Double Homicide in Marlborough

[Robbob]

What we need is some tougher legislation to help the cops. Right now the cops have to spend way to much in terms of money and time for a typical gang arrest. The cops need some new tools to work with because the current system doesn't work. Even with more cops on the street I don't think it will stop these gang shootings. I think its time to think outside the box.

Looking at that map, seems like the Deep South is pretty crime free... mind you, by the time someone takes the long drive down Deerfoot to the boonies to exact their vengeance, they'd have spent all their bullets shooting at people driving slowly in the fast lane.

haha.


...and to be fair, I don't think anyone should feel offended or the need to try and prove anything, or call me ignorant if I feel a hell of a lot safer in the deep south (ie Canyon Meadows, lake bonavista, sundance, midnapore etc) then a lot of the NE/SE communities (ie Marlbourough, forest lawn, applewood, dover, erin woods etc) Nothing anyone says is going to change my mind that there is a distinct difference in my feelings of safety between the two groups of communities I mentioned. To put it bluntly, I feel completely safe walking around a community like Lake Bonavista at 2am alone, where as I would never even think about doing the same in let's say, Dover.
