Of course he feeds them some sort of bogus story, so then I have to explain to the police what happened.
Credit to the police though, they were really understanding of what had happened, and even offered me some advice on how to deal with people like this.
So wtf... is this normal here? Do I need to be wary of crazy people like this? | can you share?
i think that's the most useful part of this story...

Well let me tell you. I moved to Alberta about 6 months ago. Last month I went back to the Lower Mainland to visit. Two nights I went out, in a bar in Burnaby and the next night in downtown. I got into a fights for basically minding my own business both nights.
Are there trolls irl in Vancouver? Maybe. Is there a culture built around being a total douche, definitely. When I miss the mountains and ocean of BC, where I was born and raised, I quickly remind myself about the toxic people that live there.

I wouldn't expect it to become too common, as most people know that mouthing off a stranger will eventually get them beat up. We all know getting punched in the face isn't fun.
I imagine he was some DTES mental illness case who was no threat to you, just being combative for no reason. I've certainly been accosted by randoms, but thats usually the obvious explanation.
I had some guy yell at me tonight oddly enough when I was walking the seawall in North Van, but with my dog with me he was clearly not in the right state of mind as to what actually was happening/will happen if it escalated.
That said it didn't, and I felt bad for him for when it inevitably does.

I was driving down E Hastings last month, stuck in traffic and I see this guy walking in traffic asking for money. I tried not to make eye contact but buddy walks up, taps my side view mirror and decides to come up to my window. I roll it half way and give him a loonie, he swears and throws the loonie back in the car and hits my passenger side window. I swore at him but he walked away. Not much you can do with crack heads.

| You can't tell with some people though. Regardless, certainly no judgement passed on you wether they were or not. You were feeling threatened and had every right to react the way you did.

just shake your head at him and move on with your day.
though it is cracker jack central to do that, said cracker did nothing illegal.
you need to grow up.

you need to grow up. | If a random person starts verbally engaging like that for absolutely no reason, you can be damn sure to expect him to escalate and start throwing punches for no reason as well. If the OP was feeling threatened he was well within reason to defend himself, before he took a punch in the face. Maybe stepping outside was the wrong choice, but you weren't there, and I don't think you should be lecturing anyone based on the info provided.

Not fucking with Berz is just common knowledge. Kinda like trying to pick a fight with a silverback gorilla, you know damn well if you do, you're gonna get your ass whooped.

Does he have a business card that says "berz out" that he leaves with his victims?

let me guess, the cops told you to not engage in the future and if you feel threatened to call them...
it takes a bigger man to not use physical confrontation than to start throwing punches.
