Ghastly Grannies

There is far more serious crime committed against the poor than done by the poor. It makes me so bitter to hear people complain about panhandlers, streetpeople, squeegee kids, prostitutes, drug addicts, minorities/immigrants etc. being "the problem". Who are the people most likely/easily to be taken advantage of? Who are the people least likely to be noticed or heard if they are taken advantage of?

I heard about this article "Ghastly Grannies" on the CBC this morning. It's "funny" how the death of these two men were thought of as accidental and not as hit and runs. I wonder why that would be? (roll my eyes) Their deaths were never investigated and it was by chance/luck that the full details came into light.

Prostitutes are another one of those groups that seem to get little aid when thier backs are up against the wall. cough cough Pickton cough cough as well as indiginous women. Amnesty International has huge concerns about this issue in Canada and I can't help but to agree.

I wish that white-collar crime was taken more seriously and that more equal concern s taken for all parts of our society. There needs to be far more recognition of crimes against the poor not by the poor.
