Amidst the Victoria Day weekend mayhem at Woodbine Beach, two people were shot. There was also a home invasion in the north end of the city where one occupant was shot and another struck by a stray bullet.
As long weekends in Toronto go, setting aside the stupid wilding on the beach, the city actually got off relatively lightly for gun violence.
Which also can be said, historically, for those charged with crimes involving a firearm, whether they actually used the weapon or “merely” were in possession of it, upon arrest, who cartwheel through the bail system and are back on the streets lickety-split to continue terrorizing particular neighbourhoods.
