Some 40 years after their first try, the Guardian Angels are being lobbied to ride back into crime\u002Dridden Toronto again.
When you see TTC stabbings, or the woman being pushed down TTC stairs over a purse, or bus drivers or passengers being shot with a BB gun, or riders shoved on to the subway track, it’s hard to imagine how more eyes wouldn’t help.
On a potential Toronto comeback, the radio host and Republican candidate for New York mayor last year said if they can find people extremely committed, he’s willing to try again. It’s been tried here before. First in 1983, then in 1992, and again in 2006. Each time unsuccessfully. “I remember Mel wouldn’t meet with the Guardian Angels but shook hands with the Hell’s Angels,” Sliwa said laughing. “We have always had political pushback. We get called a vigilante group but we have never been that. We work well with police and the public love us.”
