Problem is that even they build a case that would stick, crown/judges can't get the maximum sentences because the prisons are packed. I think the solution is, as many people have said, to increase sentences; there'd definitely be the whole prison capacity issue at first but in the long run there would be a decrease as the consequences are stiffer - bigger risk vs. reward than there is currently now.

7 eleven at knight and 33rd.

^ someone was found dead in someones front yard last year i think not to far away from there

not to suprised

areas a warzone

crazy shit as always,all of this,the rookie RCMP are never in the area to catch anyone & just reports of it.
just lets all the gangster's know they can do something like this and speed off when they watch it on TV


i won't be surprised if i hear on the new's some despite thugs try rob a bank getting the idea from "The Town"

There's all these shootings everywhere, all the time. However, how many times have the cops caught anyone through investigations.

^ never.

same questions as, how many terrorists or bombs have the Airports thwarted, with all their naked body scanners, high tech equipment, increased security and measures? The answer is none.

The government scares the people into giving away more personal freedoms each and everyday in return for bullshit "security"

Like how Mayor Gregor Robertson pledged for more police and a show of force to fight off the gang violence. That aint gonna do nothing. You want to stop the violent drug wars from erupting on public streets? Simple, END PROHIBITION.

Its time the laws are updated to work in favor of todays society, not in favor of the military industrial complex and the corporations that profit off the madness.

this

It was a bouncer that got shot, and he is ok. Got hit a couple times in the thigh. Dont know anymore than that.

I was in gas town and I saw a couple cops running while carrying shotguns around 3am. Big WTF, never seen anything like it before.

getting shot in the leg doesnt mean he's okay.. especially when its the thigh

must have pissed someone off bad

What a fool from Alberta. Oblivious to the fact that Granville is crawling with uniformed and plain clothes cops every saturday night. He probably thought people in Vancouver are scared of gangsters and would let him run away. Wrong. :Petting



VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) - An early morning shooting in Vancouver has left one man in hospital. The victim is a bouncer at a nightclub downtown. It was shortly after 1 a.m. a man got into an argument with the doorman of the Barcelona Lounge on Granville Street.

At some point the man pulled out a gun and fired several shots, the bouncer was hit in the leg.

Vancouver Police Constable Lindsey Houghton says the suspect is a 32-year-old man from Alberta. "The man in custody is facing numerous weapons, firearms and assault related charges. We could be looking at charges relating from firearms charges all the way up to possibly attempted murder charges. He is known to police."

The victim has non-life threatening injuries.

Houghton is praising the witnesses who chased down and held him until police arrived.

Being from Vancouver, I'm really surprised they even chased him down, especially after the fact he shot someone. He must have just chucked his piece after firing?

pretty hard to stop shootings with shit like this, this was a little low-key article in the province a few days back:

I can't believe witnesses chased down a man who was armed and already showed that he was willing to use his gun. Those people are either braver or dumber than I am.

The guy probably has a short life expectancy anyways. I have no sympathy for fellow "gang" or "criminals" killing each other off

i heard "the rock" got shot
