Originally posted by rabbitjoker Glad the women are ok. I'm just glad the guy got taken down. Perhaps this will provide an example for others who want to cause problems. Getting to work this morning was a nightmare - they had the off-ramps on the Gardnier closed as a result and I had to find alternate parking (as the area where my parking is) was closed off.

I'm also glad the women are okay, but you're glad the man is dead?

He did a horrible thing, but it's still shitty that he had to be killed to end the whole thing.

anybody sick enough in the head to pull a stunt like that doesn't deserve to live...

Hearing things like this completely disgust me...

Just for Jayx1...

"Canadian Press reported that the victim was the suspect's wife, and that the suspect was a 45-year-old from Ajax."

put THAT in your pipe and smoke it.

It seems to me that the police handled the situation perfectly by the book, this gives them a positive image to all the problems they have been having earlier

some of the things that will probably be going through jayx1's mind as he stews over the latest developments...

1) I don't believe it, black people don't live in Ajax. He had to be from Regent park.

2) So what if he was from Ajax, he true place is in Regent park, along with all the caribana folk -- those damn gangbangers, keep em the hell away from me and my sandwich shop.

3) The newspaper isn't telling us the whole truth. It's along with everything else in this country is under the dictatorial control of the government.

4) He probably didn't vote...therefore he deserved to die.

Unfortunately, it's the impression i get of the man after reading his posts for the past 6 months. Maybe i've exaggerated a little bit...but i'll stand by my assesment.

On a side note. While i'm not happy that the man is dead, it was probably a tactical decsion taken because of the threat he posed to a citizens. During the stand off, i'm sure negotiating with the man was considered, but sometimes the situation on the ground can quickly become unstable in which case the use of deadly force has to be considered as the final solution in ending a potentially tragic scenario.

although i do agree that the police handled it pretty well, i think there was room for improvement. because i was at the intersection and there were loads of people walkinga round. it was weird because on the south side of wellington on bay, they were diverting traffic/comuters, but on the northside people were walking around freely. i just went around the cops and i was 'right in the action'.
i didnt understand the inconsitancy in the routing of people.

but they did diffuse the situation very quickly.

Thanks, it always amuses me to watch the twinkle in the eyes of the slow ones when they are exposed to some common sense. I'm glad to skool you in particular with my professional inisight, starsearcher...not every day that i get platitudes from a tiesto worshiper -- and those i value very highly indeed.

Now run along and post something about your favorite human being -- sardonic comments really aren't your style...and we're all just dying to hear how much you *heart* Tiesto...Ad nauseam.
