Further proof even 'good' areas of the lower mainland aren't safe from gun crime

The shooting of gang members I can condone, so long as no members of the public are harmed.

Re: Gun battle in Burnaby Hotel - 2 dead
 

Used to live in Burnaby, I don't recall much 'good' about it!

Re: Gun battle in Burnaby Hotel - 2 dead
 

relatively speaking

Re: Gun battle in Burnaby Hotel - 2 dead
 

Gang members are members of the public.

Disadvantaged ones for the most part, but still members of the public.

Re: Gun battle in Burnaby Hotel - 2 dead
 

it's just a matter of time before someone not a gang member gets caught in the gunfire. imo.

Re: Gun battle in Burnaby Hotel - 2 dead
 

Yes. It's happened (and happening) the country over. Many a time.

Pretending it's OK gang-on-gang (usually minority group on minority group) simply doesn't help.

What happened about that pipe bomb?

Re: Gun battle in Burnaby Hotel - 2 dead
 

Oh dear, now where did I put it? Tut tut.

Or was the query more general?

Re: Gun battle in Burnaby Hotel - 2 dead
 

Are biker gangs minority groups too? I believe there is a lot of killing in that circle also

Re: Gun battle in Burnaby Hotel - 2 dead
 

You tell me. You're a member of a similar group.

What's with the glorification of the Hell's Angels in the BC papers? It's always "full patch angel Larry Amero", not just "dead gangster Larry Amero".

They only ever kill their own and they love their mothers. They truly are the gentlemen of murder and drug dealing.

My daughter lived on a street here with a clubhouse at the end. "No violence round here" she said, "they keep it down", "no trouble for us from the police, they don't come here". I thought that was lovely but then the clubhouse was blown up with an actual bazooka. Lots of risk of collateral damage with high explosives, I'm not keen myself.

The one in Kelowna was raided a while back and now apparently they are going to seize it along with a Vancouver one.
