Mr. Spencer,
I began reading your essay about Chinese sutdents and if they need a American Jesus. Give God the Glory that it is His Holy Spirit that opens our eyes in the first place. Do we have culture that blends in. I will say yes, yet we are told to have the mind of Christ. Should we worry about our culturalism and how it effects our view?? COncerned yes, worry no, give it over to Jesus and follow Him, you will then do exactly what the Lord wants to do with you. We are bought and paid for with a price. we belong to Him. So don’t worry about it, just seek and follow Jesus. He will take care of the rest.
Be Blessed
Walt

Get real. Maybe in Calgary that is acceptable behavior for two young to confront an older couple, but in the US, when the four are not in the midst of a crowd, that has all of the signs of a robbery or worse. The guy did exactly the right thing. His training and street smarts (for the US anyway)...
... had he escape the situation with no problem.
If some of you think the aggressiveness of the Canadians was misinterpreted, then you need to think about the training and knowledge that the US cop had about how such situations play out. Then that would make the two guys certainly having over-step the normal bounds of decency. You can't blame the cope for being "scared."

The funny thing is he claims that both men came up and said in a "very aggressive" tone..
Really?
You ever hear people from Cowboy Province talk?
quickly moved between these two and my wife, replying, "Gentle-men, I have no need to talk with you, goodbye." They looked bewildered, and we then walked past them.
I speculate they did not have good intentions when they approached in such an aggressive, disrespectful and menacing manner. I thank the Lord Jesus Christ they did not pull a weapon of some sort, but rather concluded it was in their best interest to leave us alone.
This guy is NUTS.
IF he'd had a weapon, he would have pulled it on them according to his demeanor.
Of course these guys looked bewildered, they were being friendly old canadians.

Yet the police cannot protect everyone all the time. A man should be al-lowed to protect himself if the need arises.

Maid of the Mist...definitely Maid of the Mist. You have not seen the Falls until you do.

Be sure to take the helicopter ride over the falls and hit up the Clifton Hill area. It's a couple of my favorites for that area.
