‘Seriously?’

Dear Editor:

RE: ‘I’m glad you shot the guy’: Doug Ford, March 26 and Muddled thinking, April 2

The only “muddled thinking” going on here is by the letter writer. Of course it is sad that this had to happen and Doug Ford should have been a bit more diplomatic, but we are dealing with ruthless career criminals and organized crime, mostly due to the Trudeau era “Canada will take you” episode when all you needed was body heat to gain access to this country and no proper security checks were being made.

Organized crime syndicates could not miss a chance like that and now we are paying the price. At the time of the armed home invasion in Vaughan and the fact the home owner was armed it is likely that “all hell let loose” with bullets flying everywhere with little chance to really do a lot of thinking. It’s a situation that could have gone anywhere. 

So, here’s the letter writer saying if the home owner had shot the guy a few more times and become a murderer he would have had to live with it. Seriously?

Also the letter writer states  there’s no simple answer to crime. Well, yes, there is and it’s quite simple: stop letting professional criminals out on probation or bail and either keep them in custody or deport them if possible.

It’s time to get serious. 

Mac McCulloch,
