THIS IS BINGO COUNTRY
Bingo violence erupts in Canada:
An elderly man died last night after being ambushed for his winnings outside a North York bingo hall by three women.
Police were called to Bingo Country on Finch Avenue just east of Milvan Drive around 11 p.m. after witnesses reported seeing the senior being robbed and beaten ...
Bingo veterans saw it coming:
“This place should be closed up,” said one elderly woman after she was allowed to leave the bingo hall. “It’s been bad for a while.”
You don’t know the half of it, lady.
See what happens when you ban smoking at bingo halls. I’d use nicotine withdrawal symptoms as a defence. And I haven’t been to Elgin in weeks. Well, days at least. 36 hours counts as “days”, doesn’t it?

Sure, sure…that’s what they all say…“weeks” down to “days”...then “36 hours”...soon…well maybe a ‘little’ less than “36 hours”.
Just exactly where were you when this dastardly deed occurred? May we contact your witnesses?...LOL.
Shouldn’t be joking really…poor old fella’ died.
Police refused to confirm… gunshot wounds…
No, eight men just dropped dead simultaneously of heart attacks.
Dirty crime-ridden furriners. I’m staying in L.A. where it’s safe.

I blame wise guys from Vermont who have been trying to stake out a claim on our turf. That and our lax border security. It’s either them or the ice wine guys are getting an early start in staking out territory for next November. And I do have an alibi; I was at a 24-hr bingo hall at the time.

Yeah couldn’t be rum runners…that stopped when FDR made old man Kennedy the ambassador to the Brits.
Hell we’ll give y’all Vermont…Hey make it a package…Vermont, Maine and New Hampshire, Massachusetts with an option on New York and Connecticut…lol.

Yeah sure….hmmmmm.
Full disclosure here…The Sydney Morning Herald has hired me to find several Muslims. I can wire them and float them around asking stupid ass questions in different dialects, PLUS Farsi and Awaysi, OR they may retain the MODERATE Muslim, I know NOTHING, infidel, look.
You say, you have your OWN Muslims? Well MINE will be on Camels, wearing NASCAR robes.
How long before the Canucks blame bingo crime on Bush?
Canada’s media is like Europe’s - when they get a spate of murders or school shootings, they use phrases like “American-style violence” or “the Americanization of violence”. It serves the simultaneous purposes of making it look like an aberration (“that’s not our way”) and the fault of America (“that’s their way.”)
Here’s the real Chopper Bingo ... or is it the one linked to in #14 above? Dunno, but either look like they could’ve done the dirty deeds ...
Canada Police: 8 Slain Men Knew Each Other
TORONTO (AP) - Eight men found dead inside abandoned vehicles in a remote wooded area of a farmer’s property were all from greater Toronto and all knew each other, Canadian police said Sunday.
The men were found Saturday morning in four vehicles, including a tow truck, at a farm in Shedden, about 90 miles northeast of Detroit.
“We are confident that all the victims were known to each other and were from the greater Toronto area,” Ross Bingley of the Ontario Provincial Police said.
Well I’ll be damned, Mr. Bingley.
No gun violence in Canada… Unlocked doors… No crime… No fear… Move along, now… nothing to see here…

Posted by Infidel Tiger on 2006 04 09 at 08:51 PM • permalinkThe bloody Canuckers love to think that the People’s Democratic Republic of Canada is a haven of peace and tranquility, but it ain’t. Outside the inner cities of the US, you are many time less likely to be a victim of violent crime as a US citizen than as a Canadian. The UK, Oz and Canuckistan all have higher rates of filthy scrotes relieving you of your valuables on the street than the US. Most of the homicides in the States are Community Service Murders anyway. Subtract out gangbangers shooting gangbangers and murder rates in the major Anglosphere countries are broadly similar.
Posted by David Gillies on 2006 04 09 at 09:07 PM • permalinkActually I recall a tv programme I saw a few years back that didn’t fill me with much confidence in the Canadian police’s crime fighting ability.
Canadians or people familiar with the story can fill in the details and correct any errors I make but it is quite an interesting tale.
It happened in Vancouver I think and involved the serial killing of several prostitutes from the city. The girls were mostly addicts and from broken homes and may have been disproportionately of Indian (native north American or whatever the correct Canuck terminology is). Anyway the girls started disappearing but given their backgrounds and profession no one really bothered that much. However the family of one girl did care and started asking around the part of town that she operated in and discovered that many other girls had disappeared in similar circumstances.
The family met with the cops and told them that they believed a seial killer was operating. The cops weren’t that convinced and suggested that the girls had simply moved on. Later a university criminologist who also worked for the cops got interested and began to investigate and he too came to the conclusion that a serial killer was operating but got sacked for his pains.
Eventually the family began to hear about two brothers who were pig farmers just out of town. These guys were part of a biker gang and held regular drug crazed orgies in their barn with prozzies they’d picked up in town. Most of the working girls knew about these parties and were frightened of them because of the violence associated with the orgies and the fact that some girls never came back. Anyway armed with this knowledge the family went back again to the police so they sent an officer out to the farm and he asked the brothers whether they were having drug fuelled orgies and murdering hookers on their premises, “No sir” they replied, “OK sorry to bother you” and off he went back to base.
Well to cut a long story short after several more disappearances the cops eventually decided to look again at these guys and they found bits of human remains in the pig fodder and in the big wood chipper machine the brothers kept out the back. Nice story, great detective work.
Like I say I’m sure someone can fill out the details better than me.

