I DO NOT want to be insensitive or flippant re this - and actually wondered when hearing this yet-again vehicle mow-down... do our 3 Town Squares have bollards that can slow/stop vehicles? Just checked TV site -live vids of the Squares...NOPE. Never really noticed. Note to TV Security mgt....

I heard on radio news that about 100 people have been killed and many hundreds injured by vehicular attacks as this one in Toronto in the past 5 years or so. (would think it would be higher, but) How many by drunk/sleepy/inattentive(texting) in the USA alone in that period??? MANY times that - but as in anything - like terror, plane or train, fires, you name it - get the media's -and OUR attention.
I tried not to feed the crazies in a different post and thought people here could read between the lines without spelling it out - maybe some did but apparently many did not - make the town squares golf cart only accessible for safety's sake !
