Walkerton: Still Corrupt After All These Years!
Knuckle-dragging Neanderthals and Corrupt Bureaucrats On The Same Team
Remember the Walkerton E. coli outbreak that sickened more than 2000 people and resulted in seven deaths in May of 2000, that was caused by extreme weather and political/bureaucratic corruption and incompetence? Well not much has changed!
Every year the Town of Walkerton, in the Municipality of Brockton, hosts what is called the Pigstock Slo-Pitch Baseball Tournament which is hosted by the Walkerton Dirt Pigs Baseball Club. This event includes the annual Slo-Pitch Baseball Tournament, a Saturday night Dance, Saturday/Sunday breakfast, beer gardens, children's programs, and food served all day. This year the event took place from August 15th to 18th.
Most of the tournament participants stay at the Lobies Municipal Park Campground which is situated within the Walkerton town limits. This year, as every year, some of the participants who represent the lowest cretins in our society come to party and threaten and disturb the lives of campers and citizens alike. Two groups of these knuckle-dragging Neanderthals had sound systems so powerful they could be heard for miles. As well, the drunkenness, hooting and hollering was unbelievable and never stopped.
For example: these sound systems thumped endlessly for 16 hours from 1:00 pm Friday to 5:00 am Saturday. Regular campers including seniors, families with small children (some with epileptic conditions), people with sensitive pets, and people with health issues suffered through this and could not get any sleep. As a result, people received migraine headaches and developed other health conditions. Dogs became agitated and their hearing was severely affected.
At 1:30 am Saturday, a noise disturbance was reported to the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) central dispatch (London, ON) and the local OPP South Bruce Detachment (Walkerton) was supposed to respond. However, the police pulled a “no show” and the party and noise continued until 5am, Saturday morning. It was pure, unmitigated torture for the regular campers.
There were two security guards at the campground who tried to quiet down the “loud crowd” that night but they didn’t care and they just ignored the guards. The guards gave up and left at 3:00 am. The guards stated that this happens every year with the same bunch of lawless thugs and the park administration and police do nothing about it. Interesting!
Well, it appears that the Town of Walkerton makes a ton of money from this event so they turn a blind eye to the goings on. And, strangely, so does the local OPP detachment. Also, we are told that Brad Thomson, Facilities and Park Coordinator for The Municipality of Brockton, is “best buds” with the lawless thugs so the corruption in Walkerton never ends. Well if it is good for the Walkerton budget who cares about the citizens, right? At least nobody died this time. However, we heard the police were investigating a criminal matter. Hmmm?
After, the tournament participants left the campground it looked like a middle east war zone. Gargage and debris were strewn everywhere; fires were left burning; and the air was full of smoke. The regular campers were left tramatized and an epileptic child went into seizures.
This is criminal! Where is the rule of law and why is it not enforced.
And furthermore, what has happened to this generation of 20 and 30 somethings that they have no disregard for anyone but themselves? So much disrespect! So much lawlessness!
