Cops Initiate 'Homeless' Registry In Victoria
David Arthur Johnston

Victoria, BC- This morning, moments before the opening of Our Place, the main drop-in center in Victoria at Johnson and Douglas, police rolled up and started taking the names of everyone waiting for it to open. Approximately 20 to 30 people were there and it is unknown, at this time, if everyone cooperated or if the police just got whom they were hunting, if that was the case. They opened at 7:00 AM and police left before 7:30 AM. The police admitted that they were taking their own 'homeless survey'.

It seems to be generally accepted that there has been a transgression on the part of the police, though the specifics of legalese has yet to be determined. - Wed, 14 Nov 2007 11:45am

just think of it like a homeless phone book... except without the address part... and the phone number(in some cases). So really its just a registry to not be concerned with... unless YOU REALLY ARE A NINJA! - Wed, 14 Nov 2007 11:53am

How come you don't respond to any of the people who respond to your posts anymore, DAJ? - Wed, 14 Nov 2007 1:53pm Edited: Wed, 14 Nov 2007 1:53pm

Taking a survey is not 'initiating a registry', asshole. The the police are funded by the same tax dollars that Our Place is, the same tax dollars that keep you alive. So cut them some slack. - Wed, 14 Nov 2007 2:00pm

Every time I see the word "Taleban", I think, BANANA!
If they wanted to be taken seriously, and be all scary, they should have come up with a better name. - Fri, 16 Nov 2007 3:19pm

I miss my baby (da baby). I had to leave her with the ex (who got her in the first place - was supposed to be HIS dog). For the last year and a half she has been miserable wallowing in the yard and starving for attention. So last weekend I couldn't stand it anymore so I told him I was taking her to a family that could look after her in the manner she deserves (as I was putting her in the truck). I gave her to a co-worker who I know will love her as much as I do and give her all the love and care and attention that I could not and the ex would not. Now she is never outside unless being taken for a walk and has 5 people doting on her day and night. Going to visit her this weekend! I can't wait. - Sat, 17 Nov 2007 9:25am

Gee Danielle. That's kinda sad. Here's another puppy picture to cheer you up. Our oldest dog was technically my idea, but she bonded so strongly with my wife that if we ever broke up I would do whatever it took to keep them together.
It isn't your old girl is it? - Sun, 18 Nov 2007 12:40am

Round him up and send them to Afghanistan so that he can take his dump on the Taleban's minefields. That would solve Victoria's problem and the soldiers' as well. - Tue, 8 Apr 2008 11:51pm
