So there’s a bunch of little shits out there intent on pounding on individuals…
What has this crap-hole city become? #8 in the country for violence, that’s what.
These fucking kids should be rounded up and made to wear signs that read ‘I’m a stupid little cocksucker who thinks I can terrorize people in a group of ten or more’ and paraded up and down every major street in this burg. —Sick and Tired of Rotten Kids
This article appears in Sep 2-8, 2010.
What’s this about? Is there a news report?
I’m just waiting for them to jump the wrong person. Come on, jump someone with a handgun with 10 bullets in the magazine. I’m going to laugh my ass off.
This makes me so angry. Why is pepper spray illegal for civilians?
HPD was on vacation.
Just the usual start to autumn for the wannabe gangsta crowd, IQ 27.
The police will be on it next week.
doesn’t it just make your heart all gushy for these little wonders. i would love to see what they would do up against a black belt karate expert, or even a brown belt, like me. bet there would be some fucking crying for the mommies then. think i’ll round up a few of the old knights of mayhem, and go cruising thru there some evening.
“Why is pepper spray illegal for civilians?”
Get some dog mace. It comes in small canisters. Improvised weapons are a good idea. Things that aren’t obvious weapons…knives or brass knuckles will get you in trouble. I keep my keys on these large climbing clip thingys I can put over my knuckles, then with the keys between my fingers these teens will have scars on their faces for the rest of their miserable lives. If you have a bag or purse keep a glass bottle with a bit of liquid still in it so it just seems like a drink you were carrying. Use your creativity friends!
btw, bear spray etc., is only illegal if you get caught with it on you. smg, in germany, prior to the first war, made a very nice little 5 shot, .5 calibre pistol. that could be carried and hidden by most female hands. remember those little gun lighters, that was about the size of it. 3 ounces, fully loaded, and would not kill you, buti bet made you think twice about fucking with the chick that had one. i make my own custom ammo, and have some dandies, waiting to try out on someone somewhere soon. .22 cal. shell, loaded with needle tips, laced with karari(?). nice little toxic shock to their misbegotten systems.
I know someone who was attacked a little while back. They were ROUGHED up badly. Had to be admitted to the hospital and couldn’t even type for a good week or so and I could hardly recognize their face when I saw them.
These little shits need to be rounded up and pissed on by their victims. Then they need the shit beaten out of them with baseball bats. THAT’S restorative justice, if you ask me.
Worst of it is, if these little shitstains are under 16, you’d stand to serve more jail time for defending yourself than they would if they killed you.
I vote we round up all the little twats and put them in a room with some REAL dangerous guys and turn a blind eye.
Restorative Justice is for the good kids that get in trouble ONCE but show real remorse and prove that they will not do it again. If someone goes through this process and is not “reformed” they should get the original punishment for the crime. Adult crime = adult time.
God I hate jerk wad kids.
PS- It’s only the parent’s fault for so long, eventually these kids need to accept resposibility and own up to the fact that THEY are responsible for their actions; NO ONE ELSE.
I was in shock when I read that this happened. I don’t often walk alone late at night, bit seriously, 9pm?!? It makes me feel insecure in my own neighbourhood.
I asked about bear spray, etc, but it’s true, I would get in more trouble using it (excessive force in defending myself) than they would beating me up. How fucked up is that??
Rounded up and locked in a small room with more dangerous people might give them ideas – or might scare the shit outta them. Whatever works…
A Handgun and a concealed weapons licence would make these fools think twice before jumping anyone…
Oh wait I forgot, in this country, law abiding civilians trying to protect themselves are second class citizens, the criminals get carte blanche. Socialism strikes again.
At least the popo gave the locals a heads up. That was goods of them. Oh wait…
This actually makes me scared to walk around Halifax at all.I seriously do not understand the mindset of people who are out to intentionally hurt other people for no reason at all.What the fuck is wrong with society??
walk with a group if possible pf…large friends would be best^^
time to start carrying my combat knife around….I dare ya punk
I’ve found a niche market… walking ladies around the city!
I wonder what I could charge???
I’ve gotta start printing business cards.
Police said the suspects are all in their late teens or early 20s. One was tall, white and thin, and was wearing a T-shirt, jeans and skater sneakers. He also had large rings on his fingers.
the above was taken from the CBC site
So by a process of elimination, and that’s precisely what we need to do with vermin, the other fine upstanding lads must be some other colour and not wearing skater sneakers and rings?
They are all cowards, if any of them were walking alone they wouldn’t even look at you as they passed by. But because they have some friends with them all of a sudden they are tough guys.
If it ever happens to me I am going for all nuts, I am gonna make sure I take a few down with me. Some of them would be limping home for sure.
