RuMR Posted July 8, 2003 Posted July 8, 2003 you left out possibly killing one of them as well as getting yourself killed... either scenario sucks...best to try and talk your way out of it and just leave... Quote
Thinker Posted July 8, 2003 Posted July 8, 2003 I camped out on the Spit at Squamish this last weekend and had a few nagging doubts about feeling that exposed in a place where kids obviously party from time to time. While everything went off without a hitch, I think I'll be a bit more hesitant about camping there in the future, or at least camp with a larger group when I can. I don't know what to make of Shannon's experience. I do look forward to seeing more of the details confirmed and hearing what RCMP has to say about it, if anything. Quote

I think we can expect this to make the news because it's yet another fearful experience to present to the sedated public. "From the station that brought you Y2K, and killer tooth paste, we are proud to present, 'Crazy Canadians Target Innocent Americans'. Folks, you won't want to miss this shocking story, and what you can do to sneak your personal firearm over the border to protect your loved ones. Stay tuned. Back after these messages. Cue ad for Colgate Toothpaste (the killer one was Mentadent)" Quote
Bronco Posted July 8, 2003 Posted July 8, 2003 I was thinking it would be more like "Stay home locked in your bathroom all summer because you could die if you come out into the world, especially Canada" Quote

So, like I said, I doubt the truth of THIS particular story. For what it's worth, I am researching this attack for a possible news story and the RCMP confirms that the attack was reported on July 1. I still don't know any details, though. Quote

Out goal is not to sensatinalize everything that happens. This attack is clearly something that is of interest to you guys (evidenced by the large number of postings on this topic) so if you're talking about it, don't you think others might be talking about it as well?

This topic was interesting on this board because it affects most of us that may either live or climb in Squamish. Your average homeowner in Bellevue will just see the headline and say, "That's it honey, we're going to Wenatchee for vacation this year. There's too many rednecks in Squamish. Canada is SUCH a violent country. I say we boycott Canadian products and smash in the windows of the local Canadian grocer like we did with those sappy French when they refused to join in the fun in Iraq." Quote

If you want me to shut up, you'll have to do better than "Shut up Goddamn". You sound like a fucking retard. Take an office poll and come up with a better put down because you sound like a fool that took exception to my third-grade remark. I think it hit close to home. Am I warm? Quote
JGowans Posted July 8, 2003 Posted July 8, 2003 better. but i know you can even better. let yourself go. feel the hatred mix with bile and spew forth. Quote
RuMR Posted July 8, 2003 Posted July 8, 2003 ummm... How's 'bout fuck off, you bollock-chewin' bloody bastard? Name callin aside, my point was that it would make the news here as well and has nothing to do w/ spin... Quote

How bout you'all get 20 of your friends together and take turns beating the crap outta each other? That would make it all feel so much better! Quote
JGowans Posted July 8, 2003 Posted July 8, 2003 you're right it would make the news. i also think though that it would have a spin put on it such that we'd all be afraid to go to Mt. Rainier national park, Discovery Park, or wherever the danger lurked. Quote

I was complaining that the news crews will get a hold of it and have everyone believe that we shouldn't go to Canada. It could have applied to Fred Meyers in Ballard. Quote

fleblebleb Posted July 8, 2003 Posted July 8, 2003 Bwahah, this thread is awesome. I claim partial credit for the awesomeness of it all I think we should nominate Fence Shitter as the cc.com one-man commando team for insertion into hostile territory, like Squamish, Walla Walla and Trask's rear end. Come on (fan fan), flame flame flame! See you all at pub club! Quote
