First I have ever heard of the BLM being a state agency. i dont think you understand my point. i was stating an analagous error of similar magnitude as an example. do you need me to explain it further to you?

fleblebleb Posted July 8, 2003 Posted July 8, 2003 Yowza. That's it, I'm sending my money to the Nigerians, I'll be rich soon. The first post here looked like nothing real, but the re-telling seems very different. Quote
Dru Posted July 8, 2003 Posted July 8, 2003 flebby, you bring up interesting point: where was Dan - when all this went on? Quote
jefffski Posted July 8, 2003 Posted July 8, 2003 Shannon, sorry to hear about your incident. As a canadian i can tell you that violence is a fact of life here, as it is all over the world. squamish is not immune. tourists are not immune either. i am satisfied that you and your friends will get a fair hearing. the RCM police i am sure, will listen. our press will help ensure that. We are listening. I can tell you that although violence happens it is infrequent. Canada is a relatively peaceful place However statistics do show that people who live under the poverty line and aboriginals are more often involved with violence during their lives. Sad but true. Squamish has both. Squamish, as some of you may know, is a relatively poor place that relies heavily on logging for its economic health. The us softwood duties and lower world prices for lumber have not helped. as well, squamish is home to many aboriginal people So squamish is a real place with real people. Shannon et al learned that first hand, unfortunately, but thank goodness you are all okay. If you want to climb in a perfect place, squamish ain't it (and it rains too!). But it's pretty darn close. If you want to climb in a place where the climbing is amazing, the people are (usually) very friendly and your dollars make a difference (and you don't mind a rain day now and then and now), then squishizit. to those who feel that violence is best dealt with violence, please climb elsewhere. Shannon, please keep us posted. Quote
fleblebleb Posted July 8, 2003 Posted July 8, 2003 But those who feel that violence is best dealt with with macho posturing, please post here! By all means! Quote

erik Posted July 8, 2003 Posted July 8, 2003 JOSH THEY DONT ACTUALLY EVER GET OUT OF THEIR COMPENSATOR TRUCKS!!!!! Quote
ShannieRose509 Posted July 8, 2003 Posted July 8, 2003 This is Shannon, again, & now I have my own access. If anyone has any info. regarding the attack on my friends & me, please let me know ASAP! I also wanted to let everyone know that I spoke w/ & faxed the U.S. Attorney General today. He is fully aware of what's going on. Furthermore, Jeremy & I are supposed to have an interview w/ KOMO TV tomorrow (wednesday). We feel that it is so important to inform everyone of what's happened. I don't want anyone to have to go through what we went through. It is a frightening & horrific experience. Please pass on to your friends & family to be careful when travelling in the Squamish area. I don't know if those individuals are looking to retaliate against more Americans or not. According to the American Consolate this is a direct violent attack against Americans travelling in that region. We are dealing with the situation and as I've previously mentioned, I will keep everyone posted. ~Shannon~ Quote

You may choose to roll over when confronted, but I won't just stand there and allow myself to get jumped, or my partner for that matter, without putting up a fight. Is your life so worthless that you won't defend it? Quote
Scott_J Posted July 8, 2003 Posted July 8, 2003 Ditto, Greg. And it don't matter where or what country for that matter. Even though I spray and have a good BS time here I really try to have fun and get along. But don't fuckin try to hurt me, my family(family includes dog) or friends. If this happens its time to step up to the plate and dance. Quote
Greg_W Posted July 8, 2003 Posted July 8, 2003 Each man (or woman) has the inalienable rights to LIFE, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That includes the right to defend that life in any means possible. If you make a decision NOT to do that, it speaks volumes for the worth you put on your life. Mine, for one, is priceless; it's the only one I've got. Further, those I consider friends and loved ones are priceless to me, as well. Am I the only one who thinks this way? Quote

Can't take guns into Canada, numbnuts. I am pretty low-key when I'm out and about, as friends will attest. I don't look for trouble. However, when it comes there's no point in fighting fair. If they come to dance, then they get what they deserve; juvenile or not. Apparently they are old enough to make the decision to prey on strangers. They get no sympathy from me. Quote

Fence_Sitter Posted July 8, 2003 Posted July 8, 2003 pick up the soap time in reform school I'LL PASS! bustin skulls is much more appealing.. but then again what isn't? Quote
Fence_Sitter Posted July 8, 2003 Posted July 8, 2003 not bust caps time when i'm trying to get some shuteye. you option is to run or to bust skulls what's it gonna be? i have only run from one fight in my life and that was WAY more than justifiable... what is the point of running? they win... it is small scale terrorism and i will have no part of it...

allthumbs Posted July 8, 2003 Posted July 8, 2003 It's time for some Confederate Air Force low-level airstrikes on Squish. I'll lead the campaign. Quote
