ReeferMadness Posted March 10, 2013 Report Posted March 10, 2013 Are people in Calgary deaf or are the Calgary police a little slow? Officers were called to a home in the 7000 block of California Boulevard at 10:30 a.m. MT after a woman discovered numerous bullet holes in the side of her house, as well as spent rounds inside the home. Police don't know what time the gunfire took place, but say it happened sometime between 9 p.m. Friday until 10 a.m. on Saturday morning. 30 shots fired and they aren't even sure when? http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/story/2013/03/09/calgary-bullets-monterrey.html?cmp=rss Quote Unlimited economic growth has the marvelous quality of stilling discontent while preserving privilege, a fact that has not gone unnoticed among liberal economists. - Noam Chomsky It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it. - Upton Sinclair
DogOnPorch Posted March 10, 2013 Report Posted March 10, 2013 There are places in BC where you can literally climb small mountains of spent shotgun shells. Alberta, too, I'd imagine. Our idea of enforcement is a sign that says 'No Shooting'. Don't think it's working... Quote Nothing cracks a turtle like Leon Uris.
eyeball Posted March 10, 2013 Report Posted March 10, 2013 Yep, I recall the bullet riddled stop signs on the logging road/highway crossings that my kids school bus had to transit. Our idea of enforcement is a sign that says 'No Shooting'. Don't think it's working... Like our idea of controlling guns by using a registry. We know that didn't work either... In any case, this one seems to be about people shooting at each other in a gunfight. Odds are really really good it was fighting over drug profits. Maybe a drug registry would better control that than enforcement? Quote I said now watch what you say they'll be calling you a radical, a liberal, oh fanatical criminal
ReeferMadness Posted March 10, 2013 Author Report Posted March 10, 2013 Hang on, now. I grew up in a rural area and yes, it was common to hear gunfire and see spent casings. However, this is not a rural area - it appears to be in the midst of a group of cul-de-sacs. Check out the picture.
