This is not meant to be a slight against Winnipeg, but two of the more ridiculous crime stories I've read in recent weeks both come from Winnipeg.
In the first case, a 13-year-old boy was slashed for 33-stitches in his back just because some loser wanted the kid's t-shirt.
The read the unbelievable story:

The second instance involves a woman who fears for her and her family's safety upon learning a sex offender is about to be released and there are indications he may continue to stalk her.
This case is maddening. I understand authorities say they can't help you until something happens; but in the event that a crime is quite likely to occur I would hope that maximum protection could be made available to this poor lady.
Surely, there is nothing worse than dealing with a very serious crime that isn't a surprise to anyone.
There is also something wrong with a society that releases a guy like this back to the general public. Read the story to learn more of what I mean.
