Drove west down Pandora after work yesterday. Traffic was slow so I had an opportunity to rubberneck more than usual. FFS, the place gets worse by the week. I thought the FTP sign taped to the front of 941 was a nice touch (a building whose maintenance falls under my umbrella.) I saw VPD dealing with a few of the denizens outside of Our Place during the summer when I thought at the time it had reached peak crazy (nope). The looks on their faces said it all.

Oh, and if you're missing a bike, it's likely down there getting parted out.
Unfortunately, vigilanteism is the historically inevitable outcome when governments are unable or unwilling to preserve public order.This is all culminates in more videos of business owners and security guards beating the smoke out of people.
The my rightfully feel they have no recourse anymore.

Vigilanteism is unfortunate and in Canada’s case, entirely unnecessary.Is it unfortunate or is it the natural evolution a society, it must rise and fall ?
They can follow them out the door, they can follow them down the streets, they can do a citizens arrest the whole time.The last time I walked into the London Drugs down that way I had to wait while two thieves burst out of the place with their arms loaded. A guy from the store was in hot pursuit but stopped near the door. He said they couldn't pursue them down the street, which the bad guys have clearly figured out.
No wonder these folks are pissed...
London Drugs forms anti-crime coalition with other BC retailers
“More and more British Columbians are afraid to walk in their own streets and shopping districts, employees fear being assaulted at work, and local businesses are losing millions from brazen in-store theft that leads to higher prices for BC families,” the coalition said in a statement.

People who do usually get prosecuted by the nanny state under pretense that they used excessive force.They can follow them out the door, they can follow them down the streets, they can do a citizens arrest the whole time.
That being said usually the company itself puts limitations on their employees arresting thieves.
Our citizens arrest laws are actually fairly reasonable, people just refuse to utilize them.
It's companies own polices that limit the security guards actions. They are in their rights to affect an arrest during the commission of a crime. So that would not be vigilantism. Seeing a known thief walking down the street and then taking them into the alley to beat the crap out of him would be.Unfortunately, vigilanteism is the historically inevitable outcome when governments are unable or unwilling to preserve public order.

The same reason extremists parties grow on both sides of the spectrum.…an inability or unwillingness of mainstream parties to deal with the issues.Unfortunately, vigilanteism is the historically inevitable outcome when governments are unable or unwilling to preserve public order.

Please direct me to one case of that. I know thats the rumour but I have never actually seen a charge for someone using excessive force in a citizens arrest. From what I can tell citizens arrests are quite rare in this country.People who do usually get prosecuted by the nanny state under pretense that they used excessive force.
Chilling effect that discourages people from exercising those options.
I think we need to look at the law as it is currently written. There are LEOs and lawyers on this forum and can better explain the bail laws far better than I can.The same reason extremists parties grow on both sides of the spectrum.…an inability or unwillingness of mainstream parties to deal with the issues.
