Did the clinic make mistakes? For sure. They were going to rectify some of that with a meeting between themselves and the community. However the mob mentality of the community eliminated any chance of that. There's no way i'd show up for a meeting with an attitude like that from the community. Chances are anything the clinic tried to say would have been shouted down by the angry mob. The community have only themselves to blame for not getting the info they wanted. |
Well had they held the meeting pre emptively, and actually been there to answer questions, I doubt it would have been mob mentality. C'mon, Dion. You have to admit that waking up one day next to a meth clinic would be alarming.

I'd have no problems what so ever with a clinic moving into my neighbourhood.

Easy for you to say when you know full well that it'll never happen in your neighbourhood. How about a halfway house for pedophiles opening in your neighbourhood? Do you think that maybe you'd want to be informed of something like this opening next door? Or would you calmly and rationally just go and google pedophiles and figure "gee, I'm sure glad they're getting help. I have no problem with this whatsoever"
