Who cares about some accusations about using her kids as shields?
The bottom line is she's dead. And I'm glad she's dead - she got what she deserved. We need a lot more of these, IMO.

Hahahahahaha. OMG!
I can't believe the lot of you actually think the police meant Betty Yan was using here kids as bulletproof vests.
Couldn't you guys have come to the conclusion that what it meant was that by maintaining the presence of her kids closeby, she hopes to discourage or thwart any attempts to her safety?

More and more it seems like these shootings are the best thing that could happen for Vancouver. As long as nobody innocent is getting hurt, I say let them weed each other out!

we can probably merge this with the shootings thread now

A large portion of "rich" ppl make their fortune thru illegal means. When ur "business" is aimed for rich ppl, u'll have businesses from criminals. Is this really so hard to understand?

She was a criminal was she not? Kid's shields or not, if she was a criminal then that's one less of them on the streets. Glad she's dead.

Fuck her. Glad she's dead. Hope her husband joins her sooner rather than later. Their kids might actually have a chance at living a normal, productive life.

People complain about anything they can complain about.
People love to complain about anything they can.
The irony is, I know so many chicks who say gang stuff is so wrong but then they are all eating up that shit when some gang banger buys them a Gucci bag. Then all of a sudden they turn a blind eye or say "you don't know the full story" type shit.
Face it, gang violence is a part of life anywhere in the world, and somewhere like Vancouver, it's going to be a larger part of society.
Besides, a lot of the people in private school are like Marco911 so maybe someone like that would get blasted in the early grades and save the world from perpetual retardation.

Wow, there's a lot of really ignorant people on here. This is how I see it, since I came from a private school background and yes, will plan (er... try to afford to?) to send my daughter to one of these schools once she is old enough.
- As a mother, she left her children vulnerable for the rest of their lives; these kids will face ridicule and scorn wherever they go where people recognize or remember their history. The stigma doesn't come off easily. I feel sorry for these kids.
- As a "business" person, she had it coming. Either she was going to get busted for illegal activity or, as in this case, shot dead. Good riddance? Maybe in the sense of one less suspected criminal off the streets, but dead? No. A human life is valuable, otherwise we'd all be killing each other without remorse for anything we felt wasn't done "right". Shame on those of you who would think otherwise. Go shake your head and think about it if not for yourselves but for your fellow species.
- As for the human shield issue, I agree with one other poster about the possibility that Betty kept close to her kids to thwart or remove attempts to take her life. I highly doubt as a parent, she would intentionally put them in harm's way to save herself. Was her strategy sound or effective? Most likely not, but I'd think twice about her being "evil" and labelling her kids as her "collateral". (She didn't bring her kids out to the warehouse the night she died). Like many, she probably thought there may have been a "code" or sense of chivalry in her dark criminal world. Alas, that's not true anymore these days.
Bottom line, I'm conflicted and confused by all this but I wouldn't be so quick to judge her or come to conclusions about the type of person she is/was.
BTW, has anyone noticed any mention of her husband and/or the father of the children?

and you reap what you sow, i'm glad more of these dumbasses are shooting each other
