The police talk about getting tough while the Liberal-appointed judges undermine the efforts of the police. But of course, we all forget that lawyers and the legal field have a vested interest in crime; after all, the legal field is a business, and crime, etc. is good for business.

Of course, as a non-criminal, I'd be the only one without a gun because in Canada, it's both illegal and unpopular to want to defend yourself.

I do see a problem with people shooting people at a childrens hospital or a pizza place at supper time. These are places and non drug related people frequent as well and someone innocent is going to get hurt over these shananigans!

He was present when the first shooting occurred. So yes, I'm understandably upset. He's not going there anymore, and we're keeping him very close to him. Too bad these idiots wouldn't just head to a woods road and shoot each other there. :(
