Annex shootings, are you stunned or what?

No need to panic, Random is the new Gangland.

From The Star:

Shootings stun Annex residents

..."You don't put gunshots and this neighbourhood in the same context,"


Normal human reaction you would think? Well not to the Toronto National Post:

In the Annex, residents shrug off gunplay

Less than 12 hours after the latest spurt of random gun violence in Toronto, life had returned to normal this morning along a trendy strip of the Annex and residents expressed resignation that this seems to be the new normal in the city.


Normal to any average psychopath I guess, not to me.

There was quite a bit of blood everywhere,” said Ms. Mitchell, who lives and works in the Annex. “I know it sounds strange, but I’m not worried at all about it. We’re really not that kind of neighbourhood. It was just a random incident. It can happen anywhere.”

Her colleague Lauren Ellis was equally circumspect. “It’s just Toronto,” she said.


I guess if this is the type of airheads you interview, then yes shootings are not really an issue...are they? No need to do much about it, is there..I mean it's just random...
