Why a convicted drug dealer burst into Rob Ford's home demanding money

[Locutus]

“You owe me money,” a convicted drug peddler screamed at Rob Ford after bursting into the mayor’s home and later threatening to kill him.

Court documents recently obtained by the Toronto Sun reveal stunning new details about the mayor’s frightening run-in with a man who once had close ties to the Ford family — an incident that occurred in Rob Ford’s Etobicoke home and raises more questions in the wake of the crack cocaine allegations that have been dogging him.

A strung out Scott MacIntyre, the ex-boyfriend of Ford’s sister Kathy, entered uninvited through the unlocked front door of the Edenbridge Dr. house around 7:30 a.m. on Jan. 11, 2012, and began screaming about debts that needed to be paid, according to the documents.

“You owe me money, your sister owes me money, if I don’t get it, they will kill me,” MacIntyre, then 45, yelled at the mayor, who rushed to confront his sister’s longtime common law partner.

Wow, tough one.

I'm gonna go with number 3 - "because he wanted money."

Man, these Canadian game shows are hard.

Old Kathy is a real piece of work.

Likewise MacIntyre.

At the very least they are both good and sufficient reason to lock your freaking doors Ford. Sheesh.

LOL. If that was my neighbour....I'd move!

No, my neighbour is 30 or 40 something mentally ill dude who lives with his 80 something year old father who occassionally decides to go off his meds and self-medicate, typically with beer.

The police show up on occassion to escort him for three day excursions in the mental ward of the local hospital. It's quite sad, actually very sad. However I don't trust the guy when he's off his meds and drunk...hence my locked door.

Holy crap! Ford had siblings that lived? I mean that crib musta been huge or else ol Robby would have smothered everyone else just by being there. lol Funny, I can picture him wearing diapers. Men's size XXXXXXXXLarge.
Now this would be a comical sight, "mayor, who rushed to confront his sister’s longtime common law partner"

lol... some people hey? they are animals...

Damn. A racist Gorilla. Go figger. Doesn't like blue people.

Seems like a bunch of nuthin' to me.

An after-hours appearance by Toronto Mayor Rob Ford at a west-end jail in March was deemed unusual by correctional officials and prompted an e-mail describing the incident for the Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services, multiple sources have told The Globe and Mail.

Mr. Ford went to the jail that night to speak with a then-inmate named Bruno Bellissimo, The Globe has learned. Mr. Bellissimo, 43, is not named in the e-mail, but two sources, including Mr. Bellissimo’s mother, identified him as the person Mr. Ford was trying to contact.

That assumes that drug dealers are fair and reasonable business people. I suspect they arent. If they see a way to make money they will likely keep milking it. After all whats he going to do, call the cops? They would ask some uncomfortable questions about why you may or may not owe money to a drug dealer.

yes what you say is true, not all drug dealers are likely to be fair and reasonable business people, however if one owes money one should pay up to decrease the chances of them turning up in hysterics looking for their money because someone has threatened to kill them, and likely if one is the mayor one should not turn up at the jail in off hours looking to connect with a prisoner charged with a drug offense it just looks so darn shady ya know?
