leaf4 Posted January 2, 2014 Report Posted January 2, 2014 (edited) that's seriously messed up, glad he got his stuff back but no one should have that done to them ever especially someone like this guy, though I'm sure whoever it was didn't really care who he was Edited January 2, 2014 by leaf4
Roy Posted January 2, 2014 Report Posted January 2, 2014 I'm trying to figure out what this has to do with Vancouver.

BillM Posted January 2, 2014 Report Posted January 2, 2014 (edited) It's funny what some news outlets conveniently leave out just to make a feel good story. Read this. http://deadspin.com/man-beaten-up-while-running-across-canada-to-raise-mone-1492827931?utm_source=recirculation&utm_medium=recirculation&utm_campaign=thursdayAM And specifically this part. Update: Apparently, McDonald wasn't so much mugged as he got into a drunken, 3 a.m. imbroglio in hotel room with some randos he just met. Edited January 2, 2014 by BillM
Old Ironmaker Posted January 2, 2014 Report Posted January 2, 2014 The guy partied a bit too much and got into it with a few others probably in the same shape and left his bag behind. By the time the "news" hits the wires he was mugged and robbed by Canadian thugs. I'm just glad he wasn't hurt nor was anyone else. With all this social media stuff a New Years party scuffle becomes big news and he raises more money. I'm glad he only received a head ache. Why are we talking about this, any fishing today to report?
Skud Posted January 2, 2014 Report Posted January 2, 2014 If he was mugged he would have went straight to the police and then straight back to the room where he was attacked to get his stuff. He had to sober up first I guess or was too drunk to remember the room number.
