VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) -- A pig farmer, who if convicted could become Canada's most notorious serial killer, was charged Wednesday with 12 new counts of first-degree murder. The new charges come on top of the 15 charges Robert Pickton already faces in the disappearance of more than 60 women, mainly prostitutes who vanished from the seedy Downtown Eastside neighborhood of Vancouver. The remains of at least 31 women were found at Pickton's farm about 15 miles (25 kilometers) from the heart of Vancouver. The 55-year-old single man lived with his brother and sister on the farm left to them by their parents.

Pickton Farms: We put the Canadian in Canadian Bacon.

or

Pickton Farms: We pick only the finest Canadians for our Canadian bacon.

[ShasheMac]

Yes, more than 60 women dead, what a funny premise to make jokes about.

[shamusotoole]

He had issues.

[kenth]

That first one is a killer... lol.

[vbmoneyspender]

Did they call him Bricktop?

[NavVet]

I'm surprised PETA hasn't weighed in. I hear the guy is responsible for the deaths of thousands of innocent pigs.

[Publius6961]

Serious question: is it true pigs will eat anything?

How did they identify the 31 different individual persons whose remains were found?

[MarineBrat]

God, please bring peace to the families of these victims!

[eastforker]

Yes, pigs are omnivorous.

[HuntsvilleTxVeteran]

In the article it states, one woman was missing for eight years.
I wonder how long ago was the first murder.

[Constitution Day]

Serious question: is it true pigs will eat anything?

Yes, just ask Mr. Wu.

[ozzymandus]

Don't worry, there are plenty of prostitutes left.

[Brian Mosely]

Johnny, tell Wu he' s got competition in the disposal business...

[Ignatz]

Yes, pigs will eat just about anything, including human flesh.

[Constitution Day]

SWEARJIN!

[Leg Olam]

Yep, pigs will eat anything. In fact it's most common in Arkansas to explain the dissappearance of a wife or inlaw by stating, 'she went out to relieve herself last night, lost her balance on the fence and the pigs ate her.'

[Yo-Yo]

My Father-In-Law always said the best way to dispose of a body was to feed it to pigs. (Then he'd look at me with a strange glint in his eye...)

[muawiyah]

Makes me wonder how Rev. Horsley would put that?! (ROTFLMAO)

Actually, we have to contrast this sort of thing with the penny-ante sort of thing the Dems keep coming up with about Tom DeLay.

Ol' Tom doesn't hold a candle to this guy when it comes to REAL CRIME!

The Dems should just leave Tom alone and go on about their business. Or, maybe some of them ought to fly up to Vancouver to pay their last respects to some of their former girlfriends.

[blueblazes]

I saw a special on this case a couple of months okay. Apparently the Canadian police resolutely IGNORED ALL LEADS on this case especially leads to this guy who apparently has cop friends. They even went so far as to fire their expert on serial killers. This is a big black eye to the Canadians. They just didn't give a damn about these women. I think they started to freak out when they realized that he had been giving his "pork" products out as gifts. Yech.

[SkyDancer]

Hey, you saw Snatch too? Great movie.

[Brian Mosely]

And I won't even mention the only other English word Wu knows...

After Sunday night's episode, the pigs must be well fed.

[Constitution Day]

Ain't that the truth.

Now I am all ready for The Sopranos to come back on.

[vbmoneyspender]

Brick Top: "You're always gonna have problems lifting a body in one piece. Apparently, the best thing to do is cut up the corpse into six pieces and pile it all together."

Sol: "Would someone mind telling me, who are you?"

Brick Top: "And when you got your six pieces, you gotta get rid of them. Cause it's no good leaving it in the deep freezer for your mum to discover. Now, is it? Then I hear the best thing to do is feed them to pigs. You gotta starve the pigs for a few days, then the site of a chopped-up body would look like curry to a pisshead. You gotta shave the heads of your victems and pull the teeth out for the sake of the piggies digestion. You could do this afterwards, of course, but you don't want to go sifting through pigshit, now do you? They will go through bone like butter. You need at least 16 pigs to finish the job in one sitting, so be warry of any man who keeps a pig farm. They will go through a body that weighs 200 pounds in about eight minutes. That means that a single pig can consume two pounds of uncooked flesh every minute. Hence the expression "as greedy as a pig"."

"How did they identify the 31 different individual persons whose remains were found?"

DNA. Fingernails, hair, etc.

[printhead]

It takes all kinds of critters to make Farmer Vincents' fritters.

[woofie]

This bacon tastes like chicken

[Millee]

eeeewwww..reminds me of a old corny movie called "Motel Hell" staring Rory Calhoun and the "lady" coach from Porky's.

Too bad Canada doesn't have the death penalty.

A similar story in Laporte, IN. Years Ago.

Pickton Farms: We put the Canadian in Canadian Bacon.

Oh man, that was funny!

[Rembrandt_fan]

You're doing Canadian bacon jokes? Oh, that's just great. Most--if not all--of the victims may have been prostitutes, but they had lives and hopes and dreams and families who loved them. You make light of genuine evil and trivialize genuine loss. Go stand by a fire and thaw out that thing you call a heart.

[68 grunt]

Pickton Farms: We put the Canadian in Canadian Bacon.

Oh fan, that was funny! LMAO!

[b4its2late]

Unbelievable.

I guess he was practicing what he thought was urban renewal.

[SkyDancer]

yup, you seen it ....

[tumblindice]

Some one squealed.

[blackdog]

Fantastic movie. Right up there with two smoking barrels.

European nations should disband their military and police forces and just give the soccer hooligans a run at things a while. They seem to have a real "can do" sort of attitude, and they certainly wouldn't put up with that Islam sheite.

[tiamat]

Oh YUCK!

[SolidRedState]

The slop tastes a little funny today.

[metesky]

I worked on a farm when I was a kid and had to slop the pigs. The first thing I was told was, "Don't fall down."

[Rembrandt_fan]

Ever known a murder victim, or imagine how horrible and agonizing their last moments on earth must've been? Maybe laughter is one way to deal with inexplicable tragedy--the Challenger jokes that emerged after that disaster come to mind--but I don't sense any of that kind of coping going on here. I see people having a cheap laugh at the expense of row upon row of women lying violently dead before their time. A little compassion and empathy--even a little--would be worlds better than this kind of thing.

[SkyDancer]

The reason Jewish humor is so good is that they make fun of their plight .....

[ADisciple]

You're sick. Seek help please.

[Fido969]

Did an assault weapon figure into any of these murders?

[lilylangtree]

Didn't know that pigs ate human flesh. Disgusting! My sympathies go out to the victims families.

[Gandalf_The_Gray]

Some one squealed.

Now that's funny!

[68 grunt]

Ever known a murder victim, or imagine how horrible and agonizing their last moments on earth must've been? ...

More than you could ever imagine ...

I respectfully request you lighten up.

[Rembrandt_fan]

Two different things. Besides, none of the victims in this instance survived. Hard to crack witty one-liners from a shallow barnyard grave.

[ahayes]

I guess you'll earn the right to laugh about it when some serial killer murders you and chops you up for the pigs, then.

[SkyDancer]

No, what I was alluding to was the jokes that follow disasters. It's a way of relief for the survivors. I'm not sure you understand the philosophy behind that.

[Flyer]

A pig farmer, who if convicted could become Canada's most notorious serial killer, was charged Wednesday with 12 new counts of first-degree murder.

Sigh. . . and we thought rock and roll would rot the mind.

[ahayes]

Oh, so you or someone close to you survived attempted murder at the hands of a serial killer?

Perhaps you should go crack some jokes on this thread to relieve your sorrow: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1411085/posts
