A 20-year-old Canadian man has been charged with four counts of first-degree murder and one of attempted murder after driving his pickup truck into a Muslim family in what police described as “a premeditated attack”.

Two women, aged 74 and 44, a 46-year-old man and a 15-year-old girl – a grandmother, mother, father and their teenage daughter – were killed on Sunday night when Nathaniel Veltman ploughed his black pickup truck into a group of pedestrians in the city of London, Ontario, police said.

The lone survivor, a nine-year-old boy, remains in hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries. The victims’ family has requested the names not be released.

The London police service chief, Steve Williams, said on Monday that investigators “believe this was an intentional act” and that “the victims of this horrific incident were targeted because of their Islamic faith”.

If the truck was white, would he be called a white supremacist?

If the perp were a Mooslim and the victims were Christian we would never know the perp’s motive.

Canada will now move to ban cars and trucks.

He wouldn't have been able to do that with an EV truck.

It would have still been plugged in, charging...

Yes, Canada is a screwed up place, but if this is murder, it’s murder, and it’s a stunningly heinous crime. A little boy left with no family. Sickening. Race has nothing to do with it. Politics has nothing to do with it. If this is what it looks like, if that’s what is found in court, this bastard deserves a slow, painful death, and we should cheer it on.

How do you know this wasn’t someone pushed to do this to garner public sympathy etc?

This is not the type of thing that ever happens here, and yet here it is.

After working enough years for Ottawa, I tend to not trust reports fresh out.

If the perp were a Mooslim and the victims were Christian we would never know the perp’s motive.

More likely, if the roles were reversed, we would have never heard about the whole incident, in the first place.

Canadians always say “this is not the type of thing that happens here” precisely because of your state-run CBC thought control mechanism with its head so far up its self-righteous anti-American ass that when you DO have serial killers and mass murderers you blame “American cultural influence.”

Canada’s refugee-centered immigration policy has turned even your rural areas into little Baghdads. If a murderer is “pushed to do this” he’s still a murderer. A Canadian one.

And Canada will blame Trump, because they don’t have the balls to admit they are, increasingly, a commie wasteland run by a halfwit whose only successful big businesses are heavily subsidized and whose cops can roam the streets arresting people at will for not wearing masks, while handing out free needles to heroin addled TB and AIDS patients.

You’re lucky you have a Florida to run to with your precious health cards, and you’re lucky we let you slap that idiotic maple leaf sticker on the High-School Shop Class piece of shit appendage on our Space Shuttle you so proudly call the “CanadArm” as you weep into your overrated beer about your Avro Aero.

Not every single Muslim is a hateful radical, out for western lives. I don’t believe that. I’ve learned to brake-check my defensive reflexes started on 9/11. It took a few years to learn not to immediately generalize all of them.

It was wrong for him to murder these people he probably didn’t even know.
We can’t just paint with a broad, bloody brush as jihadists like to do.

Canada is a commie crap hole, I already knew that as anyone with a lick of sense knows.

I wouldn’t know what the cbc says, I don’t watch any of it, nor do I blame the US for anything. The only thing I’ve done with the US is put my life in harm’s way for them.

As for the rest, you’re spouting a lot of nonsense and perhaps you’re harbouring some resentment for something.

If you go to Alaska, hopefully you’ll run into me off of HWY 43 in northern Alberta. The Americans I run into have a good time.

I had to take home an 82nd airborne sgt I found on the hwy on his way to NC, his wife and son had flown ahead but he had to drive his personal vehicle down. I took him home and fed him and looked at the map with him and showed him where to go, how to go around Chicago etc.

What do you do besides complain about lousy Canadians?

I’m not Canadian by the way, I’m Albertan.

But, if the muzzies had blown themselves up killing a white family, just a cultural thing?

And we would have been assured it wasn’t terrorism.

Funny how the media ends their reporting with
“investigators are searching for a motive” Oh, perp is white? motive has already been established before the incident!
