GUNTER: Liberal bail reforms directly tied to soaring violent crime rates

“I am really, really concerned about the escalation of violence in our city, particularly the violent incidents that we have experienced, whether close to the Belvedere LRT station, or the random shooting that took place in the west end.”

That’s how Mayor Amarjeet Sohi summed up his concern two weeks ago after occupants in a luxury car engaged in three separate shootings in our city on July 15 and after 52-year-old Rukinisha Nkundabatware was murdered in a random stabbing at the Belvedere LRT station the previous week on July 9.
