Do you have a shiny badge and a quick draw, BB?

Curiously there were 3 murders in my little town recently.  Two were stalking type thing and the other is a guy who  shot a robber in the face.  The other robbers (who fled) are being charged with felony murder.

Wait, they're being charged with murder because their accomplice got himself shot?

Simon should do "The Wire: Yukon" . The first season would focus on a feisty prosecutor who's trying to bring down a ring of Snowmobile thieves who steal your skidoo and pimp it out with lots of bling, try to sell it back to you, for as many bottles of AQ as you can carry.
:p

No, but I am an imposing figure in court in my robes.   :bowler:

I was out in one of the smaller communities last week for court.  I was at the hotel, dressed in my suit, and loading my files into the back of the "Crownmobile" (aka our Grand Cherokee).  Some guy takes one look at me and says 'boy you sure don't look like you belong around here'. :lol:

I'm sorry to break it to you Seedy, but when you break it down to crime rates per capita, the Yukon Territory has Baltimore beaten handily.

Violent crime rate for Baltimore, Maryland: 1,631 per 100,000
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_cities_by_crime_rate

Violent crime rate for Yukon Territory, Canada: 3,007 per 100,000
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crime_in_Canada

:yeah: :yeah: :yeah:

Well, duh, Canada's most dastardly criminal lives in the Yukon:

In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

Laugh all you want, but Detroit's violent crime rate is 'only' 2,289 per 100,000.

That's right - Yukon is more violent than the most violent city in America. :yeah:

Why is the Yukon so violent?

Don't feel bad. :console:

With so many guns your lower rate of violence probably leads to much more serious injuries and death then we have.

It's a tad more nuanced than that...
