Post Too close to home...straying bullets part II

It’s happened again. Just blocks from the area where a man was killed by a stray bullet, another Scarborough street has been the scene of a random shootout. And this time, a 15-year-old boy just narrowly escaped death.

Police rushed to Ingleton Crescent in the McCowan and Steeles area around 8am, after reports of gunfire.

Below is the full article.. man what the heck is going on around here? Can you imagine if you were taking a shower and all of a sudden you find yourself shot in the head? What are the police doing???

That happened yesterday right by where my two boys go to school. I couldn't get close to the school and had to walk them from a few blocks away.

Another act of cowardice by some punks who have no respect for others and human life.

“He said had he been doing something else in the bathroom that he normally would have, he would have been shot in the head,”

What would that be ?

Its dumbass punks like the idiots that did this that have sent Scarborough down the crapper over the last few years, and really make me want to move (I live about 5 minutes west of where this happend).

I can't believe no one saw any of these guys though, considering this happend around 8:00 am.

They are cracking down on a REAL problem ... lack of front plates and yellow turn signals on Hondas. but hey, fighting REAL CRIME doesn't pay - tickets do! Have you seen how much a criminal trial costs??? Who wants to do that Not our law enforcement!!

Instead, let's jack the tax on ciggies to $75/carton!?!?!?!!!!!! is anyone else already pissed at the Liberals?

Well, I don't want to get in a debate of which political party is better, hell their all crooks in my mind, but the Conservatives were in power for what, 2 terms, and the liberals have just taken over. So all the directives the police were following with the "street racing problems" were probably dished down by the tories. But I doubt anything is going to change dramatically with this new government with respect to Honda harrassment.

Isn't the cigarette tax a federal thing? Hell, if I smoked I'd be pissed too. But your close to the border, don't you buy from the states?

off topic guys...



Anyways, my opinion on this, is that it must of been some wanna be punk kids, and not drug dealers. Why? Easy, drug dealers stay up late, and sleep until noon.






Uh oh......

But the thing is what is considered late?
It could be possible that the dealer woke up say around 6pm and didn't sleep until 12pm noon...
