Default Gang War in Toronto

Sounds like 5 shooting deaths in the last day out of 6 shooting.

Defund the police and send the social workers in to deal with these heavily armed drug war fueled individuals !

Back to back political posts from different agendas, nice.

You should also edit your post as I don’t see five deaths reported in any of your articles, injuries though.

Or better yet actually use the laws in place and put people in jail when caught with an illegal gun, our justice system sux and should be re-hauled immediately.

Good, he was a murderer himself who got a slap on the wrist, hope he suffered a little.

Well one of the items being campaigned for by BLM protestors is to legalize drugs. This is because it criminalizes people of Color at disproportionate rates. However legalizing drugs, using the money spent on drug enforcement, and jails for drug users and dealers to help with addictions.

So yes the goals of the groups wanting to defund the police would likely help with the gang war over the long term.

I don't see why you'd throw logic into the mix.

Nah, easier to punish legal gun owners for doing nothing than actually go after illegal guns

I would expect that this revolves around his killing, he was a brutal monster who should have never left prison.

Live by the sword, die by the sword. After executing a hit on a rival family's underboss, I'm actually surprised he's lived for 14 years since being released, though the article does note that he and his brother have been targeted before.

The little I know of the Portuguese model, I seem to like it.

From what I understand (and I could be off) ALL drugs decriminalized, and can be prescribed by doctors and administered by pharmacists (sounds like how we administer methadone).

Controlled environment, ability to provide a social network for help, and stigmatize addictions.

This is basically where I got my information, while Jim Jefferies is a comedian the premise is they have an actual expert on the show, Jim tells everything he knows about the topic, then the expert corrects and expands upon the topic.

The expert for the war on drugs was Johann Hari
