Another one bites the dust

Just another evening in Toronto.

A man was shot to death last night in an apparent gun battle on a northeast Toronto street corner.

Residents heard as many as five gunshots and the sounds of screeching tires on Bonis Ave. near Birchmount Rd. and Sheppard Ave. E. at about 11:20 p.m.

Police arrived to find the victim sprawled at the rear of the Agincourt Mall.

No word on whether the perp was a duck hunter or a target shooter.

  1. Apparently there were two duck hunting rifles on a rampage yesterday:

  2. You’d be out shooting people too if you had an IQ of 65 and were suited for nothing greater than siring 8 kids on welfare. It’s gotta be frustrating.

    INP, are you advocating for enforced sterilization of those with low I.Q’s?

    Yes it may be frustrating to be below the norm in intelligence but that is no excuse to either shoot up the neighbourhood or to pop out progeny like chicklets. A comment like yours is a main part of the problem today. “It’s not my fault, I was . . . . .(insert excuse here)”

    Where did personal responsibility go? Where did facing the consequences of your actions go?

    Those with lower IQ’s have a lot of resources at their disposal. Government programes are plentiful. Thye, however, have to be accountable just like anyone else.

  4. I also believe that we should provide free handguns to anyone with an IQ below 65 and at least 4 kids with 4 different baby mammas. I’d charge for the bullets though. After all, these people have to develop some sort of understanding that you get what you pay for.
