Woke up today, stepped outside at 6:20am, and was greeted by a street flooded with police cruisers. Over half my street was tapped off with police yellow tape and I counted 6 cop cars and one investigation paddy truck. Double stabbing happened a hop, skip and a jump away from my apartment building's front door. Scary stuff.
"This is definitely not Korea", I mumbled to myself.
It's moments like this that instant remind me that yes I am not in Korea anymore, I am in Toronto, and things are most definitely different this side of the globe. Just yesterday a 14yr old high school girl walked into her school and attacked something like 8 people with a knife.
It's the random violence that scares me, not the targeted stuff, so that 14yr scares the hell out of me but I am ok with the double stabbing that blocked traffic and took over my street. I'm not associated with trouble here in Canada like I was in Korea. I don't train gang members here nor do I lend money to loan sharks and personal train working girls at their clubs. My hands are clean here and the closest I get to anything illegal is j-walking.
