Toronto was rocked by an accidental slaying in front of the Brass Rail strip club. Collateral damage is always tragic and frustrating because of how random it is. John O'Keefe was a regular at the Duke of Gloucester, a lovely, laid-back pub south of the Brass Rail, and was at the wrong place at the wrong time. Two men had been ejected from the strip club and returned with a vendetta: O'Keefe was hit by a stray bullet on his way home that had been intended for the bouncer at the Brass Rail.
Some analysis is required for a crime like this. Is this a gun control issue? An urban crime issue? A young men and violence issue? Or just a random, but tragic crime?
