A panhandler killed someone in Toronto recently, and there were literally hundreds of newspaper articles about it, with lots of chest-thumping by politicians, police, and the media about "doing something" about the evil that is asking for help on the street. Yesterday, two men doused a homeless woman in gasoline or lighter fluid and set her on fire. There are a small handful of short articles about it in some of the more vaguely left-leaning papers like the Toronto Star -- and the only comment the police have is, "It's part of the transient lifestyle. Unfortunately that's the city we live in."
Translation: "Oh well, another no-good worthless bum set on fire. Ho hum. Pass the donuts."
Things are getting very ugly very quickly.
