The following story appeared today on Canada's Global TV News. Pretty much a typical Toronto news story, except for the names of the shooter and shootee, which you have to admit are unusual, even for the marginalized community.
A Vaughan man who admitted to killing a Toronto-area rap artist but argued he was not guilty due to a mental disorder that rendered him not criminally responsible (NCR) has been found guilty of first-degree murder.
Superior Court Justice Maureen Forestell accepted that Nirusan Shakespearethas was suffering from a mental disorder when he shot and killed 24-year-old Stephen Little-McClacken on July 16, 2022, just outside Scotiabank Arena.
However, Judge Forestell found that Shakespearethas could appreciate the moral wrongfulness of his actions at the time of the killing and was therefore criminally responsible.
"The actions of Mr. Shakespearethas before, during and after the shooting are not consistent with Mr. Shakespearethas' account that he was experiencing command hallucinations, hearing voices and seeing demons. He had a long-standing animus with Mr. Little-McClacken. The reason for his animus is not clear. Before the killing, he researched 'how to get away with murder,' not 'how to kill the devil.'"
Shakespearethas testified at trial that he believed that Little-McClacken, a rap artist who performed under the name "YB Stainz," was the devil and said he killed him to save the world. Judge Forestell said she rejected Shakespearethas' account of his thinking at the time of the killing because there were many inconsistencies in the accounts he gave to various medical professionals and during his testimony at trial.
"I find that Mr. Shakespearethas' account of his thinking at the time of the shooting evolved over time. I find that Mr. Shakespearethas exaggerated some symptoms and fabricated others. The nature and frequency of his reported symptoms increased with each assessment."
According to an agreed statement of facts, Shakespearethas fired 12 rounds. At least eight shots struck Little-McClacken, including two to the head.
Forestell said the inconsistencies in Shakespearethas' account included whether or not the two had met in person before, his reason for buying a gun, the hallucinations he reported seeing before and during the killing and the timing of his decision to kill Little-McClacken.
Around 0200 on April Fool's Day, a 22-year-old motorist lost control of his Mazda 3 and smashed into a pole in Mississausage ON, killing his passenger.
Peel Regional Police say the Mazda was travelling north along Erin Mills Parkway when it collided with a silver Jeep which was making a left turn onto Vista Boulevard, about two kilometres south of Britannia Road. Following that collision, the Peelers say, the Mazda careened down the road and collided with a hydro pole.
The driver and a passenger in the Mazda were transported to the hospital with serious injuries where the passenger, a 20-year-old man, died. The driver of the Jeep was not seriously injured.
This weekend -- more than five months after the tragic events -- the cops finally laid charges (dangerous operation of a vehicle causing death; operation while impaired by drugs causing death, and racing a motor vehicle) against... wait for it... Armaan Singh Gill, of Mississauga.
In spite of the DUI charge, the report of the incident published this weekend in the Toronto Sun, is headlined "Speed allegedly a factor in deadly Mississauga crash, motorist charged". The deadly driver simply as "Armaan Gill". No mention is made of his possible connection with the notorious Singh School of Truck Driving.
Note from Ed.: The picture above does not show Armaan Singh Gill. It may not even be a Singh of the Zodiac. 👳😄
Meanwhile, today's Peel Regional Police blotter announces that the last of three men wanted for extortion after homes were shot at in Brampton earlier this summer has been nabbed in Canada's Lalaland on the West Coast.
On July 10th and 11th, the Peelers say, gunshots were fired at residences in the area of Rolling Acres Drive, in the Mississauga Road and Queen Street West area of Brampton. Police released video -- reposted right here on WWW -- of the brazen crime showing one man firing a gun while a second appeared to be filming him on a cellphone. The suspects were seen fleeing in a black Chrysler 300, which was recovered in Winnipeg on July 13th.
On July 27th, Husandeep Singh, 20, of Mississauga, was charged with one count each of extortion and discharge firearm with intent. Canada-wide warrants were issued for two other suspects, and on Aug. 26th, Peel cops arrested Gurpreet Singh, 23, of no fixed address, in Winnipeg. He was charged with two counts of discharge firearm with intent and one count of extortion.
And now (September 12th), they felt the collar of the last suspect, Gurdeep Singh Shergill, 26, of Delta BC, in neighbouring Surrey, which has a population of Sikhs even larger than that of Brampton. He was charged with two counts of discharge firearm with intent and one count of extortion.
