Scummy Punks With Guns

The murder of an innocent bystander walking past a notorious strip club in the wee hours over the weekend is infuriating.

I know that some peoples’ reactions will be, gee, it’s too bad, but what was the guy doing walking past The Brass Rail at 1 am? My response to that is, gee, I dunno, living his life? Getting from point A to B on Yonge Street on a night on the town? It’s not as if he was willingly in a crime-riddled part of own, in the middle of a crack deal between rival gang members!

Police allege the two shooters had just been kicked out of the BR. I shudder to think about what you have to do to get tossed from such a place. Once on the street, they’re accused of opening fire on a club staff member, missing, and hitting the passerby in the head, killing him. If they did, they’re dangerously stupid and stupidly dangerous.

I listened to a guy on Coast To Coast radio last week who firmly believes that everyone – and I mean everyone – should carry a gun. I think he’s out of his freakin’ mind! Look at these so-called tough gang-bangers who buy a cool weapon and don’t even know how to use it. What a shock! It’s not like in the movies – who knew?

I don’t care if their Mommies didn’t hug them enough or they were picked last in Red Rover and it scarred them for life. We are, as a society, too soft on criminals. We always have been. There’s not enough of a deterrent. Only fools who believe they’re omnipotent would even think of attempting to do something as reckless and wasteful as taking an innocent human life.
