On April 14, Surrey chief superintendent Bill Fordy said that officers with his force and Delta Police have concluded that 11 of the 19 shootings up to that point were linked to South Asian and Somali gangs involved in low-level drug trafficking.

Fordy said at the time that victims have refused to cooperate, making statements such as:

• "The bullets fell from the sky."

• "Don't you worry about it...No need for you cops to be here."

This weekend's murder came one night after shots were fired around 65 Avenue and 121 Street in Surrey.

These are "third world" values at work. Before the era of Political Correctness; people would just call this uncivilized (or worse) and the worst sort of criminals. Canada didn't have crime like this before mass immigration from countries whose cultural and social pardigms where honesty, being fair to other people, courtesy to others is NOT practiced.

The blame for this Destruction of Canada and her social cohesion rest squarely on the shoulders of those in elected office and pressure/lobby groups co-opting them.
