WHO'S GOT THE OVER/UNDER ON BODIES DROPPED AT CARIBANA THIS WEEKEND?

-- “We have reviewed our operational plans, enhanced security measures where appropriate, and we will have a strong, visible police presence at carnival events throughout the downtown core and waterfront this weekend,” says Toronto Police Chief Superintendent Andy Singh, Public Safety Operations." --

And will the local media actually report on what happens? 

NOTA BENE: Toronto Afrofest 2026 says 'better safe than sorry.' 

Hmmm... mysteriously, some events seem more violence-prone than others...

-- "The annual Toronto Santa Claus Parade which has run for over a century, has historically maintained a safe track record free of firearm violence." --

Compare and contrast...

-- "At the 2019 Toronto Raptors Championship Parade four people were shot and injured at Nathan Phillips Square." --

And...

-- "At the 2026 Salsa on St. Clair Festival, a gun battle left two men dead and multiple others injured." --

And...the most high profile incident...

-- "At Caribana 2011 1 person was killed and 2 others injured." --

There have been at least seven notable shooting incidents directly associated with the Toronto Caribbean Carnival (Caribana).

AS IF IRELAND DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH TROUBLE...

-- "Axel Erick Wolfgang Liebsch Morales, 33, from South America, was wearing a balaclava and carrying a Sig semi-automatic handgun and two clips of ammunition.  His body was taken to University Hospital Limerick, where Gardaí put his fingerprints into the Interpol system. It was discovered he was wanted for two murders in another EU jurisdiction. The driver of the car that was carrying the gunman fled the scene." --

AND, YES... WE'RE ALL THINKING IT...

-- "A bus was engulfed in flames in western Switzerland on Tuesday killing at least six people and injuring five others. 'The police are currently treating the fire as a man-made incident, and even a deliberate act,' Fribourg cantonal police sergeant Frederic Papaux said, without providing further details." --

FROM THE FOLKS WHO BROUGHT YOU BARBEQUING WOMEN AT THEIR HUSBAND'S FUNERALS...

-- "The woman, who goes by Poonam, reportedly drowned her young relative in a tub of water in Panipat, northern India, on Monday.   Poonan also reportedly confessed to previously murdering another three children, including another niece and her own son, whom she also drowned." --

COME FOR THE GULLAH GEECHEE... STAY FOR THE GUNFIGHT...

-- "At least four people were killed and 20 injured early Sunday in a shooting at a bar in St. Helena Island, South Carolina.  The shooting unfolded around 1 a.m. at Willie’s Bar and Grill, at 7 Dr. Martin Luther Drive on St. Helena Island, north of Savannah, Ga., according to the Beaufort County Sheriff's Office. The names of the victims killed in the shooting are being withheld." --

Willie's, Willie's... that sounds so familiar...

-- "Welcome to Willie's Breakfast Bar and Grill.   Community is at the heart of everything we do. We're not just a restaurant but a community pillar committed to giving back, especially to our youth. Experience the heartwarming spirit of the Gullah Geechee culture." --

UPDATE: Victims identified...

-- "Beaufort County coroner’s office identified the dead as Kashawn Glaze, 22, Chiraad Smalls, 33, Amos Gary, 54 and A’shan’tek Milledge, 22." --

MY FIRST QUESTION IS, 'WHY ARE WE WAREHOUSING MERCILESS KILLERS?'

-- "Last year, five years after she messed up her day parole with a secret love triangle with two ex-cons, Todorovic was granted four 15-day unescorted passes to a Barrie halfway house to work on her re-entry into society." --

You think Russell Williams, Paul Bernardo or Melissa Todorovic are ever going to be members of polite society? 

It's time to bring back the gallows.

THOSE DARNED SWEDES ARE AT IT AGAIN...

STOCKHOLM -- "A Swedish man was convicted and sentenced to life in prison on Thursday for his role in the 2015 killing of a Jordanian pilot by the Islamic State militant group, Swedish media reported." --

B IS FOR BATSHIT...

-- "A public high school in Fairfax County, Virginia, decorated its history hallway with a polarizing alphabetic display for Women's History Month, beginning with 'A is for Abortion.'" --

It gets better...

-- "The 'A is for Abortion' section of the display featured an image of a coat hanger and a positive pregnancy test." --

Britain aids in own extinction...

