I highly disagree. The American agenda of using fear and propaganda to bend the will of the people to suit their needs is being demonstrated right here. The Gaurdian angels ARE a vigilante group, who do they report to? Three months of training, yeah i feel safer already. Seeing their leader oppose our safe needle disposal program was the clincher. they need to realize YOU CAN NEVER STOP ADDICTION or the drug and prostitution trades, is it better for the people afflicted by this problem on the bottom rung dispose of their needles on the ground, so everyone has a chance of stepping on one? the angels say that it makes drug use almost leagal and encourages it, please, the boxes simply create a safer community for parents and their children. As for them being role models, they are a gang, and i'm sure they use some unsavory tactics to achieve their goals, but who would find out because who do they report to...themselves. We need to find a solution to these problems, yes they will more than likely liberal ideas but the times they are a changing. Sending a gang after another gang is not the answer, brute force is not the answer, intimidation and fear won't solve anything and the "Crime Problem" isn't even bad downtown, they have inflated the issue and exaggerated the facts it's absurd. Let the police do their job, we already have a huge police force with yet another hiring drive, and we're the only city in Canada to have 2 police helicopters, why do we need a helicopter in the air 24/7? A new social policy must be tabled to ease the tensions and try to build a new future for those addicted to hard narcotics, violence and being "tough" aren't the answer, it will escalate before it alleviates.
