Bloody Day for Toronto


Yesterday, September 16th was a tragic day for Toronto. Three people were killed in an 8 hour span in four separate areas. The first attack happened in Toronto's east end outside of Bendale Business Institute, when a 16 year old boy Taimone Moore, however Taimone had surgery later in the day and did not die. The second attack happened in Mississauga when Paramprit Dhinsa a 23 year old man was shot outside of an apartment waiting in his car for his girlfriend. Later in that day another boy was shot at the Jane and Finch area as well as a man was stabbed near Kennedy and Sheaperd, both attacks resulting in the death of the victim. These three attacks brought a dark day to Toronto.


It is quite obvious that this was a very tragic day for Toronto. But the better assumption is that what are we really doing to fight these crimes. How is it possible that four attacks can happen in one day. I think there should be more of an effort to stop the current crimes that are happening in Toronto. Although it is easier said then done I think there should be more of an effort to stop guns entering the GTA and to stop teen crime rates. I think there should also be more programs set up to keep kids off of the street.
