Confessions of a Misguided Trio

Is there nothing sacred anymore?

"There is a massive manhunt underway after a man was shot dead during a funeral service for a murder victim in Toronto's west end.
Just after the noon hour on Friday, 18-year-old Amon Beckles was on his way to smoke a cigarette outside a Seventh Day Adventist Church in Etobicoke.
He was confronted by at least three men in the church lobby. One of them, allegedly brandishing a semi-automatic weapon, opened fire on Beckles. He was taken from the church to a nearby hospital, but did not survive his injuries.
In a sad connection, Beckles was cut down during a funeral for his friend -- 17-year-old Jamal Michael Hemmings, who was shot Nov. 9 in an Eglinton Avenue West parking lot. Beckles was a witness to Hemmings' murder.
Inside the sanctuary, 300 people were sent running and ducking for cover as the shots rang out."

This goes right up there with the targeting and bombing of hospitals and triage tents in the Sudan. I'm convinced that nowhere is safe anymore...except perhaps Switzerland.
