One day I found a cell phone- It contained a slew of pictures ......Hand guns have become a problem Toronto....contained in the phone were images of punks holding a gun in each hand pointing into the lens. The other pics were various shots of a long table displaying a couple of dozen high end semi auto weapons - The images of the people in the phone were very clear and it was clear these guys were gun runners. The battery in the phone went dead.

I was a concerned older man and I took the phone to the local cop station..I explained to the guy at the desk that they should have a look at what I had...The cop said - they "did not have the equipment to recharge the phone" Some big smiling blonde cop - gave the phone to me and also stated there might be some "privacy issues"...then he smirked and laughed in my face.

I got the impression there was no will in law enforcement to bring about some peace and security in Toronto- They could have taken dozens of illegal guns off the street - arrested the gun runners and stopped another hundred weapons from entering Canada...but they were not interested...Thinking back I am still astounded that this took place _ I thought cops really wanted to serve and protect.

Not gonna be easy to make a federal charge stick.
Please....

What is it about detonating a bomb are you missing?

People who donated blood probally never expected that it would go to him.

Amazing that some just refuse to "see"............

Of course this is going to be a federal case, even if some refuse to believe that.

Think "reactive", not "proactive" for many of them.

Much easier and safer to go after us, like traffic stops, shoplifting, burglary, petty theft.
Drug running, gun running, etc. is a whole different ballgame and usually the local LE don't tackle things like that on their own.

Yes. Even the Puritans were extremists, or they became so at one point, executing people as witches. That's not quite normal, it's religion taken to the extreme.

At that point, I would have contact the media and made a bunch of noise.

No, I daresay not. Still, we're the civilized ones, remember. Have to do the decent thing, patch him up for his trial.
