Oh noes. Perhaps we should move the entire downtown to Langley
Your response to someone being hospitalized for going to work is "Oh noes" ? That's pretty gross.
It's pretty gross lawyers apparently think they're special as opposed to the rest of the plebs downtown.
So, say someone were hospitalized after being attacked for being gay and the gay community asked the city to step up and increase community safety, would you also think it's pretty gross the lgbtq community thought they were special as opposed to the rest of the plebs?
I asked a hypothetical question you silly Billy, feel free to answer it.
Or to be honest and just say "hey, if people who make more money get hospitalized, boo hoo to them." (Even though globally, we're probably in the 1% of wealth etc but pesky reality don't matter none.)
Edit: Alternatively, how about you be a woman in a nice business suit walking alone through Main and Hastings after dark and after a day of defending the poor in court? Do that a few dozen times and let me know how safe you feel. (Don't worry, if anything does happen, I will have a sympathetic "oh noes" for you too!)
I thought I made it extremely plain I reject your entire premise and logic
I'm not understanding what premise you're rejecting.
Are you okay with the lawyers having additional security as long as they don't move the court? Even though a few years of paying for that security would probably cost more than repurposing a different building would?
