Watch your back? It sounds to me like a reason to legalize conceal carry
Would that really be a bad thing given the politicians and courts have left citizens to suffer the worst of what their foolishness policies have brought on us?
Citizens advise Police to do work
Yep it’s why I left Edmonton, it’s junked out. Sad really, people can’t thrive. Had my truck broken into, needles everywhere.
Right along there with you.
My work truck broken into 3 times, basically got told nothing they could do. They are right on those crosswalk burnouts though
And then I went to go get a new insurance and registration, got pulled over, and recieved a 88$ fine. I’m so mad at Edmonton police !
@@codyaucoin3412 badges are here to do the feddies dirty work
Where did you leave to? I'm considering moving to Edmonton from Toronto.
Catch and release,,, 😮
Lets build more jails to house these criminals!! Jails with no TV, internet or electronic games! Give them books! Treat criminals like criminals!!!
Yeah! Books are terrible!!
And make them work
The problem is that jail goes against their social justice notions. The reality that a certain demographic is overrepresented in the jails and to change that they stop arresting them. The current situation is the result.
@@TomasGraf-rr6co we all suffer for the actions of a few when the few should suffer for their actions!!!
@@stevefyke8640 You know, yes, you are correct. It's easy to blame all for the deeds of few. It's important to keep that in mind.
North, east and downtown Edmonton have always been bad, now its the west and south deteriorating.
All these 15 minutes city ideas need to go as well as the "safe injection" sites.
I dont even recognize Strathcona anymore. Businesses are gone, buildings are trashed, and dont get me atarted on the landscaping in this city.
We need a new mayor, new ridings and a new plan.
Sohi and council all need to be recalled. We need signatures!
@@FliegendeMaus1996 yes, absolutely.
🇨🇦 CANADA feels BROKEN under TRUDEAU REGIME 😩
kyle Hines for next PM.( trudeau or Kyle) its the City and AB that is at fault.
Diversity strikes again
Any self defense measures people can take??? What are the limits for self defence, need more info about it
As a canadian you have a right to carry a knife on your hip in a shealth openly (dont bring to a school ffs lol). You also have a right to openly carry a sword however you want, so long as the sword is at least 20cm in length. Id advise learning how to use one well before doing so, as if your too weak or not skilled enough it will most liekly be taken from you and used against you. Standing your ground with a knife isnt exactly legal here.. but theres a few ways you can understand the laws and how theyre written to benefit you to be able to defend yourself with a knive. The 1 thing thats critical in the law is u must try to escape first. This CAN be neglected if escape is considered impossible or improbable at the time.
@@flailmail7069^^^^ lawyer or 12 year old boy. You decide
@@MarshalltheWarlock depends how you use it, and honestly where you are, having a good judge can make a big difference should you get charged. Ive had to use one in self defense and wasnt charged, but i was cornered and unable to escape. The self defense laws here are fickle to say the least and if you dont understand them then you shouldnt carry a knife. I can also tell you that pepper/bear spray does nothing, as ive been sprayed with bear spray and it didnt do much until after the fact, adrenaline can (and has been proven to) negate its effects, i wouldnt rely on it whatsoever. If you use a blunt object your odds of killing someone are actually pretty high... and youll still catch that aggrevated assault charge with both of those weapons btw, by definition anything in your hand used to harm another person can be considered a weapon. You obvoiusly didnt try to escape OR you had no reason to use a knife when you did; or you wouldnt have gotten the charge, refer to what i said above; you MUST try to escape first, or be in a situation where you cannot; failing to attempt to do so is the reason many people are charged. Your life must be at risk in order to act. You cannot pull a knife and chase down a theif, or get in an arguement and pull one when it gets out of hand. You have to literally use it as a last resort only. You obviously didnt.

Heres a quote right from a lawyer, that references canadian law. Hope this clears the air and lets you understand that a knife on your hip is just as good (if not better because its a visual detterent) than some wrench or something 😉
The only knives that would be illegal for self defence are knives already classified as prohibited weapons. Even that’s a stretch because anyone using a prohibited weapon to defend themselves might face a weapons charge, but would be less likely to face any charges specifically related to having defended themselves. Self defence laws don’t say anything about weapons, and there is no law banning the carrying knives with sheaths, knives that take both hands to open, or any knife with a fixed blade.
There are exceptions. It is not legal to carry knives which open automatically. Section 84(1) of the criminal code defines those as a prohibited weapon, and describes them as:
"a knife that has a blade that opens automatically by gravity or centrifugal force or by hand pressure applied to a button, spring or other device attached to or in the handle of the knife"
There are two caveats to that:
There is a prohibition against carrying a knife if the individual is carrying it for a purpose dangerous to public peace or for the purpose of committing a criminal offense. These, of course would be hard to prove as a stand-alone charge, so being charged with one of these offences is usually the result of getting charged with something else, e.g. robbing a store while carrying a knife.
Self defense laws in Canada are tied to being under threat and responding proportionally. What you use to defend yourself with is entirely immaterial.
Because self defence laws in Canada are written around the reasonable belief of a threat of harm or death, and a proportional response, regardless of how you defend yourself. In other words, you can use anything you have access to to defend yourself. That includes knives, guns, potted plants…whatever you have available that works and is proportional to the threat. You can read the entire text of the law on self defence in Canada and you will not find a single mention of weapons, approved or prohibited.
Bill C-26 (S.C. 2012 c. 9) Reforms to Self-Defence and Defence Guide.
