".........we need jesus @Shenel_M15

You are probably right 'Net Citizen'. I guess I should have mentioned but I say now that I wasn't blaming entire Hip Hop culture since whenever it started. Of course before it was very nice and since late 90s like you mentioned this whole gangsta thing came out. I am against this gangsta attitude these rappers display in their videos.
Thanks for the other info also.  |

I'm very worried there will soon be a Western style gunfight in the streets of Toronto, with the expected consequences. And the police will be powerless to stop it as they're already perceived by the community as the enemy and will become one of the targets.

said by Net Citizen:When hard drugs such as Hash and Cocaine entered the scene, the slack was picked up by Columbian cartels and distributed through smaller urban gangs - which is what we have now.
At the same time if it wasn't illegal, we wouldn't have this big a problem. It's the US failed War on Drugs that continues to lead to this violence.

No, I didn't. Honest... I ran out of gas. I... I had a flat tire. I didn't have enough money for cab fare. My tux didn't come back from the cleaners. An old friend came in from out of town. Someone stole my car. There was an earthquake....... |

Actually, no. Italian/Irish immigrants to North America are widely credited with forming the first organized crime ring in the 1800s which escalated in the prohibition era. Citizens were often caught in the crossfire. You forget the anti-Roman Catholic sentiment endemic to English and Irish immigrants to Canada in the 18th century. Related to the Orange Lodge, many, like the Cavan Blazers used violence and terror to keep their communities "pure". Such sentiments are still around today.

Re: [Serious] Scarborough block party turns violent The real question is how are the police going to respond to this? I can see a gang war breaking out and getting out of control if the gangs and guns task force doesn't slap ALL of the parties down real quick.
edit: By parties I mean people, not block parties. lol |

They will do the usual, but if no one tells them anything what can they do?
