Gregor Robertson Scared, LOL
 

So, he's going to do something now?

Typical. Nothing happens until an official is threatened. It's like our justice system. Nothing will happen until a judge's family is killed, raped, and tortured.

What did you do to him!

More details?

What happened? Did a girl try to kiss him?

:Orly:

Was on the news today. Saturday's shooting was one block away from where he lives. He was scared for his family and couldn't believe something like this would happen. His neighbourhood was under siege, LOL.

Uh, the rest of us deal with this shit all the time, buddy. You hear about shootings at Metrotown, DTES, etc. Now that it was so close to home, he's going to make sure this kind of stuff doesn't happen.

I blame it on bike lanes.

my lack of respect for this monkey has reached an all new low

should've spent those millions of dollars on youth rehabilitations then faggot bike lanes huh

damn bike lanes..

For the love of god, stop the madness! Stop bike lanes!

he needs to build bike lanes in his neighbourhood, so the gangstas in their cars can't get there

they put up bike lanes and signs in surrey(newton) too wtf

Maybe that piece of shit asshole should have spent all the wasted money from the bike lanes on resources to fight organized crime.

Some of us may not agree with all of Gregor Robinson's policies, but doesn't change the fact that he's a parent, spouse and human. Although shootings are sadly becoming a reality in Vancouver, this is the greatest escalation of violence to date, four more victims than the Surrey six killings, not a relatively simple incident with one victim.

I can say with confidence that every single member on this website would be scared for your family if ten people were shot a block from their home. Judging the Mayor on his policies is fine, but this is just childish.. I expect to get failed, but I felt I needed to voice my opinion.

The point isn't that he's afraid, it's that he's only doing something NOW because his family was located near a shooting. He should have dealt with this a LONG time ago.

son of a bitch! SINKHOLLLEEEEEE

Maybe my perspective is different since I live in the Langley, but since the peak in violence where shootings were happening daily things have gotten significantly better. Its not a problem that can be solved overnight, just because it doesn't seem like things have improved dramatically doesn't mean things aren't being done. For example, I often see VPD and APD gang task force officers working together.

The asshole should have done something a long time ago!

Instead he only chooses to "step up" now because his family lives a block away. A little fucking selfish don't you think?

Of course you're going to feel protective after the fact. However, I think the point that is trying to be made is that many politicians only have a knee jerk reaction because something has finally happened to them instead of only hearing about it on the news or as part of their morning brief. It's like when Kevin Falcon was stuck in traffic when they shut down the Second Narrows to talk a suicide jumper down... he only became outraged and demanded that more be done simply because he was stuck in that traffic. Where were his demands during all the other times bridges have been shut down under similar circumstances?

Fuck that, fix the sinkhole first.

Bwahahahaha............

I guess for people who take that route it's a real inconvenience.

I was listening to Virgin Radio this afternoon. They were asking people to call in with suggestions for a name for the sinkhole. I called in and suggested calling it "The Surrey Hole." They laughed but said they needed something they could use on the radio. I don't know........ the hole is fricken big and it reminded me of a Surrey Hoe, LOL.

My apologies to Surrey residents............. Hee hee

from his actions it seems the mayor sure seems to think so.

If your the mayor of a city which has constant shootings/gang related activity. It really shouldnt take 10 wounded 1 block away from you for you to realize more needs to be done.

The upside to all this is no innocent were killed inorder for this issue to finally get the attention it deserves.

this mayor has a MASSIVE god-complex ego -- he also said he will solve homelessness in vancouver. now it seems he thinks he can stop all gang activity/shootings.

sigh i can't believe he *STILL* has a decently high popular rating. ARGH

Not having the bike lanes would not have stopped the shootings.

And for most of 2010 high profile gang violence such as shootings has, in general, been down so was there really a need for action since things seemed to be improving?

Gregor's call to action is one of concern for his family, but also of public interest. People are concerned about gang shootings, so he should react. So this can only mean things can get better right?

Sorry guys. We need to shorten this thread to put a bike lane in
