To the teenagers who don’t live in my building but hang out in it all hours of the day and night: Grow the fuck up! You don’t live here, why do you hang out here?? The landlord kicks the 5+ of you out (of course you’re never alone, thats how you get away with harassing people, no one wants to talk back to a group) and then you come back and light fireworks in the hallways, or light things on fire in the laundry room, or better yet (please note the sarcasm) light random things on fire in the entranceway and leaving them to burn!
Where the fuck did you grow up thinking that this is right? You are NOT paying to live here, and vandalizing the place is your way of “showing the landlord who’s boss”? I don’t understand you people. We can call the cops, but they will just give you a slap on the wrist again and again! I have never felt safe living in this building (bullet holes in the entranceway, shootings every few weeks, etc), moving is not really an option, and people have only so many options when finding a place to live in this city and I really hate that I’m forced to share a space with you even though you don’t live here. —Go the Fuck Home and Take Your Gun with You

That’s what happens when you live in Fairview 🙁
Bishop’s Landing has really gone downhill since I moved out…
What do you mean “you people”?
ocean towers?
Highfield Park? Cowie Hill?
WTF? Moving is not an option? Geezuz, then live with your hell and STFU.
Moving really should be an option.
..phone the cops EVERY time you see them..eventually the police will put some fear into them
Beat the shit out of them. Teens need a good ass kicking to let them know adults run shit.
i still say that they should bring back the old open sidearm law. let you openly wear a gun on you. o.p, you can get a gun permit for personal protection, but you have to go thru a bunch of shit for it.
i’ve had mine for years, since i worked for pinkerton’s, and never let it expire. i can openly carry my .44 magnum anywhere in canada, and there isn’t a fucking thing the cops can do. except ask me for license and shit. maybe if everyone had their own weapon on them, then personal crime, would drop by a wide margin, and violent crimes would too. think about it a minute here? would you fuck with someone, who was allowed to carry a weapon, and you knew it was on them.? most sane people would back the fuck off. and the summit, was about the only day, i didn’t have my little snub .38 on me ivan, forgot to mention that before.
This bitch is stupid.
security footage? something you can report perhaps???
and this isn’t fairview… they don’t shoot people in fairview.
they can’t afford the ammo.
Preston, perhaps?
Moving really is an option OP!
Buy a house, or move into a higher scale condo. Little punk fucks like that plague the poorer areas of this city like fat fucks at a donut dumpster.
@ Pretty-Kitty…Dear you must mean “North Preston”…big misconception, but those of us living in “Preston” have not had a shooting or robbery or any other violent crime in about 50 years!!
