, Shayne Ramsay said “something shifted” in his life when he saw a murder on the beach near CRAB Park back in May, then watched in horror as two people dealing with homelessness were murdered this past week.
“On the beach, a man lay fatally stabbed,” said Ramsay. “My neighbour, who lingered a bit longer than Fred and me, was bowled over by the two young men accused of his murder as they ran across the park to get to him. Ramsay said the last straw was being mobbed last week after talking to reporters about a public hearing for proposed social housing in the Kitsilano neighbourhood, near the planned Arbutus subway stop.
Ramsay said the city has told him it amounted to assault. “This time it was angry words and a fist, next time it could be worse,” he lamented.
