The associated press, in its article "Canadian uses crossbow to kill another man" reports:
A Canadian man was charged with first-degree murder Friday [December 3, 2010] for fatally shooting his father in the back with a crossbow in a Toronto library as shocked mothers and children watched.Then the very next paragraph elucidates:
Zhou Fang, 24, appeared in court to face the murder charge a day after Si Cheng, 52, was killed in the library about an hour after a nearby school let out for the day. The judge ordered that Fang be held without bail.Canadian journalists and news reporters are using "Canadian" to mean anyone who resides in Canada. They don't even bother to qualify the word with "an immigrant to Canada." It is clear as we read further that these were Chinese men, and possibly first generation immigrants.
Commentators at the article realize there is more to the story than a "Canadian" with a crossbow. One writes:
Canadian hockey players try to kill each other every night--and they do it with sticks.Another writes:
Typical Canadians...A few jokes:
Killerbee says: Can't blame him. He though it was a moose. :D
Roberta quips: At least Fang was considerate enough to the other library patrons to use a weapon that didn't make any noise. Just imagine how upset the Canadian police would be if there had been a loud bang in a library.This comment gets closer to the truth:
Zhou Fang in the library, with a cross-bow.Sam writes:
My guess is that he is actually a crazy Chinese guy and not a REAL Canadian.Chris can't use "Chinese" and opts for the generic "Asian":
Canada really needs to start screening their immigrants better. First an asian dude decapitates a guy on a bus and eats his head, now this asian guy shoots his dad in the back with a crossbow in a library and kills him. What's next?Lee Vinning suggests a solution:
Another argument for immigration control and reform.But Pig Mohammed had the right idea, much earlier in the comments (at #20 out of 166). His train of thought was captured sporadically, but never caught on.
Does Zhou Fang and Si Cheng sound Canadian to you? Get real, liberal lamestream media. Nobody is buying your lefty crap anymore. These were two third world rats settling a score like they do back home in whatever toilet country they crawled out of.. NOTHING Canadian about it.In the AP article, a witness says about Zhou Fang,
He looked very calm and was holding something in his hand...I noticed him but it’s not like he was acting strange or anything.This is the second, bizarre and ultra-violent incident involving Chinese immigrants in Canada. The first involved Chinese Muslim Vincent Li, the Greyhound bus decapitator of two years ago who cut off the head of the traveler sleeping next to him. Li also had a calm demeanor, unfitting for the violent crime he had just committed.
These murderers are using knives and cross-bows, primitive weapons, to wreak havoc. Even Rosie DiManno, the ultra-liberal Toronto Star's ultra liberal columnist writes,
The crossbow is a weapon of medieval war.DiManno continues:
The bolt struck Cheng in the back, causing massive trauma. He was pronounced dead at the scene, that ghastly image forever imprinted on the minds of witnesses mulling about the book stacks, including children and their moms.Chinese immigrants are touted as model immigrants, with high education levels, living peaceful and prosperous lives, and quickly assimilating into the Canadian society.
But, I wrote recently of my four-year interaction with Chinese immigrants as an English as a Second Language (ESL) teacher. I reached my peak after three years, and quit the post at my fourth year. I wrote about leaving my position:
I left (abruptly to my supervisors) after some months of reflection. My main reason (which I of course didn't disclose) was that I didn't find any sense of commitment to Canada by these Chinese immigrants (or Chinese newcomers, as the ESL crowd called them). In fact, I thought I was giving them too much information with which they can continue their Chinese alliances (and affinities) while seeing what they can claim from Canada. I got this impression from discussions during the class. In one class I got the students to sing the Canadian national anthem, partly as a reaction to their anti-Canadianism during a discussion, standing up. Some refused to sing, others made a fuss about getting up. That's when I knew my days were numbered.I found there had no real commitment to Canadian and Western history, culture or even society. I found this even with second and third generation Chinese. This aspect became clear during my art school years, where every single Chinese-Canadian student would go out of his way to incorporate Chinese elements into his work. And there I was foolishly channeling the German-American Josef Albers, or the English Arts and Crafts mogul William Morris.
