I'd like to think the non-reaction from bystanders isn't particular to Vancouver, but I don't really believe that.
I catch the bus home from work right next to this Starbucks which is one of their busier upscale locations in the heart of downtown - nothing rough about it or the neighborhood at all. Any given afternoon there'll be 20 people waiting to catch the bus within 30 feet of where this happened - all downtown office workers. There shouldn't really be any safer places to be.
Poor man. What a senseless and violent waste.
