Why is there no 1st class train??? The train I was on was filthy. Pizza plates, cigarette wrappers, napkins, tons of old newspapers. Styrofoam cups. Some Surrey dude in a DC hoodie farmer blew his nose on the window in front of me. Sick. An old lady got on the train at Metrotown and the smell lead me to believe she shit her pants. Fuck!!!

Monday night I saw some piece of shit nonchalantly shoot up, toss his needle out the window and slump into a heap across all of the front row. This was at like 11 o'clock. Fucking transit is so gross.

Sometimes, it helps to take action and do your part to pick up the trash.

If one of the culprit sees you pick something up and throw it out, it will do a lot more for changing that person's idea of whether it is acceptable to litter. Additionally, another citizen, equally as disgusted with the display, may feel compelled to help you.

Set a positive example rather than dwelling on the poor actions of others.

What about the 16 year old that tried to rob a 19 year old at 22nd Station this month where the victim was struck with a bat and later died.

It's also what happens when we have such a culture, and are unable to legally use anything to take said offender out. I carry a ka-bar on my backpack for use as a tool, but I wish it were legal to actually use it in self defense, instead I'd have to leave it and deal with whatever someone is threatening me with unarmed.

If I could have it my way, once someone started shit with you, it'd be open season in regards to self defense.

I grew up 20 minutes walk up from there in South Burnaby Edmonds... in the 90's it used to have gangs and was way worse then in my generation.

I carry a ka-bar on my backpack for use as a tool, but I wish it were legal to actually use it in self defense, instead I'd have to leave it and deal with whatever someone is threatening me with unarmed.Of course you cant trust the "crown" for self defense... they decide things in backrooms then to have jury trials.
I would only carry a tool if I though my theoretical sister could be raped or something... if people started fighting back for material things, the robbers are only going to get bigger guns.

Cases like the following are only going to turn into tragedies for less then a grands worth of money. This happened in Seattle recently.

More geared towards the comment about the person who was robbed and the assaulter used a bat and ended up killing the person.

However, having legal carry would do a few good things.
1) It would cut down on the crimes committed because now the baddy knows that others out there may take them out for committing the crime.

2) When seconds count, Police are only minutes away.

3) I would rather explain to the court that I shot someone to protect my life or the life of a loved one than have the Police explain to my family that someone wanted the money in my wallet and bashed my head in to get it.

There are loads of other good reason, but in this particular case these would suffice.

But no, shooting people because of litter....not a chance. To defend a life, absolutely.

Being able to carry guns would bring forth different problems, but at the end of the day, I agree with everything you said.

I'd much rather be able to protect myself and family. For someone that is law abiding, it isn't fair to not be able to protect myself, living in an environment where the bad guys pack heat to do bad things.

Indeed, there would be a different set of problems to deal with with legal carry but when you look at the facts on places that have implemented it is all positive.

Just the idea that people are able to and will defend themselves is enough to ward off many people. If you knew that 1 in 10 people had a firearm, and there were 10 people on the skytrain and you were planning on robbing/beating someone you may not do it for fear that you may get shot.

I hate the idea of taking a life, but when its fight or die I choose fight.

It would also increase the amount of violent crimes committed because criminals will be better armed. Also is someone swings at me with a bat I would not be going for a gun if I had one would not be my first move.

Statistically and factually proved wrong in ever state/country that has carry laws.

"In a 1998 book, More Guns, Less Crime, economics researcher John Lott's analysis of crime report data claims a statistically significant effect of concealed carry laws on crime, with more permissive concealed carry laws correlated with a decrease in overall crime. Lott studied FBI crime statistics from 1977 to 1993 and found that the passage of concealed carry laws resulted in a murder rate decrease of 8.5%, rape rate decrease of 5%, and aggravated assault reduction of 7%

In a 2003 article, Yale Law professors John J. Donohue III and Ian Ayres have claimed that Lott's conclusions were largely the result of a limited data set and that re-running Lott's tests with more complete data (and nesting the separate Lott and Mustard level and trend econometric models to create a hybrid model simultaneously calculating level and trend) yielded none of the results Lott claimed.[105] However Lott has recently updated his findings with further evidence. According to the FBI, during the first year of the Obama administration the national murder rate declined by 7.4% along with other categories of crime which fell by significant percentages.[107] During that same time national gun sales increased dramatically. According to Mr. Lott 450,000 more people bought guns in November 2008 than November 2007 which represents a 40% increase in sales, a trend which continued throughout 2009.[106] The drop in the murder rate was the biggest one-year drop since 1999, another year when gun sales soared in the wake of increased calls for gun control as a result of the Columbine shooting"

If you had a gun, someone comes at you with a bat and you choose to not arm yourself in defense of someone attempting to harm/kill you that's your choice. I choose to protect my life.

Technically I think they can do that already on the older trains.. The seats are made of durable plastic, so.. yeah. That's the only thing thats no some sort of plastic/metal in the whole car. Just don't spray the signs above.

