Those bike lanes look perfect for a pocket pike... Just sayin.

Judges don't set the laws. If you want stiffer sentences do something to have the laws changed.

Judges can change laws and throw out bad ones.

For example, judges usually sentence criminals for less than the maximum penalties. So it's not really an issue of "lenient penalties", more to do with lenient judges.

Whether this leniency is warranted is debatable. Remember that judges could easily sentence someone for 10 years just to appease public sentiment. But they don't, and I'm sure they have good reasons for it.

Join the fight against redundant bike lanes.
It's not just a problem, it's everyone's problem

FAMILIES OPPOSED to BIKE LANES

Jokes aside, seriously those bike lanes are just WTF. unless bikes have to carry license plates, they don't deserve their own fucking lane.

I'm happy East Van's extended out to Oak St.

Ch28 said what I was thinking. Did he ever meet with the mayors of Delta, Surrey, Burnaby and say hey this is getting out of hand what can we do as a group? No he only phoned because he couldnt hear Joe Rogan say "get outta there Chris Cringle & FU Koz" during the beat down by GSP. ;)

well he'll be the first Vancouver Mayor to want to do something about Crime in a long time

And could this be, a chance for him to make himself look good as he tries to run for the leadership role in the provincial NDP? Could it be something for his own personal political career? The shoot was on Oak and 22. He lives a block away.
There are 2 asian rub and tubs on the corner of Oak and King ed, which at most is 4 blocks from his place. Shouldn't he be concerned about this? Oh wait, it hasn't hit the news yet so there is no need to take any action.

Maybe I am old and cynical, but he hasn't done anything to impress me much, and the fact that he only steps up onto the soap box after a shooting that happens a block away from his place at 2 am makes me wonder about his agenda.

Two solutions for the sinkhole:

Put a tarp over it and turn it into a homeless shelter.

Fill it up with gangsters' bodies.

i walk up that street everyday and never see more than 10 people on bikes in that lane fuckin waste of money

a block isn't far.... and he was one of the first 911 callers supposedly

again, at least he's the first mayor since i can remember that wants to crack down on crime its not like it wasn't a concern before im sure "crime" is a concern for everyone in politics but you wont hear normally hear a call to actio

:facepalm:

I can't say that 10 people were shot, but we had a shooting 2 blocks away from where we live. The October shooting in New West.

Gregor...everyone feels that way, and its not your neighborhood under seige, its the entire city. Everyone before looked at where the shootings were and said if I stay away from Whalley, and from DTES we should be fine, but unfortunately the targets look like us, and live in our neighborhoods.

Werd, I drive down Dunsmuir from the viaduct 5 times a week at various times of the day. During rush hour, afternoon, night, whenever and I rarely see people on the lane it really pisses me off.

But six dead >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> ten injured

Screw that, leave the sink hole and have a bike lane run through it.

Like put a cover over the hole and let the bikers fall into the hole to North Korea, LOLOLOL. Now that, I would like to see. After one month, there will be no bikers left in Vancouver, because tens of thousnads of bikers use those lanes on a daily basis.

I see your point but... the shooters intent was to kill 10 people, not to injure 10.

calling for more fed/prov $ into gang task force to help vpd and metro cities proactively fight gangs in bc
about 1 hour ago via TweetDeck

i just did a quick email to him saying if he was smart he wouldnt spend money on the useless bike lanes rather saving couple of lives by putting fund in the gang task force


a little content in my email :troll:

Dear Mayor Greg, just deal with it like us dealing with your uselss bike lanes on the daily basis. (lol that was my first sentense, he prob wont read it but who cares )



his email:

gregor.robertson@vancouver.ca <gregor.robertson@vancouver.ca>

I'm glad I don't live in Vancouver...the whole bike lane thing would just piss me off.

ur all fulla shit. if my family was threatened i would secure the shit outta my own backyard too. fuck u guys. but more importantly fuck bike lanes. i hope the shooters used bikes to safely and slowly flee the scene so that he outlaws bike lanes and bikes and cyclists lol

what do you expect, Robertson is a total puss*. He would rather "expand" bitch-ass bike lanes and upgrading his park around his house... He isnt going to do anything about it. He supposely did not even attend Anti-Gang city hearing. He is probably the KingPin!



ok I gotta say this but : come on.. who the F#$ needs those bike lanes.. Pisses me off so much .. and bikers dont give a sh** anyways; they ride everywhere

Drug Money=Gang Violence
If pot were made legal in British Columbia it would drop significantly in value and devastate the gangsters' source of income, so why aren't incidents like this stimulating the debate for legalization?

1. Existence of bike only lanes on the street isn't too bad, especially during non-rush hour, I don't mind.
2. Traffic pattern changes of "no right turns" screws with traffic, esp when people are ignoring it anyways.
3. People are angry at bikers now, totally not encouraging them to get on a bike themselves.
4. The problem is that they built it on Dunsmuir, a major in-road into downtown.

And yes, all those combined, the money that could have been spent on this, could have been used to "accidentally" shoot those people that are "known to police"


Honestly, I'm really sick of hearing that term. Those people just don't belong in society anymore.
Although I do not condone capital punishment, I wouldn't mind if we just "exiled" people to an island.

Let's say, off the coast of BC. Let them grow their own food and stuff. Not like prison where we pay for them. They can swim across the ocean if they want, they just won't be allowed back into normal Canadian society.
*sigh* what a pipe dream.
