Perhaps because the snake did in fact bite the kids.

So apparently Hulk Hogan is going to Arm Wrestle Rob Ford this weekend at Fan Expo. Someone is going to be offended by this somehow right?

No I haven't. That's why I consider it irrelevant. It's sort of a like a Crime Drama I once watching (I think a Law and Order) where the defense was trying to get a charged dropped to attempted murder because the victim died later in the hospital and they wanted to blame the doctors for the death.

That's his fault. He's the one talking about it.

We're talking semantics. If there was even a remote possibility the tazing killed Yatim then Forcillo wouldn't have been charged with murder.

But that's with breaking news. This is a newspaper columnist reporting what he was told by a source almost a month after the initial incident.

It's funny because I just started watching the Netflix series "Orange is the New Black". In that series, about a women's prison, there's a character who used to be a man. The big debate in the show was this person getting continued hormone therapy in prison. Can someone every be "legally" be considered a women, if born a man?

If it can be determined that he still posed a threat. But if so, they why did Forcillo stop shooting? These guns have 15 rounds, so he still had 6 rounds in the magazine. The TTC Security footage should provide conclusive evidence of this. We aren't privy that and probably won't be until after the trial. The tazing is a red herring. If anything is shows some sort of conspiracy to show that they did whatever possible to stop Yatim. Of course that can't be proven, but it's a theory.

You couldn't do that anyway because some might have gone through him. I'm unaware of Toronto police use Hollow points. If they duo that would also indicate 9 shots was overkill.

So then tazing him was completely redundant and had no baring on Forcillo's decision to start shooting earlier. I don't know why the other officer hasn't been charged, perhaps because he wasn't the one that killed Yatim.

I could follow up that question with asking. If the other cop was in position to Taze Yatim, why were shots fired?

That's why we have the Sun doing the same thing. There's no political bias here. Clearly sources are saying similar stuff. Could be a conspiracy but, it's not up to use to decide that. No one has come out to refute these claims as of yet.

You'll have to cite some of that. If you hit someone 8 times, he must have gone down at some point. Why continue firing? It sounds like something you'd do if you were overcome with rage.

Sure, no one is coming out on record with this. It's not irrefutable evidence that the cop is guilty. But Joe Warmington isn't trying this case before a court, he's just doing investigative reporting. The question is, if this story is true, how can this officer be found not guilty?

Confidential source. But looky here, the Star reports the exact same thing. http://www.thestar.com/news/crime/2013/08/22/sammy_yatim_shot_eight_times.html Since both the Star and Sun have reported the same thing we can pretty much rule out some sort of political bias to make stuff up to make Forcillo look bad.

If you're drinking a pint of rum, I'd be surprised if you could find he ignition switch of a car.

In the US he probably will have to. I think it's covered in Canada though.

At 8 rounds, does it matter? Was he carrying a paint gun?

Dunno, which is why this law is idiotic. What would they do if someone has a visible religious symbol tattooed on them?

Of course this was from confidential sources so if you believe Forcillo was in the right, this new revelation won't change your mind. But if it is true that he landed 8/9 rounds, I don't see how anyone can convince anyone that he was in the right.

No reason JT should have done this. Here's a column from the LIBERAL! Tarek Fatah detailing the history of the same Mosque JT was attending. http://www.torontosun.com/2013/08/20/trudeau-and-bcma-make-a-mockery-of-piety-and-politics

Apparently it's Notwithstanding clause FTW.

Just heard on the radio that now that Manning will be in the clink for a few decades he wants to go through gender re-assignment therapy. :-/

Toronto Sun cover story from Joe Warmington says Forcillo hit Yatim with 8 of the 9 shots.

I've heard gaudy ones. What about modest silver or gold ones. It's more jewellery than a religious symbol. I suppose rap stars won't be able to work for the Province of Quebec. http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ZuXhNPn_MXk/S9kK5CSvuEI/AAAAAAAAAMU/38F92f3IxVI/s1600/MAYWEATHER+BOXING+GLOVES.jpg
