On May 5th, Walt showed you the picture of a young black man who was shot in the back while walking along a west Toronto street in broad daylight, yet another example of black-on-black crime and the contribution of Jamaicans to the most multicultural city in the world.
You'll be glad to know that Toronto police have a suspect. A Canada-wide warrant has been issued for Chael Mills, 19, of Toronto, a.k.a. "Ginga". Mr. Mills is described as having a light-black complexion, 6-foot tall, 180 pounds, with brown eyes.
It took a little doing to find a picture of "Ginga" (pronounced "Jinja"). Even though a mug shot was shown on TV, neither of the two Toronto newspapers Walt reads online ran this police-supplied photo.
Both the Toronto Star and the Globe and Mail, it seems, don't like running photos of black criminals. It paints a bad picture of the "African-Canadian community", dontcha know.
Yet Toronto Police Detective Constable Mary Vruna mentioned that the victim and the suspect knew of each other prior to the incident, and the suspect, who is "known to police", is also known to have gang affiliations associated with the neighbourhood.
The Globe opened its comments section for a few minutes, but closed it after six posts. Apparently they didn't like posters talking about the race factor. The Star didn't allow any comments at all.
It's amazing to me that the bias for political correctness is so strong in the Toronto media -- or the Globe and the Star, at least -- that they steadfastly refuse to acknowledge the existence of the elephant in the room. Perhaps they think that the problem will just go back to Kingston. Don't count on it.
