Shooter of subway fare collector may have been male or female: police

One year after Toronto subway fare collector William Anderson was shot and badly wounded in a botched robbery at the downtown Dupont station, a $25,000 reward for information leading to the conviction of the masked gunman - or gunwoman - was renewed Tuesday, with a fresh appeal for tips.

Now 53, Mr. Anderson remains off the job, still recovering from being shot in the neck and shoulder by his balaclava-clad assailant, who’s believed to have targeted that same station twice before.

The description of that person, glimpsed on video, has been revised and the perpetrator may be male or female, Staff. Insp. Mike Earl of the hold-up squad told media at police headquarters.

Unless, of course, it was neither.

[SkyDancer]

A Muslim?

[cripplecreek]

[PGR88]

Also, the shooter may or may not be wearing a hat

[Revolting cat!]

And since the incident, the male could’ve become female, and female could’ve become male. Check the sex change clinics!

[Principled]

lol

[Lurkina.n.Learnin]

It’s just so hard to tell these days.

[pricilla]

so they’re looking for a man or a woman,well that narrows it down a bit.Hooray for the police....

[4yearlurker]

Experts agree that the shooter is either dead or alive.

[ExxonPatrolUs]

So if it were L,G,B and T in the lineup I guess we can count out T.

[Brownie63]

That certainly narrows it down. They also believe that the shooter was bipedal; had only one nose; and was armed with a firearm at one time of the shooting.

[KC_Lion]

Well that narrowed it down by...

..NOTHING!!

[Captain Rhino]

Also word on the street is that the shooter is named Heisenberg and owns a cat.

[SkyDancer]

As they say “Great observation there Lou” - you have to wonder about law enforcement in any state or country. Without them and others we’d have no entertainment.

[R_Kangel]

"Shooter of subway fare collector may have been male or female: police..."

..... Well ... that sure narrows it down!!

[GeronL]

That really narrows it down, that does

[GeronL]

lolz

That is funny

so is this:

Also word on the street is that the shooter is named Heisenberg and owns a cat.

I heard the word on the street is that the shooter is named Schrödinger, and may or may not still own a cat....

[csmusaret]

Where did you get that pic of Janet Napolitano?

[History Repeats]

I thought it was Rachael Maddow.

[Bigh4u2]

schrodinger’s cat

:0)

[CrazyIvan]

LOL!

[Disambiguator]

I thought it was Rachael Maddow.

I'm beginning to think that Rachel Maddow is actually Wil Wheaton in (sort of) drag. ;^)

[xrmusn]

I know it is rhetorical, but being somewhat ‘anal’, doesn’t anyone read these press releases or somehow, somewhere an editor is paid to make sure these little slips don’t make the final cut?

So, I guess being self classified as ‘somewhat anal’, is better than being ‘completely anal’ or perhaps ‘not anal at all’, which could be the cause of constipgrumpiness!! <:

[devolve]

- Until it infringes upon and/or mortally damages a SCOTUS Justice or Obama thou have no standing

[ZirconEncrustedTweezers]

I guess that means they’re pretty sure the shooter wasn’t trangendered then!

[Squawk 8888]

I live in downtown Toronto. Trust me, it does narrow it down. You don’t want to know why.

[Squawk 8888]

Unless, of course, it was neither.

Here in Toronto, a distinct possibility.

To all- please ping me to Canadian topics.

Canada Non-Ping!

[Captain Rhino]

You are, of course, correct. Heisenberg only supplied the uncertainty. Schrödinger supplied the cat and the box.

[KarlInOhio]

Shooter of subway fare collector may have been male or female: police

Oh, Cana-duh!

[elkfersupper]

I'm pretty sure I could ascertain that and testify to my findings.

I don't understand the problem.

[Captain Rhino]

To rephrase:

“Word on the street is that the shooter is named Heisenberg and that he has a strange friend named Schrödinger who keeps his cat in a box.”

[pricilla]

"I live in downtown Toronto. Trust me, it does narrow it down. You don’t want to know why"

(sigh)It's crap like this that makes me feel really old....

[elkfersupper]

“Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don’t.........”

[SparkyBass]

I, for one, think it was Kaiser Sose.

[Doomonyou]

That’s helpful, they’ve now narrowed it down to seven billion suspects.

[mtg]

I suppose this could be a legitimate statement if the person has had a sex change operation.

[BenLurkin]

Just go to the coastal communites north of L.A..

The white “men” dress like beach boys and the “women” dress lke men.

I’ll say this for the Mexicans: at least the males wear the pants in the family.

Literally.

[Graybeard58]

Your graphic is funny. Plus hunters shouldn’t hunt poor defenseless animals for food, they can just buy their meat in grocery stores, like everybody else.

[Gandalf_The_Gray]

Also word on the street is that the shooter is named Heisenberg and owns a cat.

Schrödinger proposed the "cat dichotomy" It illustrates what he saw as the problem of the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics applied to everyday objects, resulting in a contradiction with common sense.

Heisenberg postulated the "Uncertainty Principle" a pillar of the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics...

...and the perpetrator may be male or female, ...

Well, I guess that does help narrow it down a little, since there seem to be alternatives today.

[2111USMC]

balaclava-clad assailant

That would narrow it down to DHS, BATFE, or your local drug enforcement officer.

[Captain Rhino]

See post 30 and 31 above.

I work in defense contracting where common sense (especially in the current budget “crisis”) is in constant short supply. Consequently, uncertainty about whether your cat (program) is alive or dead or what its current quantum state is (adequately funded (or not)) is a fairly common state of affairs around here.

How many sexes are there now? I’ve lost count.