All three were held pending a bail hearing at the Ontario Court of Justice in Brampton. at which they are expected to be released to resume their vital work in Canada's cross-border transportation industry.
Look carefully at the dateline on the print edition of WAPO captured in this image shared by Donald Trump Jr. That's right. Saturday July 13th. And that's Saturday morning, not Saturday evening after the attempted assassination of President Trump.
To be fair to WAPO, the report was about Senile Joe's "fiery rally" in Michigan. Unfortunate choice of words for the headline. But it's just a coincidence. Right?
Earlier today, as I was writing about the shameful abuses of civil rights allegedly committed by racist, white supremacist Taco Bellers in Dallas (see below), the mojo wire started spitting out reports of shots being fired at Love Field, one of the airports serving Dallas.
We waited patiently, and can now repost edited surveillance and body camera video, released by the Dallas Police Department. The woman seen firing into the air before being taken down by a shots of a woman who fired a gun at Dallas Love Field Airport Monday and was taken down by a cop -- the Dallas police haven't been defunded yet -- has been identified as Portia Odufuwa, 37, pictured at left.
Ms Odufuwa has been charged with aggravated assault against a public servant, and, according to Dallas Police Chief Eddie Garcia, may face other federal charges. Here's the video. If you have trouble seeing clearly, you'll find the police recap below.
Airport surveillance video -- there is no sound -- shows Ms Odufuwa exiting a red Kia Sedan outside the airport Monday. She then walks into a restroom, and emerges five minutes later clad in a black hoodie with the hood pulled up over her head and her hands in her front pockets.
According to Chief Garcia, Ms Odufuwa walked to the Southwest Airlines ticketing area, stating she had an announcement to make. Surveillance video shows Officer Ronald Cronin, a 15-year veteran of the Dallas PD starting to walk towards her.
"Witnesses say Odufuwa started to ramble, talking about a marriage, incarceration and that she was going to blow up the airport," said Chief Garcia "and then pulls a handgun from her sweatshirt." In the video you can see her pointing the gun toward the ceiling. She fires multiple rounds, and you can see Officer Cronin reacting and trying to engage with her, as people in the airport scramble for cover.
According to Chief Garcia, Officer Cronin commanded the suspect to drop the weapon. "Odufuwa pointed her gun at Officer Cronin and an innocent bystander. Officer Cronin took cover behind the ticket kiosk and fired his department-issued weapon, striking the suspect multiple times. Officer Cronin held his position, and other Dallas Police Department officers arrived to take the suspect into custody."
The video shows Officer Cronin pointing his gun at the woman, who falls to the ground. Several police officers enter the terminal to assist. Ms Odufuwa was taken to an area hospital where she underwent surgery for her injuries, and is now said to be in stable condition.
The weapon used by Ms Odufuwa was not registered. Chief Garcia noted that she has been prohibited from possessing a firearm since August of 2018. NBC News reported that she had some sort of obsession with singer-songwriter Chris Brown, to whom she claims to be married.
Walt is waiting for the authorities to tell us how Ms Odufuwa, whose name suggests she is Nigerian, got into the USA, and what her immigration status is. Was that issue not raised during the 2018 court proceedings, at which she was found unfit to stand trial?
What has Ms Odufuwa been doing since 2018? Who's supporting her? If it turns out that she's an illegal immigrant (lifetime pct .972), will she be deported? Is the pope a bear? Do Catholics shit in the woods? Just askin'....
UPDATE FROM ED., added at 1600. I no sooner posted this piece than Our Man in Toronto(ish) called to say that there had been another shooting in Toronto's notorious Lawrence Heights district, raising the numbers for the weekend to 12 shootings, 14 wounded, 0 killed. More target practice needed, bwoyz! FURTHER UPDATE FROM ED., added at 1808. Guess what? Another victim walked into a nearby hospital about the time I was writing the first update! That makes 12 shootings, 15 wounded, still no fatalities. YET ANOTHER UPDATE FROM ED., added 6/8/19, 0520. Checking the mojo wire by the dawn's early light, CBC reports two more shootings, two more injured, bringing the totals for Toronto's Caribbean Carnival weekend to 14 shootings, 17 injured. "Police have not released any information on possible suspects" in any of the incidents.
This is a screen grab from CTV's Toronto flagship's website, this afternoon. One of Walt's agents, who was born in Toronto and lived there for some years but now avoids it like the plague [black plague? Ed.] says Chief Saunders is badly in need of a reality check. 11 shooting incidents, with 13 people wounded (but none killed -- poor shots!) is indeed Toronto... or, at least, Toronto on the weekend of the Caribbean Carnival.
