My suspicion is that he really only rode down the escalator, past the checkouts, and left the store through the ground level doors, like in a fairly short and straight line, he wasn't cruising down the aisles in the merchandise part of the store or anything.
Not that that's any excuse for his still rather dangerous actions.
I was initially cheering him on for his daredevil badassery until I saw how close he came to hitting children at 1:54. The kids saved themselves by moving aside on time. He definitely would have squashed the one in blue had the kid not dodged.
Yeah.. all things considered he's going pretty slow if security's able to chase after him at the same speed, but it definitely could've caused some serious injuries if not death. But then again if you're riding your motorcycle through a Wal Mart, safety for others probably isn't the first thing on your mind.
There's some very Canadian police work going on here.
I like how, "blowing through the stop signs, not even tapping his breaks" is relevant at this point. Also, mentioning that driving a motorcycle through a mall and a Walmart is also and arrestable offense...
He was making good use of terrain unavailable to police cars. Really he'd just need to ride long enough to exhaust the helo. Tiny police helos don't have fuel capacity to stay in the air too long and would be required to come back in way before they run out of fuel for the safety of the crew.
Some neighbourhoods have dollops of dog shit covering every surface and the entire area reeks of shit. It's unbelievable that people can tolerate the smell but they love their furry shit factories and can't be bothered to clean up after them.
Surrey does look pretty cool. I've only visited Victoria (love) and Vancouver (too big for me).. and I don't think I've ever seen a city's population quadruple in 30 years. I might check it out if I'm up there again.
The neighborhood I grew up in down in Portland was (probably is) still like that. It used to be more lower-middle-class but then all of a sudden it was hip so it's probably upper middle class and I swear everybody has 3 dogs. There's this nice dividing grass path that went all the way to my school that we used to walk on, and I was over there the other week and now it's just where everybody lets their dogs shit. There are scooping laws but I don't they apply, or at least the owners don't think it applies to them, since it's not on somebody's lawn. And I think the city's just given up on it.
I grew up in one of the poorest areas of Surrey. Forget the dog shit; it had actual dogs (usually completely untrained rottweiler and german shepherds) running free as the wind. Scary shit for a six-year-old, let me tell you.
