There's shootings that make the news every few days, while stabbings are everywhere, every day. So crazy.

I work in the core, but I just don't see that kind of aggressive behaviour around. Mostly drunk bumblers and whatnot, but nothing like that.
In winter I sometimes ride transit to not have to deal with the roads and I've met a number of seemingly sketchy people from afar who actually were nice and respectful for the most part once I chatted with them.
Maybe its cause I'm usually out of that area by 7pm at the latest but I rarely feel like there's any real threats abound or anything. That's why these incidents still seem pretty "freak" to me.
Are people really getting randomly stabbed on the street daily in this city and most of it is just not given any media attention?
