Immigration: Magnificent Presence

Rsquo Dept: It was Friday, Feb. 13, 2009, according to Globe And Mail. It was the day after Jacob’s 15th birthday; having been foiled at playing paintball – the lineups were too long – the boys were heading to Jacob’s house to celebrate and what they caught, respectively, were pieces of an incident terrifying in its randomness and which but for one man’s prudence and one boy’s magnificent presence of mind, would have been fatal in its consequences. At 16.33.32 by the TTC clock, or about 4:30 p.m. in the afternoon rush, Jacob Greenspon and four friends, on a day off from Northern Secondary School, were caught by a camera going through the turnstile at the Dufferin subway station. As reported in the news.
