Glad to see that even in metroplotan Calgary there are people aware of the
serious crime problem of Deadmonton.
Note that the poster had stated that the death RATE by murder in Deadmonton
was worse than in NYC - not that there were more dead.
As for warning signs about the crime increase in Deadmonton, just look at all
the police signs at every entrance of the Mall - WARNING ABOUT CAR-JACKINGS,
POSSIBLE MUGGINGS, AND THEFTS FROM CARS!!
Why did you not comment on the drastic increase in shootings, firebombings and
similar mayhem in Deadmonton this year?
Why not comment on the resident serial killer of prostitutes?
Why not comment on the disgraced police chiefs?
