Default Gang Shootings Toronto Rant

Yup, lots FYI at the mo for those who don’t live here. Most recent one, random killing of a woman yesterday who was sat in a car on another gang turf, she was a charity worker age 31. Sad for sure

so what the law and Gov doing? Political Correctness stopped carding so gangs can just drive round now at will !!

the Gov try to make it harder for target shooters and hunters to get a gun, why the F they do that ? Just last week they picked up a gang and found 60 firearms that came from USA via Cornwall border. Something needs to happen people and soon !!

Yes. Governments have been unwilling to deal with gangs because of political correctness, and just stick their heads in the sand and hope the problem goes away.

And while the government attacks law-abiding gun owners, criminals are now making their own guns and bypassing the law entirely. A couple were caught making MAC-10s in Alberta a while ago, and I believe a submachinegun factory was found in Quebec a few months back (I've seen comments about it online, but never links to original news articles).

Heck, last year the police had a shootout with a crook downtown here who was probably using a Home Depot shotgun.

The other day I was getting my hair cut and was asked not to eat my lunch at the workstation because concern over nut allergies, even though it was a cucumber and humus sandwich. Another case of extreme Political Correctness out of control.

I'm not sure what you mean by 'extreme right', but, as far as I can see, the policies of most of the nationalist parties taking power across the West wouldn't have been out-of-place in the Labour party before Blair took over and abandoned the working class.

Heck, Trump could probably have run as a Democrat in the 90s. He only seems right-wing today because the Democrats have moved so far to the left since then.

But, yeah, I've seen a lot of people online lately claiming they were Democrats but are voting Republican this election because the Democrats have gone insane. May all be lies, of course, but the way the Democrats are acting I'm guessing they've already realized that their 'Blue Wave' is heading out to sea. Every day they seem to get more desperate, and that turns off more and more sane voters.

Is your nan making your lunch?

You need to get down your local Hooters for some wings at lunch! Not this hipster vegan stuff!

The cops in Toronto are lazy and overpaid.

If they got paid for every crime they solved we wouldn’t owe them a penny.

If you give them additional powers you’ll just see them using them in the wrong way sadly.

Unfortunately policing here is comparable to Colombia, South Africa and other developing states.

Political correctness won’t effect corruption, poor recruitment and sub standard training.

Sadly my Hooter days are over.
Although when I lived in Tennessee, there was a really big one (giggity) across the street from the Blockbusters. The original HID never understood why it'd take me three hours to get a couple of DVDs. I remember their chicken wings were the bollocks though.

I think I'd rather my wings were made from the traditional part of the chicken's anatomy
