[Western] FW: crane> Fw: SCA vs Riot Police

[K&L]

This is forwarded from another list, but I thought it was worthy of being
passed on.

   of (RCMP) riot police versus the SCA.


   Now THERE's an idea for recruiting fighters ...

   Posted on livejournal.com earlier this month:

   "Okay, you know about http://www.sca.org  the SCA, right? You also
know
   about the the RCMP? Well tonight a friend of mine who heartily
enjoys
fighting
   in the SCA came over after an event they just held with the RCMP. It
turns
   out that for the past few years our local contingent of RCMP have
been
doing
   riot control training with the local SCA contingent as antagonists.
That's right,   they all armour up and beat each other with sticks.
Apparently this is the biggest
   turnout event for the local SCA chapter ever---nothing else draws in
remotely the
   same crowd as the opportunity to kick local cops in the nuts. The
police in turn
   very much appreciate the chance to get beat up a lot by people with
vastly more
   experience in the beating up with sticks department.

   I sincerely believe they ought to sell tickets to this."

   Look ye and be amazed.