Would be funny to have a gang hiding in the bushes somewhere while you walk around their vicinity at the Commons alone. Just walk around all night until this gaggle of punk youths comes along and sees their easy prey… *BOOM* out pops a swarm of your own and feeds them a piece of their own terror.
Something like this happened more than a few years ago. Sailors were getting rolled in the dockyard tunnels, until a couple of muggers got shanked. Problem solved.
What ever happened to the Guardian Angels anyhow? No community/police support?
the police here are fuckin USELESS…how do you have 8 swarmings in the same neighborhood in two days and not be able to catch one single person???!!!
let’s hope they treat the people who take matters into their own hands with the same passion, because we all know the HRP aren’t going to do anything about this. This is not a new development here.
Hijack Alert. Hugo’s comment reminds me of a story I read. Some years ago, Russian flagged ships were suffering a hich incidence of piracy in the inshore waters off Nigeria. They began contracting private security companies that employed ex Spetznaz, paratroopers and KGB Alpha team operators.
When the dismembered corpses of local no-goodniks began washing up onshore, pirate attacks on Russian ships ceased abruptly.
spetsnaz spetsnaz gooo spetsnaz… they’s the man if they can’t do it no one can
In the mid ’80s some Lebanese hash-smuggler-turned-religious- leader-turned- warlord kidnapped 4 Soviet embassy staffers in Beirut and murdered one. The Soviets supposedly deployed either a Spetsnaz unit or a KGB Alpha Team. Within a week the 3 surviving Russians were returned unharmed after the warlord received, depending on which story you believe, either his brother’s head or his genitals specially delivered to his “secret” hideout. Possibly apocryphal but a good bedtime story to tell recalcitrant children. >; )
I have the perfect solution to the problem. You deal with these little shits the same way you deal with crows on the farm. You shoot one of the little fuckers and leave its corpse hanging from a tree/telephone pole. All we have to do is add a sign saying why it’s up there and voila! no more swarmings.
sodeypop is right. It’s only a matter of time before someone cuts them up, or shoots them up. You won’t see an ounce of pity from me for them….in fact, I might even celebrate.
Gimme a baseball bat and point me in the right direction!
I’ll make popsicles outta all of ’em!
OR, since they are little shits… Poopsicles!
Society as made it to easy for these kids there is no justice or stiff consequences that follow their actions , they get a slap on the wrist, in most cases, and told to play nice no deterrent at all , I think they should be ship overseas and but on a battle field and see how they like fighting and violenance then ,seems that is what they desire to do anyway. Then all the brave men and women who risk their lives for our safety can be back home with their familes . Bottom line , we need stiffer penalites for this type of crime regardless of age.
Let them try that whole “victim of institutionalized poverty and culture of violence” song & dance in the tribal areas of Pakistan,Somalia, Zimbabwe, Gaza or even the urban cores of Detroit, Miami, L.A. and New Jack ci-TAY.
Better yet, weld them to the hulls of our LAV-3s as additional IED protection. It’s never too late for these genetic mistakes to make a positive contribution to society in general and the world at large.
“I would love to see what they would do up against a black belt karate expert, or even a brown belt.”
Really, unless said black belt, is actually a GOOD black belt it won’t really matter. A group that can actually throw their fists will easily take down one person, that is unless they are a talented black belt.
You really shouldn’t carry weapons that you don’t intend to use either, or they could just get used against you.
I’m so afraid that these little punks are going to attack my dad. He plays pool in that area 2 nights a week. I’ve already begged him to make sure he has someone walk him to his car at night. But when I called him on it he hadn’t heard anything about the swarming? Seriously? HRP better be out in full force!
Carry something that the 5-0 can get some perp DNA off of, after you are found comatose in an alley. Assuming of course that Judge OilRig doesn’t toss the case because society, as a whole, is to blame.
gemmygirl, I disagree with putting these thugs in uniform and sending them overseas for a number of reasons but I’ll only list two:
The young boys and girls who go in for this kind of thing would be useless on a battlefield, unless their opponents were in the habit of walking around alone armed with nothing but a cellphone and some cash. The first time a round zipped by overhead and slammed into the mud wall above them, some poor corporal would have to come by and administer about a dozen diaper changes. No thanks.
It also wouldn’t be a good idea to throw a bunch of budding criminals into a war zone. The Americans will take just about anybody who can walk and talk and this ‘open door’ recruitment policy has caused them no end of trouble with the rape, torture and murder of civilians. No, our military can do without that kind of ‘branding’ and frankly, I don’t think anyone wold want to share a uniform with them.
But I think an appropriate punishment must be found for those who get caught. Maybe some kind of juvenile ‘boot camp’ where they get yelled at all day and marched around in the heat and the cold and get to sleep on mats on the floor and get fed just enough food and water to keep body and soul together.
Of course, there would be no tv (satellite, cable or even etch-a-sketch), no radio, no music of any kind really, no magazines, maybe some books but only uplifting classics and fine literature (ie no comic books or porn mags), no smoking, cold showers, nothing in the way of creature comforts at all.
