Newly Released Video Shows Toronto Mayor on Murder Rant 
--------------------------------------------------------


 
The Toronto Star has released a new video of embattled Toronto Mayor Rob
Ford engaging in a profanity-laced tirade about how he wants to murder
an unidentified person.

Rob Ford : "He dies or I die, brother. (Inaudible). Brother, you better
see me f—ing go to (inaudible). When he's down, I'll rip his
f—ing throat out. I'll poke his eyes out. I will —-
f—-k, when he's dead, I'll make sure that motherf—er's dead.
I need f—-ing 10 minutes to make sure he's dead. It'll be over in
five minutes, brother. Ten minutes (inaudible). Brother, it will be a
bad (inaudible). I'm a sick motherf—er, dude."

Ford, the mayor of Canada's largest city, has faced months of
controversy following reports of another video showing him smoking from
a crack pipe and making bigoted remarks. Ford apologized for the latest
video, saying he was "extremely inebriated." He is facing increasing
calls to resign.
