There oughta be a law...

Two black gangs throw shots around Toronto's biggest shopping mall... so naturally, Prime Minister Dressup wants to take away my legal, registered firearms. Where's the public outrage?Which somehow gets transposed into...

"Investigators said there were at least three males in each party, but detailed suspect descriptions were not provided for all of them."

And...

"Police tweeted that they were seeking two men in their 20s, one of whom may be carrying a handgun."

Because, you know... racism.

FWIW, I was actually in Toronto yesterday, picking up Neophyte and doing a little shopping. I could very easily have ended up at Yorkdale Mall, but instead chose to go downtown.

I really should know better.

Oh, it gets better... by which I mean worse...

“He was pro-social,” Miller recalled on Monday. “He wanted to change his life. Didn’t want to continue to be involved in the criminal justice system.”

RELATED2: Usual suspects, usual victims...

Quick... somebody call a social worker...

A man believed to be in his 20s is dead after a shooting took place at Warden Avenue and Danforth Road in the early hours of Friday. Police have now identified Alpha Conteh, of Toronto, as the city’s 71st murder victim of the year.

More social housing, please...

A 37-year-old man is now accused of killing his mother in a Regent Park apartment complex earlier this week. Matthew Kirk Maxwell, of Toronto, was arrested at the scene and charged with second-degree murder.

UPDATE: TORONTO HOMICIDE #01/2026... INEVITABLY, THE GUYS WITH THE WAY-COOL NAMES...

-- "Toronto Police say 40-year-old Tyrel Gibson,has now been charged in the fatal shooting of another man on a GO bus near Yorkdale mall over the weekend. He is facing one count of first-degree murder." --

The 'jungle drums were all over 'Relly's Yorkdale crashout'...

-- "Babatunde Afuwape, 28, of Toronto, has been arrested and charged with First Degree Murder.    Police believe Avasthi was randomly targeted in the attack and did not know the suspect" --  

Extortion gangs ramping up... no fear of cops...

-- "The Mayor of Caledon, Ont., is speaking out after a local business was shot at for the second time in two weeks in what police say could be related to an ongoing series of extortions in the area." --

Once again, Toronto shooters use...

..."cloak of invisibility" to perpetrate ghastly crime...

Come for the shopping, stay for the firefight.

"Investigators are still trying to determine what may have led to the shooting. The only description put out by police is that they’re looking for three individuals that were in a dark vehicle."

"Police Chief Mark Saunders says one of the victims 'has a history of gun violence' and has twice served time for firearms-related offences."

“We are trying to get information out of the victims and no one is cooperating.”

Yes, it's a mystery. The usual knuckleheads.

UPDATE: And Inspector Clouseau wept...

Police have since obtained surveillance from the area that shows two groups shooting at each other, Const. Scott Mills said. "It is still unclear if the shooting was gang-related, but the guns and gangs squad is investigating."

TRAVEL BACK IN TIME WITH ME TO 2006

The Conservative government wants to bring in a series of escalating minimum jail terms of up to 10 years for gun crimes, targeted especially at offences committed with restricted weapons or by gang members.

But Toews faced a combined opposition of Liberal, Bloc Québécois and NDP MPs at the justice committee — who have already watered down the government's bid to restrict conditional sentences, including house arrest.

LAST WORD: Smarter Volk than I...

"But how will Ralph Goodale chase down Nazis running rampant in Canada, if we get rid of the RCMP?"

TORONTO HOMICIDE #01/2026...

-- "Toronto Police said an unnamed male suspect has been arrested and a gun has been recovered after a male was murdered on a bus at the busy Yorkdale bus terminal on Sunday evening." --

Yorkdale Mall is a happening place.

TORONTO HOMICIDE #21/2025... WHILE LIBERALS CHASE AFTER MY LEGAL FIREARMS...

-- "One male victim in his 20s is dead following a shooting outside Yorkdale Shopping Centre in North York at Highway 401 and Dufferin Street. There is no suspect description available at this time, and authorities state that there is no threat to public safety.." --

Apparently, the real threat, according to the Liberal Party of Canada, is the legal, registered guns I have locked up in my home. 

Time travel with me to 2013...

-- "Toronto Police Det. Rob North stated the two men shot outside the Yorkdale Shopping Centre on Saturday night were both 'known members' of the 'Asian Assassins.'" --

Liberals step up campaign to destroy Canada. 

UPDATE: YORKDALE MALL STABBER IDENTIFIED

-- "Toronto Police are requesting the public’s assistance in locating a 48-year-old male suspect wanted in connection with a stabbing at Yorkdale Mall on Wednesday night. The suspect brandished a knife and attempted to stab the woman. The woman's friend intervened and was stabbed multiple times by the suspect." --

Should've stayed in peaceful, fun-loving Mogadishu, I guess...

There’s Shamso Mohamoud, whose 18-year-old son was shot in the head near a Yorkdale mall housing complex in 2008. There’s Ayan Ali Abddow, whose 17-year-old son was fatally stabbed outside an Etobicoke apartment in 2016.

There’s Shamso Elmi, whose 24-year-old son was killed in 2015 in Vancouver.

Every woman here has been touched by the violence they say is crippling their community. The mothers say their Canadian-born Somali youth face disproportionate gun and gang violence.

Those horrible, homicidal Canadians, yessirree bob.

Yup, Ali... it would have been different. If it was a "white Canadian" who'd been murdered... his buddies would have testified and put the murderer away.

There wouldn't have been any of this "code of the street" horseshit.

MEANWHILE BACK AT THE RANCH: Somali, Somali...

A jury found Abdulahi Hasan Sharif guilty Friday on all charges, including five counts of attempted murder, after a three-week trial that was in part defined by what wasn’t before the jury.

Meanwhile, in other undocumented firearms news...

-- "Peel Police have arrested Daniel Solis, 20 and Ashley Morales, 21, and have charged them with a combined 20 firearm and drug-related charges following a traffic stop in Brampton." --

"Much like professional basketball..."

..."pimping is a bit of a monoculture"...

"The Human Trafficking Enforcement Team, with the assistance of the Emergency Task Force, 11 Division and 43 Division officers, located and arrested Jamaal Koehler, 25, of Toronto."

Apparently, it's "a strong industry" with "lots of customers."

Up until recently, nobody even cared...

"A former Toronto man, Imani Nakpamgi, 25, who made more than $400,000 selling two young girls for sex has pleaded guilty to two counts of human trafficking."

"Police believe it's one of the first human trafficking convictions since legislation was enacted in November 2005."

But, wait... there's more...

Toronto police say one male has suffered serious injuries after a shooting near Yorkdale Shopping Centre on Ranee Avenue just east of Dufferin Street, around 11:30 p.m. Monday night.

I suppose it could be worse...

"This violence is occurring in a city where gun control has been the go-to solution for crime for decades. The city banned handgun ownership in 1982, only to see the murder rate skyrocket."
