Multiple Victims Shot in Toronto's Greektown
News is just starting to come out on the incident that happened on Danforth. Scary stuff - it's a very busy area in Toronto with tons of restaurants that I'd frequent quite a bit when I lived there.
Really hoping there aren't any deaths. The shooter is dead though.

Just reading up on Toronto and its problem with gang and gun problems, it sounds like its becoming a real issue.

Man, the gun violence in Toronto is out of control lately. What the hell is going on in that city?

Gangs. Which are usually the consequence of lots of young men who didn't have dads in their lives.

A few theories exist, but the main culprit police are pointing at is the inability to card people. Which I don't agree with, but it's turning into a free for all in Toronto.

Bleeding heart judges going far to easy on people caught with illegal guns is a huge problem as well, there's no fear of getting caught.

Guys just walking on the sidewalk, stops, pulls out a gun and starts firing. That’s horrifying.
Hoping the victims can pull through, especially the little girl in critical condition.

Very sad. Sounds like he just walked down Danforth and began firing into restaurants that he passed.
Warning: Link shows the actual shooter firing into a building but doesn't actually show any person getting hurt.

That's Pantheon Restaurant in the background on the far right, which means he's almost certainly firing into Megas. Has anyone heard if he shot up one place or was on a rampage? Given his direction of travel in the space of two blocks he could have ripped up the heart of the Greek restaurant scene there - Mezes, Pappas Grill, Kalyvia, Astoria and at least three other restaurants that would likely have been open for business, open to the sidewalk and busy with diners. Just terrible.

Reason: More restaurants as the mofo probably kept going westward

It would be incredibly sad ironic if the Black Lives Matter movement resulted in an increase to black lives lost.

Not racist or anything...but it's probably another white guy who was sad he couldnt get laid, get a girlfriend and/or get a good job (even with his amazing education from dog #### university or some equally amazing educational institution). So because the world is so unfair to his race and gender he's finally got his revenge on the Chad's, Stacey's and mohammads or the world.
The police really need to start a stop and frisk / carding program on white dudes and pushing for stricter gun control on these guys too. Or maybe start raiding the basements of white couple's that have grown adult boys still living in their basement. Don't get me wrong...I realize it's not all white guys, but seriously you don't see Chinese and Indian guys going on shooting sprees in this country.
