My random banter for tonite.

a. Gangs are a problem in this city
b. The gangs we hear about are most commonly Asian gangs
c. The mayor says he wants more provincial funding to help fight gangs in our city
d. More funding isn't going to solve the situation at hand

The gangs we hear about are Asian - not Caucasian, not African-American, not Jewish. He says we shouldn't classify these gangs as just Asian and that the term only sensationalizes the issue at hand. But when that is the nationality we are told about, why can't the news report it and tell it like it is?

If I were a politician in Calgary I'd be talking about putting more police in neighbourhoods, reducing opportunities for crime, maintaining order, and involving community and business associations in crime-fighting.

The other thing Calgary must learn is to get beyond the Bronconnier-liberal obsession with "root causes" of crime and the politically correct refusal to identify criminal subcultures, even if it means defining them by race.

Our homicide problem is Asian youths killing each other over drugs and guns. You're never going to deal with the problem until you learn to talk about it honestly.
