Gay Vancouver Couple Attacked, Bitten by Thugs

A Vancouver couple who returned home on Saturday night were attacked by two men they found urinating against their townhouse. The Province reports:

"Two thugs viciously assaulted David Holtzman and his partner, Peter Regier, as they tried to enter their townhouse on Keefer Street at around 10:45 p.m. 'We were out at a concert and came home and found two guys on our steps peeing against the wall,' Holtzman told The Province. 'I said, ‘Do you really have to pee there?’' The man replied with extremely vulgar, anti-gay invective, he said. Holtzman said he and Regier were attacked without provocation. He received about 50 punches to his head and body and was twice bitten by his attacker. He still had blurry vision in one eye Sunday, but an eye doctor has told him he likely will recover. Both Holtzman and Regier suffered concussions, with Regier beaten so viciously he was taken to hospital, where surgical staples were put in his head to close a wound."

Although there was a UFC fight going on in the area, police say there appears to be no connection between it and the couple's attackers, thought they will continue to look into it.

1 Samuel 25:2-35
"There was a man in Maon, whose possessions were in Carmel; and the man was very great. ... The name of the man was Nabal; and the name of his wife Abigail."
David and his band of outlaws tell Nabal to give David everything he has. He refuses, saying that he doesn't even know who David is. David responds by promising to kill everyone in Nabal's household that pisses against the wall. But Abigail went to David and paid him off, so David decided not to kill all of Nabal an all of his wall pissers. 25:2-35

1. I wonder
I have a solar powered electric fence capacitor that delivers quite a blast. It registers with a voltage tester stuck in the ground anywhere on my property. I'd put up a cute little sign that says "pee here you fugly manbitch!"

And then wait for that sweet music of sirens. Good thing I don't live in that townhouse - only thing I'd be doing with a bible is knocking their nuts into a new color.

3. trust me it does give a jolt
a commercial electric fence gives you a good old fashioned shthunck when you touch it with your fingers. Garden fences (much lighter, 75 watts) still give a good hard SZZZNAP on each discharge. To add my own Darwin award attempt, my sibs and I once had a competition to outdo each other by seeing who could stand to pee the longest on an electric fence in Germany.

Note I said "once" - electric fences pulse - they're not always on. None of us made it past the first jolt - so I'm pretty sure it would be a pretty good deterrent for some loutish dude biter with a full bladder. That or a garden spade.

8. You need to complete the circuit.
A metal plate on the wall touching another metal plate on the ground while the 'pisser' was standing barefoot..... but who the hells going to piss on their own bare feet? Beside Mythbusters, that is!
