this is exactly the kind of banal, knee-jerk response expected from people with zero understanding of crime and social science data. in fact, you probably don't even know how carding works by the sounds of this comment.
a jump in shootings like this isn't anything new.
"Year-end statistics, however, show that 56 homicides occurred in 2015 — one less than the 57 recorded in each of the two previous years, and on par with the 56 fatalities of 2012.
In short, despite all the catastrophic warnings, Toronto’s homicide rate has been remarkably stable. It’s also worth noting that the practice of carding has been suspended in Canada’s largest city since the beginning of last year. Why that would produce a paralysis of policing and a surge of violence now, more than a year later, defies explanation."
