Calling Julian Falconer

Dammit, if only we had a few more... social workers...
Three men are expected to survive after being stabbed outside The Guvernment nightclub early this morning. The incident happened in a parking lot near the club around 2:20 a.m., near Queen Quay E. and lower Jarvis St.
"Cos obviously... these poor neglected boys... just need a sympathetic ear and a dash of self-respect.
The alternation began around 2:20 a.m. when a young man made a disparaging comment about a woman who was leaving the club. The woman's male friends then began hurling homophobic insults at the first man and his friends.
Yessiree... these poor waifs are just misunderstood. That's what everybody says, right?

I just don't get it.

Why is it... that even though we get a couple of shootings or stabbings in Toronto every week... no one wants to talk about the sociopaths who pull triggers, or pull knives?

You see Mayor David Miller and Premier McSlippery screaming about "banning guns"... like they were falling from the skies and killing innocent bystanders... but no one talks about the assailants themselves.

Remember when you were young... and kids were roaming around in wolf packs shooting and stabbing each other... at the slightest provocation?

Yeah... me neither.

Well well well... thanks for the advice "Wendy Drummond of the Toronto police service".

How should women take care?

LAST WORD: The Scarberia biathlon...

Basketball and ballistics.
A 21-year-old man who was shot following a late-night game of basketball at a Scarborough arena Saturday is expected to recover. The injured man fled the parking lot of the arena — formally known as Mid Scarborough — and apparently attempted to drive himself to hospital.

The gunman is described as black, 18 to 22 years old, about 6-foot, with a skinny face, wearing a black hat and blue jacket.
