if u r crim students, u should know crime rates are statistcally dropping in canada, try living in the states, there are places are even worse.

@fad7601 well as a crim student, I do realize crime rate don't tell anyhting about the community safety. More crime rate seems to be bad but it means more police are out there catching people, less crime rate seems good but it coud mean police is not doing their job. States could be worse in gun control and homicide and such but the whole point about this video is substance use and drug addiction. Also the fact that richest area in Vancouver is few blocks away from this Downtown Eastside of Van

you probably got bottled because you're wearing a leather jacket and filming like a douche bag.

Wouldn't it be easier and cost less money if you could have the military just sweep up all the bums in one day and night, throw em into a huge oil tanker and dump them on some uninhabited island somewhere? What is the point of these things existing? They are not human anymore.

This place is worse than NYC!!! (I'm a native NYer). About as bad as San Francisco's Tenderloin. Horrible place.

@mookixox read what i said.. "chemically altered nature"

[mookixox]

@PhilDesigns Being a crack head and throwing bottles at people is hardly 'human nature'.

[PhilDesigns]

@mookixox "this is Canada" can't defend against human nature, especially when you're throwing a man parading wealth wanting to exploit their chemically altered nature in an area where majority are drug addicted and or poor, they've got enough problems (by choice) and have found an area where they can muster away from people they know are living much better lives, some of them may be harmless but there are also those who are criminal minded and under the influence, so in a way he asked for it.
