With the recent shooting of a a 12 year-old boy in the Jane-Finch area of Toronto, by two thugs Rashawn Chambers and Jahwayne Smart (allegedly), the silence from the usual voices like Black Lives Matter has been deafening.
Doesn’t his young boy’s life matter, or does it only matter if he’s shot and killed by a white police officer?
However, the usual crowd, including our prime minister, prefer to announce bans on hunting rifles, which are rarely used in these gang-related shootings, and handguns, which are already heavily restricted and rarely, if ever, legally owned by the thugs using them.
Seeing that Rashawn Chambers and Jahwayne Smart were already banned from possessing handguns related to previous charges, they obviously don’t care about the law; any law.
This is, of course, besides the point that someone who is prepared to kill someone, the most serious offence in the Canadian Criminal Code, how can we be so delusional to think that the prospect of being charged with having a prohibited firearm will have an effect on them either? The prohibited firearms charge would be the least of their worries. Don’t believe me?
Both Chambers and Smart were “packing” (allegedly) when they were arrested, which are among the 26 charges each of them are facing (yes, 26 each).
When are politicians, and judges, going to realize that lengthy prison sentences and tougher bail laws, along with RICO-style laws in Canada for extra teeth, are a much better way to deal with these gun-totting thugs than the status quo.
