So, the citizens of Toronto want police to do something about the brazen shooting sprees that have been terrorizing the city for years. You know, like the ones that claim the lives of young children in their beds, or a mother of two children outside a Leslieville “safe” injection site. Well, there are solutions that will work much better than the status quo, but progressive politicians and their downtown Toronto supporters don’t want to hear any of it. Thoughts and prayers, empty platitudes and righteous indignation are all we get, and that doesn’t cut it!
If we put these gangbangers in prison, for very, very long sentences, they won’t be shooting anyone, or committing any other crimes for that matter, like illegally carrying handguns that they illegally purchased on the black market. Then we can leave alone the thousands of legally-owned hunting rifles that the Liberal government wants Canadians to believe are the problem. I know, it may come as a shock to those who’ve never been north of Bloor Street, but gangbangers aren’t carrying Grandpa’s double-barrel 12 gauge shotgun, nor a “scary looking” AR-15.
Sure, there will always be violent crimes, and crimes in general, but eventually some of the thugs shooting up and terrorizing our streets will get the message that they will spend the rest of their lives in prison if they keep up their nonsense. It’s not a perfect solution, but it’s better than our current revolving door legal system (I refuse to call it a justice system).
It may also surprise the downtown champagne Socialists, but there are some people in this world who will never, ever, follow the rules of society. They will never become productive and contributing members of society, but will always be criminals and the occasional guests of His Majesty. When I worked for Corrections Canada, we called them inmates who were doing life on the installment plan. Well, why not institute a three strikes and you’re out policy, at least for crimes involving violence and/or weapons?
We just need the will to make that happen. I nominate former three-time Golden Gloves Champion and broadcaster Spider Jones to head up a task force to deal with the violence on Toronto’s streets. Oh yeah, and let’s give Spider Jones the Order of Canada to go along with his Order of Ontario.
