Summer holidays.

[wilsonlam97]

Wtf another one? Is this going to be the case from now on?

[masterhapposai]

Tell me again that Jane n Finch is safe.

[LaserEnvy]

Tell me again that Jane n Finch is safe.

LOL who said/believes that?

[sandikosh]

Tell me again that Jane n Finch is safe.

Jane n Finch is/was/will be never safe.

[sandikosh]

I guess it's gang related?

If it is gang related everybody should just step back and let them knock each other out. Peace comes when one is left standing.

Gosh, I hope the gun registry database can handle all the police searches.

A man in his 30s was shot in the head Friday night near Driftwood Ave. and Finch Ave.

Gunfire erupted just before 10 p.m. He was rushed to a Toronto trauma centre, police said.

This is the fourth shooting in five days.

More to come.

[gizmo8]

I say "ban the bullet".....

[appleb]

I'm guessing there are so many shootings that the mods don't even know which threads to merge together.

[kingofwale]

Looks like north York is looking to reclaim the shooting capital of this city.

[Siskie]

its no secret that there is a large population of guns in the jane & finch area, let alone in the community housing. Every community house & apartment should be subject to regular searches for guns and drugs. If the residents dont like it, then they can leave and go live in another city.

It is time for the taxpayer to take back the city.

[dagambler]

I say "ban the bullet".....

Because most of these shooters are licensed and buy their bullets legally?

[Siskie]

why are there so many shootings in the jane & finch area?

[BluePhirePB]

Make it three shootings last night:

[DrXenon]

The media is clearly making it all up. We have a handgun registry in this country; simply can't happen.

[jacobe]

With all these gun stories reported in the media, people are getting ideas.

[Mr.Sea]

Poverty spawns lots of unwanted social circles.

[Abel4Life]

why are there so many shootings in the jane & finch area?

Waiting for people that grew up there to say 'its only once in awhile but its still pretty safe to walk around at night'.

Waiting for people that grew up there to say 'its only once in awhile but its still pretty safe to walk around at night'.

Which is true. You are no gangsta / pretend gangsta you no die. Normal people do normal things at normal times don't get shot. Serious. Know people who live at J&F.

[spike1128]

Year of the guns part 2. For Mr Mayor Ford.

[Jimboski]

why are there so many shootings in the jane & finch area?

Because It's close to J&F.

Seems to be a trend or a major gang war going on...

[kingofwale]

I don't care about gang war, as long as it doesn't involve innocent people, I'm fine with it.

Go kill each other for all I care, not that those people pay tax anyway. Free up more government housing for people who need it.

[boywonder416]

as long as it stays in the ghetto, no action is needed. single mothers+absent fathers=gangstas=shootings. nothing new, it happens in the u.s, it'll happen here.

the eaton centre shooting happened 5 years after the jane creba. if incidents like that happen more frequently, than something has to be done. if you want to avoid being an innocent victim, it's probably wise to stay clear of caribana and yonge-dundas square during the festival.

Which is true. You are no gangsta / pretend gangsta you no die. Normal people do normal things at normal times don't get shot. Serious. Know people who live at J&F.

It's true... I'm white and i used to live there. Hell i used to wander through connections, Driftwood ct, sentinel, romfield, the whole damn hood drunk as eff. No-one ever messed with me.

Everyone who has never lived there will tell you it's a scary place and you'll die because it's filled with urban market OG's.

it could bleed over into the "non-ghetto". I'd assume that the hunted will move around now and go to other parts of the city, and that's maybe how the Eaton Centre shooting likely occurred

I wouldn't see it as something that is ignored. They should at least do a gun sweep across Jane n Finch and the other areas

[ever1221]

thanks to all conis who voted rob.

[manmanny]

thanks to all conis who voted rob.
And thanks for all the lefties(including I) who voted for Comrade stinking up the city forever. For 8 years. He was successful (running the city in ground) he ran away early.

[whampoa]

This kind of rise in violent correlate with the rise of youth demographic of certain ages.

Every few years there are spike in crime and violence follow by a steady decline, and the cycle repeat again.

[wilsonlam97]

The gang war is getting even bigger now.... come on police! I don't expect too much but I just want these awful people to leave the face of the Earth.

[Abel4Life]

We really need a 'Project Marvel Part 2 etc. and have SWAT teams and police just bust a$$.
