If this had happened in my neighborhood, or most of yours, none of us would now be hearing about it.
Yet if it’s unconscionable for some, it’s unconscionable for all.
As much as I regret that anyone goes through something like this, you cannot have a discussion about crime without also having a discussion about wealth inequality and poverty.
But they’re only talking about the first part, so . . . I hate to say it, but zero fucks given. They can take care of themselves. Anyone living in Bridle Path, Toronto with Drake and Celine Dion is not going to have the same struggle as a working person who has inadequate or no health insurance but still has bills to pay and a family to feed in the aftermath of an attack like this.
I would not wish it on them, but these ultra-rich folks ARE the problem that created the circumstances – the poverty and wealth inequality – that led to their own attack. And as such, they will have police, government, and medical lined up around the block to help them through this.

They don’t need me to care too.
My compassion is best invested elsewhere. They have taken enough resources already.
