Will the left wing now be bleating for a knife registry?Murder-by-knife is a growing trend on our streets that must be taken more seriously by increasing joke sentences |
"There's no trend there."
Staff-Insp. Brian Raybould, homicide squad

Despite the spinning of small comfort that no trend exists in the perceived increase in murder-by-knife, the 14-year-old daughter of two Toronto cops will be laid to rest today in a private funeral ceremony.
Stefanie Rengel, left bleeding to death from stab wounds only a few steps from her St. Clair-O'Connor home on New Year's Day, will be going to her grave with the tragic distinction of being Toronto's first murder victim of 2008.
And so the count in this city is already on, as two teens, a 15-year-old girl and a then 17-year-old boy, stand charged with first-degree murder, their identities protected by the stringent confines of the Youth Criminal Justice Act, and despite the fact the boy yesterday turned 18 -- proof, once again, that timing is everything when it comes to a flawed law.
