And yet all levels of Gov't can't be bothered closing down the illegal pot market on Robson Street that's been documented selling dope to underage kids.

Goes to show just where their priorities are.

Right? Gangsters are shooting at each other in downtown Vancouver but it’s the these guys who have to be clamped down on.

So you're okay with them selling marijuana to kids and running an illegal drug market out in the open and in contravention of all laws?

Given that legalizing marijuana has had little effect on stopping organized crime in Colorado and Washington I'm pretty sure that when it becomes legal in Canada you won't see the numbers of shootings in the lower mainland drop even if they take all the "police who aren't currently busting illegal marijuana sales operations in places like Robson Street" and put them working on the murders. IHIT has been trying to get a handle on these shooting for over a decade now and no matter how much money and manpower they throw at it, nothing changes so it isn't the police who are busting illegal marijuana sales that's the problem. It's the glamour of the gang culture and lack of punishments for serious crimes that's the issue.

From the horses mouth.

A senior RCMP officer says it would be "naive" to think organized crime in the cannabis market will be eliminated with the legalization of recreational marijuana.

"We're very cognizant to realize that the chances of crime being eliminated in the cannabis market — [it] would be probably naive to think that could happen," Joanne Crampton, RCMP assistant commissioner for federal policing criminal operations, told MPs on the Commons health committee studying the government's legislation.

Crampton highlighted areas that give the RCMP concern, including the undercutting of legal prices by the illegal market, exportation, trafficking to youth and organized crime infiltrating the legal regime.

I guess all the bullshit from the radical marijuana activists about how "legalization" was going to make it safer for people, keep it out of the hands of kids, stop organized crime and make money for the Gov't is nothing more than rhetoric designed to cover up the fact that most of them were nothing more than self entitled assholes who don't think they, like the rest of society should be subject to any rules and regulation they don't agree with.

Chinese criminals who are laundering money in Vancouver real estate also get a free pass because the Duke Boys are the real threat.
