I know this is an old topic but i have some things to add.
First off, Gang bangers aren't neccisarily bad people, i'd say most aren't. They are more often than not given no other way but to join a gang to be able to live. And this guy talking about banning all this stuff, your idea is ridiculous, especially for the fact of how many people would lose jobs if there were no criminals. Society NEEDS crime, face it.
And The guy saying his freind was a security gaurd and got shot outside his house, i hate to be rude, but i bet it was some guy you knew like 4 years prior to the event.
You the named Texas, i hope to god you aren't from Texas, because there is no reason for your input on the conversation.
Now if you look at the population in toronto, and you look at how many murders happen a year, it is a minmal ammount, a vast few die per year. And as for the police putting everything towards finding the murderers, they are, and they can't just put bountys on every single toronto criminal who murdered some one. The reason the police haven't found the killers is because obviously there trail has ran a little cold, they rely on a lot of information the public gives, because police officers aren't even at the scene of the crime, neither are forensics. They just peice together a story, that is not that far from the truth, to catch some one without reasonable doubt. They never, in my opinion at least, get the full truth.
Last but not least, now that i have realisd halfway through my post you have lived in toronto texas boy, those areas are hard yes. especially if you're white. but some ones not gonna shoot you in the face if you didn't do anything to them. The stray bullet factor is just a technicallity of current crime happening at the time, it's not meant for them, its sad, get the hell over it. You can't stop human nature, people will die, we are lucky we live in a safe country where there is a minor amount of murders. Try living in Kingston, Jamiaca.
