SO mich could be said about this, but it won't be

Obviously the police chief needs to read a newspaper, once in a while. I remember a worse one in Brampton, from when I was a kid. Teenager walked into his high school and blew away his best friend, then a teacher, and wounded a dozen others. Dozens of kids were injured as they jumped from second floor windows, to get away from him. Happened a couple of miles from my school, at the time. It's also what sparked our biggest changes in gun laws.

From what I understand, Chicago equals Toronto's annual murder rate, every two seeks or so.

For the sound of it, things got worse because they've taken down the leaders of the gangs. As a result the rank & file are leaderless, so taking pot shots at anything that moves and doesn't wear their colours.

I stay away from Caribana too. There are always several incidents.

On the original topic, more information is slowly coming out. For example:

- The woman whose townhouse the party occurred at claims that it was for children.

- The woman who hosted the party was 'known to police', as the saying goes.

- The party has apparently been an annual event, for at least the last several years.

- The party was being Twittered about as a 'Hennessy Party.' Yeah, the Hip-Hop poseur beverage of choice.

- Two cases of the stuff. That's two dozen bottles, at roughly $60.00 a bottle, and the drinks were free at the party.

All of this, in an assisted housing complex.

Goes along with the Navigators, Mercedes, and Jaguars that were ringing the block, I suppose. My taxes at work.
