We're the Only Ones Losing It Enough

Somewhere, somebody is illegally holding a loaded, semi-automatic handgun and 45 bullets that are the rightful property of the Waterloo regional police. Somewhere, and it might be on the streets of Toronto, Hamilton, Montreal or here in Waterloo Region, ordinary people face a greater threat of being shot or traumatized by violence because this stolen weapon is in the wrong hands.

This has been the situation since last Thursday when somebody took the gun and ammunition of a plainclothes officer after the officer left them unattended on a Kitchener sidewalk.

I don't understand it. Every time I leave my guns on the sidewalk, this never happens.

Thank goodness the "authorized journalists" saw fit not to name the unfortunate "Only One." I imagine the poor guy must have gone through enough already!

"Nor is it too late for the individual who took the knapsack and gun to turn them in -- now, before the weapon shoots somebody."

Wow. Those Canadians must have autonomous robotic guns that can shoot on their own!

This fellow needs to read a bit of reality. Sure, people make mistakes. That doesn't mean all mistakes can be or will be forgiven.
