Members chris dax Posted July 18, 2005 Members Posted July 18, 2005 A 19-year-old Coquitlam man was savagely beaten by a group of teenaged girls Friday night, making it the ninth swarming by teenagers in Vancouver in the last month. Wesley Tommy Jack was drinking in Strathcona Park with about 12 other people -- one friend whom he had met through work, and the rest friends of his friend. Between 2:30 and 3 a.m., a group of three or more girls, between the ages of 16 and 18, attacked him. "I just remember some girl started to punch me," said Jack, who did not know any of the girls. "I told her I wasn't going to hit her back. I remember I got hit hard by a few people and blacked out. When I woke up, I had nothing left." Jack was punched and kicked repeatedly. His face was severely swollen, his shirt ripped and back scratched. He was also missing $180 in cash and all of his jewelery. Last week, a 12-year-old and two 13-year-old girls were arrested and charged in connection with an assault on a 13-year-old girl earlier this month near a park at Pandora and Nanaimo streets. Three Grade 7 students were also recently arrested for luring a boy into a ravine last month, beating him with a garden hoe and shooting him with a pellet gun. there's more here

Members illidian Posted July 18, 2005 Members Posted July 18, 2005 Wow. Girls going around in groups of three and mugging people. I'd hate to live up there. I'd be looking out for a group of three young girls looking to jump me.

Members bleepo Posted July 18, 2005 Members Posted July 18, 2005 I've obviously been following this fairly closely. Although all unrelated, there is a trend. I was having a beer after work with some friends last night and a trunk teenager walked into our parking lot with a crowbar in his hand looking for some other kids. I love Coquitlam, and live 2 mins away. My city, Port Moody, won an award in 2004 for the most livable city of it's size in the world. That said, i'd rather be here than anywhere else.
Members bleepo Posted July 18, 2005 Members Posted July 18, 2005 Port Moody won two big awards at the international LivCom Awards (also known as the International Awards for Liveable Communities) announced October 19, 2004. Port Moody captured first place in the international "Planning for the Future" award (over 50 competing cities included Honolulu, Seattle, Westminster, U.K., Camden, Australia as well as cities from Australia, U.S., Czech Republic, and Ireland). The city also captured third place overall in their population category for the "most liveable community in the world". "We are thrilled to win third best city in the world for liveability, along with first place internationally for best planning for the future," commented Port Moody Mayor Joe Trasolini. "We've stopped urban sprawl with densification, and we're saving the natural environment, and that helped Port Moody win this international recognition." Port Moody
