"THE BRICK'S" NEXT VICTIM OPPONENT

Richard has been pleased with my performance during sparring sessions, and asked me if I wanted him to find an opponent for me for April 25.
I told him that I would like that very much. 

He will be calling around to find someone over the next couple of weeks.
I hope he is able to find one.
Maybe someone from Mississauga. 
Yay! Oh, yeah...



AGGRESSIVE BEHAVIOUR BY SECURITY AND POLICE, IS IT JUSTIFIED?

I'm sure you are all aware of the incident that occurred earlier in the week at Union station.
There is a video going around, and the TTC is all upset about it.

For those who are not aware, or did not see the video. It shows a transit enforcement officer beating the crap out of 'passengers' in the station concourse.

For those who didn't see it, its here: TTC Special Constable allegedly assaults man in Union Station

Being a security guard myself, I am somewhat biased, but for good reason.

I look after two very large properties, at night, alone.
Therefore, forgive me if I don`t kiss your ass.

This is not a day shift concierge. Things are different at night. When your property is shut down, and someone is snooping, they are not there to visit someone or are looking for information.

The problem is, nobody thinks about night shift security. 
Our shift is more stressful than day shift, because we are always on alert. Every unusual sound, every unusual movement is a red flag.

I have seen everything. 
Interestingly, the Don Mills site is more "active" at night than the Bathurst site.
Everyone thinks Don Mills is a great area. 
Bullshit.
Maybe during the day, but after midnight, its a shithole.
I have seen drug deals going on, fights, a guy walking around with a knife.

Also, just a few weeks ago at the Bathurst site, someone was trying to get into the building at three in the morning. Pulling on the doors, then trying another set of doors, and tried every door.
I am the only one there. I can't just call for backup. 
There isn't any. Even the police can take up to five minutes to get there, and a lot can happen in that time.

My security company gives some piss-poor excuse of a self-defense course, in an effort to educate its guards without the risk of a liability issue. 
The idea being, if an attacker approaches you, push him back, and run.

Fuck that. 

If a man tries to attack me, I will knock him right the fuck out, and I won't have to run away. There will be plenty of time to walk, because it will be a long time before he gets up.
He may even need to get used to drinking his meals through a straw for a couple of months.

I am sick and freaking tired of the general public saying that security and police go too far, and that security guards are lazy.
Security guards get twelve fucking fifty an hour to keep your sorry asses safe. Even police are not paid enough for the crap they endure.

Ultimately, what I am saying is that security and police do what is needed to stop an attack.

I may complain about what the police and other security guards do sometimes, but I will never condone an attack. Nobody deserves to be attacked at their job.

If I witness an attack on another guard, TTC constable, or police officer, I will support that person whenever needed. Whether that be at a hearing, or in court, wherever else.
As I hope they would do the same for me, if I was ever in that unfortunate situation.

I hope you now understand our position on this matter.

For those who still don't understand, I have composed the following set of instructions to help you:

  1. Fuck off
  2. Drop dead
  3. Repeat