-- "The leftist government in Britain has announced that the ‘morning-after’ birth control pill will be offered free of charge to women at pharmacies throughout the country." --

♪ "THE SMOKE OF A DISTANT FIRE..." ♪

-- A massive fire broke out at a Californian power plant early Friday morning, threatening one of the largest battery energy storage facilities in the world. Officials are not actively fighting the fire, the Monterey Sheriff spokesperson said, and are instead leaving the building and the batteries to burn on the advice of fire experts." --

ANOTHER DAY... ANOTHER AKBAR...

-- "Police in Belgium arrested three minors in their late teens and an adult man aged 18 on Sunday after they allegedly exchanged messages to plot a jihadi terror attack. Local authorities have remained highly vigilant since the 2016 attacks by suicide bombers that killed 32 people in blasts at Brussels airport and the city's metro system." --

-- "Not that Canada doesn't have diversity/strength issues...

Terrorism charges have been laid in the case of Edmonton security guard Bezhani Sarvar, 28, who is accused of firing a rifle and lobbing firebombs inside city hall in January." --

And...

-- "James Mousaly, 36, a former Ontario nuclear power plant worker charged with leaking secret information to a foreign entity or terrorist group has been denied bail. If convicted, Mousaly faces a maximum possible sentence of life in prison." --

Is Canada's critical infrastructure safe from hostile regimes?

IT'S PAST TIME FOR ISRAEL TO REALLY DEAL WITH ISLAMIC TERRORISM

-- "As of press time, more than 300 Israelis have been killed, and more than 1,500 wounded. An unknown number have been kidnapped to Gaza and are still being held hostage." --

And theres this...

In another instance, a woman’s dead body was paraded on the back of a truck, nearly naked, under the boots of Palestinian gunmen as they shouted 'Allahu Akbar!'

These savages must be punished.

PUTIN'S CORLEONE-LIKE MASTER STROKE

PRIGOZHIN FORGOT HE WAS DEALING WITH A SHARK...

-- “The decision to put so many senior-level people on one plane was a poor decision, as key figures should always fly separately. Prigozhin was feeling overconfident. He might have genuinely been made to feel like he was pardoned.” --

Let's just cut to it...

-- "For many Russian insiders, the bigger question is how he defied Putin and remained alive for so long." --

WEAK HORSE - STRONG HORSE

SHORTER SUHAIL SHAHEEN: 

Seriously, bruh... we're supposed to be afraid of the old guy who can't handle stairs?

"The Taliban warned the United States on Friday that there will be a “reaction” from the insurgent group should Washington not follow through on a May 1 deadline for the withdrawal of its troops from Afghanistan.

Well... he'll never do that again

"Daniel Lewis Lee, 47, was injected with a lethal dose of pentobarbital at 8:07 a.m., just hours after the Supreme Court greenlit the first federal execution to take place since 2003."

Lee was convicted of multiple offenses, including three counts of murder in aid of racketeering in the 1996 slayings of William Frederick Mueller, his wife Nancy Ann Mueller and his 8-year-old stepdaughter, Sarah Elizabeth Powell.

Nothing up Hillary's sleeves

After being arrested in New Hampshire, she was brought to court and remanded in custody, for transfer to New York. Ms Maxwell is the daughter of late British media mogul Robert Maxwell.

♫ The night the lights went out in... ♫

...well... you know...

The Georgia State House voted 152-3 to allow voters to decide to eliminate their county police departments, moving authority to county sheriff’s offices.

The county police currently handle the enforcement of state and local laws while the sheriff’s office manages the jails.

Yeah, no more cops!

I mean, what could possibly go wrong?

MEANWHILE BACK AT THE [PETA] RANCH:

F@ck racism... we heart Bambi...

Dozens of puppies were found dead after arriving on a flight from Ukraine’s capital to Toronto last weekend, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) confirms.

Just Paws Animal Rescue, a not-for-profit organization, tells CityNews it believes the dogs were coming to Canada for brokers to sell on Kijiji.

And... she died like she lived... stupidly

Animal rights activist says a protester has died after being hit by a truck outside a slaughterhouse in Burlington.

The group plans to hold an all-night vigil in honour of their friend and the pigs she loved, said Anita Krajnc, co-founder of the group Toronto Pig Save.

Whoa... giving drinkies to piggies in moving stock trucks apparently not a good, er... sustainable idea.

Who knew?

Antifa just crossed a line

An investigation is underway after three New York City Police Department (NYPD) officers were allegedly poisoned with bleach at a Lower Manhattan Shake Shack on Monday evening.

“Tonight, three of our fellow officers were intentionally poisoned by one or more workers at the Shake Shack at 200 Broadway in Manhattan.”

UPDATE:

An investigation of the incident did not find evidence of a crime from any Shake Shack employees.

Hmmm.
