These violent gatherings, where young people fight others, are increasing across Canada. And innocent people are getting hurt.
This kind of mob activity is a clear menace, and while police are aware of the incidents, they appear to be taking a wait-and-see approach. You’d think that the ruffians who attacked the young boy would be tracked and charged, but so far, there’s no evidence that’s happening. The alcohol-filled Britannia Beach party got so out-of-control it apparently took 20 police officers to break it up.
And it is not only the participants that we should worry about. As happened at Britannia Beach, it could spill out of control into neighbourhoods and catch innocent bystanders. The 16-year-old boy in Britannia was minding his own business but ended up in hospital. It shouldn’t happen.
