Explosion in downtown Toronto - One dead (explosives strapped to the suspect)

This is a case of a private grievance and not an act of terrorism.

Every single person can be forced to fight back, when they feel cornered and no longer have any options.

It will be interesting to learn what this poor man was fighting back against. Until then, we can only guess today.

[Slings and Arrows]

I doubt that it was Buddhists.

It's those bloodthirsty Unitarians again.

This is sickening. I pray there won't be copycats.

[TeleStraightShooter]

As opposed to what, a non-homicide bomber?

IMHO the term MurderSuicide bomber is more apt.

It appears this was a true suicide bomber....

"A man died Sunday after an explosion in the washroom of a Tim Hortons doughnut shop in downtown Toronto, police said."

Whether he was a Muslim or not, he took out the washroom of a doughnut shop. Be interesting to see whether or not tests prove a REALLY big f**t can detonate explosives.

Maybe or, he might have needed to use the bathroom first and accidently triggered it.

The southern border terrorist merely want to steal our treasury. They don't need no stinkin' bombs.

[SandRat]

hmmmmmm,.... think the Candian's just got this message?>

Note to homicide bomber: Do not release trigger to use two hands to pull up your fly.

Might have been putting on the vest when it went off. He may have wanted to go into the restaurant.

[Smokin' Joe]

He might have been rigging the deevice and left the wrong switch closed (like a deadman switch, and using both hands to connect the wires to a power source). Oops.

[Huck]

"Homicide bomber" has got to be the most retarded label ever invented. It's so idiotic I can't frigging stand it. It's redundant, since, duh, bombers intend to kill, and meanwhile, it fails to describe the fact that the bomber carried the bomb and blew himself up. "Suicide bomber" is a perfectly descriptive phrase. It tell you it was a bomber, which, duh, we understand is someone intent on killing, and it tells us that the method was fanatical self-destruction. Fox News makes fools of themselves every time they use this contrived, meaningless, emotional, retarded term. Thanks.

Ever notice that when anti-American rioters go looking for symbols of American business to attack, they almost always attack a McDonald's?

Tim Horton's has become as big a symbol to Canadians, probably more so than McDonald's is to Americans and of America.

If this is a terrorist attack, it would show a certain sophistication and knowledge of Canadian habits.

If you're not safe at Tim Horton's, where are you safe?

It fits the pattern of "premature virgination"
