Metro Toronto has a population of 6 million. It is comparable in size to Washington, DC & Philadelphia. So it had 30 homicides by mid October, which means, say 35 or 40 by year end. Those 2 US cities had about 400 & 350 in the same period. So Toronto does not look too bad. |

I think the good thing is how well she followed instructions. An additional good thing is that she did not kill anyone. Killing someone would have been very hard to live with for the rest of her life. |

Most our gun violence problems could be solved with involuntary abortion and sterilization in some populations.

Killing someone stays with you the rest of your life no matter what the circumstances. You are not going to go on with life as it was before if you are involved in stances like this, no matter what the outcome. I agree with Don and Colo. This youngster knew how to follow instructions, knew where the family gun was secured, and knew how to handle the weapon. This was not by accident, she had to have had instructions and the family had to have discussed the what to do and what not to do prior to this incident. Most likely refreshed on a regular basis. I question comes down to this. Do you want to be raped, beaten, humiliated, terrorized and have your valuables stolen or not? The trauma will be there regardless if you get away Scott free. Or do you want to be prepared and increase the odds that the outcome will be less pleasant? I honestly question the comments from Canada that there is less of this type of incidents happening. I spend alot of time there and know what is going on in the community. People are being mugged, robbed, assaulted, murdered, raped and terrorized. Maybe not hurt or killed at the end of a gun, but the outcome is the same. A guy was feeding girls to his hogs not an hour's drive from my home up there. |
