In Vancouver, BC, the worries for the safety of the Olympic Winter Games 2010 increase: Shootings increasingly rattle Vancouver through rapidly escalating gang fights, because it has become a center for the international drug trade. Vancouver’s slogan for the Winter Games is “The best town in the world” – these gang fights are hardly the picture the city wants to present to the world. But violent groups, which dispose of an astonishingly large arsenal of weapons, increasingly terrorize the region. In the first 16 days alone of February 2009, there were 12 gunfights which ended deadly for 7 persons. The Canadian Minister of Safety declared Vancouver as “the center of the largest number of groups of organized criminality [in Canada]”.
The costs for the safety during the Olympic Games are currently estimated at more than $700 million (!), more than 5 times the original estimate. It is even considered to ask the US for air surveillance during the Games. Also, additional prisons are built so that criminals do not any longer have to be released because of over population of existing prisons.
More and more gang members protect themselves with armored vehicles and bullet proof vests, and use these means to carry out their mission which is dominance in the drug market. This is not a local phenomenon anymore, these are internationally operating gangs, including an Indo-Canadian gang smuggling heroin from Afghanistan via India to Canada. In addition, Canada has become a large exporter of the designer drug Methamphetamine. It could also be noted that Vancouver has become of the largest Chinese cities outside of China.
The warfare in Vancouver is not limited anymore to certain areas of the city such as the infamous Downtown Eastside area, it has spread into most other areas, including residential areas, substantially impacting the safety of the population.
So, here's an example of very liberal policies as far as immigration.........Is this coming to a town near YOU? Is this what we're facing? And HOW CAN WE STOP THIS?
This is a translation from Sueddeutsche Zeitung....by Mr. Z, who thought this kind of information should be known not only in Germany but in America, too. Thanks, Mr. Z

What?? Janet Napolitano is in charge of Vancouver, too?
Try visiting a sanctuary city near you. That's how close it is. In our own backyards.
And, what are the mayors, police chiefs, and local politicians doing?
They're fiddling while their cities smolder. They're doing the "important" things like banning smoking, or removing soft drink machines from schools. They're trying to "understand" the thugs. Yes, midnight basketball, that'll do the trick.
Never mind drive by shootings and the occasional five year old who get's caught in the crossfire.
Or the boy walking home from school who's wearing the "wrong" color shirt.
Never mind MS13 the Mexican gang mostly made up of illegal alien thugs. They need love too.
The mayor of Los Angeles actually said last year, "Los Angeles is as safe as it was in the 1950's." Now for you non-Californians or non-Angelenos, the Los Angeles of the 1950's was paradise compared to today.
I'd like to drive down the street we lived on in L.A., in the early 50's. I can't.
Sooner or later, the smoldering will erupt into a conflagration. It's only a matter of time. And the geniuses who are supposed to be in charge, will blame poverty, and a "sick society".
All I can say is, be prepared.

Mustang, perfect...
Pris, for our mayor to say anything THAT stupid takes REAL guts and an ignoring of the truth so profound I can't wrap my brain around it. Well, that's because he wasn't HERE in the '50's, I guess! And, who'd check? He speaks and the media applauds, no matter WHAT! WAS there a better place to live at that time? I don't think so...sadly, neither did the millions who flocked here.
And, NO ILLEGALS, just good, honest immigrants who wanted to live in the land of milk and honey and become Americans.
And, this is ALL because of the BIG LIBERAL OPEN HEART which welcomes anyone to break our laws, even PAYS them to break our laws! And they'll continue........
And the guilt of this whole thing is squarely on THEM.
But, we need to fix it....blame isn't helpful; we're soo far past blame and still, nobody's listening.
VANCOUVER. Imagine? Beautiful, clean and desirable VANCOUVER...not.
This needs to be stopped, and anyone with sense knows how.
PROTECT THE BORDERS, get our military down there and shoot to kill.
Any illegal gang member should be put to death.
Any drug dealer, the same, alien or not.
Perhaps that is harsh, but we've reached the point where our apathy has made it necessary, IMO.
As Brooke said, "anyone with sense knows how." Unfortunately that leaves Obama out!
We're in for it, I'm afraid. I'm glad I won't be going to the games in 2010.
oish..more to worry about..help Z!..lol
Read this!

Things are getting THIS bad all over the place, and we're doing THIS to a guy who stands up to BULLIES and CRIMINALS!
Brooke..I'm starting to think we HAVe to do something TOUGH, or...they'll win, hands down.
Gayle, me, too!
And Angel, ya..MORE to worry about...oy.
Canada has very much followed the lead of the Brits, who said "y'all come" to criminals, terrorists and other undesireables. Now the Brits don't know how to unring that bell.
Mustang: Never trust a Homeland Security secretary named after a type of ice-cream.
Mr. z didn't think the average person knew that Vancouver is drug central?
Been that way for a long time. You conservatives should get out more often.
Time for the conservatives to tell us how they are going to stop a business with a huge demand and huge profits.
Yes sir, time to get serious on the war on drugs.
Of course their largest achievement of late has been turning Afghanistan into on big heroin lab.
That might give them some insight to why thinking folks ignore their bluster.
incredible story here z... this is going to keep some of the athletes away....
All I know is, wherever liberal policies of any kind are in force, the standard of living goes down. This holds true for immigration and everything else. People should
do the math.
It is sad, everyone....this is definitely something that's not been well known.
Interesting that the Olympics Committee would pick a town that sounds more like Juarez or Tijuana with drug cartel wars than the kind of town safe enough to host an Olympics, isn't it.
My neighbor hails from British Columbia and usually goes there for a month every summer. As a fellow who loves sports, especially ice hockey, he's been crowing about the upcoming Olympic Games there -- with not a word about what is mentioned in this post. Perhaps my neighbor doesn't even know!
Oh, no, Always....Ducky knows better...your neighbor HAD to know because "everyone knows"
Gee, even one who does "get out more often"...to the actual CITY, hasn't mentioned something this bad. Go figure.
"Been that way for a long time. You conservatives should get out more often."
We tend not to need to know where drug central is.
I guess it's all in who you hang out with Ducky!

"Of course their largest achievement of late has been turning Afghanistan into on big heroin lab."
Afghanistan's heroin lab was there long before we got there.
Ducky, our guys are a little busy dodging bullets and suicide bombs.
Maybe Barack can talk the Afghanis out of it huh? I hear he has some experience with street drugs!
Pris
Pris, the Taliban turned him down. He wanted our guys to find the new ones but even the Taliban thought that was nuts.
I just hope that things don't get so serious in this country due to his inexperience and crummy people around him that we won't get through.
Remember, if conservatives try to stop him or guide him, we'll be called obstructionists and they'll sue. Wait for it.
"Shootings increasingly rattle Vancouver through rapidly escalating gang fights...."
I see gun control is working splendidly for Canada. /sarc
GOOD one, MK!! Always so wise!
I love that expression people are using lately.."So, you have gun control..HOW'S IT WORKING FOR YA!?"
Not so good!!
I know people do not want to hear it, but we need to go after the gangs like we did to the old gangsters in the 1920's.
Yes, war.
These people are terrorists.
WVDOTTR
I'm with you, WV.....we do.
Because, if WE don't, THEY will.
But, it's not okay for us, right!? :-)