Said Carnival is billed as "the largest cultural event of its kind in North America". What culture do you suppose they're talking about? Why, errr, Caribbean culture, mon! The 11 shooting incidents mentined above are only those that were reported, as millions (literally) of the people of colour who have contributed so much to Canada swarmed the streets in a hyuge jump-up. Diversity reigned! Numerous "Jamaican salutes" were fired. The debris is still being cleaned up as this is written.
Perhaps the problem, for Chief Saunders (who is a human of colour) is that he doesn't like to admit that the perps as well as the victims were, to a person, black. At least that's what one may conclude from viewing the bits of video that are being shown on CTV. But Chief Saunders' persons are "not releasing any suspect information." That's because the only applicable adjective would be "black", and a description like "black male, spoke with a Jamaican accent" would fit tens of thousands of revellers.
Hundreds of said revellers were celebrating de end of carnival at a "packed" nightclub in Toronto's northwest ghetto when someone starting shooting, injuring five or seven, depending on which channel you're watching. The Toronto Police "Service" is appealing to any witnesses to come forward, but so far no-one has done so. Chances of someone snitching on a bro? Slim and none!
I would hope Toronto voters would remember this weekend during the upcoming election campaign, every time Just In Trudeau or his Minister of Refugees and Immigration (seriously, that's his title!) says "Diversity is our strength!" But I'm betting the other way.
One of Canada's "independent" broadcasters scooped the state-owned Canadian Broadcorping Castration a few minutes ago with a report that ISIS (or ISIL or IS or the Islamic State -- whatever) has claimed responsibility for Sunday night's mass shooting in Toronto's Greektown. However, they have not provided any evidence or support for the unsubstantiated claim.
CTV is passing on a Reuters report which quotes a statement released by the Islamic terrorists' AMAQ news agency, which referred to 29-year-old Faisal Hussain, pictured, as "a soldier of the Islamic State" who "carried out the attack in response to calls to target the citizens of the coalition countries." That's pretty much a set-in-cold-type statement from ISIS, which regularly claims responsibility for attacks carried out in the West, but those attacks are not always found to be inspired or directed by the terrorist organization.
The CBC may be a bit slow to pick up this story, since it contradicts the official Liberal government line, parroted just yesterday by Ralph Goodale, the Minister of Public Safety [sic], that the matter was being investigated by Toronto police (read: not by the feds) and that neither the "incident" nor Mr Hussain were in any way "connected with national security". I've never understood why poor ole Ralph, a nice guy from Saskatchewan, has to carry the can on the terrorism file. Why don't they ask Just In Trudeau or the Somali-born Minister of Refugees &c [sic].
Toronto police, meanwhile, have come up with a theory about where Mr Hussain got his gun. As Walt told you, the Thorncliffe Park area of Toronto, where the family lived, is infested with "refugees" and with gangs of Afghans and other scum. Mr Hussain's older brother (who is conveniently can't be interviewed, since he's in hospital in a coma) had ties to one of those gangs, Inspector Knacker says, and probably gave the gun to his kid brother.
The cops have executed a search warrant in the Pakistani family's apartment on the 7th floor of the refugee camp at 43 Thorncliffe Park and are expected to have something more to say in the next day or two about what they found.
As reported on WWW this morning, Toronto Mayor John Tory warned the public not to jump to any conclusions regarding the identity or motive of the olive-skinned, bearded man who shot 16 people in the city's Greektown district last night. Walt jumped anyway and, in defiance of M-103, had the temerity to suggest that the perp might be a follower of Mohammed, and the shooting an act of Islamic terrorism.
The politicians, police and (((controlled media))) (Hello, CBC!) knew immediately the identity, ethnicity, religion and citizenship status of the killer, but managed to keep a lid on it until 1730 EDT, when they finally caved in to public pressure and named him as 29-year-old Faisal Hussain (no relation to you-know-who of the Somali-Canadian Minister of Refugees &c), who lived with his parents in the Thorncliffe Park district of Toronto. That area is home to 1000s of "refugees" from Somalia, Pakistan and other shitholes, but nothing has been said yet about how Mr Hussain came to Canuckistan or his status in the alleged country.
Nor has anything been said, as yet, about Mr Hussain's motive. His family came from Pakistan, a hotbed of militant Islamic terror. He was a follower of the Prophet, of course, so don't be suprised if he was acting as a jihadi, a good soldier of ISIS. Don't be surprised, also, when the lamestream media starts making excuses, as portrayed here.
