Can't always rely on the police to spot you and stop you.

If you were a girl walking around the DTES knowing that its the shithole of vancouver then you're just dumb and ignorrant.

now thats fucked up, i am glad i am not studying at utsc anymore, which is about 5min drive away from the scene.

i still remember when the school would send us notices when there are shootings or robberies near/on campus, as well as the break-ins of residence from time to time. Now looking back at it, scarborough is a scary place to be in. It is probably safer to walk on E.Hastings alone in midnight than waiting for subway in Scarborough. I had 3 friends who got robbed at gun point while waiting for the subway, or bus late at night. We really have it easy here in vancouver, and thats why i love this place!

shit goes down in DTES but not a lot of shootings. usually just stabbings and robberies. but they dont get reported on the news.

I was reinforcing the point that the DTES is dangerous. So yeah, it would be stupid to walk around that area at night. But thanks, tips..

was waiting on this generic comment from someone

if we were to use the "this place/person has it worse therefore this is not news" argument for everything we would sure be one dumb fuck society

I am friends with chicks who walk around there and here, east Cordova, all the time late at night. One of my best friends, this quiet russian girl, used to wait for the night bus on Hastings at 3 AM and she said nobody ever scared her. For the most part she said people were friendly to her!

^cuz nobody fucks with russians

DTES is so gentrified now compared to before...east on Main it's all hipsters, way better than 10 years ago

BitchslappedByLogic comments on Breaking news: 11 People shot at house party(morningside and Lawrence) 2 without vital

Just heard that 2 people at the block party got in an argument and started shooting... obviously they were pussies so neither of them got hit and only those around them were injured

First thought...

The shooters represent the most dangerous type of criminals... stupid ones. Take your beef somewhere private, instead of whipping out your guns and firing when there are hundreds of innocent people around.
