Gun battle in Burnaby Hotel - 2 dead
This place is going to the dogs.

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.

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

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

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

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".

Re: Gun battle in Burnaby Hotel - 2 dead
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.
