A backpack nutsack, it’s totally totetarded

A CTV news report is now saying that:

Because of this, I'll take my previous comment back.

Mind you, I continue to hold the belief that the condition is not a licence to break the law, or even just to behave the way this person did. Given what he has done as well as his condition, it is clear to me that he needs to receive professional help and continue to do so to ensure / minimize the chances of this happening again.

if shits too heavy for work you take a big poo cuz it's better on your back?

LOL! The irony that this adult with a backpack is an actual retard.

Another adult with a backpack :D, though, leagues above this threads generalization.

First people think it's acceptable for students to wear backpacks, then backpackers... Now soldiers???

What next, you think it's OK for a skydiver to wear one?

Am i the only one who doesnt feel at ease that the word "developmentally challenge" is thrown around so easily that suddenly we just forgive and forget and accept? I understand that the challenge is real but where do we draw the line that being "challenged" is not always an excuse for an action. I hear a lot on the media nowadays of individuals hurting others and you see flames in thread shooting left and right but the moment the word "challenged" comes out, flames die faster the flash masturbating with speedforce.

LOL at all the comments on this thread.

What surprises me is all the bystanders.

The moral of the story is, you never go full retard.

Pretty close definition to the two words, "god bless."

Any time I do something dumb and know I've screwed up, "god bless" always works. All of a sudden, I'm forgiven and seen as a good friend. Only works on christians, of course. I used to work in Abbotsford, so the words came in handy. "Hey, man, I'm really sorry. Can you find it in your good christian heart to forgive me?" Never really worked until I added, "god bless." All of a sudden, I'm invited over for dinner and accepted into their circle of, "friends."

My bag can actually shift between a backpack and a briefcase. I use the backpack mode mostly, but sometimes I use the briefcase mode.

You're right, he probably also needs an AR-15 to complement the professional help

NICE!

A transformer backpack............. always wanted one of those.

What I really want to see, is James Bond wear a backpack or fanny pack. And yes, this thread is now officially a backpack thread. Gulolol.


All we need now are pics of people's backpacks.

You didn't get my low key joke. :facepalm: :troll:

Riding the bus in the morning every man is carrying a backpack. White or yellow

TF does race have to do with anything :fulloffuck:

Richmond residents riled up over proposed temporary modular housing project for the homeless | Daily Hive Vancouver

Another temporary modular housing project for the homeless is attracting neighbourhood opposition and community activism.

But this time, it’s in Richmond, where the project is proposed.


BC Housing and the City of Richmond are proposing to build a three-storey modular structure at 7300 Elmbridge Way – the southwest corner of the intersection of Elmbridge Way and Alderbridge Way; a City-owned site, right next to an ICBC Claim Centre, that is currently used as an off-leash dog park.

It will have 40 units – each outfitted with a kitchen and bathroom – with around-the-clock on-site support services by RainCity Housing to address the immediate needs of those struggling to find a place to live. This includes breakfast and a hot meal on a daily basis, life-skills training, and access to primary health and mental health services. Residents will also share communal amenity spaces.

Over the longer run, such housing developments will transition the homeless individuals from Richmond towards housing independence and improved quality of life.

The project is being proposed as homelessness has sharply risen in Richmond in recent years. According to the 2017 homeless count, there are 70 homeless people in the city, which represents an 84% increase since 2014.

Moreover, local non-profit service providers say over 120 individuals currently need outreach support, and about 130 individuals seeking shelter at local facilities are turned away monthly. This includes about 60 women per month who are fleeing violence.

However, not everyone is supportive of the project and its location.

“This is so wrong of a place to put it here,” Yating Wu, a local resident, told Daily Hive. “We don’t want needles and crime in our neighbourhood and it will give Richmond a bad reputation as there are hotels next to this homeless housing. Put it in the Downtown Eastside, not in Richmond.”

There were similar concerns last year for the Marpole modular housing project in Vancouver, which culminated with the City of Vancouver receiving a court injunction to remove protesters from the site.

Wu is part of a WeChat group with several hundred members who plan to rally against the project in the weeks to come, and many of these members have already signed a growing petition calling on City Council to reject the proposal.

The project has received significant media attention since Wednesday’s open house at Richmond Public Library, where a man allegedly kicked a librarian during the event. Police have since identified the man, but they say the assault was “unrelated” to the open house.

If the project receives City Council’s approval this spring, construction could start by summer or fall for a move-in by late-2018 or early-2019, and the structure will remain in place for a period of up to five years.

The provincial government has set aside $291 million to construct 2,000 modular housing units for the homeless in municipalities across BC.

About $60 million is going to Vancouver where 600 units will be built. To date, five modular housing sites in Vancouver have been announced, and 260 units are currently in development.

In Surrey, the first three sites for modular housing structures have been identified. A total of 160 units at these sites will be ready for occupation by early this spring.

Last year, Richmond partnered with the Salvation Army and the provincial government to proceed with a plan to open a 36-bed homeless shelter at 12040 Horseshoe Way, which is located in an industrial area away from residences.

where are some current homeless hotspots in Rmd?

WRONG. Moral of the story is, you ALWAYS go full retard DansGame
Or pretend to be Christian.

god bless..............

Not sure if these strategies are implemented now, but three areas I'd focus on with homeless units:

1) random drug tests. Three strikes, you're out.
2) labour obligation. We will find you some form of work. Don't want it? Out.
3) goes with 2. Once employed, we will find you low income housing to transition to for a specified period until wage increase allows the option to leave.

Those sound pretty fair to me. If they aren't already being enforced.

Welcome to Soviet Canada 4Head

The actual solution IMO is universal basic income. Some people just can't "be a part of the work force". And for some, it's not about "picking yourself up by the bootstraps and get to work" or "if you don't like this job we give you, live on the streets"

UBI will set everyone up with very basic living expenses. If you want to be a lazy piece of shit, go ahead. At least you aren't bothering anyone else. If you want to take your new free time that was once spent digging ditches or making burgers, and spending it on something that will make you (and society) better, you can do so without having to worry about starving to death. One issue would be drug use, but that can be somewhat mitigated with regular testing to stay eligible, etc.

It's coming anyway, Canada might as well lead the way. As more jobs become automated, less "don't like it but do it anyway" jobs will become non existent. Then you have the 'bootstraps' people joining with the lazy people, simply because they can't find work. And that's not even taking into consideration the birth rate getting lower and lower.

it is a poor choice for the homeless shelter. that area right now is full of 1/2-1 million dollar condos/apartments/townhouses. Its also close to the oval and is considered a real "hipster" place. Obviously any shelter in that location would greatly decrease property values so I can see why the nieghbourhood is all up in arms about it.

They should move all those shelters to bridgeport rd / no 4 / no5 area.
