Just no words for the stupidity of some people.

That's ridiculous. A 24 yr old punk beating a 66 yr old man.
How impatient can a guy be over backing up a boat in a laneway?

That's another sad, and tragic Story, of being in the wrong Place at the wrong Time !
Wow 15 Murders in Winnipeg so far this Year, and it's not even halfway through the Year .

What I find ironic, is I have a Girlfriend who lives in Winnipeg, and for some reason is too scared to travel to Mexico ? LOL
But, She feels safe in Winnipeg ?
I don't think many Mexican Visitors would be considering Winnipeg, as a safe Stopover, on a Trip to Canada .
These are the Stats...
That's about 1.5 times the Population of Manitoba .
I can't confirm It, but, I'm pretty sure 15 Canadians didn't lose their Lives while Travelling to Mexico in 2018 ?
Where's the Safer place to be ?
Cheers
P.S. Shit happens Everywhere...
4 Canadians lost their Lives in Vegas, just over a year, and a half ago !

This assault was in a grungy area, much akin to the pits of Surrey. Nowhere near the worst of Winnipeg.
Winnipeg has a huge meth problem, a lot of guns, a lot of pimping almost all by our flourishing street gangs. Denial is preventing any real action.
As long as the rich folks in Pallister’s Lindenwoods area are safe absolutely nothing will be done.4

I believe you are thinking the other end of Burrows, near Main Street. This happened in Tyndall Park. Solid middle class neighbourhood. Great schools, average homes in the $350,000 to $450,000 range. Well above grungy for Winnipeg.
Its not just Winnipeg. Its is all over. Little Johnny from down the street has moved out of his parents house and is cooking something to make money...
Too many people thinking that drugs don't hurt them, until its too late. But hey they are making the drug dealers lots of money, at 35% more because the drug dealers are not taxed.....
Violence is not the answer.

My sympathy is completely with the victim and not with the asshole who hit him.
It is worth noting though, if that 24 year old idiot had shown a bit of patience this would never have happened.
Now he has ruined his own life as well.

I actually hope so. One of my biggest concerns is the antisocial/ narcissistic tendencies that social media has been creating.
I think this Question has to be asked once again ?

25 more Murders in Winnipeg since this Thread was posted .
What the Hell is going on in that City ?
Cheers
That city was already up to its eyeballs in meth when I left in 2006. It’s only gotten worse...
It’s a hellhole full of drugs built on indigenous burial ground. Some of the cops are more crooked than the drug dealers. What can go wrong?
My time there wasn't all awful. I enjoyed riding my bmx around the city late at night during the summer. The legislature building is a recreation of Solomon's Temple. It was a nice area to go sit and think in the middle of the night and not be bothered.
My time in that city is what challenged and conquered the atheism that once lurked inside me.

Hell indigenous burial grounds are everywhere...they are all over Vancouver, they are just forgotten.
I know the locations of half a dozen around here, one on my property.....I didn't realize you where so superstitious Miss H.
I've met plenty of crooked cops....plenty of drug dealers, and both are dangerous....two fold when they see eye to eye and work together.....and one will eventually try to consume the other, as it becomes their nature.
There was a meth shack up here in the valley bottoms, tucked away so nobody would bother them....they where users themselves. One day someone reported them missing, seems they wandered off into the mountains, they never re-surfaced.
It is common opinion they became part of the food chain, I don't agree with the local lore, I think they sat under a tree in a drug induced stupor, and simply froze to death...I've seen wolves leave behind diseased or tainted carcasses.....it seems we could learn a thing or two from Wolves, as they discard the problems from the social order....I think some Hunter will find those Meth heads intact and freeze dried, like a dry roasted peanut.
I am truly concerned for the next generation.....we are allowing the tainted to rule like they have majority, and justification, due to their self induced coping mechanisms.
Yet the common tax paying citizen, is afraid to leave their homes at night in some areas, as they are afraid they may become victims....and the laws set out to protect those people, are manipulated by Liars ( Lawyers) to reduce the severity of the punishment....for the very person that committed a horrible act, while high on a self induced drug.
The Government now looks at them as they have a disability.....the drugs is how they cope with trauma.
I live in an place of black and white....there is no grey area.
Break into my house when I am home....you'll have a disability.
I'm not going to come on here and pretend that Winnipeg is not without it's problems and we are in the midst of a significant increase in the murder rate.
That said Winnipeg is no more dangerous or safe than any other large city on North America for the average citizen. All big cities have their problems.
Of the recent (this year) murders, the vast majority are committed by someone with 1 degree of separation from the victim or a gang beef. What gangs used to settle with fists they now settle with a gun. We see this all over the country. I know a few detectives who have worked Major Crimes. They have told me for years, that they pretty well know within 24 hours who did the murder or violent assault for that matter. It sometimes takes a few days to catch them but they know who did it.
I have lived here, except for a 7 year period in the 70's/80's when I was away at university and my first job, for my entire life. I have never felt threatened in any of my comings and goings
I grew up in an area many would consider "rough" and where a lot of the current crime occurs. There area still way more honest people who just want to raise their families than bad people. Are there areas I would not venture after dark? Yes but then again that can be said for any city. I remember almost 30 years ago getting lost in Seattle and ending up in a Black neighborhood. I stopped to ask directions and was told I better get the hell out ASAP if I knew what was good for me.
I was in Montreal last week. Walked all over downtown. Lots of panhandlers and homeless all over the place. The same goes for Edmonton, Saskatoon, Toronto, Boston, New Orleans, Chicago, Dallas, Charlotte, etc. I could go on.
Yes we have a major Meth issue right now which is fueling the violence. So do lots of places. But random crime and what outsiders may be interpreting based on the stories reported is not the reality for 95% of the citizenry and no worse than anywhere else.

Aside from the meth problem and the cold winters, Winnipeg isn't too bad
At least there I could see the Northern lights and they had REAL thunderstorms. I don't get to experience either in Vancouver
And what I paid for insurance on a new car was a fraction of what I pay in BC on a beater.
