Just bringing to attention why DTES is a mess, and as mentioned before, is a growing problem. If we keep letting people off so easily, we will always talk about DTES for generations to come.

Which part of the article about the arrest of an arsonist do you not comprehend? Show us the sugarcoated link about a "homeless accident" and then we can discuss further. And even if that were true, which I highly doubt, it is the lack of enforcement that enables a homeless person to set fire whenever he wants.

No more sugarcoating OK? You very well know what I was trying to convey here, but got emboldened to comment only because someone else lashed out at my posting? Bah!
