Wil's Rant

Everyone is expressing outrage over the shooting of an eleven year old girl on a Toronto bus yesterday. Apparently not everyone shares in the outrage. Very few people who had been on the bus ( estimated at over 40 ) have come forward to assist the police in the investigation. Without the help of witnesses it makes it very difficult to find the cruds responsible for this crime. Even if the police manage to find those responsible, there's still the matter of getting convictions. Without public support, the job of the police in cases such as these is damn near impossible. So we can complain all we want about the lack of justice, things will not change until the public recognizes its responsibilty to assist the police in any way possible. At least then we can confine our bitching to the subject of the laws and how they are applied by the courts.
