someone got swarmed, and the cop that was sitting in the car watched it for a minute then DROVE AWAY. A dozen or so people that were there chased off the little fuckers, but it took about ten minutes for the cops to show up. It was brutal, I lost all respect for the HRM police for right there and then. We could use something like the Guardian Angels if that’s the action the cops take. Pretty ridiculous when the citizens need to enforce the law. I guess they were too busy issuing speeding tickets to keep people safe. Cause, you know, speeding at all kills everytime here in the Park.
I hear that same story a lot Pete. The response people seem to get from the police a lot is “There’s nothing we can do”. What the hell is that supposed to mean? Even if you can’t send the kiddies off to jail or anything, you could at least break up the fight/swarming….or at least call an ambulance to help the poor victim out. I wonder if the problem is with the individual officers or with the Chief or the force as a whole….maybe we should consider getting the RCMP to police the city.
Jennie:WRONG,I’m not Ginger!I do however know who you are talking about and God Bless her soul.At least she cares about others,than just herself.
Whatever, Ginger.
Oh, this is only going to get better and better.I’m gonna get into my comfy clothes, get some chips and watch this play out. That was a classic Ginger manouver if I ever saw one…”I’m not ginger, but she’s awesome”. I’m not Miles either hon, but he’s alright by me ;)Nice one Alison-Ginger (Ali-G?)
HCAP are responsible for those shitty “Grow a Garden” tags you see on the sidewalks around. Which, incidentally, can’t be removed with biodegradeable cleaners, totally defeating the intent of the message. And most of them are on social assistance, yet still insist the world would be a better place without the government.I could go on, but my brain is fried after reading this sentence from Alison:”I’ve been seriously been victimized(like others-as this writer has wittnessed-obviously),that a certain class are being harrassed.”Time for my patchouli bath and lobotomy.
I’ve seen certain officers be awfully, awfully aggressive with bystanders or people strolling down the sidewalk on a few occasions, and wondered why they were focussing on the run-of-the-mill sloppy drunks instead of the real thugs. One officer was yelling and screaming and swearing at a guy who was just standing there eating pizza, and no one in the surrounding crowd could figure out why. This kind of aggression doesn’t help the public feel safer.
What up Ging? We’ve missed you around these parts.Good to see you’re still kickin’.
Maybe HCAP is also responsible for stealing Kenny the Gardener’s plants….hmmmmm??
Ali-G!!! Best Ginger alias evah!I think I love you, Miles. I think we should get together and have articulate, well balanced babies.And you’re right. That was a classic Ginger maneuver. Classic. Oh, Ali-G, will you ever learn?
LOL…OK Miranda, but only if I get to wear an Empathy Belly so we can share in our pregnancy experience. We can get Auntie Qwerty and Auntie Poop and Uncle Floyd to teach the little tyke about the finer points of love triangles…and sarcasm.
Where is qwerty anyway? She’s a good scrappy li’l debater she is. One of the smart ones. (I know she hates me but it’s only because I’m a dvorak – her layout-ism is appalling).Don’t suppose she and Homie have eloped have they? I really wanna see somebody who calls himself Homie wearing qwerty’s empathy belly.
Might look a bit ike this:http://www.rustedsunfilms.com/images/CLS%20production%20stills/bling-bling%20joe.jpg
I think what we need is a little vendetta justice! Does anyone have a Bat signal?
LOL. I was once so frustrated by an incident I saw that I considered having a video camera downtown to capture some of these moments. But, I guess these guys n gals have tough jobs dealing with drunks and it makes em cranky. Some of the more egregious cases might make it to IA but I suspect most would be dismissed as the “victims” were probably causing some sort of small disturbance, being drunk n stupid n all. Also, I don’t think many of the more aggressive officers would take very kindly to being videotaped…I’m probably being investigated by CSIS as we speak. Quick, I gotta put my tinfoil hat on!!
Jennie;Get a life????.I would bet that your actually one of those who do sit on welfare “yourself” and have a need to feel accepted by your uneducated comments -ALL DAY LONG!Since I’ve been honest of my name/occupation and my opinions,WHAT THE FUCK HAVE THE ONES WHO ARE CONSTANTLY ON HERE ACTUALLY DO IN THEIR LIVES,BUT SIT THERE ON THE COMPUTER ALL DAY AND SHIT ON PEOPLE!!!
Sorry Ginger, er – Alison – I’m not on Welfare, or any type of assistance, for that matter. Never have been.I have a very good job which does allow me some free time for internet surfing.BTW, I’m not the one making uneducated comments. Maybe you should go back to teaching ESL. Oh wait, you’re not Ginger. I forgot.
That’s right and don’t forget it.I also know a liar when I smell one!
I apoligize to the writer.Unfortunately I’ve allowed “others” to pull me away from this topic.I agree 100% that we have a serious problem here in Nova Scotia,where our police are concerned.
What’s a liar smell like anyway?
I was on vacation, then trying to plow through my work that built up while i was gone, but i thought i’d take a moment to acknowledge the cornucopia of awesomeness that is this thread, and the most recent re-emergence of Gingy/ Ali-G. Nice.
Jammie, I would have said “trousers” instead of “slacks”… Somehow trousers just sound smellier…And hey Qwerty what up dollface… Good to see you back again…
Hey Hey! Gang’s all here. Careful though Qwerty and Floyd….there’s so much bat-shit crazy goodness here, your head will spin.
When did it start??? I want to know hw many pages I should go back when I play catch up later…
Oh, christ, qwerty! Ali-G’s been commenting on threads from as far back as salt-the-driveway. And it’s been commenting it’s trolly ass off between 1 and 2 AM. Nobody told it about LLWWB etiquette.
Well, it really started the night before last. Somewhere around the “where’s the customer service” bitch. Ali-G went off on Nicole, then temper-tantrumed her way through about 20+ threads like a ‘roid raging tazmanian devil. I think she dug into the archives for a few random comments…but all the good stuff is more recent. Enjoy.
Just enter Alison in the comment search thread. Since Ali-G first made an appearance two days ago, it has generated SEVEN PAGES of comments.
I would think burnt cotton or wool, or whatever your slacks are made of.LOL I said “slacks”
Yeah Floyd I actually did consider “trousers” but that made me think of trouser-snakes and at the time it didn’t seem relevant to smelliness. However, now, given the other thread on Jam d’Homme by Christian Dior, smelly trousers do in fact seem a good possibility.
Is there etiquette about commenting between 1 and 2? I do of course notice the posts get stuck at the top of the “recent” list, but is there some other rule I have been flouting?
Alison + Admiration for Ginger = Ginger. Shit, I’ve checked that equation on my calculator several times and keep coming up with the same fucking answer.
Jam d’Homme, a new fragrance by Dior for smelly trouser snakes… mmm….
Coming up – Jam de Toe
LOL @ ‘roid raging tazmanian devil’ – Miles, i heart you.Qwerty, good to see you m’love. This place misses you when you’re gone.Floyd, trousers sound pretty smelly, but i think pantaloons sound the smelliest of them all.
Well, Jammie, if you happen to make a post of two during the magic hour, that’s ok. But if you take up the entire new comments comments column between 1 and 2, that’s just being an attention whore.
Haha Miranda, I kinda did while I was chasing the crazy person with my bottles of pills. I wish I had taken a screen shot. It worked quite nicely in that sidebar.
