Unfortunately when the city grows at the rate and pace that it is growing at there are always side effects, positive and negative. The population increase will spur violence. It's the same with any other growing city. I mean think about it if there are a 1000 new people coming in to the city every month what are the odds that all 1000 will be safe, law abiding members of the community. Very very low.
Was the intensity of these kind of gun wielding attacks taking place 5-6 years ago? Probably not. Something has changed then right. There are good and bad people everywhere but with a city like Calgary which once had a small town mentality about it and where shootings and innocent bystanders caught in crossfire was literally unheard of and frowned upon, that city doesn't exist anymore. It was prime for indecent people to walk in here and start making a mess of things.
