Can't Cope With Orgy Of Crime

Regular readers of this column will know that Toronto has become a city plagued by gang warfare. In some ways it resembles Chicago of the 1920's. There is a shooting nearly every day; gang warfare is open and blatant; whereas in Chicago it was over alcohol, in Toronto it's narcotics. 

The major difference being that Toronto's police and politicians are not on any mobsters payroll, though since they cannot cope with the prevailing orgy of crime it doesn't mean much. If someone is the target of a killing, anyone in his immediate vicinity could be shot as his enemies spray bullets at random. 

Such was the case on June 16 when two girls ages 5 and 9 were shot and wounded in a playground in the Toronto suburb of Scarborough, leaving a whole city shocked and disgusted. 

When a society is in the process of breaking down it makes a lot of sense to replace it with one that won't.
