A Thoughtful Memorial

I wonder if someone would take on the task of painting gun ghosts at the sites where people have been killed due to gang violence......

THE DEVIL IS IN THE DETAILS

By Shawn Micallef

Ghost bikes Twenty-six cyclists have died in Toronto over the last 10 years in collisions, with many more injured. To memorialize their deaths and draw attention to how dangerous it can be to bicycle in the city, Geoffrey Bercarich, along with ARC (Advocacy for Respect for Cyclists), installs whitewashed “ghost bikes” at the sites of fallen cyclists. The memorials, “abandoned bikes,” are often removed by the city. Bercarich recently replaced the ghost bike at Keele and Finch, installed for Bianca Gogel, a 16-year-old killed by a turning truck last year.

I lean to the right but I still have a heart and if I have a mission it is to respond to attacks on people not available to protect themselves and to point out the hypocrisy of the left at every opportunity.MY MAJOR GOAL IS HIGHLIGHT THE HYPOCRISY AND STUPIDITY OF THE LEFTISTS ON TORONTO CITY COUNCIL. Last word: In the final analysis this blog is a relief valve for my rants/raves.
