Rob Ford's Toronto

[tiffer24]

What does this lawsuit say about the mayor of this great city when many of us would rather believe a guy who shot a woman in the face rather than Rob Ford?

why is it a lawsuit and not charges?

What's worse is that they were all part of the same family (sort of)... that's not a gene pool over there - its' a bird bath.

Budget tip for Toronto council: deport the entire Ford family and save the TPS $2 million next year.

More like a septic tank.

Greater likelihood of conviction?

Well, Ford did want all the thugs to be forced out of the city, after the Scarborough shooting a couple of years ago. Maybe he should heed his own words?

Here's a human being who has learned to rise above hate; Potshots from each and every Doug, Dick, and Harry armchair critic on UT be damned. Fortunately he doesn't answer to UT. He understands his duties and responsibilities and that's answering to the taxpayers. To that end he accomplishes more for the taxpayers with one bottle than all of the UT hipsters could ever dream of in a lifetime of living in subsidized housing.

Reminds me of wise words spoken by Diane Ford. "To err is human. To forgive is divine." Scott McIntyre just needs to forgive. Rob's only human. All humans order prison beatings on their enemies at some point in their life.

Actually he just wanted to send the immigrants home - and last time I checked there wasn't a fence enclosing Rexdale...

On payman Rex Facebook there is a picture of the football team aka the dirty birds

Don Bosco Eagles are also known as "dirty birds"? If so, that's pretty significant considering Ford says "birds" in the murder rant video. Can you provide us with a link to this?

Well there should be.

Wow! That clears up that piece of the puzzle. Thx.

The murder rant video was indeed filmed at the house where Payman lives with his mom. I confirmed date and timing a few months ago. But didn't know who Ford was targeting and why until today. It all makes sense now!

Maybe in bringing this situation to light a larger investigation will be spawned by the Attorney General's Office? Maybe there is more to come once certain facts are proven in court or admitted to in public? Maybe this is all a strategy?

Macintyre wants money. He doesn't get money from charges. Also appears police investigated and decided not to pursue charges. Standard of proof is lower in a civil suit -- balance of probabilities vs. no reasonable doubt. Obvious example: O.J. getting acquitted but also losing civil suit.
