Toronto Van Attack

[IndySteel]

Someone used a rental van to mow down Canadians today.

I'm betting that his name is not John Smith. Where is the call to ban rental vans? If rental vans are outlawed, only outlaws will have rental vans.

$100 the guy was screaming about a snack bar when he did this.

Flogolodyte will be along very soon to tell us that MOST Muslims are peaceful loving people but all people who live in trailers are violent, AR-15 toting vermin.

Just wait.

I was going to make a Boston Bruins funny, but way too soon. A damn shame that this happened. Your head has to be on a swivel, no matter where you go these days.

Kinda looks like Supe?!

I'm here in Florida. Wasn't me.
Could have been a triggered ogre, though.

****** should have been shot. looks like that's what he was trying for.

 

[Ironcitysteelers]

******* vans. When will we learn.

Watching that video, I'm confused. Was he shooting at a cop literally 15 feet away? Why wasn't he drilled right between the eyes? And then there's a brief moment where view is obscured and then you see the cop on top of him.

In any case, very sad situation.

Reaction from TibsTardLodyte and Liberals everywhere. "It was a White Guy!!!!!!!!!!! Bet he was a Christian too!!!!"

Muslims invented running over people with trucks now everyone wants to do it.

Time to ban fully automatic, high capacity vans. They are evil with minds of their own.

Reaction from the SN peanut gallery:

So you're saying there are no white Muslims? Racist.

 

[Stryker]

Seriously? 10 people die, and the left and right are tallying score cards, and mocking each other?

The reason why our country sucks, is bipartisan politics.

 

[Confluence]

****** up young Canadians have a long history of driving vans down sidewalks to kill people to satisfy their personal esteem issues.

Not.

He ran down a stroller?

Holy ****.

Justin needs to hang this piece of **** at Mel Lastman Square tomorrow.

Couldn't agree more with this. Our 2-party system that's been impotent on anything WE actually pay for has been a disgrace for far too long.

Toronto Police Chief Mark Saunders confirmed Monday night that the suspect is 25-year-old Alek Minassian.

Um, he may look white, but that name sounds middle eastern. Sorry to disappoint, Tibs.

You're a disgrace as well. No explanation needed.

I am saddened by this event and my thoughts and condolences are with the victims and their families. My post was simply pointing out the common occurrence on the board with terrorist attacks. Those carried out by Muslims and other non-whites are highlighted and the volume cranked up substantially. Those by non-Muslims, meh, not so much. They're mostly ignored or swept under the rug. The hypocrisy and double standard is palpable. It is what it is.

But your point is valid and well taken. In hindsight, I can see how my post can be viewed as grandstanding and in bad taste. I apologize for that.

I think it is curious that they haven't released a motive yet. Is it possible that authorities don't want to tip off his crew before rounding them up. Pure speculation.

Absolutely right. There's no reason anyone needs anything larger than a minivan.
