Amazing. Mother Corp at her best.

It's so nice of the CBC to reinforce the Liberal Canadian values of watching as your friends and neighbors are being attacked.

Be a good witness? How about being a good samaritan.

I am also a resident in the Pineridge neighborhood and heard all the sirens and watched for awhile as the Hawks helicopter tried to locate the suspects.

Disgusting. If the caught robber's name was Mike Smith, the CBC would have told us for sure.

I guess we should be grateful. At least in Canada, for now, the police still try to capture the crook, and sometimes their names and ethnicities are made clear - depending on what part of Canada you are in, and which new media you are getting your information from.

Here in Toronto it's routine to get a report of a violent crime committed by a man wearing a "6 foot tall heavy set man wearing brown T shirt and black shorts", yet no mention of any physical description.

Clearly, the man's race is a far less relevant identifying piece of information than whatever clothes he put on that morning.

This has long seemed to me to be the epitome of mindless political correctness.

So it goes.

"If the caught robber's name was Mike Smith, the CBC would have told us for sure."
That was my first thought, but I was going to say John Smith.

BTW, the name Abdul Majid Tony Fares sounds Lebanese to me, so I think it would be pretty safe to assume the "medium skin toned" missing partner is also of Middle Eastern descent and not a "medium skin toned" aboriginal or white guy with a good tan. ;)

Are these the values the Liberals keep talking about?

I have no doubt that these robbers represent a broad strata of Canadian society.

Nothing to see here folks. Ignore the man behind the curtain. Move along. Move along.

For the lefturds here,Ken's comment was rhetorical...heh.And to clarify....Yes they are...until one of them gets nailed.
What I want to know is, how do these retards keep knowing what honest people's house's to hit? Who's got the list of leftard voters???

Are you sure it wasn't Mao Stlong to blame?

I just checked my box of Crayolas and I couldn't find a medium skin tone, so I will have to assume that he is Brownish.

The real makeover needed at CBCpravda , hidden agenda . anyone else pick up CBCs poll story this morning, started off as Liberals narrow lead, became Tories still lead in polls, then it got shifted to the back pages ,

"Understandably, this is his castle, and he has a right to protect his property, but we would ask that you not get involved," said Cain. "Be a good witness, call the police. Certainly you are risking your own personal safety if you get involved."

This is sad. Under Canadian law, you can't protect your own property, but have to run away and "be a good witness",while the criminal's taxpayer funded lawyer plea bargains his client's time down to the minimum.

And if,say, the light isn't too good, and you can't make a positive ID, the guy gets off.

The other person was Abdul's brother Mohammed.

... or was it his other brother Mustafa?

Whoops. Looks like I got the 2's confused...

Close the CBC and turn all their studios into Mosques. I know they won't mind ... it's a Canadian value.

Medium skin tone? WTF

"This is Papa Bear. Put out an APB for a male suspect, driving a...car of some sort, heading in the direction of...you know,that place that sells chili. Suspect is hatless. Repeat,hatless."

It seems some people prefer Chief Wiggum's vagaries to an actual description which might lead to the arrest of the suspect.

Why I like living in Texas (and I don't even own a gun.):

The Texas Castle Law protects citizens when an intruder is:

1.) committing certain violent crimes 2.) unlawfully trying to enter a protected place or, 3.) unlawfully trying to remove a person from a protected place.

The law also provides civil immunity for a person who lawfully uses deadly force in the above circumstances.

Nice of them to slip the obligatory "don't defend yourself" blurb in there instead of some actual, useful information. Like, oh maybe a decent description of the second guy?

You know, somewhere out there is THE GUY who started this whole thing with the cops where they advise against defending yourself, your home, your belongings, and don't help anybody else do it either. Some person did that.

How's that working out for ya buddy?
