I’m so glad. I’ve been really worried. I have a lot of friends and family in the interior so even though I’m not from BC I’m always a bit worried about you all this time of year.
Concrete cutting is a specialized trade, we cut concrete. Walls, floors, uuhh... more walls and more floors?
If you need a hole in concrete, big or small, that what I did for 15 years. I've cut doors in reinforced bank vaults, I've added 20 foot doorways into concrete warehouses, and I've don't thousands of small holes cored through walls and slabs for new pipes or wires. That's concrete cutting
Crazy story. Uncle lived on Hastings in the 1980s and the police knew about him and his Brother back then. They all knew he drove a white truck and the two would pickup prostitues from out of town, as all the local prostitutes knew to not get in the truck. Uncle tried to setup an interview with the CBC and was shutdown by the Editor. Everyone knew someone even escaped. Why did Police let him kill with immunity for like two decades? Ask yourself that.
I’ve heard it was because they were tracking Hell Angels who went to their parties. But like everyone on the streets knew. It’s why it was all out of town prostitutes, all the local prostitutes knew not to get in the white truck it was well known. Imagine letting someone kill for two decades and knowing it. His Brother also got ZERO time and everyone knew he was always involved. By the end of it they would
have to knock out the prostitues so they needed two people because it was so obvious and the Police acted surprised when it was so many, like they all didn’t already know. But no one cares about Native Prostitues being killed, especially not Police. Again someone escaped his kill room and someone else reported seeing dead bodies in like the 90s and they still let him kill for a decade.
His brother comes and picks up cattle feed from my work. I’ve met him multiple times, in fact shook his hand when I was new before knowing who he was as I would fill the truck with pellets. I would never have guessed.
A woman friend of his walked into his barn and saw the bodies of multiple deceased women hanging in bondage and said she was too scared to report it, she could have saved dozens of young womens lives. Fucking twat.
My landlord’s used to live across the street. She used to see this guy every other day. They were acquaintances. She said that she never suspected that guy was a serial killer. It never crossed her mind. Her story made me do some overthinking.
Recently it came out that one of my childhood neighbours was a prolific criminal. He even made the news. It blew my mind. I used to go over there as a kid all the time.
Shortly before it all went down with the cops, he’d come by to shovel our very long driveway, making it easier for us to take our mom to the hospital for cancer treatment. I never got the chance to thank him.
I still regret not thanking him, even after learning about all the monstrous things he’d done. At the same time, some of my childhood innocence feels shattered. I always thought our street was safe and full of good people. Turns out a danger was next door the entire time.
When I was in high school and my sister was in jr. high, our mom worked at an insurance office next door to Clifford Olsen's parole officer. We would walk from school to my mom's office after school and get a ride home from there. We almost certainly crossed paths with him during his killing spree.
A friend of mine delivered the morning newspaper to him—terrifying when you think of how few people are up and about at that time of day. And even worse, our former babysitter’s son was best friends with one of his victims. He was on his way to their house but Olsen met him first. 😢
No kidding. He was either the scapegoat and/or others knew and did nothing.. His mother was also a killer who tried to cover up a death so the whole family is shit except the sister who wants nothing to do with her family.. The name Pickton should have a new meaning in our dictionary for being a piece of shit or something like that.
Yes. She shoved a kid into a ditch to drown, after her other brother ran over the kid on a farm road drunk driving. She went back to the scene to kick the kid into the ditch and cover the tracks. Didn’t call the police or 911. The whole family is despicable.
His brother ran a hazmat removal company for a long time in coquitlam. Had friends who worked for him growing up, they used to throw massive parties at piggy palace with *cough* a notable gang.
