Two twenty year old men are just about to be tried for the horrible crime they commit as seventeen year old boys, the murder of fifteen year old Jordan Manners. The homicide occured in the middle of the hallway at C.W Jeffrey's Collegiate, where the two culprits got away without identification, after shooting the boy several times. Due to the age of the culprits at the time of the crime, they will remain anonymous, but within four days, one guilty man was found during an investigation, and the second turned himself in, shortly after his accomplice was caught. Toronto District School Board has now 
released an 1000 page report following this, which will be followed by taking serious action against all sorts of sexual harassment and violence that go unreported, which happens far too often in these schools. More resources and a phone hotline are ideas of things that should be provided for the predicted 250,000 kids who go to these schools in fear. His funeral recalled the boy as being a fun loving and honest young man, and his memory will now help to clean up the bad situations in these schools.
I definitlely think this is a horrific crime, and that these two culprits should be trialed as aduts, as a seventeen year old should most certainly know that murdering people in the middle of a school hallway isn't the best idea. I do think, though, that these environments are very hard on young men, who need stimulation through means of creative or active extracurricular activities, rather than find their fun in gang culture. The school board is not going about fixing this the right way, as troubled men are not likely to call a hotline, but to take a support disguised as a fun activity. I really think that the other problem is that these young men were able to get into school carrying two handguns, and that the security in these rougher areas should be stricter. But as you saw in my previous entry, random acts of violence and vandalism can occur at absolutely any school. Overall, I offer my sincere condolences to the young man whose life was taken away far too early.
