Just imagine how sinister he was to have watched a city burn due in large part due to his lies and not be so bothered by it to admit the truth until years after the fact." --

Everybody deserves a second cha...

The woman found dead inside her Rexdale townhome Wednesday night, after a fire police say was intentionally set, has been identified to Global News as Yvonne Bachelor, 61.

Bachelor’s son, 24-year-old Joel Vassell, has been charged with arson and is facing further charges.
Wait... it gets better...
Vassell, who was found not criminally responsible in June 2015 on charges of assault with a weapon and attempted murder in 2014 involving his mother and grandmother, respectively, was living in the community.
Well... if they put him away for another 12 months, at least it gives Granny a chance to find a better place to hide.

The Usual Susp... well, you know...

Surprise, surprise... not the folks with the legal, registered firearms... again...most wanted
After the killing of a 17-year-old, Winston Poyser, now 26, was arrested for first-degree murder. He told police he was present, but it was twin brothers Shakiyl and Lenneil Shaw and Mohamed Ali-Nur who were responsible for shooting Jarryl Hagley inside the pizza outlet in the Weston Road and Lawrence Avenue West.
And another one...
A Toronto man, Simeon Harty, convicted of the unprovoked fatal shooting of Kevin Gidden, a young man a judge described as “quiet, happy and loving” was sent to prison for life Thursday with no parole eligibility for 14 years.
You know the drill... diversity... strength...

The shooting is the latest in a string of mob-related crimes in the Hamilton area over the past few years. Angelo Musitano, Pat’s younger brother, was shot and killed while sitting in a pickup truck in the driveway of his family home on Chesapeake Dr. on May 2, 2017.

Earlier this year, 43-year-old Cece Luppino was found dead inside a Mountain Brow Blvd. home that belonged to his father, Rocco.

Where stereotypes come from

Although it's possible that being killed for your "bling" is more of a caricature...
TORONTO - Mohammed and a friend — a man wearing a “tremendous amount of expensive gold jewelry” — visited the restroom where they were attacked by three men who tried to snatch the friend’s chains, homicide Det.-Sgt. Gary Giroux said about a week after the slaying. “A violent struggle ensued” and Mohammed helped his friend break free from his assailants, Giroux said.

The two pals headed to the front of the restaurant, which was filled with upwards of 60 patrons at the time. The attackers followed, gunfire erupted and Mohammed was killed.

Marcus Gibson, 22, and Ceyon Carrington, 28, both of Toronto, are now each charged with first-degree murder and other related offences, police said.
Which raises the question... is it racism... IF IT'S FACTUAL?
Blacks are about 14% of US population; but young black men are about 13% of the total black population. So, 13 X 14 = 1.82, less than 2% of our population commits more than half of all American gun murders.
If this math is correct it is truly mind-boggling.

THE SELF-INFLICTED INJURY FILES:

"Sure, Martin Luther King Jr. didn’t explicitly say he had a dream that one day your cousin Mooney could get crunk in any establishment regardless of color in his famous speech, but that’s still a part of being free.

Those damn Mennonites...

...are at it again...
Police said the victim of the brazen, 3:30 p.m. shooting -- also a young man -- is not being much help to investigators and refusing to provide much detail. In fact, he cursed at police in the back of the ambulance when they grilled him for information.

Police arrested two men, allegedly affiliated with the Crips street gang, at the scene on Friday afternoon. The men, believed to be in their 20s, were held for several hours, questioned and released without charge. Police said they are known to Guns and Gangs investigators.
The victim, who is expected to make a full recovery, is known to police.

It was the city's record-breaking 46th shooting of the year -- double the number from 2011 and 16 more than last year.
Sleep tight Ottawa.

UPDATE: As Canadian as Gamil Gharbi
The accused, 26-year-old Yaqoub Ali, like many of the “persons of interest” (Abdulaziz & Nawaf Al-Enzi) and even victims (Adel Al-Enzi) in the 48 reported shootings in 2014, is well known to the police guns and gangs unit.

Adel and Abdulaziz are half-brothers of Nawaf Al-Enzi, who is awaiting a second trial for what’s alleged to be the gangland execution of Ledbury-Banff Crips member and drug dealer Mohamad Zalal.
Yup... Mennonites.

Burying the lede?

How far will your average politically correct "professional journalist" go... not to mention the "M" word?

Pretty far, it seems... although there's apparently some compelling reason to bring real-estate agents into the blood-soaked, medieval mix.what's muslim got to do with it
The Crown prosecutor told court that although media reports at the time described the attacks as a family “honour crime”, nothing in the case file supports that theory.
Nothing you say? Seriously?

Okay, let's get it out there... this guy is, as Licia Corbella would say, "not one of us."

What's that you say... too harsh?

I'm afraid I'll have to disagree. Vehemently. Cutting bits off a family pet, never mind your daughter... puts you squarely on the sociopathological end of the parental discipline continuum. (Hmmm... cutting bits off women... that actually sounds kind of familiar, but for now let's get back to the matter at hand).
His wife and daughter had just returned from his daughter’s new apartment. The father had never agreed that his eldest daughter, 20, could move out. And when she said her father no longer controlled her life, he said that in fact he did and slapped her across the face.
You listen to folks like Justin Trudeau, Ottawa is Progressia Central. I get that modern parents may have moved past traditional western sanctions like spanking and grounding... but this guy seems to have picked up his parenting chops (pun intended) from, and I'm just guessing here, the 11th century.
He then grabbed a butcher knife from the kitchen and slashed his daughter in the shoulder. When she tried to grab it to stop the attack, her right pinky finger was severed and her ring finger partially severed.
Our "professional" scribe apparently can't quite bring himself to label this attempted murder... and instead shifts over to the passive tense.
His wife suffered severe defensive wounds to... to her skull.
Translation... this, uh... real-estate agent tried to stab his wife in the brain.

