On the BPS media release for yesterday, there was another case involving men with machetes and uttering threats:
How is that different from going to The Forks in Winnipeg, where someone at random may just pull out a machete and start whacking at someone?

Yes, The Forks is "supposed" to be a family oriented, touristy, safe place...then gangs see one another and don't give a crap about behaving themselves.
Too many machete incidents in the downtown/west end/ north end to specifically pick one from, but the point is, criminal activity is, or can be anywhere at any time.
Who runs after someone into a hospital and shoots wildly and randomly at that person? These idiots...

Meanwhile, the Mayor, CoW councillors, certain legal & judicial system members, et al, say & claim that downtown is safe, these are "random acts of violence", blah blah blah...
Same as Brandon, Winnipeg has it's share of incidents which can happen anywhere at seemingly any time.
