Vancouver Police Chief Jamie Graham raised the spectre Friday of a retaliatory attack in the wake of the Fortune Happiness Restaurant shooting, in which two people were killed and six others injured.
Graham called the restaurant attack "cowardly."
Here's something I never understood. In the news, whenever someone commits a crime such as a kidnapping or murder, they call that person or the act "cowardly". How is that "cowardly"? I think it takes a lot of guts to go into a restaurant full of people and shoot up the place. What do people expect the assailants to do to make it less cowardly? Call their targets out for a dual?

Yeah, sometimes I wonder if the cops are just saying that to rile up the criminals and somehow get them to slip up in their anger. Or maybe the cops want the criminals to come around and show them a piece of the "cowardly" shoot-up.
It definitely takes big brass balls to walk into a place and rain bullets on the people inside.
"Hey, Chang! I know you're in there. Come out here! Come out here and fight me like a man! I challenge you to a duel: three paces at the crack of dawn." [spit out tobacco on the dusty road]
I'm sure some stupid criminal has fallen into that trap. Showing up at the police station all whiny "Hey! I'm not a coward!"
