Ever notice most homeless/addicts usually don't bother using crosswalks and put everyone in danger by running out into the street in the middle of traffic?  Again just smacks of that attitude of selfish entitlement and everyone has to cater to THEM...

They dont put everyone in danger.

 

they put themselves in danger.

 

The one I hit was damaged after the hit  but my vehicle was fine .. No danger to my vehicle

What about the one that threw himself on a car windshield, started smashing it last summer on Fort street. The lady at the wheel was convinced the guy would have killed her, had it not been for the eyewitnesses who called the police immediately, and the police actually bothering to show up (they did a low of no shows in those days, I don't know about now).

Ah yes, everyone wants in the on the poverty action.  SOILD wants to run the site:

 

Illicit drug users and advocates will hold a rally at the Ministry of Health building on Blanshard Street at 2 p.m. today to call for promised harm reduction services in the city and drug decriminalization.

 

They want a planned supervised consumption site on Bridge Street to open immediately and funding to make it a harm-reduction community health centre, said Jack Phillips, who is a street outreach worker and harm-reduction trainer for the Society of Illicit Drug Users.

 

“Bridge Street is the biggest blank slate of a site. It should be run akin to a community centre by harm-reduction organizations,” said Phillips.

 

But the Bridge Street location is on hold “to enable more discussion around the broader services needed in the community,” said Island Health spokeswoman Kellie Hudson.

Now, I wonder... any chance the Bridge St. location is actually on hold because CUPE 50 quietly opposes it, since it's adjacent to their workplace?

She was stopped at a red light and the man jumped on her car and started smashing her windshield, and was threatening to kill her.  He was high on something and he was completely out of control. The police did arrive and he was arrested. I thought I saw photos posted on the VV FB page at the time of the incident.

Yes, that's how it went down. It was a crazy incident.

Ive always wanted to know the story on this. Why does Victoria even have a Jamaican Consulate?  So many other cities in Canada actually have more than single digit numbers of Jamaican immigrants and ties with the Caribbean and don't have any sort of consulate,  but then right here across the street from me is a little townhouse containing a consular office.
