Shithole city: A 65-year-old man, who was out walking his dog in Schomberg, Ont., is now fighting for his life after being shot at 13 times in a random attack after he gestured at a speeding vehicle to slow down, police said. (h/t Mike)
(Ok, so Schomberg is outside of Toronto, but Toronto is still a shithole city, and something tells me they weren’t shooting at their own neighbors.)

Ugh! I have kin in Schomberg.
Toronto does suck but Schomberg is 60km away from Toronto. Closer to Barrie than Toronto.
Best ban those tanning parlours in Toronto because that was clearly “the root cause”
I’m sure the OPP (Ontario Provincial Police) are hot on the case.
The un-Lucki RCMP is, umm, busy with other things today.
“After year of scandals, RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki announces retirement”
https://nationalpost.com/news/politics/rcmp-commissioner-brenda-lucki-retirement
YES getting RID OF HER was the best news I had all MONTH……….there is truly a GOD looking over us……..(:
Lucki is only a symbol of the politicized, broken, corrupt RCMP and the human garbage which staffs it.
Don’t thank God for that one, there could be someone much worse coming up.
I’m sure whoever Trudeau selects as the next commissioner would also be a corrupt poodle
Interesting timing with Trudeau having the secret version of the inquiry in hand and the public version to be released within days.
This is a horrible story that has not been played out fully. The police are still investigating and hopefully they will arrest & charge perpetrators and the judicial system will try, convict and properly punish the guilty. I know this is probably a long shot but will remain optimistic.
As a Canadian I want to hope this happens as the rule of law is essential to a civilized society. As a resident in Schomberg I want this to happen yesterday.
God speed to our fellow 65 year old citizen.
I suppose the shooters were using a legally registered handgun that was not on any list of banned weapons?
What? Unknown? Oh, well I’m sure that will come out as part of the investigation.
Just for giggles, go to Google Maps and take a look at the location — “Centre Street between Rebellion Way and Church Street”. Not a main street. And look at the satellite view — not a hood by any means. A far cry from, say, Jane and Finch, or 20th St in Saskatoon.
In light of Kate’s update — “Ok, so Schomberg is outside of Toronto” — I kinda want to update my comment above about the crime scene. My intent was not to mock the “Toronto is a shithole” take, but to point out that the shithole is exporting its crap further and further out, and to some pretty nice areas.
That said, I suspect that the thugs here may have come from Newmarket. Newmarket is an up-and-coming shithole in its own right.
Newmarket was a lovely town when I moved there in 2002. By the time I left in 2017, it was on the fast-track to shithole. I drive through Newmarket every couple of months to go to Holland Landing and each time I can’t believe how quickly it has changed since my last visit.
The rcmp is a machismo organization. The first all women troop graduated in 1974. Women have never been accepted as equals in the force.
Along comes the Bong and what does he do? The fool appoints a woman to lead. Lucki’s failure is on him. She never stood a chance. That said she wasn’t qualified.
an old retired Staff Sgt said in an interview that the BIGGEST mistake the RCMP did was hire women…….YES THAT IS WHAT HE SAID……..now IF YOU ARE BREATHING, THE RCMP WILL HIRE YOU……..that’s how bad it’s gotten
ROTTEN FROM THE TOP……
I was in training in Regina when the first female troop arrived. I saw Cpl instructors helping the female recruits setting up their dorms, carrying heavy things. I’m sure there was some benefits received on both sides of the equation.
This whole area used to be wonderful small town Ontario. Not it has become Brampton spillover with all the associated enrichment. It is harder and harder to find a civilized place to live within driving distance of GTA.
I lived in Brampton when the population was about 20,000 white people. Bought a house there in 1970 for $14,500.
Like to feel sorry for but I don’t
Schomberg is small town Ontario the same way Vegreville is small town Alberta or Weyburn is small town Saskatchewan. Farmers and lawyers rub shoulders at the arena, teachers and welders play on the ball diamond, electricians and business owners work together as Lions or KofC. We are not Jane & Finch or 97 th street in Edmonton or 20th in Saskatoon but are not immune to the crimes of those cities. I do not have the answers to all our problems but do believe part of the answer will be a belief in strong families and friendship. People need to ask are they a citizen or a consumer, a part of the community or the economy. When you know the answer you will know if your town is worth living in or not.
“…strong families and friendship.” That’s very close to the whole answer. We (sic) are raising monsters.
Strong families are to be done away with according to blm stated goals, true with most left wing groups as well.
Here in the SF Bay Area … in and around Oakland, CA … where freeway shootings are a weekly happenstance … we have learned to NEVER reprimand any other motorist lest our vehicle become riddled with bullets from multiple illegal guns. No middle fingers, not waving hands, no yelling. And we know that all during our funeral … the local newscasters would bemoan “gun violence” in the Bay Area.
We know better. Because Law Enforcement no longer exists.
California, catalytic converter theft, almost. https://abc7.com/catalytic-converter-theft-suspect-run-over-killed-palmdale/12818569/?fbclid=IwAR0fI5cvzGW021B09GUUUT2vHIxuf6cwKyBeTy59elWacJzTUVus1VKbM5A
Why is society degenerating in this way? Some reasons: a. The government, media and academia scorn our Christian past. b. Families are degenerating because nobody understands perseverance in love. c. Police are not incentivized to uphold the law because those brought to justice rarely face significant consequences for their misdeeds. d. The progressive left nurtures a sense of entitlement and diminished personal responsibility. More?
No punishment for criminals.
e. generalized civilian cowardice as well
f. lack of analytical skills that would correctly identify these enumerated failings … and do something about it. Case in point – my local NextDoor app is filled DAILY with car burglaries, home invasions, catalytic converter thefts, smash and grabs, porch piracy, and assaults of all kinds … yet REFUSE to connect the rapid and bold increase in these crimes to a supermajority of leftist politicians in positions of power.
Where are the vigilantes when you need them?
It is called Rebellion Way to commemorate my ancestor, Jesse Lloyd, rallying the farmers from Lloydtown and area. They marched due to the inspiration of William Lyon Mackenzie and to overthrow the Family Compact. It all went awry at Montgomery Tavern. We in Canada still suffer from the abuse of the new order Family Compact. Last time a Lloyd family member should have listened to a Grit/Liberal