Except all the heating element is underneath the train. I don't think they want to pressure wash the interior. Can you imagine current smell + moldy spares.. no thanks.

Like it or not Fare gates should cut down # of people on the system. You don't often see unkempt people that often on gated transits.. Translink should also ticket people with food and drink. It makes a huge difference when the trains are not dining halls or hipster coffee joints on wheels.

Best way to deal with public transport; shave your head, sport 5 o'clock shadow, develop head/face scars, sport a generally displeased look on your face, and DO NOT AVOID EYE CONTACT.

You don't quite end up looking like the "normal people" and you don't quite look like a "weirdo", it's the best of both worlds. Only downside, the opposite sex tends to group you in the rapists, which has really been hurting my otherwise airtight pimp game.

Criminals can and have already armed themselves with prohibited weaponry, they have automatic rifles and handguns with 30> round magazines while we are limited to semi automatic handguns and rifles capped to 5/10 rounds, of which we cannot legally carry anyway. The same goes for melee weapons, including certain knives.

A violent offender's worst nightmare is an armed civilian, arming the public produces paranoia within the criminal circle, you never know if the person you are thinking of going after will be able to turn the tables on you. That paranoia is what slows down the rate at which violent crimes are committed.

Would you mug someone who might be carrying a loaded handgun, or a combat knife? You wouldn't if you knew for sure, you would be scared to find out if you didn't. Look at all the cases where a thief tries to rob a store, only to have his weapon turned against him, he either begs for mercy or runs for his life.

It's actually legal to use a device to defend yourself. Where that legality falls apart is when you stop using it to disarm or chase away the assailant and start causing more harm "than necessary."

It's illegal to walk around wearing armor. Or atleast I have been told it is. Some people have said otherwise, but they were generally idiots so I discredited them.

EDIT: Just researched, and it is indeed ILLEGAL to wear armor in the province of BC.

Although yes drug dealers obviously do regardless, they don't give a shit about laws, I mean they break so many everyday that who gives a shit at that point...

I've lived here for like 3-4 years now and It's very rare that I feel unsafe. Maybe some of you folks haven't been to a real ghetto. Spent most of my youth living near downtown regina, aka the 3rd worst neighborhood in canada, after the two other shitty neighborhoods near downtown regina. Anywhere in vancouver can't even compare for violence. For a city of this size, it's incredibly safe. Shit, I was walking home drunk as shit last night through east hastings, playing with my phone and my ipod. Not a single fuck was given anywhere while people shot up on the corner i was on. In fact, besides petty crimes like my bike getting jacked or my car getting rummaged through, i haven't been jumped in this city. I was jumped like 3 times back in regina when i was a god damn kid. Here, i have yet to feel that threat.

but ya, the skytrain can get pretty greasy. But they have a tight ass budget.

This is so true, I mean the skytrain is pretty dirty, but I think the system as a whole is still incredibly safe. I mean when I rode the train I rarely felt in any sort of state that I even had to worry about someone on the train, and I used to ride late trains and into some of the worst stations on the line.

Also yes, vancouver doesn't truly have a "ghetto". There is of course a poor neighborhood, and yes it has a huge drug proliferation and all those symptoms. But you will not go to the bronx, or compton and see a bentley parked on the street, or a maserati rolling around non-nonchalant. The truth is that even the worst areas of Vancouver are still incredibly safe and well policed.

This is all relative of course, I mean I am by no means saying these areas are perfect, but comparatively, we are doing a pretty good job here in Van.

Bull.

Next you'll be saying that the possibility of being executed (death penalty) is a "violent offender's worst nightmare". The death penalty has sure driven murder rates to an all-time low. Oh wait, it hasn't.

Criminals don't take into account the consequences of their actions when they're committing crimes. Putting guns into regular people's hands won't change the attitude of a criminal one bit.

The last thing I want is the Skytrain or streets full of people carrying guns who aren't trained in how to react to a life threatening situation. Just because you've been to the range and are a great shot has no bearing on how you'll react in the real world.

The two are very different, you're right in assuming that some criminals lack the capacity to know the consequences of their actions. The death penalty and the right to carry for self defense are not the same. Even though criminals are generally dumb, they still know that the death penalty can only be issued after they are found guilty of a crime, whereas facing a man with a gun could be an instant death sentence, lacking a judge or jury.

Criminals in states that allow the death penalty know that the justice system can be influenced by a variety of circumstances and decisions. In a system where any licensed individual could issue the death penalty at will, I would expect the least intelligent criminal to show some sort of restraint.

It's surprising to me that you would assume that the government would simply allow anyone to carry a gun (or that I believe they should). While I do believe in the right to self defense, I would still expect it to be reliant on whether a man or woman could pass a government run training course when the means to defense is a firearm.

At the end of the day, whether it prevents crime or not, I'd rather have the ability to carry something that would better enable me to defend myself. That's not to say that I would carry a knife, gun, or baton with me every day of my life, but I would like the choice to be present.
