The threat of retaliatory violence is high after a gunfight led to two people being killed and 21 others were injured when gunshot rang out at an east-end Toronto block party overnight, police Chief Bill Blair warned Tuesday.

Blair made the comments while updating the public on a horrific and brazen attack, which he described as “the most serious crime of its kind” to ever hit the city.

“The crime that occurred in Scarborough was unprecedented for the city of Toronto. It is a crime that is shocking to all of our citizens, and it is a crime that demands the relentless pursuit of the individuals responsible for this violence,” Blair told a news conference.

I am interested in some of the conclusions that this is gang warfare spilled over from immigrants holding a grudge. Not unlike the early 1900s when Irish Catholics and Protestants were at one another in New York. Even though New York had nothing to do with the British occupation of Ireland. How much violence is perpetuated by those who claim they left the violence in their country for the safety of Canada.

This sound like Mexico. There is one incident similar to this per week in MANY cities of our southern neighbor. It would be convenient to blame immigrants although those who ascribe to this idea might just have a point.
