The goddamned AR-Hammers strike again. Anyone that owns an AR-Hammer needs to have it seized by the government immediately

Hope it was my ex

brown or black I'm guessing. didn't even read the article. anyway I guess we should ban hammers

Diversity is our strength

Wasn't there another case, not long ago, where the husband went stabbing his wife in the front yard of their house and contstruction workers intervened? What the hell is happening

I’m taking bets on how soon SaadAhktar and his lawyers claim mental illness and not the real reason. I have an over/under for days and weeks. Hit me up if you’re interested.

How does one confuse a gunshot wound with a hammer shot?

Saad Akhtar

See's attacker's name.... Yup just as i guessed. Lol

Im feeling Culturally Enriched again.

He needs to be encased in cement to his knees and tossed into Lake Ontario, ASAP...let’s see if this POS can swim to shore!!!

Police academy Toronto. In all honesty I’d hate to be a police officer in today’s Toronto. Sad what has happened to this city in the last 30 years.

How can you confuse a hit to the head with a gun shot

Metro's finest 😭
