i heard the citizens of Prince Rupert are begging President Trump to send in USA national guard troops ... [joke]
oh MY!
What is crime like in Ketchikan?
So, what's the real issue? The perpetrators of constant shoplifting and vandalism, strong-arm assaults, and drug use are easily identified,
even in a backwater town like Prince Rupert.
Conclusion? A soft on crime approach is leading to the economic and societal collapse of this rustic community.
Prince Rupert is a major Container port, particularly for Asian products going east to Toronto
I imagine there is some connection to Asian triads and Mexican cartels who have set up in British Columbia
Not that long ago, Prince Rupert was being talked up as the site of a big new port for transloading containers from ships to railcars. The bloom is apparently off the rose, if bloom there ever was.
We can be sure the city is run by lefties.
Reminds me of San Francisco where entire aisles in Target and Safeway are behind locked acrylic barriers, making it truly inconvenient for shoppers. I had to wait for someone in Target to unlock an acrylic barrier so I could look at a $12 watch band.
Far easier to order off of Amazon.
Yes, I know this is Canada, but it's the same phenomena as in the US. After three generations of LBJs Great Society we have multiple generations of fatherless feral people with no skills, an appetite for any and all drugs, and no pride in them selves. Is it any wonder communities turn into sewers.
Shirt heads will keep breaking the law until it becomes too uncomfortable for them.
....the town of 12,000 has become an unlikely breeding ground for crime, drugs and homelessness.

Unlikely?? Drugs and the cartels have decimated many of the small towns in Canada in the past dozen or so years.
