Summary
Never in my right mind did I ever expect anything like this happening in Ontario. Eight bodies were found just south of London, Ontario. Police believe the victims knew each other. News organisations scramble to delve out as much information as they could grasp, even though the authorities have been tight lipped. Residents are interviewed by the scene, wondering, like the news crews, what went on. To be honest with you, this has caught me by surprise. I normally viewed the Southwestern area of Ontario as quite the quiet place. I thought most gang-related murders happened within the Greater Toronto Area. Of course, I was naive with those thoughts. Even the police were caught by surprise, the first investigation into so many deaths. Mass murder isn't exactly a common occurence, even in the Greater Toronto Area. Actually, crime itself isn't rampant here. Bu when you hear news like this, it definitely concerns you; what can you do to prevent further crime and such. But what CAN we do to prevent crime? It is such a puzzling component to society that I do not understand. Therei s always the examination of what leads to the crime. Community service workers believe that one's economic state could play a factor in committing said crime. You could bet on teen angst, anger or just plain stupidity that results in breaking the law. But for this specific investigation, organised crime could be involved. That, and only that makes the investigation even more complicated.
