It is a mug brimming with joy and youthful exuberance. The snippet from the Facebook page of Randall McKenzie, 25, is in stark contrast to the hardened face glaring back at the world in nearly every photo from his late teens onwards.
And now, he has turned from a happy skater kid to an accused cop killer. According to cops, on Tuesday just after 2:30 p.m., rookie OPP Const. Grzegorz “Greg” Pierzchala, 28, was shot while responding to a vehicle in a ditch west of Hagersville. He later died in hospital.
He had only been a police officer for about a year, and that career was a long-cherished dream. A dream that died Tuesday afternoon. His accused killer is Randall McKenzie who was later captured and taken to a hospital in Brantford. A 30-year-old woman, Brandi Crystal Lyn Stewart-Sperry, of Hamilton, was also arrested. Each faces a charge of first-degree murder.
Outside the hospital late Tuesday, a coterie of the accused killer’s family and supporters screeched at reporters. For his part, McKenzie seemingly told one “f— you goof.”
The nature of his injuries is unknown. The suspect was a cute kid. A lot of girls said so on Facebook. And then there was that smile and his ever-present “Kush” T-shirt.
But in his late teens, growing up in Hamilton, that started to change. It looks like a baby boy suddenly appeared in the picture, and his face is stiff and broody.
Three years removed from the smiling skater boy, photos of stacks of cash begin to emerge on his timeline. And then gold-wrapped blunts and the dollar sign tattooed on his finger.
Also appearing are lame gangster maxims. An arch-capitalist philosophy that is soaked in the nihilism of the streets. It has no past, no future, it lives only in the present.
On March 27, 2017, he posted: “Out here alone. No one except me and my hustle and myself. Don’t get too close to them; they'll hurt you.” And later that same year — alongside a stack of cash — he told a pal: “Dog. I’m richer than you think. Call me Scotia.”
Then, there are no new updates for a while because he says he’s in prison and is seen in a photo posing with his pals. Elsewhere on the page, he mentions #IndianMafia.
Multiple police sources told The Toronto Sun’s Joe Warmington that McKenzie was a wanted man for failing to show up in court to face gun-related charges from 2021.
Why was he out on bail? “This just seems to show the flaws in the judicial system and the revolving door,” one detective told me Wednesday. “We may not want to warehouse people, but sometimes you need to protect society as a whole.”
Eventually, the Facebook photos featured a handgun and more stacks of cash. That smiling kid skateboarding near Jackson Square in downtown Hamilton appears to be lost.
Knowing what we know now, it appears the clock was ticking towards something terrible even in those innocent photos. None of the charges have been proven in court.
OPP Const. Grzegorz “Greg” Pierzchala was on a different path. A wrestling stalwart at York University, a pillar of his Barrie community and with a desperate desire to do something positive with his life.
At this point in time, it doesn’t appear the rookie cop and McKenzie have anything in common. Then, you look at the smiling photos of the kid skateboarding, and you’re stunned to realize that maybe once upon a time, they did.

I drew this animation for VICE News Tonight on HBO that aired Wednesday. Recently, undocumented immigrants have been getting notices to appear in court with faulty dates and times on them. This allows ICE to avoid a “stop-time rule,” where not including any date would give immigrants more time to remain in the US. Today, many people will be lining up to appear in courts across the country, only to arrive and see that tee dates were imaginary and the courts are not expecting them.
Absolutely amazing motion by Kris Cave.

THE ROBO SHOW
MECHS & MOBILE SUITS
Opening February 12th 7-10pm
Reception at Light Grey Art Lab
"Black smoke belches from the exhaust pipes beneath greasy armored plates. Steam courses through the cylinders and the 22 pistons jerk frantically back and forth, propelling your huge mass forward down the damp cobblestone streets. Frightened eyes peek from behind sooty curtains -- the unmistakable clanging of steel can be heard from a mile away in the still night. . ."
Join us for the opening reception of the ROBO SHOW, February 12th from 7-10pm. This upcoming exhibition calls 70 artists to create original designs, mech allies, mobile suits, prosthetics, flying machines, bionics, war ships, and vessels - the ROBO SHOW celebrates real and imagined technology, and the mad genius behind the machines we would love to pilot.
The contributing artists have taken on the role of illustrative engineers. The work featured may be inspired by a range --WWI machinery, science fiction vehicles, fantastical objects, space crafts, and artillery - these mobile suits belong in distant lands, futuristic planets, and foregone cities.
The opening reception is free and open to the public. The exhibition will be on display through the end of March, and limited edition prints available on the Light Grey Shop throughout the show.
Artists Include: Alex Dos Diaz, Adam Hoppus, Alyssa Winans, Ameorry Luo, Andrew Kolb, Andy Bennett, Angela An, Ashley Mackenzie, Boya Sun, Brett Martin, Bridget Underwood, Chris Kindred, Chris Schons, Ciel Bahena, Colin Foran, Dacosta, Darla Okada, Ed Skudder, Eli Minaya, Emory Allen, Evan Palmer, Iain Matthiae, Isuri Merenchi Hewage, Jason Holt, Jasu Hu, Jesse Lindhorst, Jesse Riggle, Jessica TC Lee, Joe Maccarone, John DeLucca, John Lee, Jon Marchione, Jorge De la Paz, Junyi Wu, Justin Oaksford, Karina Rehrbehn, Kate O'Hara, Lara Paulussen, Leonard Peng, Linda Yan, Liz Parlett, Liz Pulido, Louie Zong, Maggie Chiang, Marisa Seguin, Martin Gee, Michael Janzen, Nicholas Bono Kennedy, Nicole Miles, Paul Reinwand, Phoenix Chan, Pierre Kleinhouse, Primary Hughes, Priscilla Boatwright, Rafael Mayani, Ricardo Bessa, Richie Pope, Rodrigo Avilés, Rory Phillips, Sander B, Shawn Pedralba, Sherif Habashi, TyRuben Ellingson, Vaughan Ling, and Vero Navarro.

Knowing my focus was now on gif production I looked at a selection of animators who make quick looping gifs. I adore Maccarones work simply because so much happens in so little frames. The chaotic movement of the character forces your attention, and the fast-paced run time makes you watch it over and over. His work will influence me to take more notice of the number of frames I'm using. More frames don’t automatically mean a higher quality of animation, it’s what’s most appropriate for the story I’m telling.