The only occasion on which anyone would lay a hand on them (other than to exert physical control over them at all times) would be when they’ve done their time, however long that might be, in which case on their way out the door and back into society they’d get a kick in the ass with a size twelve boot and warned that if it happened again, they’d do their next stint on Ellesmere Island.
Come to think of it, this might be a good program for violent criminals of all ages.
I know a couple guys that had to do camps…they don’t steal cars anymore.
RealChick – is your Dad able to put together a group of players, say – 4 guys 1 car, 4 cellphones set to 911 – kind of thing? It’s hard getting parents to be street smart; with mine it’s like dealing with teenagers sometimes. For what it’s worth I’m keeping a good thought for you, and everyone who’s living in that neighborhood right now.
I’d get some dna… it’d be under my fingernails…
I seriously wonder what the upper limit is on a person’s capability to handle a quantity of teens.
I know I would be chucking some at the others…get two birds stoned at once.
IT is against the law to protect yourself in this Country.
IF you carry anything that can be considered a weapon & you protect yourself, you will be sued by the criminal, you will be charged by the so called Justice system & if you purposely go lookin gfor these assholes & find them…you will be hung out to dry for being a CRIMINAL VIGILANTE.
Sorry but the best thing you can do is curl up & hope they don’t kill you.
OR
You can do What I once did.
because if it happens….I’m going to pick just one guy out of the 10-15 – 0r 20 of them & I’m going to take him to hell with me.
There’s no way I can take them all & I know that, but I guarantee that as I go down at least 1 is coming with me.
Folks I know all this for sure, because I was swarmed by 6 people, I got a couple of licks in with 3 of them …but I got my hands on 1 of them & as the rest of them pounded me & as I went down I attempted to strangle him, doing my best chewing off his ear.
We both ended up in the hospital & all of us ended up being charged & everyone got convictions.
Wonderful Country we live in ‘eh…when you can’t even defend yourself from a bunch of punks.
But its already happened to me once & I’m planning the exact same response when it happens again.
Maybe this time I’ll get lucky & kill one of the bastards before he & his punk friends can hurt someone who won’t fight back !
I remember when I seen some of these same people, a couple of years later they crossed the street when they seen me coming down the sidewalk .~:)
i would have spacktard dna firmly embedded in my canines…grrrrr
My dad uses a cell phone…but is useless without his glasses and hangs out in a crew of “old school” characters that range from 55-75. Picture the outsiders/ Goodfellas as seniors. I’ve always been afraid of some of the shady characters in that area…but he’s never been afraid. He still thinks he’s 25…but wears a lot of expensive shit and drives an expensive SUV…so he’s a target for sure.
If someone hit him he would get really hurt…my 3 year old has roughed him up playing. I really hope they get these kids…and I hope they’re all over 16 at least!
Thanks for the thoughts though Ivan!
No problem RC. My Mom is 75, she weighs 80lbs wringing wet and is scarcely larger than the small end of nothing whittled down to a fine point. She regularly canvasses for Arthritis and Heart & Stroke in some of Kingston Ont.’s less toney enclaves. And the Old Man, ex-paratrooper with 37 years in the CF. Every Xmas he mans a bubble for the Sally-Ann, with his regimental blazer and medals on. And I just know that part of him is hoping some misguided yout’ tries to make a snatch & grab.
Oy Vey, they’ve given me more grey hairs than I gave them and that’s a fact . >; )
As me ol’ da says nail ’em up! ‘e says, nail some sense into ’em! ‘E’s a right corker me ol’ da is.
This comment is from the cbc.ca site and it made me laugh… and then start searching on the internet for something about old Halifax laws, I think I’ll have to go back to actual books though. Sign me up for sword lessons!!

To my friends in Halifax (from a previous resident), I would like to suggest to you all, you research some of the old laws on the books (you know all those stupid ones that never actually ended, like it’s illegal not to have a tie up for a horse next to a store).
Well, there’s a great one on the books that I have used in Halifax. After dusk, it is legal (yes legal) to carry a sword while escorting females (again after dusk). I suggest you visit your local knife shops and see what they have. I can promise you one thing about these punks – they’re looking for easy targets, not someone with a sword.
Again, I’m not saying it’s legal to hack them into pieces, but I think we all know if you have a sword they are running fast as fast can be with the little punk tail between their legs.
Research the law prior to purchasing any swords, and learn how to operate them as well.
very interesting m. mei. merci beaucoup. perhaps this knowledge will help catch the shrubbery thieves as well
I am totally flashing back on that Star Trek episode where the glowing ball of light turned all the phasers into swords and made the Klingons and the Enterprise crew fight to the death.
