$2.3m Drug Ring linked to India busted in Canada

[dharamyudh]

I've known kids who grew up dirt poor, lived in community housing, and went through hell and back still be set on a straight path compared to some of these guys selling drugs who grew up with damn near anything they wanted with a supportive family structure. It's wild to me. 

[Jai Tegang!]

The Lower Mainland gang violence disproportionately involves (Canadian-born) Punjabis. Most of the gangland killings involve Punjabis killing other Punjabis. The police considers them mostly low-level guys who can’t control themselves, unlike the sophisticated Asian and Biker gangs that work silently but control most of the networks. It’s saddening to see another dead young brown kid every second week.

It has nothing to do with bullying or racism, or other any economic reasons. They come from our typical well-off Punjabi households with immigrant parents who have worked hard to realize the western dream, but not worked hard on giving some authentic life values to the kids. Only value is money, not even education. Compared to other diaspora commounitues in the US and UK, Lower Mainland/BC kids are under-achievers academically. If you’ve been through the post-secondary education system here, it’s clear that our community’s kids lag far behind. The community simply doesn’t value or push their kids enough. Instead, the kids are spoiled growing up with an all-expense-paid upbringing with no clear motivation to accomplish anything in life, except for “making money”.   

In a nuthshell, we are so well off on the West Coast here in BC that we simply don’t know what to do with it. The downfall of the Sikh Raj analogy shows some parallels.

Perfect explanation.

I think not being 'cultured' might play a big part. At the risk of sounding like a poncey twat; not being able to appreciate things in life like art, literature, creativity or even nature or other intellect developing things, but just having a life that resolves around status, trophies and power in an extreme way of ego fueling, how are you not going to get twisted? Then throw in the hard gear that these people not only sell, but I'm sure they sniff up too - at these young ages......when I see it like that - what we're talking about seems almost text book predictable?

Wow! That's a big body count.......

Thanks Canada. Now the US can finally answer those gun control supporters everytime a mass shooting happens in the US. 

Canada has strict gun control laws i bet...

Like the NRA says banning guns is only going to stop the good guys from having any not the gangsters.

Canada's gun laws are very strict. They recently banned ARs. We don't even have stand your ground laws either.

2.3m.... white collar criminals would laugh at those small amounts. Bigger crime goes on in glass buildings than the back streets of Canada.

Not good. Seems to be hordes of apnay involved:
