Reasons for this city's worsening drugs/gang-related incidents:
- our broken legal system that preaches the "hug a thug" theory of criminal punishment. A pat on the back saying "now now, just don't do it again ok?" and off they go into the streets again. We need more severe punishment for crimes committed, otherwise NO ONE will care about the consequences of their actions
- not enough money spent on the Police force. Instead, we have billions spent on the long gun registry which (evidently) has done nothing to prevent these gang-related shootings from happening. Our gun laws are targeting the WRONG PEOPLE! I would rather see money spent on beefing up our Police force and adding more man power to better enforce the laws.
- our hippie mayor and his la-la land politics. Why isn't more money spent on getting more resources for the VPD or the gang unit? Does he not care that this city is being ruined by these gangbangers? All he seems to care about is putting more bike lanes into the streets and spending money to make the city hippie-friendly. Horrible leadership!
This is the first time in my life that I would think twice about walking in the streets in the middle of the night, even just to goto the corner store to get a bag of chips or some coffee at McDonald's. I don't feel safe anymore...