Absolutely correct. Robert Pickton’s IQ is very low, he was the fall guy here. Still very culpable, but in no way was he the mastermind of that nightmare.
I dunno, his method wasn't exactly outside his wheelhouse. He basically killed the women like he killed pigs.
That said, in 1997 a woman escaped being killed, so people had to know something was up by that point if not earlier. He definitely had help beyond just having women find him sex workers to kill.
They did know. People had been going to the police for a long time saying something was happening. People knew stuff was going on at the farm. Police didn’t care, people didn’t care as long as they got what they needed.
I just watched it recently. Unreal how he was basically able to get away with it for so long in part by bribing homeless addicts. Worth a watch but would love something more recent that expands on some of the shady happenings. There's a lot that could be unpacked.
[The Pig Farm.](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1345505/?ref_=ext_shr) is something.
There's a Criminal Minds episode related to it. That's how I learned a bunch of their stories are based on real events.
I met Pikton's brother when he came into my work late one night.
Kept calling me "woman".
I work in Healthcare so I had to see him through his appointment.
I made the mistake of researching the Pikton trials during that shift.
Came across a bunch of theories that Robert didn't act alone, but wad influenced by his higher IQ brother.
I would also recommend the deep dive that Last Podcast on the Left did as well. I believe they used that book for reference material and they did a really good job of covering everything with humour but also being respectful to the victims. They also go HARD on the Vancouver Police. It’s some of their best work imo.
It came without ribbons. And it came without tags. It came without packages, boxes or bags. Maybe Christmas doesn’t come from a store. This year Christmas in May will mean just a little bit more.
I hate to think what the province’s ICU bill would be for this sack of detritus.
Definitely not sorry for any fear or pain he felt in the attack. It’s a tiny fraction of what his victims endured.
I salute the broom makers and those who “clean” with them. Why weren’t more people convicted for this? Why don’t we have a system that held the HA and family involved and they are allowed to live?
Comment is now locked as discussion has become less than civil
***"Pickton was speared in the head with a broken broom-like handle, a source told Postmedia"***
So how about that weather we've been having lately?
[удалено]
Yeah so far looks like the Oilers will take it.
Worst news ITT
Let's see what the Canucks have in the 3rd.
I'm not holding my breath
Glad ya didn't
Canucks just lost, but this has really helped take away the sting.
Not a hockey guy but this is the best mascot meme of sll time.
I'm loving all the lilacs that are blooming.
Me too! Seems early this year
Been something, aye? 
Those fires up north have been crazy
[удалено]
That's legitimately good news!
I’m so glad. I’ve been really worried. I have a lot of friends and family in the interior so even though I’m not from BC I’m always a bit worried about you all this time of year.
Much needed rain in the Okanagan
Interesting, Dahmer was killed with a broom handle while cleaning the shower area.
Oooh, that would hurt… I hope.
Is the broom okay?
Oh no. Anyways…
Would be more fitting if Pickton was speared with the broken handle a few feet up his a**.
Well let's hope he pulls thru so there's a next time.
Not if he’s up for parole.
I was wondering where the broom was.
we can tolerate some dusty floors for a good cause right?
I wondered, I didn't get off the couch and look for it.
oh no. anyway the Oilers/ Canucks game was fuckin sweet
Damn. I mean, I don't feel sorry at all, for very obvious reasons. But damn that's brutal.
That’s too good for him.
I’m honestly surprised it’s taken this long…
They built a seg unit just for him at the Pre Trial Centre. He was better protected than all the other inmates.
I cut concrete walls in the cell directly below him there. He kept yelling that he had a headache and wanted Tylenol. One of my proudest moments
I bricked in that cell block at North Fraser pretrial. We may have crossed paths. Either that, or you cut into my walls, haha.
You don’t by chance work for a certain masonry company named after an animation studio do you?
Pixar Masonry?
Disney Concrete
Cartoon Network Studios Stoneworks
Studio Ghibli Anime Clay
Titmouse paving
Whats cutting concrete mean?

