I have no idea what I did to you, I was just walking up Spring Garden Road on my way home from my first day at my new job in fantastic cheer. You stopped and as I passed you mumbled something my way. I turned and say “I’m sorry I didn’t hear you,” genuinely wondering if you were speaking to me. You then proceeded to tell me to get the eff out of your face, threatened me numerous times and called me every name in the book. After the first curse directed at me I turned and began walking away and you started walking behind me, insulting me. I have no idea what in the hell is wrong with you, but you have no right to yell, threaten and insult a young girl doing nothing but walking home after a day of work. You honestly ruined one of the best days I’ve had in Halifax since I’ve moved here sir, I hope the cactus up your ass is comfortable. —Threatened For Walking and Minding My Own Business

Maybe the light was on, but nobody was home?
I would avoid trying to understand the motivations of a raving derelect.
How DARE you have a good day in Halifax!
Under the Dexter regime, that is blasphemous and punishable by taxation to death.
This dude did you a favor before you were caught and disposed of.
Stupid bitch
sounds like someone who had no idea he was even speaking to you. maybe he was having visions. it’s crummy, for him and for you. and congrats on having a new job you enjoy! shrug this off, Halifax is a great city and you’ll love it here!
Pay no heed, the creeps are around every corner. Most are either so high on dope or drunk that they hate the world. Obviously your positive mood threatned this loser’s negative vibe. Sad. The losers are everwhere, pay no heed.
I’m thinking this guy is less of a ‘loser’ and is probably more of a paranoid schizophrenic or bi-polar and off his meds.
I had something similar happen to me once and was really pissed at the lady who was threatening me unprovoked until someone who knew her explained that she was diagnosed paranoid schizophrenic and had neglected to take meds that day. This sounds like what happened here. As scary/unnerving as this probably was, don’t take it to heart and don’t judge the entire city like the last poster did.
See my post of yesterday where we need public gibbets at either end of SGR, now we need an executioners block in City Square, Friday could be lop a meth addicts noggin off day.
That’s really too bad OP! Nobody needs to go through that. The guy obviously has some sort of mental issue. Must have been on a day-pass from the Hotel of Forensic Psychiatry.
He’s the crazy guy that walks around Spring Garden Road yelling at the world Telling off everyone that walks buy him or telling Halifax to “Go to F%^&*(# Hell”. Don’t minde him…..
some of these douchebags need a good lift to their face. if you were my kid and someone started mouthing off to you like that, well the hospital isn’t that far away, nough said.
Don’t let that get you down, sweety. There are lots of nut jobs hovering around SGR. I’ve worked in that area for 7½ years.
AVAST: Are you sure it wasn’t you?
Well, OB, my girls and I were heading down Spring Garden for wings on one fine summer evening, when a man walking toward us said “Give me some of that slutty pussy” and kept walking right on by! It was actually such a shock that we laughed hysterically. We didn’t dare tell him off, lest we send him into a bout of psychosis. It was obvious that the cheese done slid off his cracker long ago! Haha
That’s when you get out your cell phone, snap a mug shot of the individual and march your ass down to the cop shop and file a complaint. Or do like I do – drop-kick that muthafucker in the TEEES!

Internet tough talks shit again.
You wouldn’t have done anything, Gary.
And OB- the person was probably mental ill. There are a number of them in the neighbourhood. Hard to have sympathy when they are being threatening(ahem, **suckster** cough), but it’s sometimes the illness talking.

Sounds like you need to harden yourself like Marge Simpson’s sewing finger, if you are to survive the cesspool that is Halifax these days. A simple “fuck off, Whackadoo!!!” should suffice in this type of situation.
I’m putting this question to Savage at one of his meet and greets; What is your policy regarding the aggressive panhandling in the downtown core?
I used to work on Spring Garden, there’s a (seemingly normal looking and usually well dressed) mentally-ill man who often walks on the street. He’s yelled at me numerous times, stuff about the illuminati, scientology and how I’m a jew motherfucker. Not having seen the your situation I don’t know if it was him though. Even though he’s yelled vitriolic shit at me I still really feel for that guy.
if it’s the guy I’m thinking of…he has mental issues and he scares the crap out of me….looks a bit like Dale Gribble (a tv character)….he is unstable…cross the street when he’s around
