Starting in around 2013, something's definitely been happening, and it's not just isolate to Calgary. |
It also doesn’t account for the number of otherwise innocent/unprovoked victims, which seems rather tough to find data on? I say there’s a big difference between being randomly attacked and having an opposing gang member shoot you.
It’s also interesting that ‘perception isn’t reality’ when we’re talking about real tangible threats to a physical body, but perception
is reality if we’re talking about mean words and micro aggressions and whatever the hell. If someone doesn’t feel safe walking to their car after work, that’s as real and important (id argue way more) as if they feel physiologically unsafe while at work.
Regarding repeat offenders, the biggest failure and shame is domestic violence. Society seems to value aggressive criminal men’s rights to be free more than a woman’s right to not be repeatedly victimized or killed. An absolutely nauseating amount of females are victimized by perps who have already been charged or convicted of violent or weapons offences. Shameful.
