//TORONTO (Reuters) - A Canadian man, driving a car packed with weapons and ammunition, was intent on killing as many people as possible in a Toronto neighborhood but gave up the plan at the last minute when he encountered a friendly dog, police said on Thursday.

The middle-aged man, who police said was mentally disturbed, had planned to carry out the shooting spree on Wednesday to ensure he would be put in jail permanently, Toronto police said.

He had set himself up in an east-end park to load his weapons and then planned to drive around shooting. He later told police that a dog then approached and started playing with him.

The encounter melted the man's heart, and he then went in search of police to give himself up, police said.

"He happens to be a pet lover, and decided that since there was such a nice dog in the area, that people were too nice and he wasn't going to carry out his plan," Detective Nick Ashley told reporters.

Police found 6,000 rounds of ammunition, two rifles, a shotgun, a semi-automatic pistol, a revolver and an air rifle in the man's car, along with a machete and a hunting knife. The car also contained a throwing knife, a camouflage mask and netting. //
 
True or not, you never know when a kind word and smile may completely alter someone's day.

Ah, the joys of pet ownership.

It's frightening how the human mind works sometimes. Along with the fact that this mentally unstable individual can amass such a large amount of weaponry.
Makes you wonder how many others like him are out there?.

thanks Pure.:rose:

I live in a shack. But in the better of the slums,thank you.
 
Dogs can’t rule the world until people learn to see things from someone else’s perspective.

A dog lifts its leg against our ankle and we take it as an insult.

Actually, that’s the dog’s way of signing the adoption papers. We have just been chosen.


(Looking around and wondering what all this had to do with proposed dogs in the Pentagon. )

I grew up in Scarberia. I moved away as soon as I could. One of the better decisions of my life.

'Your God, my God - just the same,' Kerbalay said, not understanding. 'God same for everyone, only people different. Some are Russians, some Turks, some English, there's all kinds of different people, but God is one.'

'All right then. If all nations worship the same God, then why do you Muslims treat Christians as your eternal enemies?'

'Why you angry?' Kerbalay asked, clutching his belly with both hands. 'You're priest, me Muslim, you say "I want to eat" and I give you food . . . Only the rich man make difference which your God, which my God. But it's all the same for the poor man. Please eat.'

- from The Duel by Anton Chekhov, 1891




Let's let God be dead.
