Another Shooting

**B17a** · 01-20-2003, 09:47 AM

WTF is with Calgary these days? We're turning into straight outta Compton.

At 330 on January 19 2003, numerous shots were heard in the
area of 12 Avenue and 1 St SE. Police responded to the area
and found that a male had been shot at by a group of males.
Police found evidnce of numerous shots being fired and the
victims car with several bullet holes in it. The male was
also wounded but is not in life threatening condition.

It is too early to tell if this shooting is related to the
recent street gang activity.

More information will be released as the investigation
progresses.

True. But they were all Asian and this is atypical for Calgary, I'd be concerned, this has all the ear marks of an Asian gangwar, a la, Edmonton style.

Ever since all this started happening the Calgary Sun always has a HUGE expose on fighting gang war and what Jack Beaton is doing to combat it.

We're still not half as bad as Edmonton though.

Both the Calgary news channels showed a few interviews with police and they were all stressing that they were asian...

LOL, i'm not completely informed about the situation, they might actually be stressing it. However I noticed that whenever someone says Black or asian or whatever people always jump up and say they're being racist or something. It's like when there's a rapist or something they say caucasian, are they stressing it or just telling facts?

If it was russian's or jews or puerto rican or anything I'm sure they'd mention it.

I don't think people jumping to conclusions, only the dumb ones. I think the majority of people are just concerned that the media is giving a stereotype to Asian people. Being a young Asian male, it proves even harder to not drive around a nice car and not getting followed for it. You know what I mean? I'm saying you gotta be in their shoes to see how it is.

**Hakkola** · 01-20-2003, 05:23 PM

Yeah, but I get followed around for driving a nice car too. You're not the only ones.

m@+CH · 01-20-2003, 05:25 PM

its not the fact that u're young azn male that u get into SH#@^@
It's the guys who think they're so hard and rule the earth...
they're the ones who bring it on themselves...
if u really that hard !! then u wouldnt' do all the dirty wrk in seeking revenge in the first place.
u'll get your peops to deal wit it

**max_boost** · 01-20-2003, 05:33 PM

Well if you wear all black, have long blonde bangs and like to stare at people, yes they are stereotyping that description of a asian male! Other wise, society is not going to make such judgements imo. Working in a Chinese Restaurant catering to 99.9% white folks, I have yet to have one customer mention anything about the shootings to me.

**Hakkola** · 01-20-2003, 05:41 PM

I don't think it's even the bangs or skin colour at all when you get followed, it's because your in a nice car, but it helps to be dressed well, I've been followed plenty of times, but it was only really bad one of the times when I was dressed like a thug and had lots of friends in the car, I think usually I look like a nice kid and still get my plates checked from time to time.

**Hollywood** · 01-20-2003, 05:46 PM

One thing I that sucks is now with these asian related shootings, that this summer cops are going to be extra tough on any asian driving a modded import. Watch you will see. Not to mention the increase of police involvement against modded import drivers as a whole. Only the track will be safe!

It will be all most as bad as being flagged, like I am.

**hinggu** · 01-20-2003, 06:03 PM

It seems to me that every time I hear about the shootings or anything asian related, they always have to mention the asian background. I don't think it is really necessary to mention the asian. I noticed this in the Calgary Sun the most!
And Hollywood is right, it will get tougher for asians driving imports. Cops always question me already when I get pulled over.

It's homework for me to find out whats going on around the city all day, I spend a good portion of my time reading news and watching TV...can't remember where I've gotten a lot of this but City beat has some good facutal info and the news papers and TV generally will publish what they want the public to know...try a couple different sites to get the whole story
