There isn't enough detail in the story to do much more than joke. Ok, a couple "groups of men" fought it out behind a restaurant at 3:30 AM and someone got knifed.... I'll have to wait for the ethnicity and collective age of the groups of men is revealed before I decide whether to portray one of the following:
- "when I was young..." guy bemoaning the lawlessness of today's youth, despite crime statistics being generally down in the last few years
- bigot guy saying we should send every one of their worthless butts back where they came from, for as we all know native Canadians don't commit violent crime because it is impolite
- law'n'order guy calling for life sentences for all, with a soupçon of illegal violent prison rape added on top of the sentence because the disconnect between being a "defender of order" and advocating illegality is so hard to comprehend
- "Think of the children!" guy who will wring his hands over this happening in a residential neighborhood where children could possibly have been injured by a guy throwing the murder weapon into an open bedroom window
- bleeding heart guy who thinks that the answer to this kind of violence is more gov't money and social engineering programs
I'll check the Sun tomorrow for inspiration, as I don't want to let any facts get in the way of my ultimate decision.