My favourite part in this rainbows and unicorn farts narrative is when the our intrepid reporter attempts to portray Samaurai Dad as the victim.
The father, who cries himself to sleep most nights at the Innes Road jail, pleaded guilty Monday to two counts of aggravated assault in a plea bargain with the Crown that spared him prosecution on the more severe charges of attempted murder.
If I had anything to say about this guy's current living arrangements, I'd see him betrothed to the rabid maddog biker enforcer with the most cigarettes.

Remember, this all started with this allegedly typical Ottawa Dad seeing an online photograph of his 20 year-old daughter (not, as you might have imagined from his response, cavorting with meth-crazed S&M enthusiasts) posing with the university Glee club.

murder, he wroteThat's right, the licentious, libertine Glee Club. So, apologies to the Crown prosecuter, but given the context, I'd hazard a guess that this guy's background and religious beliefs have more to do with his behaviour than, say... his chosen occupation.

As the war-weary cop used to say in the old Dragnet series... "Just the facts, ma'am."

RELATED: Not a Presbyterian... again
All three were found slain Saturday in their apartment on Thorncliffe Park Dr. by Toronto Police officers looking for next-of-kin of a man who fell to his death from the Millwood Bridge onto the DVP.

Traffic Services investigators confirmed that man is Yusuf Abdille, 50.

“Homicide investigators have identified him as the husband and father of the three people found murdered at 85 Thorncliffe Park Dr. that day,” Const. Clint Stibbe said Wednesday.

Altercation and Production

Followed by the cessation of life...
“There was an altercation with two or three suspects and two black males produced firearms,” said Det.-Sgt. Gary Giroux.

Tariq Mohammed, of Mississauga is Toronto's 50th homicide victim this year.
You'd almost forget someone was murdered.

Never seems that restrained when there's an officer-involved shooting. Funny how that works.

Toronto Police said the 33-year-old victim was shot in the head while walking along Eglinton Ave., near Keele St., around 7:15 p.m.

Lessons not learned

In a city of two and a half million people, the odds are pretty good you're not gonna get snuffed on any given day. So what are the chances one family hits the trifecta?

non kevlar kidsCall me provincial, but in my five plus decades on this planet, I don't even know one person who has been murdered.

As for the fatalistic takeaway about "invincibility"... that these murders were somehow inevitable, out of anyone's hands, that no-one could have done anything to prevent even one of them... that is, at minimum, willful ignorance.

You ever notice, if the shooter isn't a cop... it's a whole different narrative? No screaming accusations. No arson. No looting. Just business as usual.

Oh yeah, one small correction here. She didn't lose three kids to "GUNS"... she lost three kids to homicidal thugs who thrive in a subculture of predation, misogyny and arrogant lawlessness.

**********

UPDATE: Meanwhile, back in Ferguson, MO...

Looters are demanding a cop-free zone...
"After the verdict, no matter what it is, people are going to pour into the street - either in celebration or in rage," said Montague Simmons, chairman of the Organization for Black Struggle. "It's in the best interest of the public, the police and elected officials who control the actions of the police to work together to protect the rights of people to engage in civil disobedience and expression of their First Amendment rights of free speech and assembly."
What about controlling the actions of the rioters? Hey Montague, here's a thought... how about you and the other "strugglers" not "pour into the streets" at all. That might avoid a little fuss.

It's not like you're looking for a fight... right?

Homicide squad, yet again, rounding up local...

...farmers, hunters & skeet shooters... wait a minute...
Toronto police ... continue to search for at least three other suspects, a day after two male students died during a brazen daytime shooting in Etobicoke.

The double shooting happened outside of the Toronto District School Board's School of Experiential Education... at approximately 12:30 p.m. on Monday.
That's gotta be as experiential as it gets. What's so special about this particular school?

Okay, I get it now.

**********

UPDATE: Two dead students identified
One of the victims, 17-year-old Zaid Yousif, was a student at Don Bosco Catholic Secondary near Islington Ave. and Dixon Rd., not far from where the shooting occurred.

The second victim was identified by friends as 15-year-old Michael Menjivar. He was a student at James Cardinal McGuigan Catholic high school, located near Keele St. and Finch Ave.
Remember back in high school, somebody made you angry... you pulled out a gun and shot them?

Yeah... me neither.

UPDATE2: “Negatives of the community.”
Friends in Regent Park are reeling over the loss of 18-year-old Yusuf Ali, one of three teens shot dead in Toronto in a single afternoon this week.

Ali was shot to death on Sydenham Rd. near Shuter St. and Trefann St. on Monday afternoon. That same day, two teens — 15-year-old Michael Menjivar and 17-year-old Zaid Youssef — were fatally shot near a high school in Etobicoke.

LAST WORD:
The double murder comes two weeks after Hamid Aminzada, 19, was stabbed to death in a hallway at North Albion C.I. -- a school located only a few hundred metres from where Yousif's family lives.