Posted by Harry Flashman on 2006 04 09 at 10:34 PM • permalinkThe media here are hinting that the eight murders are biker gang related.
Canada has local municipal police forces, Harry, along with the federal RCMP that are the “state troopers” of every province except Ontario and Quebec that have their own provincial police forces. I’m not in a position to comment on their competency, especially of the BC ones.

Never come between women and bingo winnings.
My dear old mum plays bingo and has been to jail several times as a result.
No, just joking. She does play bingo, but her and her friends just get cross and groan loadly after someone calls “bingo”.
“The bloody bitch”, they say, “she won last time, I bet she’s sleeping with the caller.”

Posted by Evil Pundit on 2006 04 10 at 03:22 AM • permalinkI was stationed in Alabama several years back and they had several Bingo parlors in the area. They looked and were run like casinos. Except they didn’t have buffet tables and cheap booze. I had to go and see for myself. Large women with 20 cards or more holding ink stampers, frantically scanning the cards as the numbers were called out. And like others mention here, became quite agitated when someone would yell “BINGO!” Bus loads of church ladies acting like vicious back-alley gamblers. What fun.
You’re right about the Quebec biker war, Honkie, although I don’t know the final toll of dead bikers and innocent bystanders. What really started the crackdown was after a good, French-Cdn investigative journalist was killed by a car bomb after one too many stories about the gangs’ workings and deeds.
And back to the present:
http://tinyurl.com/kl3hv
(This link will only be valid for a limited time, 10 days or 2 weeks, or so.)But on the bright side of a biker war starting (in Ontario this time), it may give a boost to the new federal Conservative government to push its “get tough on crime” agenda through the minority Parliament. It was a platform plank that had the Libs and the leftist NDP also paying lip service to the idea after an innocent bystander was gunned down on Boxing Day on Toronto’s main street in the crossfire between Jamaican gangsters (along their Young Offender members) at the start of the election campaign.
But over the past few weeks, including the first week of sittings in the Commons, the NDP especially and the Libs, a bit, had been suggesting that they’d resist using the brutal, American-style reforms that the Tories were suggesting. (You know, like mandatory minimum sentences for firearms’ crimes; having to earn parole instead of it being granted virtually automatically, as now; building more federal pens; and the like.) So it’ll be harder to water down any tough legislation with the law being so openly flouted as in an outright biker war and if honest folk end up dead as a result.

Holy crap. That’s under a mile from where I work. My favourite Thai restaurant is at the corner of Milvan and Finch.
This is why I love the internet: I live in Toronto, and find out via an Aussie web site what’s going on in my own neck of the woods.
And yes, the local moonbat contingent will undoubtedly blame this on Harper and/or Bush. Already, they are freaking out because none of the “real” cities (ie. Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal) voted the Tories in, so obviously, the Tories are expected to bend over backwards to accomodate the people who voted against them, otherwise, in the next election, those people will, uh, vote against them… again.
Or something.
We’ve had a fairly high number of murders of late, including a charming shootout at a Boxing Day (Dec 26th) sale that killed a teen. Of course, the locals spent most of their time blaming the Yanks for letting Canadians buy guns legally from the US, then getting past the crack Canadian border guards to bring the guns here. “We must have action”, they demanded, and called for the US to more strongly defend the US/Canada border to prevent legal American goods from coming in. As of 2007, Canadians entering the US will require an identity card, so the same people are going apoplectic demanding the US not defend it’s border…
And yes, all the killings are “American style” (because we don’t do that sort of thing, you see). Already, it’s being blamed on American TV and radio (rap in particular), because obviously, our gentle lambs are incapable of listening to this without going ballistic.
Plus ca change, plus ca mem chose. My country, I love it. I just don’t like it very much most of the time…

“It’s a pretty isolated area. It doesn’t get much traffic, especially after dark,” Constable Doug Graham told Reuters news agency.
It sounds like where I live. The dreaded rural folk are out there.
