Luke Skywalker Testifies Against Convicted New Age Serial Hugger at Human Rights Tribunal

Only in Canada, only at a Human Rights Commission

Caeleigh testified that, after she had any kind of disagreement with Petres, "he would hug her to dispel negative energy."

Did Luke lie under oath? "Skywalker told Humphreys he was never hugged by Petres, although Petres testified that he did hug Skywalker once or twice."

Luke Skywalker? You know, someone should put together a collection of "human rights" cases in this country and make it into a book for the humor section.

On another note, according to Skywalker, the serial hugger "kept an energy machine in his home." I do, too, but I call mine a coffee maker. I have no imagination. ;)

After reading only the headline, brain immediately outputted "BC Nutter Alert".

Great minds think alike.

Really, BCF, if you're going to start making up posts, you could at least try to invent some plausible names. No-one is going to believe this one.

Now give me a big hug! My lawyer is waiting around the corner with a camera!

simus, what do ya mean? Don't you believe in Rolfology, Magic Crystals and Veganism?

Actually, for some reason I'm not aware of, "huggism" was big thing a couple of years ago here in Vancouver with the Chinese community.

For about a month back then, there would be random breakouts with gaggles of Chinese girls offering to give everyone free hugs at Skytrain stations.

Suspend disbelief. It was pretty cool and totally positive.

What fekking moron names their daughter Algebra ?

Aja should have "Calculus" as a first name. The plaintiffs then would be Algebra and Calculus.

This is one of those cases that doesn't bother me too much. If some new age weirdo boss wants to impose their hugs on someone, I think they're entitled to a few grand as compensation.

If the Jedi is telling the truth, and it's very likely he is, then Mr. New Age was really coping a cheap feel. And even if he isn't, who wants some crystal wearing freak giving you hugs as part of your work?

But what's missing from all this is how the hell did that kid end up with the legal name Luke Skywalker!? Were the parents big Star Wars fans or did he change it himself. When those cops beat the crap out of that Adam Nobody guy during the G20, can you imagine the reaction a guy is going to get being pulled over, asked what his name is, and having to respond "Luke Skywalker"?

I just find it ironic that our new age human rights cudgel is being used against a new age flake.

Luke Skywalker may be a practicing Jedi which tells me the force is weak within him if indeed he did lie under oath.

This is what happens when you close all the psyciatric hospitals and turn the people out to fend for themselves. They drift out to Victoria from back east so they can live outside all year round.

When that boat of Tamil Tigers landed last summer, a closed floor of Victoria General Hospital was suddenly opened up and staffed in case the Tamils needed medical care. Some people suggested we should put all the crazies living rough on Pandora street onto a boat and float it into the harbour in the hope that the government would see fit to open a floor of the hospital to care for them, too.

That could work Melykin;) Maybe send the NDP Caucus on a cruise;)

Hands off the employees, hands off the employees, hands off the employees. Pretty simple.

The sand people here have some kind of tribal half hug they give when greeting. Me, I'd rather sleep with a wombat than let 'em touch me. My 9mm is all the human rights I need.

Drugs are bad.
That is all.

Blazing Cat Fur  – (11:18 PM)  

Bad for the whole family.

I think it's nice that Algebra and Luke Skywalker found each other in this crazy world full of people with relatively normal human-type names.

Blazing Cat Fur  – (12:33 AM)  

I doubt Luke is being ironic.

Revnant Dream  – (3:34 AM)  

The Force was not with him.
The CHRC where though unfortunately.
The Dark side never rests.

F*ck me.

Luke Skywalker? Algebra? Reiki practitioner?

The 'roo court was too hasty in their decision. We need to hear from more "stakeholders".

We haven't heard from Chewbacca, Princess Leia, Darth Vader, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Gauss, Newton, Archimedes, or the Leon furniture salesman who sold the practitioner his Reiki.
