Because... Tiger Penis...

Everybody knows you have to purge the evil spirits from your body...
The issue is indeed sensitive in Metro Vancouver, because many of the spitters are recent immigrants from China, where spitting does not carry the same cultural taboo as in Canada.

In China and several other Asian cultures, spitting is seen as normal and even healthy.
It's like feng shui... you don't wanna end up living on the dragon's eyeball, do ya?

RELATED: Speaking of Chinatown...
Two males are dead and three others were shot after gunfire erupted outside a restaurant in Chinatown overnight. Details are limited and investigators have not yet released a suspect description.

This morning's incident bring the total number of shooting occurences in 2016 to 34 and the number of shooting victims to 49. 'This is not a blip,' Mike McCormack, president of the Toronto Police Association says of spike in gun violence.

"There is a big increase in gun violence, in shootings. We are up over 100 per cent from last year."
If only Justin would take all those guns away from farmers, hunters and target shooters... I'm sure the problem would be solved.

RELATED2: Unlike the above incident...

...it seems police are sometimes able to provide physical descriptions...
The first suspect is described as white, late-30s-to-40s, medium build, wearing grey pants, a grey Adidas hoodie, a dark toque and carrying a dark backpack. The second suspect is described as white, late-30s-to-40s, medium build, wearing a dark-blue hooded jacket and a red toque.
Funny how that works.
