I've lived in Windsor NS since '97, when we moved here from Vancouver Island. Well, over the last few years, as I've grown up from being a little kid playing cops and robbers, I've come to the conclusion that I'm f**king sick of this town.
We spent 10 years living in an apartment row house across the street from where we live now in the house. Through those 10 years spent in the apartment, I saw it change from being a nice neighborhood where the kids would go out and play all day, and the parents would get together and play washers, to a drug hole. With the rate that people moved in and out of those 12 units (6 in each building) it was inevitable for some amount of druggies to make their ways there, but the last two years we lived in the apartment, the druggies didn't go away, they multiplied.
Fights were a nightly event in our back yards as the crackhead 'a' said the wrong thing to crackhead 'b.' The mounties began showing up more and more often, to the point where it was a surprise when we didn't see a mountie car out back.
As I got older and moved up from elementary school I could see this town for what it really was. The amount of drugs even in middle school was crazy. People were being kicked out of school activities at 10 and 15 at a time for showing up with bags of ecstacy at dances. By the time I was in high school (which I received my diploma for on 3 days ago), I was already starting to get tired of Windsor. Mounties were here everyday for either drugs or someone had to go to the hospital from being beat. This is a school of less that 1000 people. 17 pregnant students at a single point in time this year. Pregnant students being suspended for either drugs or fighting wasn't uncommon either.
After we moved last June to the house across the road from the apartments, the mounties began showing up even more. We can see the back parking lot from every window in our house, and there was a mountie there everyday it seemed. They showed up in numbers of 2 or 3 up to 4, 5 and even 6 times a day. There are three or four neighborhoods through town exactly like this.
Well, today began off normal. Mounties across the street, but around noon time, the RCMP Forensic Identification Service truck pulled up. They were there until the evening accompanied by a couple cruisers.
Just a few minutes after I got home from a Timmies run, I find out why the special truck showed up. Murder. Now, he hasn't died, but he isn't expected to pull through for long.
This tore it. It put me off the edge. I'm just sick of it. I've seen swarms of people beating one person in the middle of the night and day. Had a neighbor on our front step with a knife trying to get to the neighbor on the other side of us because he thought he knocked over a compost bin (it turned out to be the step-son of the one with the knife who knocked them over), and have had shots fired in an apartment dealing with counterfeit money. But this is the first murder.... and this tears it. I'm done. I'm tired of this damn town.
I've heard the names of those involved, and it begs the question: Why can't we run people out of town? Some people can not be around other people without causing problems and violence and spreading drugs, so if not prison.. why can't we run these S.O.Bs out of town?
I watched the mounties bring out a 2x4 that was used by at least 2 people to beat the head of the victim (who although no longer living in these apartments, was the one who came barreling across out front porch 2 years earlier with the knife). I've watched mounties over there everyday, and now today, because these SOBs were not run out of town, I had to see them bring out the weapon used to smash the head of someone.
My piece of advice to anyone out there who could be posted to 14 Wing or somewhere in the Halifax and are looking for a home. Stay away from Windsor. I'm sick of this place, and if you come here to live, you will soon find out why. This is not to say Windsor doesn't have it's pros, because it does. The people who aren't crackheads, are actually quite nice, and that is something I will miss about this town.
To anyone who actually bothered to read through all of that: sorry for the rant, but after watching the mounties across the way today and learning of what took place.... that was the last straw, I had to let off steam and it was either through typing a rant, or a baseball bat through a wall.

Just had an update through the phone. There's a good chance he'll pull through, but he had to have some sort of head or brain surgery done.
