I'm not disagreeing with you. I'm all for more patrols, safer streets, better lighting and sidewalks, etc. It's almost like the city has pretty much given up on cleaning up the mess that's here. Can we blame that idiotic mayor from Bedford?

Too heavy, and too conspicuous. I'd bus' a cap in yo ass before you'd even found the igniter.

Ninja stars. Gases. Hypnotic suggestion. Psychokinetics.

Ineffective as anything other than a distraction. Even if you land a good one, you're just likely to make someone angry.

A bullet between the eyes is the best form of therapy for these poor, misunderstood youths.

SMG all the way then. Hose the bastids!

Ooh, .50 cal. flintlock!

Bazooka. Get the job done. We can graft some makeshift mobile fired rocketmissile tactics off the Iraqi insurgents, too, heheheh

Yogic flying.

Finally, something I can relate to. One time I saw Doug Henning in Las Vegas, or perhaps it was Lake Tahoe. Anyway, somewhere with lots of gambling and hookers. And sparkly jumpsuits.

Way over their heads.

Exactly! That's the point.

Rendering himself mostly obscure was another of Doug Henning's powers:

You're missing the point, using a bazooka or a 50cal in close quarters is problematic, and you'd probably lose to someone with a pool ball in a sock.

However, a good solution might be to find some nice high ground with a good view of the commons, get yourself a nice little sniper rifle, and just wait for the little shits to start something on an innocent passer by.

Today I tried to go see my friend what got jumped recently. You have to toss pebbles at his 2nd story window -- this has gone on for years. Anyway, the cops told me to 'stop throwing rocks...'. I explained myself and he complained that he 'does want to have to fill out a property damage report...'. I'm no cop-hater but that incident standing next to many incidents of people getting fucked up by thugs, and individual cops as well as the police as whole not really responding to it like they should, is pretty fucking disheartening. It's almost encouraging vigilate justice. In my time as a bike messenger I've resorted to dancing the vigilante watussi a bunch and have been charged twice! For defending myself! Paid a fine in Hfx and dodged the charges in Mtl. Thanks Bruce Wark for highlighting the cops' negligence... Craig, it'd be cool if you and others did the same to put pressure on the cops to do something. Nothing would suck more than going to jail for defending yourself.

Putting cops in the Commons is a horrible idea.

There is more violence downtown any given night due to drunk bar patrons than there ever is on the commons. It just isn't reported nearly as often. I've lived in two high crime zone areas in the downtown core: above European at Pizza corner, and Argyle St a block up from the dome. Cops were never present and fights occured EVERY night. Usually college kids . Now i live in the North end near Uniacke and i feel much much safer leaving and returning to my house late at night.(til they put the police office in the square, now i'm paranoid about getting a $117 fine most nights). I think people are just getting all uptight because they think it was probably "gangstas" performing these swarmings. Deal with downtown, it's a bigger problem. I don't want cops around the commons when i feel like smoking a joint or drinkin a beer or walking my dog off the leash.

True. Okay, I return to the pet raptor. And killer bees controlled by remote chips, too, mwhuahahahahahhaha!!!!!!!!
