🇬🇧BRIT Reacts To THE PIGGY PALACE MASSACRE!

[@louisejohnson6057]

My ex stopped eating pork after this. We lived in BC at the time all of these horrors came to light. He denied that there was any correlation between this story, and him stopping eating pork. And he honestly didn't believe that there was. When I pointed out, a few years later, that anything suspect would long be gone, he slowly started eating pork again. I said nothing.

[@bracejuice7955]

Kabir learning about the piggy palace is really bringing two disparate ends of my internet interests together

[@gordieparenteau6555]

The area where the infamous pig farm once was in Port Coquitlam is now a condo development. There's even a brewery there. Pickton once approached my Mom in a bar in the downtown Eastside. Once her friend showed up, he quietly slinked away into the night.

[@dianecomly6132]

Truly sad that these women's lives were considered low priority.

[@tjo3410]

I'm a Canadian, and former sex worker, and this is a prime example of why stigma and criminalization of sex workers is so dangerous! Every worker is a person, regardless of how she earns money. If not for stigma, this entire thing would never have happened after the first woman went missing.

[@Nissi4061]

If you'd like a deep dive on this story, the Last Podcast on the Left did a 4 episode series on Robert Pickton and it's very good. The entire story is just wild.

[@TheCanadianGuy56]

Also a tad bit of additional information, prostitution is actually legal here, there's extreme laws against rings or pimps, but if someone wants to sell their body we don't really care. I'm kinda glad because I feel it probably prevents some sexual deviants from boiling over, however it is a very dangerous lifestyle.

[@Serenity_Dee]

I can only imagine living in British Columbia at the time and looking at anything containing gelatin with a very suspicious eye to say nothing of all the people who ate some of his sausage

[@radbunnie2297]

Facts!

[@gracebreen427]

That is disgusting. As a criminal Justice major, I’m surprised this is the first time I’ve heard about this.

[@laurataylor8717]

That is beyond horrifying. He tricked people into cannibalism.

[@kelsqi-books4835]

It's really sad how many sex workers get murdered. Idk what the solution is to protect them, but i sure hope someone thinks of something because sex work isn't going away and no one deserves this weird shit. ❤ 💔

[@elizabethescalante7866]

Not so fun fact: A two-part episode of Criminal Minds was based on this!

[@marcnormanmitchell6590]

I had never heard this story….that was one of the more horrific things I have ever heard

[@mildredpierce4506]

If there’s a sudden increase in women disappearing, it should have been looked into a lot sooner and not dismissed. Being a prostitute or drug addict doesn’t make a person less deserving of human kindness.

[@str8legj]

Born and raised in BC. I remember this story well. Just crazy!

[@cs5384]

Woohoo my new favorite KZbinr reacts to my all-time favorite KZbinr!

[@TheRealdal]

I remember when this happened. I live in Seattle area and Vancouver is just a couple hours away. Very sick

Dude really being out of a job is the least of his worries! WOW!

Yesssiiirrrrr

[@danielcavesripfuture9866]

What the Fu.... Ok, can someone get the chair for this guy.

[@Peg__]

Makes me angry when police dismiss or gaslight a woman in the ER. Physical proof that she was violated. Yet, action and a search warrant wasn't issued, until a man came forward with words only. Then, they decided they had reasonable suspicion. 😮‍💨

[@timhefty504]

Oh yeah Kabir, just wanted to let you know that I'm gonna send you some homemade lipstick and gummy bears 😉

[@kabirconsiders]

Send the gummies, keep the lipstick 😂

[@lkayh]

Lack of evidence? If they found bits and pieces of the other twenty, isn’t that enough evidence? There were two or three scripted crime dramas that had episodes based on this-the one in Criminal Minds springs to mind, probably because it was the most spot-on. Damn. I used to like Gummi Bears. Didn’t know they were made of squished critter. UGH.

[@radbunnie2297]

You mean squished human if you were in Canada in that time frame.

[@radbunnie2297]

Yes gelatin and anything made of gelatin is crushed pig bones and other stuff.

[@kingjellybean9795]

Simon whistler does a good in depth take on this on one of his many KZbin channels pretty sure its on casual criminalist

[@diannen4225]

I don't wear lip stick and I am NEVER eating a Gummy Bear again! Ever! You DON'T know what's in ANYTHING unless you make it YOURSELF! 2% Rat is OK in a hot dog? Not for me!

