As for AO's comments, her feelings seem to reflect those of many middle class blacks and/or law abiding blacks in Toronto who earnestly believe that the public outcry wouldn't have been so large if they had been shot. Already, we see the media has been heavily covering the shooting of Chantel Dunn and to little fanfare. She just isn't as sympathetic to the general public. As for the reverend ... well the speeches are good for TV but man is revered (pardon the pun) for actually spearheading and running the programs to reduce crime in Boston. By contrast, Rivers was invited to Toronto for less than a week to give the equivalent of a motivational speech. He may inspire some people for a few weeks or months, but without any decisive steps that interest will fizzle out. What will be interesting to watch is what Mike Clemons does with his share of the the $30 million donated by the province. The Argos have been going into neighbourhoods for quite some time now and motivating children away from the gang life. With the extra money one hopes he will expand his programs.

At least Reverend Rivers isn't screaming racism all the time as AO seems to be doing. As for Mayor Miller, I hope he meets the same fate as Prime Minister Martin in the last election.
