The Edmonton Journal is reporting that there was a fatal shooting outside a Calgary nightclub 2:30 AM this morning. Tragically, the victim was Calgary Stampeders defensive back Mylan Hicks.
Update: The Canadian Press is reporting that Nelson Tony Lugela, who is 19, has been charged with second-degree murder. He is scheduled to appear in court Friday morning. Sounds like this senseless shooting was simply over a fight in a bar.
Wow, all these shootings....starting to sound like "down south" up there. Pro football players and stuff too.
ReplyDeleteGlad to see that gun control stuff is working....
Look for it to get worse before it gets better. All across the US, where ever there is stricter gun control, the violent crime rates are higher. Wherever there is concealed carry, they are lower. In places where laws were once restrictive but were changed to allow concealed carry, there have been demonstrable drops in violent crime rates. It's not even arguable, these are the FBI/DoJ Uniform Crime Statistics, complied annually and published every 2 years. Kind of funny that the same Government that wants your guns will give you proof of why you need them and shouldn't give them up, huh? ;-)
My dad, an American who immigrated to Canada to 1970 and never moved back (he planned to but never got around to it, the Reaper caught up with him first) always used to say that social trends in the US always migrated north eventually. So, now it has worked out that all those gun laws you let them pass in the 70's/80's/90's when you didn't have a violent crime rate worth mentioning in context with the US (in other words, when you didn't really have the problem they told you they were going to prevent by taking your stuff) now you have the problem. Doesn't take much of a rocket surgeon to see that their solution doesn't work...
I do agree with all the Canadians who favor gun control though, about one thing. I really don't think the average Canadian should be allowed to carry a gun. After 50 years of social re-engineering* have done their insidious work, Canadian Gun Culture has been almost wiped out, certainly it is not what it was 30 years ago. And that was by deliberate design. Your government doesn't want you strong and free. It wants you weak and dependent. See quote below.
* Liberal Senator Sharon Carstairs, January 26, 1996, " "C-68 has little to do with gun control or crime control, but it is the first step necessary to begin the social re-engineering of Canada."
But all this is very depressing. We should end this on a lighter note. Therefore I offer a video clip taken from the camera system of a couple in Georgia who were home invaded by 3 goblins, all equipped with (illegal) handguns. Watch the lady of the house go to town on these oxygen thieves. One of them died in the driveway outside, "Po-Po still be looking" for the other two. It will take a bit to load but it's worth the wait. Enjoy!

I think the most significant trend for the US that has migrated north is the crack epidemic of the 1980's. Almost all of these shootings are drug related.
DeleteCannot disagree with that.
ReplyDeleteWe need minority control, not gun control
ReplyDeleteYes we have to control all those white people who profit from the sale of crack like the Hells Angels who are fueling the Gang war in Calgary. After all, in the real world, white people are the minority.
