Video cameras for bars?

City councillor Fred Bass says council may have to consider forcing all bars to install video cameras to help prevent a recurrence of the weekend shootings.

"We tape record people in all kinds of circumstances, certainly when they go to get money at a cash machine," he says. "So it makes some sense to me that we take a look at that."

The chair of BARWATCH ? which represents downtown club owners ? agrees, saying he doesn't think cameras would scare away customers.

"I think a greater deterrent is people getting killed," says John Teti. "You know, a great many people don't want to go to bars because they think they're unsafe."

Teti also thinks Vancouver should consider the system used in Phoenix, Arizona where patrons must swipe an ID card before entering a bar or club.

So much for the "violence-free society" bragging from canadian webmasters, eh? ;-))

JohnW · 08-18-2003, 03:16 PM

It's just around the corner Brad, and it's all people are talking about around here today.
Kinda scary for sure, but it was probably gang related. Somoeone wanted someone killed for some stupid reason.
Question is, what the hell do the bouncers at the door check for ? Obviously not enough since they're saying that there we at least 2 guns use in the altercation...

Evil1 · 08-18-2003, 03:22 PM

Thats impossible, didn't canada ban guns, ya cant have a shooting when guns are illegal.

JohnW · 08-18-2003, 03:30 PM

Yes, handguns are illegal to own, but that doesn't stop the criminals from owning them...You just can't go to Wal Mart and buy one like you can down there.

Again, it's the organized crime (Hells Angels, Eastern European Gangs, Asian Gangs, Middle Eastern Gangs, etc) that are usually the cause of shit like this. Not your average joe, who legally owns a gun and decides to shoot someone who looked at his girlfriend wrong...

The police suspect that they people killed were "targeted", and not randomly shot.

NOnono, micheal moore, million mom march, that brady guy told me if you just make guns illegal.. noone will get shot, it's just that simple. Criminals cant have handguns there, they are ILLEGAL, maybe someone should tell them.

Believe it or not...it is possible. But the thing is, for the most part, they aren't "Canadian". They're usually Eastern European, Asian (from China or Vietnam), or Middle Eastern (Iranian). All in the country thanks to our Swiss Cheese immigration system...Just claim refugee status and you're in.
;)

MPBWhitney · 08-18-2003, 03:51 PM

Something should be done... I think the SKY BAR will be implementing the scanners as well as a lazer that takes pics of your face or some shit.

Either way good... i dont wanna worry about getting shot in the middle of a packed club.

All these dudes are cowards, who the fuck shoots random shots in a club packed full of ppl?

lloyd · 08-18-2003, 05:03 PM

thats from our patio, you can see the 4 cop cars at the top.

JohnW · 08-18-2003, 05:12 PM

Hey Lloyd, point the camera about 90 degrees to the right and I'll moon you...lol