High Point: Scotty finds basket-hilted Claymore
Low Point: Chekhov tries to rape Klingon woman.
Oh, what sad times are these when passing ruffians can say Ni at will to old ladies. There is a pestilence upon this land, nothing is sacred. Even those who arrange and design shrubberies are under considerable economic stress in this period in history.
Yeah, everyone keeps talking about these “swarmings.” Sounds like the tirade of a bored, small town loser.
the holy grail .. arguably the best comedy ever made! 🙂
ahem *cough* life of brian arguably sir martym…heehaw
This is disgusting that people would do this.
And, I’m sorry, but I highly doubt a lone blackbelt is going to take on a group of 10-20 teenage assholes with nothing to lose. Not that I’m doubting the skill of a blackbelt, but this isn’t a movie, it’s not The Matrix or something. Your best bet is to 1) curl up and hope they don’t kill you (like said above) or 2) start running like a fucking madman, don’t look back, and whip out your phone and dial 911. Trying to prove something isn’t worth getting your ass kicked.
I hope these little bastards get what’s coming to them regardless…
very close but I give the nod to grail ( meaning of.. kinda sucked)
travel in groups of three or more…it had it’s moments martym
I hope no one is confusing The Meaning of Life, with The Life of Brian.
I agree with jdp, you’ll only get beat up worse. But then again there is a small measure of satisifaction getting 1 or 2 in on the way down.
yea like the restaurant fat guy 🙂
Everyone is allowed to breed, the least capable of us are doing most of it, and the welfare state assures that everyone survives childhood.
This is the future. Get used to it!

TheBlackRose : “Mr. Creosote”: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mr._Creosote
I can make a weapon out of pretty much anything. Like when I’m gardening, some a-hole tries to sneak up and take me out – watering can tied to a hose.
Cops show up, “What’s that, officer? Just watering the geroniums”.
Oh the irony… stupid little shits think they can bully whoever they want and, when they do, you idiots AFFIRM their behavior by proposing the same thing be done to them. The cycle will NEVER stop because you people lead by example. If only parents would grow up, like actually MATURE, they’d be teaching little ones that, no matter what, they may NOT lay angry hands on another. ‘Tis the law and it’s NOT a new one.
On a related note, I think I may buy this: http://bit.ly/azy3Y2 at MEC to protect against any coyote attacks. They’re getting closer and closer to the urban areas lately. Maybe I’ll carry it when I go for some night time batting practice on the Commons with my aluminium t-ball bat… but I’d never use it on people… never… Anyone wanna join me? Batting practice is no fun with just one person.
hell kay you are some enlightened.what are you a buddhist?
“Oh the irony… stupid little shits think they can bully whoever they want”
They CAN and ARE bullying whoever they want. That’s the disturbing part.
Wonder where they LEARNED that?
I wonder.
@MickeyMouse: Thanks, I KNEW I had spelled it wrong, but was in a hurry. My bad, but every MP lover here know who I was talking about 😉 (I hope)
MickeyMoose I mean… see, when I’m in a hurry… sorry 🙂
yes sweet rose j’ai compris…i was gonna call him mr. moose but i like mickey mouse better
“I can make a weapon out of pretty much anything. Like when I’m gardening, some a-hole tries to sneak up and take me out – watering can tied to a hose.

LOL Flight of the Conchords. Oh and Kay, you can shove your criminal apologist hippy dippy bullshit where the sun doesn’t shine. Aww, I cry every time a schoolyard bully gets beaten up by a nerd with a black belt. Such a tragedy when people get what’s coming to them!
Geez with all the big talk on here, why are we having problems with swarmings? It seems to me that you bozos should all get together and form your own gang of crimefighters. Seriously, talk is cheap…especially on the internet
who says we haven’t mr. broc. one of my boys said there are plainclothed occifers patrolling the area
Perhaps the police could make a bonfire from all the confiscated weed plants and burn the swarmers along with it, sort of a stoned out Guy Fawkes fryathon. All the naughty boys and girls watching would be pushing to get smoke in their eyes and noses…..
Small can o’ spray paint in your pocket like the ones used for touching up dings on your car. You can buy ’em @ places like Crappy Tire. Spray the fuckers when you get attacked. Not necessarily in the eyes but on their clothes or skin somewhere. I believe the paint is enamel and really hard to remove. So you destroy their name-brand clothing and mark them for easy identification later. See ya’ later. Need to get to the hardware store!
Just checked… the paint’s about ten bucks. I can spare ten bucks to save my life.
“Geez with all the big talk on here, why are we having problems with swarmings? It seems to me that you bozos should all get together and form your own gang of crimefighters. Seriously, talk is cheap…especially on the internet”
I never claimed I would form some vigilante group. I’m ready for teens to attack me though. Spray adhesive is very bad for the eyes and throat hehe
Bear mace people, bear mace.
