Driver Hits Deer.

I almost forgot to mention this incident.

Apparently last Friday a driver was issued a two-hundred and fifty something dollar traffic ticket for running a red light.

The same driver was run into by a deer on Whoop Up Drive (the damage confirms the deer hit the car from the side, it ,,,,,,,speed was 90KM/H........;;;;;


INSERT PICTURE HERE - WHEN YOU ARE BORED


So the cops eventually arrive on the scene and shoot the deer in the head to kill it because it was clearly mangled.

Really what are they supposed to do....take the deer to the emergency veterinary clinic, HAHA. Deer tastes good, but I think they feed deer that have been hit by vehicles to bears. The deer's muscles tense up before being killed by a car and result in chewy meat......


BLAH BLAH BLAH...................

Lethbridge XXXXXX Store Robbery Gone Wrong?

Something definitely wrong happened in, or just outside, the Lethbridge XXXXXX on 6TH Ave and 5Th Street South.

From what I have heard someone tried to rob the liquor store and/or steal something.

I have known the owner/manager to have a double thick hockey shaft sized bat behind the counter to apprehend potential thieves and burglars.

Apparently the suspect tried to rob the liquor store and the Manager XXXXXX intervened and subdued at least one of the criminals, either killing him in the process or putting him in the hospital.

I followed the ambulance to the hospital and they were in no emergency, but perhaps a hurry because I could not quite keep up.

There were at least 5-7 police vehicles involved in the aftermath. The CSI van later arrived on the scene.

So I guess the lesson is, if you are going to rob a liquor store you face the possibility of getting killed in the process, or at least fucked up big time in this case.

I really can not stop thinking about it. I remember seeing the woman who works there with her head down on the curb outside the liquor store, as well as XXXXXX who was wearing his emergency jacket, which I have never seen him wear before (it was the kind of overthrow an emergency highway worker or a conscientious tow truck driver would wear. TO BE SEEN.

I had a fare a short time later around three blocks from the crime scene and I immediately was thinking "that is very close to the incident", I wondered briefly if I was the eventual getaway plan or something worse...


.....................................................................................

The trip was cool... an XXXXXX Highway Asphalter home for a few days after working on the road in Red Rose or something... near some small town with a D.

The first place he wanted to go was the Lethbridge XXXXXX store, which was within 45 minutes of the incident. I told him about it and thought that it would be an interesting opportunity to get closer to the scene and maybe gather additional evidence. No evidence was gathered.

I drove as close as I could to the front door and asked two uniformed police officers "I know this is probably a dumb question, but is the liquor store still open?". It was not still open, but did re-open later in the evening.


AMATEUR VIDEO OF POLICE PRESENCE (immediate scene, not including outer perimeter).



HIV....Rumour.....Driver Story.

Apparently a certain XXXXXX woman who happens to work the streets at night has contracted, or has had for some time, a serious infectious viral disease known as HIV.

Also she has become pregnant and is completely fucked up.

XXXXXX the Crack Whore.....

What an interesring Sunday. I did not expect such an eventful night, especially one full of rumours, other drivers stories, and a police presence.

Apparantly, XXXXXX the "Crack Whore" XXXXXX prostitute whom I have mentioned previously has been in jail recently, then released, then she violated her probation and was returned to prison.

She was again supposedly released and has a strict curfew of 8:00PM and to refrain from using drugs, according to her (supposed) bail conditions.

The last time she was apparantly seen, by anyone I know, was walking Southbound down 5th street smoking out of her new crack pipe.

Who knows for sure about that...but I wouldn't doubt it. I have seen her recently in that area of Lethbridge and have had my suspiciouns. Also, I have not seen her out past her curfew.

Response...

To...Reader Comment

My Email to you was undeliverable.


I have read your message to me, a few times, and I have a response for you.

I believe your message was truthful and accurate. I also believe your message was full of racism. Perhaps you have become accustomed to native people ripping you off or committing crimes, sometimes against you.

I have been ripped ripped off equally by natives and white people. Perhaps I am able to recognize a bad trip and have not been ripped off by natives as much as you have, but I doubt that because you have been driving for much longer than I have.

I really am not quite sure how to respond to your letter. You say that Lethbridge is not a racist city, although within the letter you sent you are somewhat/very racist yourself.

Of course neither you or I want to admit it but I believe that most white people in Lethbridge are racist towards natives.

It only takes one negative experience.

I grew up in a multicultural community and have had and still have friends that are Hindi, Muslim, Black, Chinese, etc. After becoming a cab driver in Lethbridge I honestly believe the job has caused me to become prejudice and even racist towards certain natives.

I have had a few drinks tonight and normally I do not speak about this issue. I agree with you that it is mostly the select few natives that do not give a shit about themselves that portray a negative image about their race.

In conclusion I have to disagree with you that there is not racism in Lethbridge towards the native population. Most people that I speak with are racist towards natives.

I am saddened that I live in a community where racism against natives is abundant.

Also I have no idea who you are and that is OK with me.
