Nine years ago today, title sequence animator and director, Paul Boyd, was shot nine times by Canadian police during one of his manic episodes and tragically died.
Let's have us an Ed, Edd, & Eddy thread.

I don't usually hate on cops without context but when you decide to shoot a man crawling on the ground in agony 9 times you're a fucking pig 100%
poor fucking bastard.

The worst part of these auctual police fuckups is it fuels peoples delusions about when the police shoot somebody for good reason it seems like whenever people are starting to accept that normaly police shoot somebody because they have to theres an auctual unnesecary shooting and it all starts back up again

Y-you think the episode where Ed had a pebble in his shoe was inspired by Boyd's antics? Because they do refer to him as a "big lug" in their memorium of him.
>he was acting bizarrely, addressing strangers as friends and shouting loudly. About 9 PM, he had come to the attention of the staff and patrons at a sushi restaurant next door to one of these clinics. He mistook a patron for someone he knew, shouted at him when that was denied and then kneeled before him to apologize for his shouting
The kneeling bit sounds like classic "please don't tell Sarah" stuff. I know the Eds' VAs are basically irl versions of them, but Boyd's incident seemed like a scenario of what would happen if a guy like Ed walked the streets of Vancouver. Idk, I need some sleep.
