Randy Quaid and wife fear "Hollywood star whackers"

Couple seeks refugee status after Vancouver arrest

Actor Randy Quaid and his wife feel their lives are in danger, and have told an immigration hearing in Vancouver that they need asylum in Canada. This followed the Thursday arrest of the couple in Vancouver’s Kerisdale neighbourhood, where the pair were brought in on outstanding warrants from the United States. Brian Tsuji, the Quaids’ lawyer, read a single-line statement to reporters after the hearing: “We are requesting asylum from Hollywood star whackers.” The pair, who were released after each paid $10,000 bail, say that eight of their friends—including Heath Ledger and David Carradine—have been killed in mysterious ways and they fear that they are next.

    As an American, I say to Canada: You can keep them! Hopefully BC Medicare covers mental health treatment. They ought to rack up quite a tab at BC taxpayers wexpense.

    But what's the point in fleeing to Vancouver? The evil STAR WHACKERS can find you anywhere. Proof: David Carradine died in Thailand. The STAR WHACKERS aren't constrained by international borders. When it's your time, they will come for you, wherever you are hiding…

      I've always enjoyed Randy Quaid, but I was apparently under a widely held misapprehension–I had thought that he was acting. Man, little did we know, eh?

    • DVS

      you watch too too much tv

      • recluse

        They think they can escape their doom by fleeing the US? Foolish Quaids! They cannot hide from their fate in Vancouver. STAR WHACKERS cross borders at will!

  • Stewart_Smith

    I hope Canadians will show compassion and save these two. Casting them as leads in a CBC drama should be good enough to hide them from any star whackers.

      too true, thanks for the morning laugh

  • Donna

    Can the Quaids' story get any stranger? I think not, but only time will tell.

  • Jeet

    Put him in the Senate–he'll never be heard from again. How can countries with as dumb an immigration policy as ours remain sovereign. Waste those taxpayers dollarssssss.

    • Sandy

      Totally agree!! Great post!

      What does immigration have to do with this?

      • Mike T.

        Well that is where their "application" will be "processed" (the immigrationan and refugee process is different but it's handled by the same bureaucrats). But Jeet, above, is not seeing the huge difference between saying you want into the country for a dumb reason, and actually being let into a country for that dumb reason.

    Escort them to a U.S. bound flight immediately…they are just a couple of crooks.

    • s_c_f

      A bus to Seattle would do, why waste money on a flight?

      • Ariadne

        Just let them walk to the border, so they will think twice before coming back. In this situation, being green is the way to go.

  • quark1912

    Yup a movie deal or perhaps a reality TV series. The Quaid couple will feal right at home in Vancouver as BC is sort of California lite and not bankrupt, yet.

    • http://onelinecritic.wordpress.com/ DirtyOldTown

      Yes, Vancouver is awesome. And only 7 more months until we see the sun again. Woot!

      • true north

        It's a Known fact that Vancouverites can't Suntan between November and May…they ''Rust " ( don't blame me my ,grandaughter heard it at school.)

        • Ariadne

          Nah! We just grow molds and fungi… on second thought that might make them safe from so called star whackers! Immigration officers should check the Quaid's medicine cache, and supplement them with anti psychotic meds.

          • true north

            If they get refugee status that will all be supplied , courtesy of us Taxpayers, again…..

          • Claudia Lemire

            They are not going to get it, but it will take a while for them to go back to the US, it will cost taxpayers a pretty penny.

          • true north

            Agree.. and if you wanted to get ''lost'' in B.C. they could be here for awhile too…….

          • Claudia Lemire

            I agree too, I wonder how long will it take for them to be deported though?

          • Ariadne

            Average 10 years(considering appeal and re appeal). By then, the star whackers will probably get to them first.

          • Claudia Lemire

            What a joke! Even with the arrest warrant they have in the US?

          • true north

            B.C. t.v. News said they will be here for at least two years… minimum, so as Ariadne said 10 years…with appeals and such this could be drawn out for a very long time…..Don't you just love seeing our Tax Dollars at work..??

          • Claudia Lemire

            Oh, God, no kidding, I can't wait for the "Saturday Night Live" parody ; )

  • dan

    Wouldn't they have to be 'stars' for those type of people to target them?

  • redbuk

    It's that BC bud works every time

  • Susan Hamilton

    I totally support Randy Quaid and his allegations. Haven't any of you people been paying attention? Haven't you noticed how Mel Gibson has been blackballed since making his comment about Zionists? It goes much, much deeper than stealing one actors property. What is sinister to me is how the people police themselves without even being asked. If someone says anything at all different, public consensus immediately labels the person crazy and delusional. How about hearing him out and doing a little research before passing judgement.

  • Mike

    People are so quick to judge people as "whacko's" without even researching or trying to see where they are comig from. People,have you NOT nopticed how disturbing the governments are acting? (ALL OVER THE WORLD!) Wde are sheeple to them and anytime someone speaks out they are branded as whacko's or worse! Geez people,THINK FOR YOURSELF,notg with the masses!(Yes,anytime the masses believe something one should believe the opposite!

  • true north

    Could this be the makings of a book or movie deal ?? ….Stay tuned Folks…….

  • Claudia Lemire

    I know, it sounds like maybe he is trying to pull a Joaquin Phoenix kind of deal.

  • true north

    Maybe your right…crazy like fox .

  • Claudia Lemire

    He is making his character cousin Eddie look sane, I sure hope he gets help, he was a good actor, it is just weird!

  • true north

    Yes I agree, According to the Immigration people he could be in B.C. for possibly two years ? Lets hope that he will get his head together by then……
