I’m guessing THIS is why he flipped out!!

The age of the perpetrator of the violence in this story is of NO relevance. Imagine your children in the streets with this going on and reread the story.

Murder

Seriously- this is totally insane

Pulling out a rifle and aiming at a policeman gets your ticket cancelled. Why the fuss? Just another tragic burnout. Move on. Nothing to do with COVID. Any other little thing would have triggered this ticking time bomb. Maybe a social worker would have helped (snark snark)?

He was not shot because he failed to wear a mask. That should be abundantly clear. Where is the fair and even reporting supported by facts?

Do you mean the senior who beat up a store employee, tried to run someone over in the parking lot, rammed his car into the store, hit a parked vehicle and then proceeded to get his rifle & gun at home? If you mean that senior then I'd say he was a serious risk to public safety.

Brilliant headline National Post. Perhaps NP coverage of the end of WW2 could have read, “Vegetarian artist commits suicide over disagreement with neighbours “. P.S. perhaps a less “click bait” approach to news would improve your credibility.

To use “man refusing to wear mask” in the headline is completely misleading. The man sounds deranged - going on a road-rage rampage. The mask element was only a small part of the altercation, so why make it sound like all people who are refusing to wear masks are lunatics?

will this be counted as a Covid Death? Asking for a friend

...pardon?

Former cop charged in Mother's Day shooting of Black woman outside Mississauga, Ont. homeOntario's police watchdog has charged a former officer in connection with a shooting that took place outside of a Black woman's Mississauga home on Mother’s Day. This is setting a dangerous precedent - before you know it, people are going to start holding cops accountable when they attack people. The police may even start facing consequences for their actions! The horror. So they tased her and then shot her in the stomach as she was crawling away from them?The Police Services Act clearly states an officer can only discharge their firearm defensively NOT offensively, meaning there has to be an obvious threat not an electrocuted person crawling away PeelPolice release the picture of the disgusting cop that got charged; want to see her smug face and blast it all over social media😤
