Ya its true, suburbs have the majority of murders and BY FAR the most crime...rich white kids are much more dangerous than immigrants and racial minorities in the city, just ask the cops.

So, when there's a shooting in a Thornhill neighborhood, or lets take the Alesia Ross incident... does that mean 'there goes the neighborhood'??? No, it does not. Shit happens. Until u see a trend in the same area over & over (like in the Jane & Finch area, aka 'the suburbs'), then your neighborhood is just fine.

Seriously folks- I grew up in DC, which was 'murder capital' of the US for several years- we're talking 406 homocides in a year for a population of 500,000. Do the math- Toronto is still WAY SAFER than those stats, and never did we feel our lives was in danger down there, and we went to some pretty sketchy areas for some clubs. At worst, your car got broken into a lot.

but thats the effect the media has on people. Seriously, our murder rate has hardly budged yet youd think based on the media that we are suddenly in an epidemic.
