Violent acts: two views

Radio-Canada has a thoughtful Pascal Robidas piece on how troubled mental health was at the heart of the five homicides the city had seen up till Sunday, but then there was a sixth homicide later which was a typical gang slaying, a man shot on the sidewalk from a car. A different kind of trouble in social adjustment, perhaps.

TVA says there have already been four episodes of firearm violence so far this year, but some of the incidents listed were gunfire with no victims.
