Here's a clip from the KatKam.ca a few minutes ago. Looks like the Pride Parade is on today!
The violence isn't so bad. I still feel safe walking alone in most of the city. Even Main and Hastings is fine during the day. I was down there for a friend's gig a few nights ago and the four of us girls felt fine walking down Columbia to the ATM machine. There were cops EVERYWHERE, just saying hi to the homeless people and keeping a presence.
