Is it my imagination or are these shootings here in the GTA getting worse??
It seems we have a shooting almost every day now.

We had one on Christmas Eve: https://torontosun.com/news/crime/man-33-shot-dead-in-richmond-hill-on-christmas-eve
And another one today, boxing day: https://torontosun.com/news/local-news/teen-in-serious-condition-after-jane-finch-shooting

The gangbangers were nice enough to take a break on Christmas day.

So whats the solution??
Have Christmas everyday.

Let me guess, you vote NDP every election dont you??
What's your solution, Phil? Send all the black people "home"?

Canada needs immigrants. Immigrants no longer come from Europe. They come from the Third World. Some immigrants are always nasty and lawless because - unlike the established citizens - they have less to lose by committing crime. Those immigrants were once the Irish. Then the Jews and Italians. Now they're brown and black.

So what are you going to do? Drive out to Brampton and stand in a mall and hand out leaflets saying "All you brown people should go home"?

There are going to be more and more black and brown people - because the economy would collapse without them. So it's pointless for you to whine. Nothing's going to happen. And in a decade or two, it'll be another immigrant group that gets criticized for being violent and lawless. And another group of guys on TERB who waste time complaining about it.

And in the meantime, those Boys and Girls Clubs sound like a damn good idea. Because they cost you a lot less than putting people in jail and if they divert a few teenagers from making societally-disadvantageous decisions, you save $ that you can spend buying pina coladas in your nice, all white, geriatric badmington club.

Stop race-baiting, oagre. I never once said anything about race in this thread.

The problem in Toronto is gangs, period

"The judge gave Jackson two years and 3.5 months credit for time served in pretrial custody, including four months for the harsh conditions he experienced during lockdowns in jail."

Prisons in Canada are like holiday resorts compared to US prisons. The Canadian justice system coddles these criminals. He would have got at least a 20 year sentence in the US, and no time credited for 'harsh conditions'.

The Canadian courts are partially responsible for the rising gun crime in Canada, because they don't really punish.

So did Canadian authorities contact the US BATF/FBI so he could be prosecuted upon deportation at the end of his Canadian sentence for straw purchasing, illegal export and conspiracy in the US? Probably not. In fact, we should get rid of this trash and let the US deal with him in their own way, and let the Canadian taxpayer off the hook for his incarceration.

In any case, Ontario Crown prosecutors usually drop all gun charges when dealing with gangbangers so they can get an easy plea bargain and dispose of the case rapidly. They're back om the street in no time laughing at the system.
Funny. I read the news article the same as Phil did - 8 years for smuggling.

You're clearly a Crown attorney, or maybe a criminal law professor. Because you know so much more than me about the criminal justice system. And you're so much smarter than the judges. I take my hat off to you,

Are the shootings a natural correction, people who don't like each other or themselves doing a sort self exterminations ? It seems so, not a genocide but a type of suicide. If this is the case, then there is no solution by outsiders to give such torture souls a hand up. Many refugees arrive here who have seen far worse than anyone born in this nanny state and they do not behave like this.

Try 410 in 2019 so far: https://torontosun.com/news/local-n...and-blood-provide-haunting-evidence-of-murder

We're a little over 10 months into 2019 now, so that works out to about 1.36 shootings a day.
Its getting worse. Soon enough we'll be up to 2 shootings a day.

And it wont matter where you live or work, you can catch a stray bullet just walking down any street or strip plaza now
That sounds like a good argument for trying to decrease the number of guns on the street.

Didn't you hear? Bill Blair has it alllll figured out. The very vast majority, almost all, are being committed by gang related shooters, using handguns they are not supposed to have, that have been obtained illegally and/ or smuggled into the country.

Bill's logical solution is to take AR-15 rifles (which have not been used in any of these shootings) from law abiding citizens, who obtained them legally and registered them. That will make it alllll better.

Just go door to door
What a brilliant idea. While we're at it, lets go door to door and collect all illegal drugs as well.
We could clean this city up in just a few weeks.

What on earth would we do without you on this site, shack.
You are a legend :thumb:

I like your idea about the drugs as well and to cap it off we could round up a bunch of illegal immigrants as well. We could clean up this town.

People have no fear about driving and walking around with guns! I wonder why.

Now you're talking!!!!

And once we've rounded them all up we can build a wall around Toronto to keep any new ones out

The possibilities are endless. When visited by police, all residents should meet the Toronto's finest with their mouths open(DNA swabbing) and their unlocked electronic devices in hand, ready for inspection.

It is a joke for some now, but sooner or latter a "good ole boy" or girl will get hit in the crossfire and then the pitch forks will come out.
