This was in the paper...it was what I was watching out my window the other night...I am not sure I believe it is NOT related to other assaults just because nothing else happened THAT night. That is not a convincing argument, is it? There was a robbery/stabbing a couple days previous at the Howard Johnson...just how many people are running around stabbing people in this town, anyway? Oh, the RCMP seem so lazy here. I hope they aren't reading this....

A 22-year-old Nanaimo man is in hospital with a lacerated liver after he was chased, robbed and stabbed twice by a group of male attackers early Monday morning, said Nanaimo RCMP.
At approximately 2 a.m., in the 100 block of Victoria Road, the victim was thrown to the ground, robbed of his wallet and stabbed in the stomach.
A passing motorist came to the victim's assistance and he was later treated at Nanaimo General Regional Hospital.
RCMP spokeswoman Const. Jen Allan said there is no indication the group is part of a gang.
"These males didn't appear to commit any other crimes that night," she said. "There's no indication that this incident has any relationship to other assaults."
Allan said descriptions of the suspects will not be made available to the public.
Anyone with information about the incident can call Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-TIPS.

It is so, so, so sad that people are running around killing each other and for what? Those in charge of stopping it seem to tired to care.
Please don't ever give up on your neighbourhood.
They want info, but won't release descriptions of the suspects to the public...is this the punch line from a joke? You'd think the RCMP would be having a communal blush at the wording of that article!