The official line was revealed within minutes of the police identification of the killer, with the release of a statement, in perfect English, from the boy's parents, who said that he had been suffering for a long time with mental health issues. And so on. Nothing to do with Islam or ISIS or anything like that. Everyone knows there's no danger from Islamic terrorists, eh. Not in good old Canada, which welcomes all those fleeing oppression, particularly those who are barred from entering the USA by the evil Trump!
Here's something you don't see every day... and thank God for that! Copied from Canada's Global News, this is a video taken in Toronto's Greektown last night.
The gunman unloaded his firearm into a crowded restaurant, killing two and injuring 12. (This is a developing story. Numbers may change.) The murderer is also dead, whether by his own hand or shot by police is unclear.
Also unclear -- because Toronto's finest won't say -- is the identity of the killer, described as being 29 years old and, errr, that's it. Walt notes that the shooter is not wearing the hoodie which is standard issue for Toronto's legion of gangstas. You can see his face pretty clearly. He is (a) bearded and (b) not black. Is it too soon to jump to a conclusion? Certainly this is not the typical black-on-black shooting which occurs in certain Toronto `hoods (Gooood mornin', Jane-Finch!) with astonishing regularity.
Which brings us to motive. The copz aren't saying anything about that either and the gunman himself isn't talking, by reason of being deceased. Let's be brave -- to hell with M-103 -- and follow my first conclusion to another one. A bearded whitish guy opening fire into a crowd. What was going on there? Could it be what the politically correct politicians call a "terrorist incident"? (It is customary in Canada and western Europe not to preface that phrase with adjectives like "Muslim" or "Islamic".)
So far there are no reports of shouts of "Allahu akbar!" being heard, and in the video you can't hear the murderer yelling anything. An eyewitness told Global News that the gunman shot a woman multiple times as she was trying to run away, killing her. "It was horrible," said the witness. "You don't expect this on Danforth of all places. But the guy...had this look on his face, while I saw his profile, like he was screaming at something and shooting."
"Screaming at something", eh. If I were a betting man, I know which way I'd play this. But here's a clip of the Mayor of Toronto -- Tory by name but liberal by nature -- warning us not to jump to conclusions! LOL
Meanwhile, in other news, the government of Canuckistan announced yesterday that it would welcome another 200 Syrian "refugees" -- Muslims, of course -- who are fleeing the civil war in that shithole, now that Assad has pretty much won. But these are not your average "refugees". These are "White Helmets", who have been "giving humanitarian support" to the anti-Assad rebels. Is there any possibility that they will continue the fight from their sanctuary in Canada? Don't be silly!
This is an update of Walt's bare-bones report on the mass murder at the offices of the Capital-Gazette, in Annapolis MD, first posted just after 1700. At that point the body count was 5 dead and 7 wounded, some seriously. Local cops were keeping shtum about the suspect they had taken into custody, supposedly because he had mutilated his fingertips making it difficult to identify him by fingerprints.
Similarly, nobody was saying anything about the shooter's possible motivation. I suggested three possibilities:
- Crazed anti-Trumper protesting President Trump's "Muslim ban" after hearing the ladies of The View denigrate the ban, the President, and SCOTUS, all in one breath.
- Crazed... something or somebody else... maybe an ex-employee who went postal. Who knows?
The (((controlled media))) were quick to jump to the first or second conclusion, leaning to the second when it was learned that the killer was a white man. All too typical was Rob Cox, Global Editor for Thomson Reuters' Breakingviews who tweeted (@rob1cox): "This is what happens when @realDonaldTrump calls journalists the enemy of the people. Blood is on your hands, Mr. President. Save your thoughts and prayers for your empty soul."
Imagine the consternation of Mr Cox (and all the other liberal meeja types who were writing their own similar messages) when the shooter was revealed, by the Baltimore Sun, the owners of the Capital-Gazette, to be 38-year-old "Jarrod W. Ramos, a man with a longstanding dispute with the newspaper." Mr Ramos filed a defamation lawsuit against the paper and one of its columnists in 2012.
Mr Cox has since deleted his tweet and acknowledges "jumping to a conclusion." Although Mr Ramos appears not to be an ex-employee of the newspaper, I think my third guess is close enough to raise my lifetime pct to .989. Keep that in mind any time you want to know what's really going on.
