ANGELS OF CHANGE

'Mayor Miller Doesn't Seem To Have Any Concept Of The War Zone That Is
The Street'

Could the Guardian Angels' first Toronto patrol tonight mark the
beginning of the end of Mayor David Miller's reign as mayor?

Interesting thought! Wishful thinking? Guardian Angels founder Curtis
Sliwa doesn't think so. He's seen this kind of head-in-the-sand
response of weak politicians like Miller before. The strong ones like
Rudy Giuliani don't run and hide like a baby like Miller has. "It's a
signal of the winds of change that are coming," said Sliwa.

In other words Sliwa believes the negative reaction from the mayor's
office is a result of Miller being afraid of the crime problem and how
it could effect him in November.

Who knows if he'd lose the election but one thing for sure Miller has
so far badly lost the public relations battle. Most media polls show
people want the Angels to be given a chance in our crime-ridden city.
"I will tell you I was everywhere from Regent Park to High Park to
Forest Hill and I didn't hear much support for the mayor. People are
very upset about the crime situation," said Sliwa.

The fight against the Guardian Angels symbolizes that and Sliwa
believes "it's the last gasp and Miller doesn't see what is coming."

A loss in November is what he believes it will be. If ever a mayor
deserved to be kicked out, it's this guy.

Imagine Miller refusing to meet with these guys! What's he for?
Meanwhile his main rival, Councillor Jane Pitfield, has met with them
and says she will crack down on crime. "Jane Pitfield gets it," said
Guardian Angels Canadian director Lou Hoffer who with Canadian
training director Edd Scorpio was last night surveying Yonge-Dundas
Square where they will commence at 6:30 p.m.

This will come just 48 hours after the city barred the Angels from
having their graduation ceremony in a downtown seniors' residence. Too
bad they aren't as effective getting the drug dealers away from that
building!

The residents had never seen city housing management or police move so
fast. Next time they may tell them it's the Guardian Angels on the
premises instead of drug dealers.

If only they could get management to get a plumber to move like that
when the toilet is jammed and the stink is unbearable. And this stench
is.

Maybe incompetent Miller hasn't been told that this is the Guardian
Angels and not the Hells Angels. Heck, Hoffer and the Canadian chapter
has had more face time with New York Mayor David Bloomberg.

"To Mayor Miller it's a cold war policy," said Sliwa. "He comes at
things with all the liberal ideals, diversity, multiculturalism and
sensitivity and all of that but with this he is Neanderthal and not at
all open-minded."

Sliwa, as well as Hoffer, understand what this means.

"I have told them they will be looking at our belly button lint," said
Sliwa.

Miller's over the top lack of respect does show what a lightweight he
is. And how petty. He's afraid of 24 street patrol volunteers who want
to help. But just like he can't do with the shootings, he hasn't
stopped the Guardian Angels.

They are moving ahead without him tonight symbolically at Yonge-Dundas
Square -- within metres of many murders including Jane Creba, and one
of Kemar Brown at Church and Dundas Sts. around the same time the
Angels were being harassed by the city.

Oh, the irony. But Miller doesn't seem to have any concept of the war
zone that is the street. His approach is as much an embarrassment as
is the violence. The gang of inept lefties who run the city don't seem
to know about the drug deals, the prostitution, the murder. They don't
seem to know about the tourists being harassed by panhandlers.

But we shouldn't be surprised since this is the same crowd who want to
turn police officers into social workers -- starting with making them
wear name tags like they do at Burger King. Meanwhile, the name tags
on the toes of corpses continue to stack up. So far in 2006 it's at 35
and counting. Who is next? What's his or her name?

If Curtis Sliwa is correct perhaps in 2007 it will be Mayor Jane
Pitfield's problem to solve.
