Sitting on the bench were three of the village idiots smoking dope, unconcerned about any passersby including children. I thought to myself that I would love to see the police drive up. Well, no sooner had that thought had cleared my head, a police cruiser arrived. The end result was two of the fools were allowed to leave, but one was arrested. I will admit that is a little mean-spirited to take joy in someone else's misfortune, but it has been a long time since I have experienced something so soul-satisfying. The previous week I witnessed two of Port Hardy's resident morons sitting at that same bench, smashing bottles on the highway. However, they escaped before the police arrived. I think most people smile, knowing that jerks get what's coming to them. Thank you to the RCMP officers who made my day. Wayne Derksen Port Hardy - --- MAP posted-by: Larry Seguin
