Well Tony and I had a great lunch and caught up on each others lives a bit ... it was PACKED and the owners of the restaurant are very nice people
I emigrated from Jamaica 30 yrs ago and even back then in Kingston if you decided you would not eat in a restaurant because something bad had happened there you would starve It is not like this restaurant in SE Calgary is a known gang hangout .... it is just a restaurant that happens to serve some very good Vietnamese food I will definately be going back next week as a friend of mine that I used to work with wants to go now that I gave him a review of the soup

It certainly would hit close to home for most people. Perhaps if you grow up in terrible areas such as the downtown east side here in Vancouver then maybe something like this is the norm and you can continue with your day as nothing happened...oh wait, for all the problems down there, there are not too many murders... I worked right on the edge of the downtown east side here and never got used to it. I lived in Miami where there are basically murders everyday. I lived in Toronto that makes Vancouver look very safe...Who cares? If it happens in your neigborhood, you should be shocked and it should hit close to home...when it doesn't anymore, there is a problem. What difference does it make that in other parts of the world murder is the norm? I don't understand this logic and find it very ignorant. Just because its worse somewhere else doesn't mean you ignore the problems close to home. So since Colombia or Africa have major violence problems, we are not suppose to be shocked when it happens in our neighborhoods? LOL. Unless of course you have seen someone shot point blank...
