People like Adam Vaughan are the main reason why we have so much lack of common sense in today's society in so many areas.
Banning bullets will of course fix all these shooting problems Adam since we know that gangstas and in the past certain biker gangs and our own Indians in places like Caledonia who are ready with their full arsenals of weapons will of course abide by that bullet ban.
But hey let's not talk about those REAL ISSUES Adam and the PC gang...let's go after those target shooter types.
That low hanging fruit so idiots like you Adam can look like you are actually pretending to do something for your far too big pay check.
Piss off Adam and your ilk!

The danger in this discussion is the total failure to realize why we have crime in our youths for we the Ontarians create the crime in the youths, and I am going to be long on my posting for this is important to me. Crime is mainly planted in our children by the system its self, and you only need to understand why it is created to understand how you can stop it. There is so much money in the crime and the system its self cannot stop it when the money is still there. You have Police Officers, you have judges, you have social workers, you have lawyers, you have jail guards, and all these people have one common thing, they are all paid by the government. The only person that is a victim in this entire money making machine is the youth kid. And let me be very quick here to state that when the summer of guns started, every one jumped up on Jamaicans and Jamaican gangs and youths are shooting people. Chifu Fantino himself flew to Jamaica to find out how he can work with the Jamaican government to fight crime in Toronto. But these were not Jamaicans they were African kids from Somalia from Kenya from Uganda from Tanzania. These are kids we brought here in early 1980’s. Are you telling me honestly that when a kid dies in this city a Police Chief does not know where he came from? How did Fantino end up in Jamaica? Because addressing the real issues in crime and prevention involves involving parents and that kills a whole lot of jobs in the city. What have we done as parents as we are called failures? We are fighting with the system to see that our African kids are saved from this mafia system that breeds crime. And I will explain in a moment.

All kids that get shot in this city have a file with a social worker, and what we need to do is to get the name of a social worker responsible for that kid and put it on a tomb stone of every dead kid, for it is them that drive them against the parents and very easily. They get their hands on your kids at school and pump into them all nonsense that they come at home and you have no idea what garbage the kid has come back with. A teacher talking to her kids in class discussed a series on television that was running, and kids of a Sudanese family were not following, so she asked why they were not participating, the kids responded we do not have a television at home. A social worker was called in class and at the end of the day the kids went home with a social worker and a television in tow without a social worker talking to the parents. These are new people that had just came into the country I think they were only a month, and a television was a scarily thing to them, it is a 24 hours job and it is not clean and that is very hard to understand when you grow up here. So the parents decided not to buy one at that time, till when their kids and them get used to the country. All that information was never important to the social worker, she just undermined the authority of the parents. The kid that showed a plastic gun to the Doctor in St Michael hospital, and was shot by Police, he was told by a social worker that he had a right to get welfare. Although the mother rejected it the social worker by passed her decision and handed the kid the check, which gave him more money than the mother, and he became totally uncontrollable at home and in our community for all his instructions were coming from the social worker that was not talking to the parents. The kid that stabbed the TTC collector, I think in Warden or Kennedy station, was supposed to be sent home, you see that is the only option we have in this society that targets the children, to tune them against their parents. You buy a ticket and send him home then bring him back when he is grown up and developed. This poor mother and the community bought him a ticket to go, and as they were arriving at the airport, the social worker shows up and threatened the mother with suing her with kidnap and the mother gave up. Just a week after he stabbed the TTC worker. Social workers are not promoted due to production they are not accountable to any one and you cannot ask their success. Did you know that when you show up in this country and visit your federal immigration officer the first time, he is supposed to give you a list of divorce lawyers before he gives you a map of the TTC? Many immigrants leave the office of that counselor thinking that these are job offers not knowing the system is built to destroy the family structure to feed on the kids. Now I will not go into children AID that some areas like Brampton, out sources its service to private people who are paid depending on how many children they save from families. They go to schools and take children from simple questions like how many blankets do you have at home? You know I can take you in a better family of a white rich people they have cars too, And to a child from Sudan that is a good idea. So he gets trained by Children Aid Society to disobey at home literary.

Which brings me to the Okwongo’’s story which is very sad.

This family came to Canada with three children, they lived in Scarborough on Markham Road and Eglington about. The kid started to misbehave and the parents got their hands on it. They cut off his friends and instructed him to go to school. But he had two social workers that told him that he had no reason to listen to his parents. He came home late and he was told that it was his right. So it became a war between an immigrant parent and the social workers. The parents decided to cut off the boy from the area, so they moved all way from Scarborough to Mississauga. They went deep in Mississauga to South Down Rd. Now when you do that you have cut him off the school, you have cut him off the friends, you have cut him off the transportation, in fact we thought you had cut him off the welfare system for you are going into a different jurisdiction. A week after, the social workers from Scarborough drove a car to South Down Rd, got a Mississauga Police Officer and came to a parent’s house with the kid to pick up his staff for they are taking him back to Scarborough where his parents ran from. They took him back to Scarborough and put him into a hostel with the very gangs that we knew were bad. Mid-Summer the social workers rented a bus, and took all of them to North East of Ottawa on a lake. This kid was afraid of water but for he wanted to impress the white people, he told them that he knew how to swim. They all dove into the waters and he never came back up. He died and he was killed by the social workers. They reported the issue to the local Police and drove the body back to the funeral home at the hostel and prepared to burry. They got a grave and asked a pastor to pray for him before they burry. We were never told about his death, it is the pastor that wondered who gave them the powers of not telling us, that called so that we go and attend the prayers. We got a lawyer and issued them with a letter of stop and resist, we ended up with a letter battles about a week to getting his body, for to them he is an adult and a parent is not important.

