I agree with you completely, but in my defense; that information wasn't in the original article. Every person has a right to protect themselves, and an even greater right to flee for their safety. However, fleeing out of fear and injuring someone is one thing, showing the malice that you described is a whole other story.

whyeye... no biggie; like I first posted, I've been all over this for a while. The war stories I've heard out of Toronto make it stand out a bit...especially when Canada has Le Route Vert, the biggest greenway system on the continent! If I could afford to take a summer off, I'd do the whole thing!
