It is similar to the problem Islam has - successful men get all the women...

Is this considered a successful Muslim man?

If this turns out to be what it looks like and not jihad then we had a similar spree killing like this a few years ago in Pittsburgh.

Goofball loser that couldn't get a date blamed women for his deficiencies.

Instead of getting help with his social skills or even hiring an escort he shot 5 women at a fitness club.

The AAA is a terrorist group that espouses van homicide.

There is no chance Trudeau will be eager to find a link to Islam.

Oh my gosh, you're right. It's the logical (?) step.

>> His name sounds like he is of Iranian descent <<

A big bunch of Armenians — virtually all Christians — used to live in Iran/Persia.

Some Persian Jews also have names ending in “ian” — just like the Armenians.

Anyway, most of both groups moved out long ago, many to the Los Angeles area.

Well, if we can’t get your proposal enacted into law, at least we should close the “auto show loophole” so that when you buy any kind of vehicle at a show, you must undergo an instant background check to get the thing licensed.

Ditto for private “non-show” transfers between unrelated indivicuals. The transferred vehicles must be licensed.

Those very actions should greatly reduce the number of mass murders committed by van and truck drivers.

Good question. Anti depressants seem to be linked to spree killing.
