Name of the suspect not released? I bet it starts with Mohammed....

I guess Toronto has Amish up there too.

A well armed citizenry really is the best defense against rampant, authoritarian liberalism.

The van driver does not have a name?

Canada does not care about this. Shania said something nice about Trump. That is what is really important.

Let me guess the race and religion ... ummm ... white Amish.

[P.O.E.]

It’s a mystery /s

These poor unfortunate innocents. The fatality count increases each time the news is reported. How tragic.

"This is a time when this community should come together," Toronto Mayor John Tory said at an afternoon press conference. "I hope that we will, as a city, remind ourselves of the fact that we are admired around the world for being inclusive and for being accepting and understanding and considerate."

Tell that to the families of the victims.

In light of this senseless tragedy, I’m going to MAKE A DIFFERENCE! I will crush my 64 Chevy, it has a gas guzzling 327 cu in V8 and doesn’t even have emission controls. I demand that Congress declare all Chevy V8’s as ASSAULT ENGINES. Nobody needs a vehicle with more than 4cylinders and larger than 2 liters. Better keep my big mouth shut or they’ll get more dumb ideas.

Damned Amish

Notice the Islamic state of Canada doesn’t want to call this terrorism.

“Our thoughts are with all those affected by the terrible incident at Yonge and Finch in Toronto,” Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau tweeted. “Thank you to the first responders working at the scene – we're monitoring the situation closely.”

It wasn't a shooting, so I'm glad to know we're allowed to send our thoughts and prayers to the victims.

A facebook page for Alek Minasian (news report spelling Alek Minnasian) says he lives in Yerevan, Armenia ... and is from Allepo Syria. Trudeau let a bunch of ISIS militants from Syria in Canada.

According to an article that I just read, April 24 is commemorated yearly as the memorial day for the Armenian Genocide. Minassian sounds like an Armenian name and another post states that his Facebook page states he is from Aleppo, Syria. Under Assad, Armenians were protected but we’re attacked by ISIS/alQueda.

The picture from post 208, of the money exchange looks to have Arabic writing, is on Poyntz Ave..off of Yonge just south of Sheppard Ave., where much of the attack happened. Could this be an Arab (mohamedan) neighbourhood? The US backed the ‘rebels’, aka alQueda, fighting Assad, aka Iran and Russia, which would explain the anti-US attitude by Minassian, noted in post 169.

Some speculation here. Is it possible that a young Armenian who perhaps lost family in Aleppo, to ISIS (aka American proxies in Syria), decided to avenge his losses of family on the commemoration day (day before) of the Armenian Genocide, against mohamedans, the religion of those who committed the genocide and hurt him?
