Guardian Angels, David Miller, Jane Pitfield and Safety

Written by Brian Lemon
We just moved from Cabbagetown. Not because we didn't like our place, or it's location. But because of the crack hos, the hustlers, the panhandlers, the dealers, the litter and the collective desperation of convenience store owners, older folks, and ordinary folks who are terrorized, bothered or aggravated by the prior group.
David Miller doesn't get it at all. It's not only gun violence that people are afraid of or bothered with. It's the daily routine of stepping over drunks, seeing crackheads destroy their bodies and dealers destroying the bodies of others.
For seniors, including those who live at the Denison Centre, going outside is a terrifying experience. At the least, by being vulnerable, they are pestered to give up part of their skinny funds. At the worst they are threatened to do so.
The Guardian Angels don't need to jump in front of a gunny to improve lives. They just need to discourage Miller's Minions from bugging the old folks for their cash. And this is a LOT more than David Miller does for them.