[@charmainechambaud2854]

My cousin Georgina papin was one of the 26 he was charged with but unfortunately ended up being one of the 20 that there wasn’t enough evidence for. We got word he is now eligible to apply for day parole at anytime.

[@claytonkimball7425]

Well, as of a day ago, he was attacked and killed in prison. He finally got what was coming to him

[@Ira88881]

1) The police didn’t investigate or believe this kind of murderous serial killing because that’s the kind of thing that only happens in the states, right? Not CANADA! We’re better than that! Never here! 2) Do you now understand why the death penalty is an appropriate punishment in many instances, Kabir?

[@radbunnie2297]

Actually a lot of horrific crimes happened in Canada 🇨🇦. A lot of serial killer in the 1960s through the 1980s one of their cities was label serial killer capital.

[@Seraphim4190]

The arrogance of the "not CANADA!" mentality is something to behold. Not saying you have that, but a sizable chunk of the Canadian population does, and meanwhile f*cked up shit goes on often enough in precious Canada.

[@TakersSoulGirl22]

​@@radbunnie2297that would be London Ontario. I know because I live there. Not exactly something you would want to be known for

[@TakersSoulGirl22]

You act like horrific crimes don't happen here. They do. We are.not immune to it. Also we do not have the death penalty here anymore because we were worried about the fact that we might convict, sentence, and execute the wrong person. Usually you get 25 to life here (after 25 you go through the parole board)

[@radbunnie2297]

@@TakersSoulGirl22 Oh wow. My mistake

[@IRideABroom]

FYI Did you know Mr. Ballen is a retired Navy Seal? I watched your clip about requirements on how to join the Seals.

[@ramsoncole4605]

A standard handcuff key will open 98% of handcuffs, so that key opening those handcuffs is no big deal, any key would.

[@TakersSoulGirl22]

Dude. I know he has been in jail for a long time but I heard about the victims being in candy i was like "omg i never wanna eat candy again"

[@ellenlanderson]

Rob Gavagan is another great story teller. He gets even more creepy than Mr Ballen.

[@virginialauderdale767]

Mrballen I'm ready let's beat up the like button

[@hannahstevenson27]

Honestly it’s not often I side with law enforcement but if the people going missing are hardcore drug addicts, you gotta assume they took too much and OD’d?. Nobody investigates the deaths of hardcore drug addicts. The police don’t care about them. Sad but true. I know this from personal experience. I’ve lost 3 friends to overdoses.... You call the police and they’re passive. It’s no big loss to them. You call an ambulance and it’s not a priority. Your friend is dying in your arms and it’s NOT a priority. If I was a cop however and these girls all were seen at the same place before they died, drug addicts or not....that’s worth investigating

[@SilvanaDil]

Another well-deserved blemish on Canada.

[@kevinprzy4539]

This was in Canada?

[@benjaminscott8198]

This is why I do not accept meat from neighbors or eat at their house except my in-laws 😂

[@sofyuchiha9]

Its understandable from both sides. Someone going missing regardless of who they are should always be a priority. Sex work is a sin and any women putting themselves in that will always be perverse and wrong, but that doesn't take away any of their worth. However, It can be much harder to keep eyes and search people who aren't well established in society and lot of the times they do end up dropping off the radar. It is very sad.

[@sonyawasmer2344]

Don’t recruit people to a party? Apparently, you haven’t watched the Tom Cruise movie Risky Business 😉 I recommend it!

[@londyngivens]

You should watch jcs criminal psychology they are longer videos maybe you can cut them into parts but the channel is so good!

I have never heard of this before.

[@TheRealdal]

Can you imagine your loved one was fed to pigs or turned into candy and sausage. 😢

Sausage is suspect anyway!!

Welp I'll never eat gummy candy again.

You could say he was caught.. red handed?

[@TheCanadianGuy56]

As a Canadian this and Russell Williams (I'll never use his military title as a sign of disrespect)always put a chill down my spine, I remember hearing about this wayyy back in 2009 I believe? The entirety of the Russell Williams interrogation is on youtube, and if you like watching interrogations it's fantastic, they actually use it for training.

Don't forget Clifford Olson as well.
