I was driving around 3ish 4? Saw a big group on the side walk in front of the coffee shop (Blenz?). They were beating a drum, looked like a bunch of natives.

GabAlmighty 02-21-2011 10:49 PM

Don't know about on the street but my buddy puked in the skytrain walkway the other night.. Was so proud of him.

ra604 02-21-2011 11:20 PM

just got out of jail
court date has already been set.

While I was waiting, I was thinking... will i let these hippies slow me down because they have nothing better to do (unemployed or don't go to school)

plowed through those moterfuckers, lol.

GrapeDrink 02-22-2011 01:08 AM

^ lol so true at least for the ones that do hang out outside blenz, one time I was buying a textbook and the seller wanted to meet in front of Blenz and I got there a bit earlier than planned so I was just waiting around and they were all staring me down, like relax I don't want your pregnant girlfriend or to start my own hacky sack circle.

It feels good that my fellow immigrants have such high respect for the indigenous people of this land.

orange7 02-22-2011 02:29 AM

they want us to get off "their" land, how about get off OUR roads?

they better not protest tomorrow (tuesday) cause I got a Canucks game to catch at home.

They should keep it open. Keep at-risk youth doing things instead of hanging around the station and causing trouble ( There was a stabbing last Wednesday at the SE corner of the intersection. Pool of blood was still on the street, people were walking on it not knowing it was there :whistle: )

ilvtofu 02-22-2011 09:17 AM

Oo I didn't see this thread I thought there was a bad car accident or something

Naw, but seriously, I hate skids in general. The type to ask you for a smoke and if you say no they try and front on you

I have never had that problem when skids ask me for a smoke,I always turn them down.

b0unce. [?] 02-22-2011 02:52 PM

I actually support the Indigenous people of Canada and find it deplorable how often racism comes into factor when these types of situations arises (even seen in this thread).

But I am going to treat this not as a native issue but as a protest issue:

Why conduct a protest when it is not clearly visible what you are protesting about. Despite the fact the message is vague, they also go ahead and inconvience the very people they need support of (the general public). This will create a backlash that is recognized even here.

HondaGuy 02-22-2011 03:38 PM

Seeing these protest is just another reminder that Critical Mass is fast approaching when sunny weather approaches :-(

Seriously, sometimes its just a nuisance on the roads.
