UPDATE: 9 dead in Toronto, authorities confirm it was a terrorist attack.
Five people were killed earlier on Monday in Toronto after they were intentionally hit by a white van in what seems to be a standard (part and parcel of living in a big city, to quote from the classics) terrorist attack. The van started mowing pedestrians at the intersection of Yonge Street and Finch, a very busy area of Toronto, in the early afternoon. The driver was arrested at the scene after a short confrontation with the police and hes currently in custody. Early police reports put the number of casualties at 5, together with multiple people injured, some in critical condition. According to witnesses, the white van was traveling at 45 miles per hour when the driver intentionally started crumbling up people on the sidewalk.

We must have comprehensive truck control NOW!!!

Truck
It was a rental truck from Ryder.
How unfortunate. Ryder was the choice McVeigh used in the OKC bombing. Now this.
Prayers for the victims.
and who is the guy
I haven't seen a Ryder truck in years. I didn't know they were still around.
They’ll send the terrorist a “Sorry You’re Upset” card.

Amish no doubt. /S
Scores injured? That means the number of injured (not including dead) was greater than 40 people.
The largest number I saw reported was 19 injured.....
Do they not teach in journalism school that a score = 20?
So scores would have to be a number greater than 40....
Meanwhile, Maccron is in town to shill for the Iran nuke deal. Perp’s got great timing.
WOW! Who knew that vans attack? AI?
Just checked various Canadian media outlets. So far I have yet to find one reporting the terror tie.
Ive lived most of my life here. Cannot say anything has happened before like this. I have walked the sidewalks where this occurred as part of my work but I was no where near it today. Terrorism has infected much of the western world and this is just another incident in a very long line now. Its hard not to be pessimistic about how the western world is dealing with Islam and terrorism. We will go through the motions of usual rituals and move on as if nothing happened after the news cycle ends.
From 6 minutes ago. States cops haven’t released a motive.
They wont release his identity until they have scrubbed his social media foot print .
Is there a Facebook filter yet? A #standwithToronto hashtag?
