VIOLENCE IN CANADA
It was then that the victim ran away and headed for a nearby gas station.
Once there, he grabbed a squeegee to defend himself.
The attacker, hot on the victim's heels, caught up with the man at the gas station and grabbed two squeegees and chased the victim around the area of the gas station, hitting the victim at least once with a squeegee. A bystander noticed the squeegee duel and called police before stepping in to help the victim.

He has a prior conviction for streaking.

I remember that. He was streaking a church, they caught him by the organ.

Squeegee Kids were outlawed in Ontario, Canuckastan years ago.

Somehow the fact that the squeegee duel took place near Wayne Gretzky Drive makes it especially Canadian. We are all so proud.

Next it will be air hoses at ten paces.

Crouching Gambler, hidden squeegee...

"...was charged with two counts of possessing an offensive weapon and robbery."
Offensive weapon, two counts - so the squeegee was stinky AND dirty both?

Is a squeegee duel the new version of "Bumfights"?

We condemn this display of violence as it is demeaning to the civil nature of Canadian society.

Just curious. According to the article the robber started out with a knife. At what point did he throw away the knife and decide that two squeegee's were better weapons? Is there something about squeegees that I've missed?
