as i said the gangsta shit was usually in some dumpy strip mall "club" in rexdale or scarborough. Not in the club district. Furthermore other than spin cat and that space dive (the 2 lowliest places in TO at the time) i cant remember any other shooting at a EDM event back then/

tougher laws won't do shit. what they need to do is increase the speed that a person gets caught and punished following the crime, and the certainity that they will get caught IF they commit a crime

Its time they put up LOADS of surveillance cameras in club land. They have them up in Dundas Square, and the first time they were used, they apprehended a shooter as a result.

I agree. The music being played in clubs today is not gansta; it is just club hip-hop, party, stomping feet, getting drunk, sex music.

There is very little true gangsta rap these days, imo. The struggle is gone, and not as many are singing about their tough lives.

the alcohol laws i this country force
everybody out on the street drunk off
thier tits at the same time.

thats when the trouble starts.

Just don't walk around the club district on a friday or Saturday night and should be fine!

and just where exactly do the authorities stand on all this?

It seems that such incidents have become a commonality in the toronto club seen but why hasn't it been made mandatory to have metal detectors installed at every venue with the additional threat of 'failure to comply with the rule that resulted in someone getting seriously injured would result in closure'.

Its amazing how easy it is for people to get away with carrying illegal weapons despite the supposed pressing of gun control laws. I was the only person at this fast food joint over here day before yesterday and i was just about to pay for my order when this guy walked in wearing a scary movie mask jumped over the counter, pulled out a gun and robbed the store ... having never seen a gun used for such purposes before and now seeing it being wielded 3 feet in front of me , i have officially given up walking out at nights alone.

lol..sorry. didn't realize THATS what you meant by tougher laws. Just assumed you were referring to longer sentences and worse jail conditions, which ahs proven not to work.

my bad. i'm sure threat of castration would work in quite a few people

thats cause that shit rarely happens at edm clubs/events.

sorry but imo there is a difference between hiphop/top 40 clubs and edm clubs(nights).
