No word yet from Mayor Miller's office...

...on calling for a prohibition on automobiles... within city limits...
-- TORONTO -- A deadly weekend hit-and-run that claimed the life of a 25-year-old man in Scarborough is now deemed to be the city’s 11th slaying of the year.

Homicide Det.-Sgt. Frank Skubic said the victim, Nanthi Eashan Dharmaratnam, was with two friends in the east end of the parking lot at Terraview Adult Learning Centre, on Pharmacy Ave. just south of Hwy. 401, shortly before 3 a.m. on Saturday when another man in a blue 2005 Chevrolet Monte Carlo arrived to meet with them.

“They had an altercation, following which the victim was struck,” Skubis alleged, adding Dharmaratnam was run down “deliberately.”

A Canada-wide warrant has now been issued for Seran Kasilingam, known on the streets as “Kutty Shawn.” Skubic said the 28-year-old is wanted for second-degree murder.
Damn nasty cars... it's about time somebody did something.

FROM THE COMMENTS:
"Oh don't you worry neo. Banning cars in the city has been a desire of Millers for a long time."
And that murder thing... if only there was a law.

"...and what many non-owners appreciate, is that the registry is to gun control what surrendering your water bottle is to airline security — a collective farce endured by many law-abiding citizens so that a fearful few can rest easier knowing that something is being done to keep them safe."

"As symbols go, it’s not a particularly convincing one — can someone please explain to me why I’m supposed to feel better about being shot with a gun that has a notation in some federal database as opposed to one that doesn’t? — but like all symbols, it has its True Believers."

"What goes unsaid in these debates is that in a free society, even one as peaceful and prosperous as ours, people occasionally snap and do terrible, unpredictable things, such as killing Const. Pham. Another layer of bureaucracy isn’t going to change human nature."
Ain't it the truth.
