Alright, let's address the elephant in the room. What does everyone think about this escalating gang violence in Calgary as of late? Granted, it's been escalating for years, but now it's becoming far more public.

I actually don't feel any less safe than I ever did, particularly because this bloodshed is being kept to warfare between gangs. It is pretty well-known that gangs do not conduct random attacks on citizens, and gangs that do have none if any presence at all in Calgary.

I used to have a lot of Asian friends back in my high school days; I wouldn't be surprised if way back when I've bumped into one or two of these guys, but I wouldn't be able to recall.

Thoughts? Anyone ducking for cover? Or is this whole thing overblown?
