Yup this happened in Toronto, and as the article says, the guy was 59 years old. If I make it to 59 (I'm 46 y/o now), and given the state my folks are in today, they'll likely be gone by that time I'll can't say where I'll be at that time/age (ie my dad would be 90 & my mother 96 if they live that long (miracles can happen?), and all things being equal with the world not falling apart in the interim ....already my folks are sadly drastically different then how they were in the 90s or 00s, or even most of the 10s, and this decade (ie 20s) has me worried about them, especially my mother).

Anyhow, there is a documentary where they talked about aged people ending up homeless:

If you look at that documentary, unlike myself, even guys who were successful, and strong employment stability and all that, did not picture that they would end up being homeless at that age, ended up homeless anyway. So, something like that is disturbing as it hits close to home, and how young these girls were and how the girls themselves were strangers who met online through facebook. They are facing charges but are protected under the youth system. They have not shown if this was premediated, the nature of their facebook meetup or chat or what they were thinking, and that is wierd because had it been a group of males who did that to a woman, who met up from an online incel site, then the news would have been all over that like crazy. Now the script is flipped, the media is very silent on what the nature of how these women met.

That being said, Toronto, in general is a very dangerous city. People get stabbed in the subway, and it seems there are allot of people on the edge, who have nothing to live for, have seen out of control inflation and interest rate hikes, plus the feminist culture here, you don't know what might push someone over the edge.

Here's another video of a random woman who was killed in the TTC and another put on fire:

It is a disturbing trend, but what was on these young tween girl's minds is something the media has not looked into when they should.

Bruh, what happened to Toronto? I swear when I was growing up, we in the US associated Toronto with being a beautiful and classy city. We used to look at Canada as a place where you can leave your doors open and no one will do anything. Now the whole thing has gone haywire bro. This must be a recent phenomenon because I do not recall Toronto being like this in the early 2000s unless I am missing something @corrector.

Now, it is like Toronto is an incel hotbed (incel forums are flooded with Toronto residents) full of awful and entitled women. Come to find, I have yet to meet a decent woman from Toronto that comes here to the US and a lot of them come to the US. Almost every guy from there is a try hard trying to pick a fight because they have a chip on their shoulder.

It was called Toronto the good.

We used to look at Canada as a place where you can leave your doors open and no one will do anything.

But we do keep our doors open and no one does anything. The lock on my front door has been broken since 5-6 years ago and we cant afford to fix it (ie the house is a mess anyway and would be thieves would find nothing of value here. All the good stuff is hidden away and difficult to access). So, perhaps in that regard, we are treating it like it's safe.

Now the whole thing has gone haywire bro. This must be a recent phenomenon because I do not recall Toronto being like this in the early 2000s unless I am missing something @corrector.

The van incident happened in 2018. Prior to 2018, Chad was not on my vocabulary. I first heard of the term from that killer's mouth. I was loath to use it. Fast forward to 2019 - now, it's a very common term.

In Toronto, escort / prostitutes are de-facto allowed (ie it's not enforced unless it's minor's or trafficking, but not on morality grounds). For people to say that a place having easy access to prostitutes will solve this problem, it hasn't really done much here. That would be an interesting topic.

But, I digress, the whole world was different before the smartphones and social media, and the early 00s, in general, are fondly remembered as better times compared to today. Toronto would likely be party of that rosey picture. What Western places hasn't gone down since the 00s?

Now, it is like Toronto is an incel hotbed (incel forums are flooded with Toronto residents) full of awful and entitled women.

To be fair, each person's experience in Toronto is different. @European-DJ was able to get laid on his first visit here with an Asian woman who gave him an all expense paid tour of the place. However, for the average guys, such as myself, the experience is different. My mother always thinks that if I was in the USA I'd been married like yesterday rather than just rotting away here. I won't be surprized of here having this type of reputation.

Is it difficult to legally own a gun?

Is it difficult to legally own a gun?

Yes it is difficult but there are less suicides using a gun. Suicide risk goes up exponentially if you own a gun as it offers a quick and.convenient way to end it. Therefore it is dangerous to own a gun.

Statistically, yes, the person a gun owner is most likely to shoot is themselves. Suicidal people have no business being near a gun.

Statistics are difficult to compile about things that don't happen, in regard to crimes that guns might prevent. My state recently passed concealed carry, and it seems like every little old lady is packing heat. Practically everyone has a gun. But people know that, so they are afraid to start sh1t with anybody.

Exactly. Given my own situation here at home and how close I am with my folks and where I find myself, I don't think its a good idea for me to own a gun. Not saying that I would do something like that, or am thinking about it, but lets just say that I'm more comfortable without one until I have more stability within my life. I do suffer from occasional fleeting throughts of passive suicidal ideation and wouldn't want to be near any gun for my own safety from myself. (ie if something happens to my folks I don't want to be a potential victim myself. I realize there may come a time I have to face life without them (ie esp carrying a mortgage when I'm not sure about my income month to month, etc... and "gun" sounds like a hazard in such a situation). That being said, I'd assess my risk of eventual suicide at 10-25% if I owned a gun, and 0% without one, therefore it's safer for me not to own one. The risk of suicide outweights any other benefit there may be from having one.

You see, most people are not really honest like I am about these things, and people who should not own guns, end up taking their own lives. If there is any fleeting bad thought, then that disqualifies it with me.

If the local available poontang were this, you'd always be pizzed off too.

Beautiful and classy? I don't know what you were smoking when you were growing up (or perhaps your frame of reference was some awful sh!thole like Detroit or Baltimore) but Toronto was never considered beautiful or classy by anyone I know. It was always known as safe but boring and generic.

As far as violent crime, things haven't changed much in decades. The homicide rate in 2021 (1.81 per 100,000) was actually slightly lower than in the 80's and early 90's. That's pretty low for a large North American city. For comparison, NYC is at 5.7, LA is 6.4 and Chicago is 29.5 (!)
