Mayor Olivia Chow's Toronto


Mass shooting in a Scarborough pub last night, though no one appears to have been killed, many are injured.
It's noted now this was the pub's opening night, which raises questions about why this seemingly random act by three shooters happened at that particular moment, and they also seemingly did not target any one person in particular, they simply walked in and started shooting in random directions.

Sounds like an organised crime incident to me.

Chow is speaking to the media soon.

Fixed that for you.

I don't want to be understood to be condoning any violent crime, at all............but I don't understand, what these idiots (the shooters) don't get........

If you target one intentional target, at a time, in a private spot, without endangering the broader public, you will attract police and may get caught...........

By doing this so publicly and almost certainly injuring some innocent people......who you might well have killed but for dumb luck.......in a year in which homicides in Toronto have ( knock wood) been at record lows........

They will now attract maximum police attention, with a high probability of being caught. (which I certainly hope they are)....

But what morons......as dangerous because they're stupid, as because their morally dubious, and armed.
 
Since it was the opening night of the pub, I imagine it is owned by someone aligned with one group in the mob wars, and another group was sending them a message. It's possible a lot of the patrons were also aligned with the owners. I heard the exact number on the radio this morning, which I've forgotten, but about half were injured by bullets, and half by things like breaking glass, falling, etc. Which suggests indiscriminate firing to trash the place and scare people rather than an attempted murder.

But as pointed out by NL, it's not a great way to send a message because now the police need a major response.

Edit to specify: Even if the perps did this without intending to kill anyone, which we do not know, it's still murder.

Just to note, firing guns at human beings should always be considered attempted murder. Let's not normalize gun violence.
