They took the money, but they ensist that he didnt ask for anything and just left, we have notified the TLC and now thinking maybe i should call the RCMP out here as well

WE have had this discussion with our kids over and over, but sunday was the worst i think they have heard it from us

Side note. I don't think his color is relevent. And he may have just been friendly an nice.

Why do people always have to go looking for stuff like this?

I read that as a descriptive term used in the same way you would say white, tall, fat, old, asian or purple. As for relevance, the description of the guy who attacked the girl in the school was of someone with black skin.

Now that's just offensive, I think you owe Beemaster an apology. He's given you absolutely no reason to asume that.

Okay WTF!! I dont care the the damn colour of a person is! you come up and give my kids Money, Candy, Toys, or whatever and yea I am going to be concerned, who the hell are you to think just because he was black that i would be more concered? on a sidenote, do you even know what colour i am?

The relevence of his skin colour was due to what happened at a school here in edmonton, where a little girl was sexual assaulted by a black man!

Mark,

Did the guy at your kids' pool match the description, particularly the streaked hair, of the guy at the school?

Such a tragedy.

I heard on the radio this morning, a report of a black male with the same description came into a salon to get a hair dye. Retard. He'll get what's coming to him, and then some.

Nope, he had short hair, almost shaved - My daughter after we showed her the discription of the man from edmonton stated that he also had 2 kids with him, so maybe it was just a nice guy and not a sicko, but still scared the shit out of my wife and me

Its just there are scary things that happen in our world now, and being a parent, you try not to take those chances! then again look what just happened right in a school, thats just plain scary. I personaly wouldn't blame the school, but what do you do?

Scott,

I hope you heard that radio thing correctly. Haven't been hooked into tv or radio all day. If it's true, everyone in Edmonton will sure feel safer for their kids. But then, there's always gonna be more of those monsters out there Like Mark said, you just can't take chances with your children

Watched the news last night and read the paper today. The guy has not been caught yet

All he'd have to do is shave his head or wear a hat of some sort to disguise his streaked hair. He may have even streaked his hair just prior to his crime, then shaved his head or dyed his own hair back to normal so people who know him might not have seen the streaked hair which is his most distinguishing feature.

This guy is smart. He must watched the school for some time to know how and when to get in. He may be miles away from here by now, or he may be scoping out some other facility where there are children
