Man shot at SkyTrain station, then rides train
He rode injured from Royal Oak to Edmonds
BURNABY (NEWS1130) - Quite a frightening commute for some SkyTrain users Tuesday afternoon. A man who was shot on a SkyTrain platform managed to hobble onto an eastbound train, full of rush-hour passengers.
The attack happened just after 5 p.m., at the Royal Oak station. "The victim was on the platform. There were a lot of people around, because it was rush hour. A shot or several shots were fired at him," explains Sgt. Ted De Jager.
Instead of waiting for help, the man boarded the eastbound train, but police caught up with him at Edmonds Station. He is expected to survive his injuries.
Police will be interviewing witnesses before concluding whether one or a number of people were responsible.
i was on the platform around 530ish and saw that there were 4 officers standing in front of the stairwell that was taped off..
lol, the guy doing the shooting had some fuckin balls to shoot the guy on a freaking skytrain station with tons of cameras.....
I think its safe to say that gun violence is on the rise.

Yeah, lets take one incident and make a general claim.
fineprint for anal nit pickers: my claim is that there is evidence documented by the media that indicate an increase in gun related violence in vancouver

Does help reach you faster if you board a skytrain??
Was probably afraid of staying at the area that he was getting shot at (where the shooter was still at)... and maybe he had to get on the train at the last moment to get away

Please provide a direct link, because the top 4 links are out dates, spanning 2006-2008.
Invisible sky daddies commanding people to do shit is just so beyond retarded, I feel like punching myself in the balls until I shit my computer chair.

the fact that they're 3-6 years old doesn't discredit the long-term trend we're heading in. your sample of the first 4 links within said time-span doesn't dictate 2009 being the worst year in gun violence, yet you don't have to search google to know this (don't ask me for reference links cause you were out of town)
in laymens perspective, there's an increasing (per capita) trend in gun violence in vancouver over the long term. you can try and spin this around as much as you want and say "last month we had only 1 shooting, yet in february 2010 we had 0 shootings, so the trend must be declining" but if you stretch this over a graph you'd see the thing rising like a stock you wished you invested in. oh and you'd see a dip around february 2010, some significant event must've happened during that time.

Actually, if you read the links you posted, despite the articles dated "2008" they use 2006 data. I would believe that is rather inconclusive as to what direction we're headed in considering these findings are going on 5 years old. Whether or not gun violence is indeed on the increase remains to be seen. Just because the 2006 data suggests something does not mean that will actually occur.
New York crime scene, for example. Late 80's to early 90's experts were predicting the metaphorical "end of the world" for NY. And what do you know, crime dropped hard and fast.
Get my point?
Direct link plz. It's your argument, you do the hw.
Edit: Also, if you're writing academic papers (depending on subject), trends and findings edging on 5 years old are boarding usability. But I'm sure you knew that.

just like a korean drama.. get hit by a car? go home.. sleep it off..
Spoiler!
After bringing home a expensive bag filled with crumpled money, and tires marks on the bag. Die the next morning. Your older brother, who is in Law school, searches for your killer, along with your little brother who is a Mechanic, who happens to be friends with the older brother's friend, who's also in Law School to be a judge, like his father who is a Supreme Court Judge.
Turns out, some girl's father get blamed for the murder because he pushed the Victim into a wall, after he tried to fight him off his Daughter who was about to get "raped". The victim was hired to fake the rape situation by some psychopath Rich Kid who's Parents are the Top Lawyers in Korea. The Rich kid created this situation to "Save" the girl, so that she would fall in love with him.
The Father has an arrest warrant, and loses his Job, because the Rich kid's Parents forced the Father into paying compensation to the Victim's Parents, which means he admitted the fault. The Girl's family loses all thier money and are forced to sell thier house. The father goes into a Stroke, and is admitted to a Private Hospital, where the Oldest Daughter is forced to marry the Private Hospital's Heir.
The Victim's Parents run away with the Compensation money + the Bag, as ordered by the Rich Kid's Parents, while the Victim's brothers wanted to give the money back to the family. The Victim's older brother falls in love with the Girl who his brother was trying to "rape", and all three families bond to find the real killer.
5 Episodes of bullshit later, You find out that the Rich Kid's Parents are actually the Private Lawyers for the Hospital. The owner hires another Lawyer to find evidence, and AS IT SOMEHOW TURNS OUT, the new Lawyer actually worked for the Supreme Court Judge.
Oldest Sister and the Heir actually fall in love, but shortly after find out that the Heir's "sister" is actually the Heir's Daughter that he had back when he was a teenager. The Heir's daughter falls in love with the Victim's little brother, but they don't end up together.
TURNS OUT. At both incidents, the Victim's friend was there, and recorded the Victim getting run over. He comes back after the Lawyers tricked him into running away, and tries to help with the case. However, the phone is broken, and they lose the case.
4 Years later, the Victim's parents send the bag back to the brothers, and the Oldest Brother, now a Lawyer along with his friend who is a Judge, take down the Rich kid + his parents, and the Oldest brother and the Girl end up together.
