    property crime, in north america ,yes we do

    4x that of new york

    and the news says the reason is how we treat criminals when they are caught

    we here know that,,,young man,,,with others, about 15 months ago,,beat up boy at gathering for no reason, taking axe to his back, paralyzing him for life

    the criminal got to have house sentence for 18 months which will amount to about 11 months,,living with his parents in luxury house

    argh, i am so frustrated with this all

    no, he got 25 yrs without parole, will be 83 when he is elligible for parole,,,:)

    and has about 20 more cases ahead of him, if they decide to prosecute

    no,

    he got 25 yrs without parole, will be 83 when he is elligible for parole,,,:)

    Still, 6 murders that he's convicted of, and he can get out? Absurd. Yes, I understand, he's never gonna get out because of those 20 other murders, but?

    How can you have a high crime rate with guns so restricted there? A background check before that axe purchase may have prevented that victim from serious injury.

    C'mon the next thing after that ? Will be a 1-800 can I take a crap now ? Give me a break if we have to go through a background check for every little implement that could kill someone we would be screwed.

    I believe the quote was property crime and not gun crime.

    According to the national statistics, USA ranks #1 in assault and Canada is 6th; #1 in car theft with Canada in 6th place; #6 in murders (India, Russia, Columbia,South Africa and Mexico are the top 5) and Canada is 26th - and these are overall stats for the country.

    East Vancouver is one of the scariest places on the planet I've ever visited. And I've been to New York.

    Oldflame, I was illustrating absurity by being absurd. Countries that have a very low violent crime rate do so by restricting the criminals and not any given tool that could be used as a weapon.
