Somehow this smells oddly like immigrant organized crime; they seem to be oddly more creative than our thugs.


My suggestion:  Vancovuor just isn't that large of a place, start questioning all of the newly gimped.

Actually, none of the feet have appeared in Vancouver. All were found on Georgia Straight or Gulf islands. The immigrant thug hypothesis is certainly possible, but planting feet on uninhabited islands is a a strange way to send a message. This feels to me more in the line of stealing traffic cones...and daring the cops to catch you. I think someone's having fun...one foot at a time.

I was wondering if they were all from the same victim.

Well I actually assumed the individuals in question who had lost said foot where less concerned about where it washed up at then their concern with the actual process of losing said foot.

In the end organized crime require density of population to succeed, so Vancovour is the defacto location of interest.

Probably wrong. I see nothing in this to localize a search yet. Even the assumption of organized crime is weak, at this point. The only thing that can be said is that someone with an excess of detached feet also has a boat. They're probably checking the marinas all up and down the coast.

C'mon Willie, it's you isn't it?  You seem to be a shrimper at heart.

Careful Emmy, he's "homophobic AND bad tempered"...oh, and also redundant...
But hey, if you can convince him to get some organgami, go for it.

The latest update linked to that story states that all of the feet were detatched, not severed, from the legs by "natural means."

What are these “natural means” and should we be concerned for the wellbeing of our feet? Inquiring minds want to know.

Organized crime is rife in the maritime areas well outside vancover and across the straits on Vancouver island. The gangs like to go snooping around till they find a grower's operation and then tell him he is working for them. At harvest the hapless grower will be lucky if he gets enough to pay his utility bills. If he complains they turn him into the mounties which satisfies both the gang members plea deals for snitching and fulfills the mountie's quotas without having to spend any to do investigative work themselves.

There has also also been a long history of strange characters and goings on amongst the rural folks. Having spent years in that area I attribute some of it to the social fallout that comes in subsequent generation  after the boom cycle based economies in natural resources go bust and those left behind fall into poverty, drink and other ills.

All these feet were in running shoes and I bet they floated up after the body decomposed. Those Reeboks have been known to cross the Pacific none the worse for wear after being let loose from a burst container lost overboard in Asia. A few years ago you could find them on Ebay after they were gathered up from NW beaches.

That and the fact that the resource extractors of B.C. were always hard drinkers. Mix alcoholism and poverty together and you have a sad bunch of yokels. Then throw shitloads of dirty, dumb hippies into the mix, add a rapidly increasing complement of snooty-yuppy-city-spilth, dump all of these dumb fucks onto a small island (I've spent years of my life on islands  you can walk around in a day), find a place for coffee, then sit back and watch the dysfunction.
And lastly, before I abandon this topic for video games, it has to be remembered that there may be no connective explanation for these feet at all. I'm still hoping for a serial killer, or the Big Circle-Jerk Boys, but it could easily come down to something much more mundane.

Wilber, you are such a fuckwad. Why the hell would I drive down the hall to my bathroom when there's a perfectly good shuttle service already available?