So basically your arguement is null and void. Thanks for trying.
"Self defense laws in canada are tied to being under threat and responding proportionally. What you use to defend yourself is entirely immaterial"
Key takeaway.
TLDR carry a knife and learn the laws of the country you live in.
You vote lefty so good on ya! You deserve it!
All this going on and Edmonton City wanting to create more downtown parks
Take a couple of years to beef up a already busting at the seems PF?? Stay out of Hortons and doing a better job than what's being apparently done. Canada's law enforcement is a joke! Just unbelievable..
Violent crime surge.. a few years late to the party
" come to Alberta they said" 😅
😂 haha nope not coming.
Chithole
@@andrewroberts6930as a vegan Christian that you are you're better off in Ontario. Tho I'm sure you'd be the camp at the prairie oyster eating contest. It's always the dudes from Ontario that just can't get enough of them
@@SillyBillies1pretty much sum up all of Canada 😂
This is what I show Edmonton lovers when they say Vancouver's situation is worse. At least when I'm in Vancouver, I can always walk or bike around their entire beautiful bustling, vibrant downtown and take their cheap and extensive public transit with a billion other people without having to worry about anything. Meanwhile in sprawled out edmonton, everyone drives and our urban core has drastically deteriorated keeping everybody separated and afraid. I've been to downtown, Whyte ave on weekends and they're both dead drug/homeless war zones. everybody here sadly would rather hang out at a sports bar in the suburbs.
You can bike and walk around Edmonton, depending on the area, just like Vancouver.
Edmonton isn't that bad, but not sure how long I can say that.
It's getting worse.
Edmonton river valley largest in North America across all metro cities is a biker and runners haven is very safe btw, certain parts of dtown are in the gutter though
I'm vancouver born and raised. Edmonton is much better than vanshithole. Honestly depends on ur luck, the way you look at those junkies and how you react. Lol vancouver and surrounding areas got junkies, homeless and ghetto refugees scattered literally EVERYWHERE. Not to mention the beach always has a ecoli advisory and.... too expensive! Yall are broke, minimalist, child less, love less 3 job working losers hahahahaahah enjoy.
Until something is done about the poor "unfortunates" who can blame them?
I’m living in Edmonton. I traveled to Vancouver too. To be honest, Van is worst. People walk like zombies in downtown
I love how we are told to “watch our backs” as a form of safety while we aren’t even allowed to conceal carry. This seems like a complete lack of order as we can’t even get the right equipment or security to protect ourselves and others.
Trudeau's laws are the issue. These people need jail time or put in mandatory drug rehab.
Did you see how excited and happy the president of the United States Mr Biden was about war 😂
In other words the solution is everyone stay home and lock your doors and wait for your destiny
And why is this for the most part?? Because of the weak kneed approach to social ills. Rather than to hold people responsible for their actions and situations, society prefers to absolve them of ANY responsibility for their predicament and just throw money at them thereby enabling them to continue in their downward spiral.
Time to get tough.
That's why I carry a knife for protection.
A lot of talk in the comments! you people actually going to do anyting??
Make a difference tomorrow when you wake up and actually do something about it!! Or sit back while you're City gets overwhelmed and all you do is complain.
Stand-up Canadians 😤
We need to bring back mental institutions, i dont think theres much you or I could do to change the majority of these people.
Hey, that's not California
With these types of things going on, it seems it would be wise to have some kind of a way to Kuh-Knopping yourself and your family.
It's a good thing though that a majority of these incidents don't take place with random people. They usually happen to those who are caught up in things that most of us wouldn't be involved with but when they do, it's always a good thing to be prepared for Kuh-Knopps sake.
As lame as your life...
Easy fix, conceal carry for legal gun owners
Look at your leaders of the world by Nato if they wanted to protect people why support war 😂
Gee thanks.
Would be a lot better if Canadians were actually allowed to be self reliant and defend themselves in public. 😐
Government: Taking away guns from legal owners, legalizing drugs and keep letting violent criminals out of jail
Criminals: Still carrying illegal weapons, totally cracked out and eyeing up your personal property
Police: "Watch your back..."
If some of the horrors that the peasants must live with were visited upon the elites and more to the point, the politicians, you would see real change in how things are dealt with.
So long as Turdeau and his ilk remain in their insulated safe bubble nothing will change.
Hopefully a different PM could improve things...we will see
lol
Silly "🤭" Billy
Good morning sunshine 🌞☕ ☕
@@centuryhousegames733 yes it is ,blueskies 😎🍓🍓
Time to start letting people defend themselves. God forbid anyone be safe, you have to take whatever happens to you and report it for police to do nothing about it.
You do have a right to defend yourself, just with appropriate force for the situation. Gotta try your luck in court though, but if you know what to say its not that hard. Our legal system is a joke.
LGBTQ is by the god of this world the Mother and Jesus Satan not the Father and I Christ
That depends if you Believe in GOD not Satan or no GOD because people don’t protect you 🤷🏼♂️
Which God? Any God?
@@deeds2668 Who is your god not thy God?
People and weapons don’t protect me in the flesh only GOD does my body and spirit Jesus Christ
If you didn’t pray before you went to Edmonton, now you might.
@@andrewroberts6930Why would I go to Edmonton?
How's inclusiveness working out? 😂
This what happens when you defund the police
If your community was safe little kids wouldn't get away with staring fights with people who don't know what they are capable of.
