Arrest in Beaubien metro assault
There has been an arrest in the assault of a woman near Beaubien metro station last weekend. A La Presse opinion piece reminds us how lucky we are to live in a big city that’s one of the safest in the world, and that this is something worth preserving.

So I guess it wasn’t a warning, eh.

All I meant in the initial was that such a report is in the public interest, warning people to keep an eye out for trouble.

Ah I thought you meant like as in a gang thing, my bad.

There didn’t seem to be any gang angle in the story. It puzzles us when we get hit and it’s neither by someone we know out for revenge, or someone after our money or possessions.

It is certainly perplexing.

One time about 30 years ago I was downtown and someone hit me with a stick on my forehead. Didn’t say anything, just did it in passing. I can’t remember an exact year, but the Monkland theatre was still showing movies.
If it happened more frequently, maybe it would be a challenge or entry requirement, but I’ve never read anything till now. It’s the sort of thing I would notice if I read about it happening to someone else.
