Snitches get stitches, been the rule for years now.


Just kidding, that's a bummer.

Why in the hell was he asked to leave the park for his safety. Shouldn't the partiers been escorted out of the park? What the heck were the police thinking of?

 

[storm1972]

That's sick and wrong !!!

I am not surprised at all. Times are a changin, and not for the good. Yet anytime someone protects themselves they are arrested. We need some Texas law here.

Thats what I thought also.......sometimes I just don't understand the police was it easier or more convenient to remove 1 man rather than the partiers that assaulted him?

wish the bodybuilder made some heads roll

the old boy did the right thing just made himself too known... good on him!

 

[arff]

Wow. That is just wrong.

Yeah lets wreck this good samaritans weekend so we aren't inconvienanced anymore? Last one back to Timmies is a rotten egg!!

 

[ferniesnow]

3 sides to every story ...... just sayin. Never nice to see someone get hurt though.

So what are the other two sides? 1 Guy got attacked by 3. I don't care how many sides to a story there are that is wrong. There is a reason I always keep a piece of self protection in my truck.

In BC we have Stanley Cup Riots and in Alberta we have people beating up old guys in campgrounds. Our society is going down hill very fast and unless things change with the legal system and family values at home, we will continue to see this. Cant believe the cops suggest he leave for his own safety and not the other way around. There is a perfect example how screwed up the system is. Grrrrr

You'll have to elaborate on that one.

 

[Bnorth]

You'll have to elaborate on that one.

The old man's side, the partiers' side, and the truth.

I was hoping that sledderdoc had more knowledge of the incident that we don't have. It would be nice to hear from someone that watched this unfold. Regardless of any side 6 on 1 is ridiculous. If the old guy had picked a fight then got punched by one person and told to screw off that's a different story. But for 6 people to start kicking him and not stop until someone had the guts to approach the situation... Well there is never justification for that no matter what each side of the story is.

 

[X-it]

There is only 1500 deaths each year from drunk driving, and usually not the drunks.... how dare this guy stop them from driving

 

[MACHINE]

The law's in this country sometime just amazed me , the justice system in Canada is f#$%^D they should bring Texas law's lol

Especially when the guy being beat is a 61 year old grandpa. Even grumpy old farts don't deserve that.
