The end of April is usually a happy week for Saskatchewan residents. The harsh, apocalyptic conditions of prairie winter are finally giving way to some semblance of spring, … actually, that in itself is enough for people to rejoice. Winter there is terrible. A professor of mine once explained that Saskatchewan’s climate is remarkably similar to that of Siberia, which is where the Soviet Russian dictatorship built its worst gulags.
But that normally joyous time was marred for one unnamed man by Big Brother getting his long, law-enforcing arms into Johnny Anonymous’ business. This was especially heinous of Big Brother because the Johnny Anonymous in question is an armless man. Great going, Big Brother, you fucking dick.
Saskatoon police ticketed an unnamed armless man for driving without wearing a seatbelt, despite the fact that he can’t put a seatbelt on himself. The man is clearly no Michael Francis Wiley, and he has a car modified to allow him to drive with his feet. That is evidently not enough for the SPD, those heartless bastards.
This is one of those times that just fills a citizen with pride. The cogs of the machine are working to the best of their ability, stamping out deplorable crimes and working with the people rather than against them. God speed, law enforcement.
