Well no shit she would say that. It's her colleagues. She wouldn't have the same perspective as us.

She made some hilarious comments.
"I have no idea why there were together. They are friends though"
brb going to have to find out reason why friends might hang out together.
"They're really nice people"
brb going to start worrying now about nice people murdering and dealing drugs.
"They were in the wrong place at the wrong time"
Really?
brb not sure if wrong place is where ever I am and wrong time is after I've killed people who have vengeful friends

I bet she dosn't even know who the real father of her kid is.

Back that up son.
You're trying to tell me You moved "moved here to get away from people getting shot on the street". And you moved to Surrey?

I moved to Surrey because I realistically couldn't afford anywhere else. In hindsight, I might have been better off with my family in Burnaby. But when apartments cost $300k, it's real hard to buy something.

Welcome to Canada
How long have you been here and why did you pick Vancouver of all the places in the world?
Sometimes, anywhere is better than Surrey. I guess part of the price you pay for buying is place is the sketchy neighborhood. You'd probably be able to rent in bby or coquitlam, but then that wouldn't be ownership. On the upside, at least Surrey has a skytrain.
If I had to pick, I'd try to find something cheap in coquitlam, port moody or new west.

My area here is not bad, actually. I'm in between Whalley and Guildford, and it's the first time this has happened on my street. I wouldn't be able to rent in Burnaby, either. Coquitlam's transportation sucks ass. New Westminster also sucks ass if you don't have a car. Try going up those hills with a shopping cart full of stuff.
Sadly, given the pathetic state of public transportation and the obscene prices, North Surrey was the best.
I mean, It's not horrible, but it annoys me to no end that it would help this problem a lot if justice here wasn't so pathetic. As long as people are getting 6 months probation for firearm offences and drug dealing, it will just keep getting worse, bit by bit.

seems off | it IS off. forget the fact that its from 2006, its also per capita. thats why a buncha small shithole countries from eastern europe are on there. if your country has 2 million people with a huge % of murders you'll be ranked high despite the fact that u have the same population as vancouver. meanwhile mexico CITY has a population of 15 million, and i cant even imagine how many murders. but u know, some shitty 2006 list from a sketchy website says otherwise right? man, the guy who posted that list is an idiot Posted via RS Mobile

Cactus Club plaza in Delta on Scott Road and 80th area had a bunch of police cars and yellow tape closing off the vicinity tonight. Probably is where the incident occurred.

oh?
news1130 says the cars on the st are riddled with bullet holes Quote: John Oliver Secondary locked after shots fired
No reports of injuries
VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) - Students at John Oliver Secondary School are being let out gradually onto 41st Ave. after reports of shots fired in the area forced the school to lock its doors earlier this afternoon.
Gunshots rang out through the neighbourhood near East 45th Ave. and Fraser St. shortly before 1 p.m. and several cars have bullet holes in them, but so far there are no reports of injuries. Vancouver Police with guns drawn are scouring nearby homes.
There is no word yet if anyone has been arrested.
Fraser St. is closed both ways between 41st and 49th Avenues.

.... yeah. Gun control doesn't work.

UPDATE: A 20-year-old man is dead from what appears to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound after a stand-off in East Vancouver.
No one else is injured. Police had surrounded a home near 45th Ave. and Fraser St. after several cars in the neighbourhood were hit by gunfire earlier this afternoon. Man dead after police standoff over shots fired in East Van - News1130
