And Winston Churchill wept

Once again, the capricious and unknowable will of, well... THAT GUY...mo murder
A huge counter-terrorism investigation is under way after a bucket bomb was detonated on a packed London Underground train at Parsons Green. Witnesses described scenes of terror and panic after the blast sent a "fireball" and a "wall of flame" through a District line service in west London.

At least 22 people were injured, including a boy believed to be aged about 10.
Could have been much worse... apparently the device malfunctioned, likely a fortuitous by-product of centuries of cousin-marriage.

Stand by for the usual flood of candles and teddy bear memorials...
Social media was similarly awash with people offering a comforting hot drink to those caught up in the aftermath.
As Kate at SDA is wont to say... "We won't let these atrocities change us... and that's a mistake."

A 33-year-old man is dead after being shot several times overnight around 3 a.m. inside a building on Glamorgan Avenue, near Kennedy and Ellesmere roads.

The victim has been identified as Anthony Soares
.
Wait a minute... you mean Anthony “Fif” Soares.
“Just know man like Fif, he’s a sickaz/ You get tanned, he don’t miss tings,” Drake rapped on the record.
Well, "tings" sure didn't miss him.

The MSM ain't talking about the Drake connect here because, uh... patriarchy?

And...
A dramatic scene broke out in the Jane St. and Driftwood Ave. area this morning in what has been described as a knife fight that resulted in police shooting a suspect.
And...
Toronto police have charged 24-year-old Yeshudyan Ragbir with first-degree murder after a woman was found without vital signs in a North York home Wednesday.
It happens so often nowadays... nobody really cares anymore.
