Canada is getting messed up. I used to walk around the streets in the middle of the night, without any fear. In the last month, people have been bringing guns to parties, and taking them out, threatening to use them. Stabbing people seems to be in now for some reason.. I recently went to this street festival where there were about 5 cops every 20 meters a way or so. You would think that's overkill, but there were scores of kids there just waiting for a fight to break out. It ended with a bunch of fights and a riot almost started. Kids these days...

Quick, rush to his house and check if he played any games. There, case solved!

I happened to catch this on TV as it unfolded live.
It looked severe: people spilling out of the school running for their lives, injured people lying on the streets.
Glad the death toll is only one (so far).

It wasn't really safe when I was there either.

See, they just want you to think they're all nice and reasonable.  Then they shoot you.

yeah, that way they have better targets.

seriously speaking, it's a sad dangerous world and I think situations like this will just continue escalating.  It's something that won't end.

Wait a second, hasn't Canada been messed up for years?  I thought it weird that a person can't even walk down the street with a bible or a rosary or some prayer book but it's normal to walk down the street blatantly smoking weed. 

But anyway, this guy.. I guess he was really starved for attention and thought to end it all the most sensational way.  I bet he's a ghost now.

I always had the impression that Canada was a fairly safe state. But I suppose, in the end, there are wackos all over the world. I fear people like this much more than I fear terrorists. At least with terrorists we know that they want to kill people. When ordinary (well, maybe not so ordinary...) people do something like this, there is an underlying realization that this could happen anywhere.
