Big smoke... in the Big Smoke

How pissed off you have to be with somebody... it's not enough... just to kill them?
-- Essa Township -- Arrest warrants have been issued for three Toronto men after a burned out body was found in a ditch north of the city.

Emergency crews found the remains of 47-year-old Ali Garakan, of Thornhill, who was identified by dental records. A post-mortem examination showed Garakan had died from a stab wound to his chest, police said.

Arrest warrants have been issued for Mohammed Al Kazragy, 23, Payam Khastou, 25, and Arash Arashvand, 22, all of Toronto and all wanted on charges of second-degree murder.

WELCOME, YET AGAIN, READERS OF CANADIAN CYNIC

Sitemeter is tellin' me... he's baaa-aaack.

Apparently Censorious Cynic objects to anyone hearing about the recent rash of homicides in urban Ontario. Or maybe... since I have yet to see him freak out about the television and newspaper coverage... it's just me he objects to.

I suspect he's still just kinda touchy about this little gem.

You've also gotta love this guy's total lack of self-awareness as he tries to pin the "neo-nazi" tail... on another prominent conservative blogger.

Good grief.

LAST WORD: Remember Toronto's Ambassador Cab program?

I guess there's still a few bugs in the system...
"Witnesses report hearing some sort of altercation. They heard a voice or voices. The next thing that's heard is a crash, then the first sight is a Beck taxi southbound on Dovercourt Rd.," he said.

The man, 36, was found next to a bicycle on the sidewalk with his leg nearly severed. His leg was amputated later in hospital, where he remained in critical condition, Burrows said.

Into the afternoon, investigators were still trying to figure out "the root of the altercation," but Burrows said it was clear the cabbie "knew he hit the cyclist."