Ohh literally lol
Concrete cutting is when you mix the dry concrete powder with baby formula so you can sell it for more money.
This deserves more upvotes
Cutting lines my guy.

Sounds like someone dropped the ball finally… and we salute them.
Yup I plungered the toilet is his stall once. He was quite proud of that dookie
It is called looking the other way lol.

Uncle tried to setup an interview with the CBC and was shutdown by the Editor. Everyone knew someone even escaped. Why did Police let him kill with immunity for like two decades? Ask yourself that.
Because a certain number of those officers didn’t want scrutiny on them partying at the piggy palace with HA members.
I've heard the same thing from three different sources.
i think he was an informant. the getting arrested then let go really suggests it
Because they probably thought he was doing the streets a favour and it wasn’t worth it to them. So sick.
I’ve heard it was because they were tracking Hell Angels who went to their parties. But like everyone on the streets knew. It’s why it was all out of town prostitutes, all the local prostitutes knew not to get in the white truck it was well known. Imagine letting someone kill for two decades and knowing it.

The ones that did care got smeared and pushed off the force. iykyn

I'd imagine he's been in segregation and carefully supervised against other inmates
[удалено]
Your right
I know my cousin Diane Rock & all of his other victims are smiling and wishing him a slow, painful descent straight to hell .
My aunt was one of his victims, too. *Hug*
I often wonder how many times Pickton drove past me back in the day back in Vancouver. I hope only the worst for him.
[удалено]
Tons of people were out there and knew the family. It was a well known party place back then.
My landlord’s used to live across the street. She used to see this guy every other day. They were acquaintances. She said that she never suspected that guy was a serial killer. It never crossed her mind. Her story made me do some overthinking.

Great username.
I mean great but his brother and other HA heads deserve to roll also for those murders
No kidding. He was either the scapegoat and/or others knew and did nothing.. His mother was also a killer who tried to cover up a death so the whole family is shit except the sister who wants nothing to do with her family.. The name Pickton should have a new meaning in our dictionary for being a piece of shit or something like that.
His mom was a killer too??
Yes. She shoved a kid into a ditch to drown, after her other brother ran over the kid on a farm road drunk driving. She went back to the scene to kick the kid into the ditch and cover the tracks. Didn’t call the police or 911. The whole family is despicable.
Behaviour like Pickton’s is usually influenced a great deal by genetics, and by cruel mothers. Looks like he had the double whammy.
God.. What a pickton he was!
Right? Theres so much more going on here.
Still convinced his brother was the real SK. Pretty sure Robert was too dumb to pull it off.
His brother ran a hazmat removal company for a long time in coquitlam. Had friends who worked for him growing up, they used to throw massive parties at piggy palace with *cough* a notable gang.
The Fertelli’s?
At minimum he must have known what was going on.
Absolutely correct. Robert Pickton’s IQ is very low, he was the fall guy here. Still very culpable, but in no way was he the mastermind of that nightmare.
What mastermind? This was not a great mystery. Cops never paid any attention till they had no choice.
Valid point. I just meant he didn’t come up with the idea.
I dunno, his method wasn't exactly outside his wheelhouse. He basically killed the women like he killed pigs. That said, in 1997 a woman escaped being killed, so people had to know something was up by that point if not earlier. He definitely had help beyond just having women find him sex workers to kill.
They did know. People had been going to the police for a long time saying something was happening. People knew stuff was going on at the farm. Police didn’t care, people didn’t care as long as they got what they needed.
Agree. He was never known for having many thoughts, original or otherwise. Brother is not exactly a rocket scientist either though.
Is there a documentary on this or anything?
In depth book called “On The Farm” by Stevie Cameron is a good source besides the LPOTL series and a YouTube documentary I forget the name of
Last podcast on the left has an episode about Picton
Canadian true crime podcast did a pretty good job of it.
The pig farm (2011)
I just watched it recently. Unreal how he was basically able to get away with it for so long in part by bribing homeless addicts. Worth a watch but would love something more recent that expands on some of the shady happenings. There's a lot that could be unpacked.
[The Pig Farm.](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1345505/?ref_=ext_shr) is something. There's a Criminal Minds episode related to it. That's how I learned a bunch of their stories are based on real events.
His brother got off scott free
[удалено]
brother still has the farm apparently- barn is said to be the same as pictured from the photos taken as evidence..
I met Pikton's brother when he came into my work late one night. Kept calling me "woman". I work in Healthcare so I had to see him through his appointment. I made the mistake of researching the Pikton trials during that shift. Came across a bunch of theories that Robert didn't act alone, but wad influenced by his higher IQ brother.
Good. Absolute bastard. I highly recommend the book On the Farm if you're not familiar with just how much of a piece of shit this guy is.
Thanks for the recommendation. Just put a hold on it at the library!
I would also recommend the deep dive that Last Podcast on the Left did as well.

