oh just another intoxicated human who was most likely driving home from the bar on the corner of west 1st and semisch ave in north vancouver. we dont beleev those people that serve alcohol there limit the amount of alcohol people consume. the amount of alcohol related problems that place is responsible for is overwhelming and we wish that place will be shut down soon. in fact, most likely all the crimes in north vancouver stem from that one bar. missing people too.
