Recently there has been talk of making stiffer sentences for gang murders to send a message that public gang shootings are not acceptable. Although I am not entirely opposed to that idea, we still need to address the elephant in the room. Who is ordering the hits?

Locking them up for 300 years will do nothing to stop the surge in gang violence. The only thing that will address the violence is to charge the Edmonton Hells Angels for ordering th... read more
