There are too many people who have made "Street Violence" a cottage industry and they milk it for every penny of funding............
Local governments piss and moan about Federal Gun Laws.
Where should fingers be pointed?
Indeed, at a system. If fingers are to be pointed, point them at the Mayor and Council of the City of Toronto and at the Provincial government that have decided to warehouse poor immigrant families in gang factories. Underserve the communities and don't provide positive outlets or opportunities. Let poor kids without hope only be given the opportunity to hang around other poor kids without hope.
It is our local system that is at fault here. Miller and McGuinty are responsible for housing and education. They are the ones that are warehousing poor kids in neighbourhoods where the dream is to flash around wads of cash.
Would anyone who might read this deny the benefits for our city of spending the money needed to provide housing that is clean and safe and provides an expectation of hope? (Don't point to the 'new' Regent Park- this is replicating the existing disaster.)
We should also point our fingers at poverty activists who march on Rosedale demanding more high density, no income housing that are the kilns that harden kids.
Will the Jordan Manners story change things. No.
Homicides are up almost 25% over last year, and Miller and his minions are saying they've turned the corner on gun crimes...
