Oh my goodness......

I walked down the avenue yesterday...it must have happened just a short while after. I, usually, feel safe doing my walk there though this place has a bad rep. Here is hoping this poor man makes it. He is in the Royal Alexandria...the best hospital, I think.

I hope he makes it, too.

"Upgraded to stable" sounds very promising; prayers being said. The suspects were known by the police????? Mz. Star, please be safe.

Seems like they swarmed the man. Not gang related. I am going to ask my landlord about it. He was working and would be first responder yesterday.

Geez, Staro - what's going on with Edmonton? I hope he is ok. You stay safe too.

Swarmed? Is that a new attack trend?

...the youth gangs here, that have "graduated" to the adult system use a similar technique...

 

[Van Blaricum]

People are swarming and flash mobbing people on the streets and even have dragged people out of cars and attacked them. Often a large group of youth will burst into a store in a swarm and rush out leaving nothing behind.

Okay, here is another one for the books that happened in Alberta just a few days ago. It makes no sense at all! Where are the kitties? I wish they would return the precious things they took with them.

They leave with "Mom's remains" WTF - I am afraid to open your link!

 

[Neesy]

Edit - okay - cremated remains - that makes MUCH more sense!

 

[staropeace]

I do not care about the remains as much as I care about the two kittens they stole.

it may have been someone known by the deceased

No clue. It seems so weird. They must be cat lovers too.

Not really. I studied Justice in school, and I absorbed a lot on how to think about crimes based on how they are written about in the media, and to me, based on what I see in the article, the two bizarre items stolen could indicate a personal relationship with the deceased. Sometimes relatives, lovers, and former lovers have disagreements about estate matters and this is the type of thing you might see. The ashes came from someone loved, cats are something of domesticity, to love...this may be a crime of love, family... However, depending on the situation, and all items stolen, it could have been that the urn just looked cool to a couple of thieves, who may have taken it in a haste, not realising what was in the nice looking wooden box, just thinking that it looked good.

Well, they may very well be regular old thieves, that merely stole weird things, but there's a lot of crime around estates, it's usually white collar, but often a relative does not get what they felt entitled to and stoop to some irregular means.

Pimp slapping people is a crime of passion brought on by something called every day stressors.

Yeah, I can get passionate about slapping even without the big stressors like divorce or death. My hierarchy of needs is all about avoiding most folks....except the streetpeople...they are my passion.
I do hope the kitties are fine though. They are precious lil creatures.

 

[Van Blaricum]

Hopefully the thief gave the kitties to their wife/gf/kids, and if they kept them, hopefully they take good care of them. Maybe some leads will turn up, perhaps the cats are chipped.

I do hope so. I hope this all turns out well.
