CORRECTION: At 7:37 I say that Lawrence Orubor was given additional time on his prison sentence in July of 2024. Obviously I am not a Minority Report operative and I cannot predict the future. Lawrence Orubor received additional time on his sentence in MARCH of 2024. It wouldn't be a Strange North video if there wasn't at least one mistake, so there you go. Thanks for watching folks!

"Lawrence Orubor, 55, of Calgary handed 6½ years on top of 10-year sentence" - Front and center with a google search. Your error is not to worry about. Dude's lawyer argued the sex trafficking sentence would result in a combined sentence that is unfair. 16.5 years is a large bit. Most murders in Canada are less. Court disagreed.

I applied for a job once that was to help people get out of gangs but because I went to flhs in the same years as Jason and knew quite a few people that were tied to the gangs it was determined that I was too close for it to be safe to work with that agency. In jr high a group that I hung out with was even questioned if we knew anything about the prostitution ring happening there.

This video seemed very well researched and had great detail. A video for the Vancouver and surrounding area gangs and violence would be extensive I imagine. Vancouver just had a targeted daylight shooting downtown, cameras everywhere caught it. All the crime here the cops always say "suspects are known to police", which is infuriating. Then there is the corruption at the ports which is a whole other angle to the crime here.

Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate when people take the time to comment - in terms of your question, I have had my concerns about presenting the gang information. But all of the stuff I talk about is publicly available information that has been presented by others. It also annoys me when other KZreadrs present this information while they hide behind AI voices and video clips. I could be wrong, but I figured it was more honorable and respectable to at least show my face. And I also realize that gang members are human and they realize that people are already well aware of them. I also don't want to be too timid with approaching more contentious issues, I have to really tread carefully but fortune favors the bold! I'm surprised how popular these gang videos have been, and it's definitely not the main theme of my channel. In terms of interviews, I think they are a great idea and I plan on doing them on my channel.

The FOB/FK battles were wild which was HS era for me, as the video said they had no specific territories, so you could have a murder or shooting in an affluent NW neighbourhood, anywhere downtown YYC essentially or at a club on a Saturday night, sleepy SW neighbourhoods. It wasn't solely located in the less ideal places of the city aka the NE. FOB/FK members were in also a lot of the HSs too around the city in both public and Catholic school districts, so you usually knew at least of someone directly who was in either group or someone who knew a person in one of either groups or were associated with them.

Don’t forget the new gangs that settled here lately especially their involvement with GTA, and other violent crimes even with some ties to a certain south Asian country.

We lived in Calgary when the Bolsa shooting happened!! It was a big deal when it happened!! My wife and I loved Bolsa! We went in to eat right after it happened and the lady who owned the place hugged us and thanked us for returning to her restaurant 😢 the best Vietnamese restaurant in Calgary! The poor lady was so scared during the shooting, she hid in the freezer!! And didn’t come out for long time!! Exact words out of her mouth!! Bolsa bang bang.. is what we called the place after that! I have since moved back to Ontario but I still want your food!!

Have you made, or planning to make, any gang related video related specifically to Filipino gang activity in Calgary? A friend suspects his Filipino step-son might be involved in something of the sort. Apparently when he threatened to evict his step-son a few years ago the kid claimed he would just join “the syndicate”, whatever that is.

There will always be problems in any major city, but the reality is that Calgary is actually one of the safest major cities in Canada and a wonderful place to live. Cheers mate!

I'm not a small guy but I wasn't offended nor taking am aggressive posture 🤷 I mean I'm from Toronto and carry myself like I'm not to intimated by much in Calgary but not in a pompous way, just there's alot more to fear back east. Maybe it was the dope or something he was on. Either way since that day I've been trying to find what OBJ is. And see if I fit that profile for whatever an OBJ looks like lol

@mgmilw4966 think you took that out of context, 1 I know it better 2 it's alot bigger in terms of population which equals more crime and 3 the stuff that goes down there on a regular is alot worse then in Calgary (in terms of how often and how violent acts are more regular) So that means Calgary is a safer and more peaceful city. There's nowhere in Calgary I don't feel safe being a normal citizen, in Toronto that's definitely not the case. If you don't act confident in certain areas of TO you can be seen as a target , but on the other side if you act to confident you can be obviously seen as a problem or just a D bag. When I say carry myself in a confident manner, it's because I'm pretty confident I'm safe in Calgary anywhere I go as long as im not involvedin anything to bring attention to myself, it's not meant as 'I'm originally from TO so I'm better than' there's a reason I've lived here for 10 years and not moved back. In areas of north York or in regent park, don mills etc, it doesn't matter how confident you are if you're involved in something or not, if you have something the gangs want and your there they'll take it. It's not a nice way to have to live. There's a major "this is a gang territory " feel in these areas in TO. I don't get that here. In some places I may feel like I gotta just keep my eyes open, especially around the DI or alpha house etc at night, but it's not the "I know there's gun carrying gang members watching me" feel I've had in some areas of Toronto. And I prefer the former

What about current gangs in Calgary OGK CF etc... the family wasnt a gang selling drugs to the homeless it was a group of homeless drug addicts selling drugs to eachother.

The dynamic is very different now. Lots of small sets with names made of letters and numbers, somali groups. The indigenous gangs are still around, most members now however have substance abuse issues and just do random crimes and violence. Many BC gangs have come and gone however one seems to really be digging in, BK
