They just don’t have the same kind of pathological romance with them, and paranoid sense of false security that comes from romanticizing firearms, that’s a part of our culture down here.

Time to send him down to learn how to play along with Farrell to learn how to manage.

I always say Yonge and Bloor down to the Eatons Centre is sketchy, but not in a way that makes you afraid to walk down the street. Then stuff like this happens. Goddammit.

I feel so sorry for whoever got the worst of this. Whatever the motivation, that easily could’ve been any one of us Torontonians. My thoughts and condolences go out to his family.

Lots of idiots, too – at least in Toronto anyways….a girl was shot at Eaton Centre a few years ago, so this is nothing new….

Could’ve been a hero.

I’m not trolling, I honestly thought that.
