Oad says he has removed a wire cash transfer business from his store because of the violence. Police warned him weeks earlier of people carrying guns in the neighborhood, and he believes unemployment and addiction are fueling the violence. The unemployment rate in British Columbia jumped to 7.25 percent in February, up from 4.4 percent last February.

this guy can believe what ever the hell he wants, but he's sadly misinformed. the violence around town is a gang war for control of the drug trade during the 2010 games. suffice to say, there's gonna be a hell of a party here, and everyone wants their cut.

In one particularly brazen shooting last month, a mother was shot dead in her husband's luxury vehicle in broad daylight as her 4-year-old sat in the back seat. Hundreds turned out to protest gang violence last month after the string of shootings.

yeah, odd. it didn't mention that her husband and her were both known to police for suspected gang activity, AND that her husband was facing weapons related charges. seems like they're playing it out as though she was an innocent bystander in all of it.