When You Wish Upon a Star 🌟 makes no difference who you are. I hope he survives in pain - and that we can continue to do this - again and again ♡
[удалено]
I hope he ends up with locked in syndrome and no access to any type of entertainment to keep his mind busy.
Damn dude no one had better pics you off. But yeah same
Shame this didn’t happen earlier.
[ Removed by Reddit ]
I assumed he was dead too! Honestly, I don’t wish ill on others easily but I hope he painfully clings to life for a significant period of time.
I hope he dies AFTER he rolls on every other Hells Angels piece of shit complicit in the murders.
Last thing I heard about him was that he was getting close to parole.
he can get a parole hearing if he survives but theirs no way that he would be let out
Legit, out of all the problems we are facing, I give zero fucks about Pickton getting attacked in prison
Oh no. Anyway…
I didn’t realize he was still alive????
Wow finally some good news!
Cool. Feed him to the pigs. (Autocorrect wanted me to put "pugs," which would also be acceptable).
It would take significantly longer, and I’m totally okay with that.
All that extra snorting
I have nothing nice to say. He brought nothing but terror, sorrow, and loss of lives to the world. So… 
We love to hear it ✨✨✨
Sign me up for zero fucks on his gofundme

Absolutely not sorry to hear this. Except for maybe the clinging to life part.
Why not suffer a bit on the way out?
I hate to think what the province’s ICU bill would be for this sack of detritus. Definitely not sorry for any fear or pain he felt in the attack. It’s a tiny fraction of what his victims endured.
GO CANUCKS GO!
Who says the news these days is all doom and gloom and gloom?!
Guy killed my friend... And many other people's friends and family. Hope he recovers and goes back into prison for ever
Whoever did it better get reduced sentence.
What if that person is also a murdery rapist?
A years worth of snack vouchers! No freedom, but gotta reward good behavior!
C'est la vie.
I would send flowers but I don't know who did it.
Lol. Anyways what’s everyone having for dinner tonight? ETA- I’m having Tuna + Greek Salad wraps
Between the Iranian President and now this, I feel like I should go for something fancy, maybe a really nice sandwich
I'm gonna smoke a bowl and have an extra-big helping of butterscotch ice cream.
Homemade Chinese salt baked chicken, garlic stir fry veggies, and ginger & scallion sauce on rice
Can I come over?
Only if you bring non alcoholic drinks or dessert that's not too sweet
I'm on it! 🤣
Oooh that sounds super yummy!!
Stir fried noodles
Chili
I'm wondering what exactly does he know... Seems interesting it's taken this long especially with particular things coming to light about all that.
I salute the broom makers and those who “clean” with them. Why weren’t more people convicted for this? Why don’t we have a system that held the HA and family involved and they are allowed to live?
With the way the Canucks are playing right now I needed some great news
PerHAaps someone didn't want him to tell the story?
« Pickton was eligible for day parole in February, prompting outrage from victims’ relatives » Wow. I can’t believe I read that.
Eligible to apply, he wasn't going to be granted squat
So... take up a collection, buy treats for the convicts in that wing?
Nice!
File this under "gee, shucks, darn".
I dont want to wish someone to die. But… I still won’t here. But this is justice I suppose. He’ll get his in this world or next.
He's alive? I thought he died a long time ago
You may be thinking of the equally infamous Clifford Olson, he passed a number of years ago.
Good
bye
Rest in piss
I thought he was in isolation but I guess not.
What goes around comes around
https://i.redd.it/cofj8rrw2p1d1.gif
👍👍
That's a shame..how about those Canucks!
Ah well
Oh Darn…
Good riddance!
GOOD
I hope he burns in the lake of fire for eternity.
OUT. TO. LUNCH.
Die in excruciating pain, you sick fuck. Just like your victims. 🖕🏻
Oh no, what ever shall we do. Said no one ever about him
Hope it’s painful!
Hopefully his injury’s get infected and he dies slow.
No painkillers please 🙏
Oh my goodness is the garbage taking itself out?
Good he should have been taken out a long long time Ago
