LOL, sure, of course, never let the facts ruin a good TTC bashing. Blame Olivia Chow dammit!!!
This one doesn't concern me as much as the other random attacks and killings. Maybe the two knew each other, maybe they didn't. If you want to lessen your chances of getting hurt, don't punch someone in the head. This however doesn't change the fact that it erodes public confidence with regard to safety on the TTC and makes more people want to drive.
I took the NYC subway a few times during the 90's. Toronto is the new NYC subway. No, that is not a compliment.
If someone is carrying a knife...you know what they're thinking..."just in case something happens, imma stab someone with this when shit hits the fan"....the intent of use is there when you step out of the house with a knife or a gun. it just differs whether the intention is to defend yourself or to assault someone...in this case, it's assault...
So you are going to spend hundreds of millions to place airport style security at every subway station, streetcar stop and bus stop in the entire city?
Well what else can be done? It can be done btw. In India which is more populated and where more people use the subway trains, this is done now.
Nothing will escape the eye of this baggage scanner at metro station | Delhi News - Times of India
NEW DELHI: Screening of baggage at metro stations will soon be more secure and thorough even as the checks become faster.timesofindia.indiatimes.com
Not sure what you can do. But security guards/security inspections at every subway station, streetcar stop and bus stop isn't the answer.
It is, but I have always argued it should be legalized, especially for vulnerable women
But if you ban TTC stations then only the badguys will have them.
Lol.
Sorry Toronto. This sucks.
Some sort of crackdown required.
This is correct. Spot on Phil.
If he stabbed the dude who attacked him - total self defense. Once the assailant fled...he no longer had that right to chase and stab. Attempted murder is right.
Oh, so vulnerable guys are exempt? What if it's a vindictive woman with a grudge? Opens up a whole can of bear spray right there.
Oh so they were friends. That's nice. Maybe they can patch things up. So to speak. Once the stitches come out.
I'm not a lawyer but I think once you have a prohibited weapon on you and use it regardless if he didn't hunt the guy down to add in some more knife wounds, your self defense claim goes out the window. I believe the victim in this case did throw the first haymakers and enraged the stabber who looked like he was about to get a beatdown.
The victim probably has been training in the local dojo and wanted to try out his moves but paid the price.
Our newly elected Mayor, Olivia Chow responded to the stabbing and her reaction to provide a safer enviorment on the TTC by placing social workers on subways??
We are so fucking screwed!
We are so fucking screwed!
Never knew each other from the information released by media. The guy who got stabbed told the other to turn off our music and then also threw the first punch. The video has been released.
Sorry I left you out, Mugabe.
Of course you get to have a can of pepper spray too
