A Vancouver woman has been charged following last week’s fatal stabbing in Yaletown.

They post a photo of the victim but no photo of the suspect?

Exactly. And this was yet another random stranger attack.

It is time to reopen Riverview and stop the woke handwringing over these necessary institutions. I wonder of the victim could sue the city or province if the perp is one of the people moved into the hotels nearby?

It's reopened already. If the accused is found unfit to stand trial or not criminally responsible, (or guilty but needing to be assessed or treated under the Mental Health Act), that's likely where she'll end up going.

There had to have been some kind of altercation prior. It is extremely rare and extremely unlikely that she randomly chose somebody to kill. “Stranger attack” sounds sensational because it suggests it was a completely random act.

That being said, things are out of control. Police need to start doing sweeping arrests to keep these insane people in line if we are going to have them roaming the streets. Who’s running on the tough on crime initiative? They got my vote.

A little silent from you now that the truth is out, huh? Moral of the story here: never make premature conclusions.

Murderer was arrested at Hastings and Main: more likely from the DTES or a transient. Putting blame on Yaletown when the focus should be on the rot next door, or Vancouver's lousy policies in general: outsiders simply looooove to trash Yaletown.

You are making an assumption that this victim must have done something prior to get stabbed. Come on man...It sounds like it wasn't her first incident that day as there's also an assault charged linked to her.

We need to end the woke movement asap. Start arresting enmasse and confining these people in prisons. Decriminalizing drug use and giving free drugs is not working one bit. These are legitimately insane people on the streets, and they are past the stage of rehabilitation.

They said they released his photo so they could track down any interactions he might have had. I guess she was dropped out of the sky from a UFO so no photo of the lady.

Police released a photo of Mohrmann on Tuesday in the hopes that someone who saw him before the stabbing could contact police as they continue to gather evidence.

What a disgrace.

Everyone is pretending to be nice and tolerant until the shi* hits you square on the face.
I see a Woman walking down the street constantly judging the people around her being left alone until she starts swearing at people and beiing C*nt.

Sorry am I supposed to feel sorry for this rude woman?

Whenever you're walking around downtown these days, you have to be very aware of who is around you,
and generally you don't interact with strangers (ie asking for money, directions, yelling at the sky, swearing, etc.).

Hundreds of thousands of people walk and use downtown every day and one violent crime every few days is a crisis to you?
Just another day this thread reminds me that Vancouverites have NEVER experienced a city with real crime before.

Funny, every time I walk downtown I NEVER do this and never have needed to do this.
You see street homeless and drug addicts and instantly assume danger. They will leave you alone 99.9% of the time.

You don't need to watch yourself walking downtown, thats ridiculous, most of downtown is clean and safe, only DTES and chinatown are problematic and most people avoid those areas anyway.

Granville around Davie, West End is worse than Chinatown.

While the VPD has suggested incidents like this are increasing, Andersen believes they’re being highlighted more by police, in part to secure funding.

“There’s a bit of an increase, in the most recent years but Vancouver hasn’t become this post-apocalyptic city that some people seem to think is going on.”
The killer is in a secret plot to increase VPD funding.

From the Vancouver Sun...

"A person with the same name and birth year as Scott is facing an assault charge stemming from a separate incident in Vancouver on the same day as the fatal stabbing."

Looks like this meme applies directly to you when you deny all of the mainstream incidents being published on the daily on this thread at this point:
