Nope. Because it doesn’t fit the narrative. Had he used a firearm, it would have been all over the news.

I was skimming articles on this guy and each one studiously avoids the question of whether he was a muslim.

From the article:

“Former classmates described him as socially withdrawn, but not particularly prone to violence when they knew him.”

Oh, it’s ok. It’s not like he was “particularly” prone to violence.

Probably only “lone wolf” “isolated” events (like this one)

Big Media propagandizes EVERY word.

Armenian last name. And where I'm from, they pronounce it Min-naze-ee-an.

There’s a difference between being Alleged and Accused which you properly observed and beat me to it.

So the guy was sexually frustrated and couldn’t even afford a hooker to un-incel himself?

More likely because he's not a white Christian.

If he is a Christian the media and the Canadian government would be celebrating that fact. They aren't and that suggests a Muslim.