We got so upset and decided to take the issue to the press, and we thought at Christie Blatchford as a good reporter in the city to handle this very tough situation, for we wanted a reporter that would sit with these parents to see everything they had gone through their war with a system that wanted to their son to become gang star. They had documentation letters of communications and all were ignored by the social workers. I talked to Christie Blachford on a Sunday she was out of town and she promised us to show up as soon as she comes back in town on Monday for this was important. We called her almost 30 times and in all times she gave us bogus appointments and we drove from Toronto on a daily basis and Christie never showed up and she never called the parents. In the fourth week we decided to forget the press and take the issue to the politicians, and who was better to go to than John Torry that was a leader of opposition. We called John Tory’s secretary and gave her all details as much as we could and she felt sorry for us and told us that we yes were going to get an appointment to see John Torry. After two weeks of agonizing phone calls, we got a word from John Torry that he was sorry he does not have the time to see us. Why do you think we go against him whenever he stands for a political position? For he has a class that matters the most to him and we are not that class. We buried our kid and closed the door. Because we raised so much commotion in the Liberal government, a commission of inquiry was set up at a frantic speed and it was rejected to be set up in Toronto but in North East of Ottawa and it was all drama of the government. Today as you read this writing, the social workers took his brother as well. Children Aid Society takes millions of dollars from tax payers, do you know any successful child, a human being you can show me that he or she was saved by them? And I need only one. The only time you hear about CAS is when they need more money to target our children in schools.

Did the courts and Police end the summer gun? No it was stopped by us the parents we stood up and chased them out of the town, they decided to go to Alberta where the parents in Alberta are now chasing them out and they are trying now to come back when we do not want them here, for the government the Police the judges will never work with parents but think in building larger jails and long sentences. Good luck, for now you have a problem with 23 year olds, but I wish you know the 9 year old coming up, God they are many and you need to turn the entire half of Toronto real estate into a massive jail to manage them for you have refused to work with the parents to bring them up as good citizens. There is a claim that there is a problem with babies becoming mothers. That is not true, look into a black community, girls are no longer getting pregnant, and I think we have done very well in that department. Walk the streets how many do you see with babies? The numbers are actually dwindling. But look at Husband, how old is his parents? 60 or so? Look at the one that died in the Eaton center how old is his parents? 60 may be? So where is the argument of single parents and babies having babies come in here? The parent an old man that lost a son on River street the other day said and I quote “It is good he has been shot I told him he will die” End quote. The other kid that died in Eaton center same thing, the parent said we told him he will die. Let me say this there are kids I wonder why they have not died already. And we know them for the Police protects them social workers protect them. Tell me why in the shooting of Eaton center, Husband is the victim? He is a good kid that tried so hard to clean up he even got a job, it is the dead kids that were bad, we are actually today safer from them. Can anyone tell me why Police refused to say their names publicly? Why did they need that protection If they were good people? And since there is a case in court that is all I will say on that.

And there are statements that make me laugh. “I am leaving downtown and I am going in the suburb to run away from crime” “Crime is in the black community and it is blacks to fix it” Really, you are forgetting that this is a city problem we need the government and the parents to work together to sort it out for you will be driving on 401 when my kid is solving a problem with another kid and the bullet that will take you out will be called a stray bullet. So running away is not a solution but parenting. And we all must be parents. Instead of doing this, the government is out hunting down fathers and jailing them. Almost 80% of these crying fathers have criminal records for they were reported by these kids, we are all criminals for the system believes in the children than the parents. There is a mother that went to court and she got a restraining order signed in court when she never knew that she was getting one. You see as a new immigrant they believe that social workers are personal friends, and they work for the good of the family so they brought her papers and papers and she kept on signing what she never even wrote. She had a problem in the home she wanted a friend to talk to, and a teacher gave her a social worker. The rest she did not have control but a judge instructed a restraining order without the knowledge of the wife and the husband did not know either. Traffic officer stops him and find him driving his family, he got arrested for disobeying a restraining order. And both stood up and asked what is a restraining order sir? For they do not speak English but all these papers had a woman’s signature. In only that house we created a potential 7 gang bangers. And that is good for there is nothing with money in this city as crime.

I am not one of those parents that stand up and yell to the entire system without solutions, with time I am going to write what we need to do as a city to solve the crime problem, but for tonight two major things. Canada cannot be a smart country to even manufacture a Canada arm but fail to up bring children, this country must stop to invest into crime by sacrificing the children. As parents we are no longer scared to burry our kids for we know who will die, we know who is wasted, we know who we have saved for we ship them out, and leave those we cannot take, but I fear the future for I do not see how long term sentences become the antidote. Do you really think that Husband came to Eaton Center in day light for he was scared to be arrested? Then think again.

A parent in Toronto

Wouldn't it be easier to ban the gunpowder? The city should set up a committee of at least 10 lawyers and 15 polititians like John Sewell and give them a year to report on whether it should be bullets or gunpowder. What does Shelly Carrol think?

Kemfromcanada

You called it a diatribe and that is the real resistance we as parents find in this society. For you wonder, there is more drugs in this city than the sugar we drink, yet the sugar we drink come into this city by containers. So who really brings in that consignment? Is it the black kid of 23 years old that shoots in Eaton center? But no one asks these serious questions for they are all defined as a diatribe. Don’t worry about it this is a problem of black people with single parents, a society where babies makes babies. Build more jails and get long term sentences you will clean up the problem.

And getting a death sentence back to books can actually move us closer to a safer society.
