WTF was everyone else doing while this was taking place?
More proof that Canadians have “polited” themselves into docility.
A gang of 10 teenagers violently robbed scores of subway commuters yesterday afternoon during the peak of commuter rush hour.
The youths, all aged about 15, robbed numerous people — sometimes punching victims in the face — between 4 and 6 p.m. in the stairwells and platforms at stations along the Bloor St. and Yonge St. lines.
In Toronto rush hour, there are thousands of people teeming through the subway system. You mean to tell me that no one could put down a gang of pimply-faced thugs? They just handed over their belongings to a bunch of brats without any kind of protest?
Unacceptable. Were they waiting for the government to step in and pass a resolution or something? If we can’t defend ourselves on the personal level, how can we be expected to defend the rights and interests of our entire country?
Toronto is such a pathetic excuse for a “world class” city.

Those little bastards need a good beating. But, nothing will be done.

I’m actually surprised these creeps haven’t figured out earlier that almost anyone can be robbed almost anywhere. If you are attacked by more than two people you’re in trouble; with ten people it’s over before it begins. So, why stop at the subway? You can go into a store and rob everyone, customers and staff. You can wait at a stoplight and carjack three cars at once. The possibilities are endless. How about the Go train? A couple of guns at each end of the carriage and a pick-up car at the next station — piece of cake.
Such slow learners; do we have to go around with signs saying ‘Rob me first?’ Oh, I forgot, we already do.

Right Girl, do you realize what would happen to you if you bounced Junior’s little young offender head off a wall while he and his little friends were robbing you?
Bankruptcy by lawyers fees at least, and that’s if you let them cut you first.
Give the brat money and move on, or be destroyed by the “justice” system.
Besides, Frank’s right. Five on one, you only win that in Jackie Chan movies.
