Man shot in Rivière-des-Prairies
No, it’s not a duplicate post. A man was shot Sunday night in Rivière-des-Prairies, this one only grazed: he didn’t even have to go to hospital.
Early Monday, a man was stabbed in Verdun.

Troy street is Verdun’s shady corner. There was a shooting there in recent memory as well. I wonder if they’re all related or if it’s just simple economics.

I can’t figure Verdun out. It doesn’t give off that “bandits roost” vibe with layered graffiti and bars on shop windows that Hochelaga and St Henri do but gets more than it’s fair share of crime stories in the press.

Verdun shades from the low-key, respectable streets of Crawford Park to the very mildly edgy vibe of the Avenues. Some would say Nuns’ Island is nicer, but it has crime, too. Crime’s everywhere, it’s just that poor people’s crime has a different kind of visibility.

Anytime I hear about stabbings around Montreal, I knee-jerk the thought of some dumb 20yr old not only owing his drug dealer some money, but mouthing off that he’s tough and won’t pay. More and more older ‘adults’ still live like dumb 20 year old. It’s usually very cliché.
