YVR shooting
Squidward von Squidderson:
The Indo-Canadian gangs have been shooting each other up at an alarming rate lately on the Lower Mainland. The latest one was at the Vancouver International Airport in front of several witnesses, in broad daylight outside a relatively busy terminal.

The police were shot at. The criminals took off in a Honda Pilot, which the police failed in their attempts to stop, or even to follow. They got away clean. They found the vehicle several hours later burnt up.
What stellar police work.[/sarcasm]
It makes me realize the severe lack of security that is at our biggest airport where someone can shoot the place up and get virtually no resistance from the cops on site. And the cops responding failed to come close to capturing them. I’m pretty sure Vancouver has a police helicopter somewhere? Maybe at YVR???

There are very few ways in and out of Sea Island where YVR is located.
Extremely pathetic law enforcement response.

Sort of agree but any time there is an innocent bystander hurt in a police chase, the police wind up in ****. They really can't chase anyone now, about all they can do is try and lay spike belts and hope perps run over them. It seems crazy after someone has been shot and killed but that is what we have come too.

It looks pretty cool on TV shows, but IRL when I see American police having shootouts in busy areas I'm aghast.
RCMP were chasing the vehicle when they were shot at. I don't know, I'm happy they didn't fire back and endanger people by continuing the chase.
Skip the first 9 minutes

On another note, these shootings are getting very troublesome. That's 10 in the last 3 weeks. One of the ones that really hit close to home (literally) was Town Centre Park in the basketball court which sits right beside a busy playground and skate park. It's my daughter's favourite park and we used to go there a few times a week. Vancouver is getting out of control with the gang violence.

This is clearly a mistake, since Canada's government has taken Tough Action On Gun Violence tm.
