Why can't they get it?

Submitted by David Borden on
Spike in Violence tied to shifting alliances.So read the heading on an article in the Vancouver Province newspaper on Tues.Mar.18'08.The article goes on to make assertions that gangs are becoming multi-ethnic and therefore now know where each other live and therefore have access to each other and thus the killings.The thinking is so convoluted and ridiculous that only someone with no clue would make such assertions.There's been word of a UN gang in the paper for years.Now it's a new thing and the reason for all the shooting.It's a drug turf war .It's no mystery.If these guys would just read a book about the twenties in Chicago they'd have more of a clue than what's purported in this editorial piece of crap.Our illustrious Prime Minister was here a few days back and left the promised money for more police he's been promising.Soon after,Wally Opal ,our attorney general was saying that the money would be better spent on task forces looking into organized crime.I guess this is a try at making a case for that.It doesn't make a lick of sense but that never stopped Wally ,ever.One day these people are going to have an epiphany and realise that it's prohibition that causes all this blood shed.
