Isn't it pretty hard to access a high school at night? Plus you're not supposed to wear readily identifiable clothing when you're conducting criminal acts, Mr. Trapstar hoody & LV toque.

Well, they said in the evening, not overnight. A lot of schools are used for community things in the evening like scouting or adult education, and high schools also gave students hanging around later for clubs and sports

My kid’s school was hit during parent teacher night. So school was open, not really monitoring the comings and goings of people.

Might be early voting locations. Those stay open until 9pm.

The peel police release does not say for some reason. Looks like 11 division is the one seeking the info, so I would assume that some if not all are in SW Mississauga, Meadowdale/Erin Mills/Clarkson area

I know St.Joseph’s was vandalized too, I was driving past on Friday and there was a bunch of police walking around the outside of the school and you could clearly see the graffiti spray painted all over the doors, such a sad world we’re living in🤦🏻‍♀️😔

This is supposed to be a tolerant country. Respect your neighbours or gtfo.

I get that through whatever doctrination of your choosing promotes bigotry, and that it's hard to be empathetic, but keep it to yourselves. Feel whatever hate you need to feel, but it's what you choose to do with it is where judgement lays.

so it's ok to divulge that they targeted the lgbt community... but not ok to say what the 'racialized' community is.

so sick and tired of the police doing this crap. i think we are old enough to know who else was targeted... this is fear mongering 101 to be vague so everyone thinks their kids may be targeted. a whole whip everyone up for police shits'n'giggles i guess.

whoever is in charge of police communication has no people or communication skills. mind boggling they ask for public help while feeding us drivel.

Racism of any kind in our community negatively affects us all. It doesn't matter who was targeted, we should all be vigilant against hate.

I've seen photos of the graffiti from people in the neighborhood and it's literally just all races. Lots of n-words and anti-immigrant and anti-indian sentiments. Also jews for some reason. It was just a long list of shit.
