There are some crime stories that really make you think about what is going on in the heads of some people.
Like the terrible person who decided to thrown an egg at another person while in a moving vehicle.
That’s what happened in Nanaimo, according to RCMP in a news release. Normally, I wouldn’t write about a crime that didn’t happen in Burnaby but this one is the type that really makes me despair for the future of our society.
Like I read a news release about it and literally gasped in horror.
The incident happened on Feb. 25 and a man in his 30s was just standing at a bus stop with his friends.
“At one point, a small, dark-coloured vehicle drove past and an object was thrown from a side passenger window,” says a police news release. “It struck the victim in the head and he fell to the ground. Only then did they realize that the object thrown at them was an egg.”
Weeks later, the man still struggles, with limited memory of the incident and he continues to have some “difficultly with his thought process.”
“We believe the person who throw the egg probably didn’t intend to cause injury and may have no idea what actually happened. With that in mind, this individual and those in the vehicle, need to step up, take responsiblity for their actions and call the police,” said Const. Gary O’Brien of the Nanaimo RCMP.
This could be a prank gone wrong, but even if they didn’t intend to injure anyone, it was still a horrible thing to do to anyone.
Here’s hoping police are able to track down this monster and that the victim makes a full recovery.
