It doesn't bother me, I grew up different than you, in a different country...If they want to fukk w/ pills and dope, that's their business.
not saying its bothering me, it just shows you how carzy this city is, where 1,100 can only get you a 1bdrm aparment in a building filled with fiends

this dude terrorized the city. I Remember when he was caught he was peeing on his hands to try and get rid of gun residue
To answer a simple question from his lawyer about whom he relies on for much of his daily routine, Jason Walters used his left hand to slowly form three letters on a piece of paper.
Mom.
Walters, 32, suffers from aphasia, a brain condition that leaves him often unable to articulate or understand words. He developed it after being beaten unconscious by a group of fellow inmates in the Toronto (Don) Jail in November 2008 — an attack allegedly led by the notorious leader of a rival gang.
Seven years later, Walters took the stand at a civil trial in which he and his family are suing the province for $10 million, alleging he should not have been kept on the same range in the jail as a member of a rival gang.
At the time, Walters was a member of the Malvern Crew gang who had been arrested three days earlier on several firearms charges. The ringleader of the attack is alleged to beTyshan Riley, leader of the Galloway Boys, who is now serving a life sentence for the murder of a man from the Malvern area. He has also been convicted of three attempted murders
No wonder Galloway Boys' gang leader Tyshan Riley was smirking in the prisoner's box with nothing to say.
No words of apology to Chris Hyatt for leaving the Malvern man so terrified after being shot as a high school student seven years ago that he's had to leave his Toronto family and go into hiding. No words of regret to Kofi Patrong who almost lost his leg after Riley randomly riddled him with bullets, and who is now in constant pain and disabled with a heavy limp.
Not that anyone was surprised by the notorious killer's silence, this one-man execution squad who liked to call himself "Master P on the block".
"He's the purest form of human evil," said a disgusted homicide Det.-Sgt. Wayne Banks outside the courtroom Thursday. "He has no regard for life. He'd kill innocent people just because of where they lived. If you lived in Malvern, you deserved to die. Your life meant nothing."
The two Malvern teens were in Patrong's backyard smoking marijuana. Hyatt was in his high school uniform on his lunch break. Patrong had just finished his last high school credit and was hoping to be rehired at a bank. Neither kid had any gang affiliation or had ever been in trouble with the law.
But that didn't seem to matter to the gun-wielding Riley.
Fuelled by a belief that the Malvern Crew murdered his mentor in 2002, Riley liked to terrorize his rival gang's neighbourhood by randomly shooting people.
So after getting his hair braided on April 19, 2004, he went on his latest shooting rampage. Unaware that he was being wiretapped and had momentarily eluded police surveillance, Riley gunned down the two 19-year-olds and is then overheard boasting of how one of the teens tried to jump the fence and how he now needs to order more .40 calibre bullets.
For his "cowardly and despicable" acts, superior court Justice John McMahon sentenced him to two concurrent 18-year sentences for each count of attempted murder.
"Vigilante justice cannot and will not be tolerated," McMahon said. "This city cannot be turned into a war zone."
But the gangster is already serving two concurrent life terms for the brazen March 2004 drive-by slaying of Brenton Charlton and the attempted murder of Leonard Bell -- two men he mistakenly targeted as rival Malvern gang members.
Riley was also facing two more first-degree murder charges for the deaths of Malvern crack dealer Eric Mutiisa and innocent target Omar Hortley but the Crown reluctantly withdrew both Thursday, saying it was not in the public interest to proceed.
After all, it wouldn't extend Riley's time in prison.
Whether he murdered one man or three, tried to kill one or many more, the end result is no different under our system -- Riley can't serve more than his one life term with no eligibility for parole for 25 years.
No matter how many more convictions are added to his lengthy resume.
So he was smirking and bored during his sentencing hearing as court heard how Hyatt and Patrong have been traumatized by his callous shooting spree. Hit four times, Hyatt described the pain in his victim impact statement "as if an iron that's on max, pressing against your skin burning and searing flesh."
Forced to go into hiding because he fears Riley's associates, he had Crown attorney Leslie Pasquino read his statement. "I think what has been most challenging and hurtful, and it still is, is not being able to see my family."
Now 26, Patrong was in the courtroom but could barely lift his head to face the remorseless man who has left him in constant pain. Once hopeful of being a gas technician, the father of two can't physically do the job and is unemployed.
"I'm just trying to bear through the pain and numb it out and forget about it," Patrong explained. "I just want to put this behind me and get on with my life."
And yet his fear is palpable. The terror of Malvern has been locked up for now. But Riley has filed an appeal on his first-degree murder conviction and no doubt he'll appeal these convictions as well.

If places like Aurora are already that expensive I'm moving out of the GTA.
Aurora is already far out in the boonies and there's no chance I will be scoring a high paying job anywhere other than downtown.
Plotting to give up the "6ix" life. Good luck my nikkas!
Is there a Montreal thread?
