Isn’t this the same area where another douche bag was operating not long ago?
Seems to be quite a time lap between 6am Thursday, and the report to the police on Friday.
We should probably have more patrols in quasi commercial/residential area’s like Pinewood, Ospika, 5th Avenue, Tabor, 10th 15th and 20th.
These are all main thoroughfares and patrolling would help to keep crime down. Especially between midnight and 7am.
Small town, big problem.
If and when this alleged gentleman is caught, charged and found guilty I would suggest Crown council initiate immediately if not sooner a gender sensitivity course. Obviously this person is sadly lacking in this department. Maybe bring his mother to view the trial. She may have a few words for him.
But Harbinger, people like that by definition don’t have mothers….
The description sounds like about 1/4 of the population in PG.
No doubt.
