A man was stabbed to death in broad daylight at a Starbucks in Vancouver, Canada, reportedly in front of his wife and kids, according to Global News.

The victim, Paul Stanley Schmidt, 37, was reportedly at the coffee shop with his wife and daughter, according to his mother, when he was attacked by the suspect, 32-year-old Inderdeep Singh Gosal – an “India-origin national” (not Hindu), who was arrested at the scene and later charged with second-degree murder.

The attack took place at the corner of Granville and West Pender streets, around 5:40 p.m., after a “brief altercation,” according to police. The motive for the killing is not known, and police are asking witnesses to come forward.

“There’s a significant amount of evidence to tell us what happened. What we are focusing on now is why did this happen. What are the events that transpired in the moments leading up to this very serious crime … and that’s something that may take some time for us to fully understand,” said police spokesman Sergeant Steve Addison.

“We believe there are people likely nearby, people who witnessed it, people who were in the area who can help us to understand those questions,” Addison added.

Reports state that according to court documents posted online, this is the suspect’s first and only criminal charge.

A witness described the incident as “not something you think you would see walking down the street in Vancouver on a Sunday,” adding that the Starbucks was filled with screams after the suspect went back into the store after the stabbing.

The attack was caught on video (warning):

Police are also aware that graphic video of the stabbing has been circulating online. He asked the public to stop sharing it publicly and send any material to police.

Quick, censor this brutal video, keep everyone dumb and stupid.

I am in no way blaming the victim here. Too many good folks have the idea that they must teach the bad guy “a lesson”

Of course you're not.

In case you live in a place like CA where carrying daggers or dirks is illegal.

Sikhs are, in principle, the opposite of violent. Those who serve in the military are medics, pharmacists, etc., never in combat roles , because of their religious principles. Their “blue turbans” who serve in UN missions as pharmacists and medics are well known and loved for their kindness and generosity to local people and refugees. The Sikhs I have known are kind and generous to a fault. I knew one former Sikh, a highly intelligent and personable man, the chief electoral officer of India’s largest electoral district, who had decided he could not put with the long hair, comb, bracelet, etc., stuff any longer and shaved his head(!). But he still believed in the Sikh principles.

Sikh ahimsa (usually translated as “non-violence” but not an adequate translation):

The Sikh who stabbed that poor Canadian man did not do it because he was a Sikh, but in spite of it. Mental illness seems likely.

Who cares WHY?

All any American needs to know is one individual was armed, and one wasn't. Why this happened is because this government floods the west with foreign nationals, many of which hate America before they've ever stepped foot on our soil. They don't fit in, they don't belong. All the bull shit about diversity is Communist lies.

Just like these government sponsored open borders, which have left a massive wake of tens of thousands of American victims in it's path for 40+ years...Thousands raped, robbed, shot, murdered, ran over by illegal drunks, burglarized et al...

Until they're not.

Btw, someone should have told the victim before he died these are peaceful people, as he was bleeding out and vomiting blood and dying in front of his loved ones.

See my #46. They are peaceful and not permitted to harm any living being (human or animal), but they are permitted, even required, to use force in defense of the innocent (for example if a criminal is beating up an old lady and no other way to save the lady, duty requires a Sikh man to come to her aid by using violence, if necessary, against her attacker) or for the common good (say, against tyrannical brutal ruler) if no peaceful means will suffice. I have heard they can be fierce fighters, but never witnessed it myself.

Try reading the last line in my post.

The Sikh religion does not promote violence. Individuals can become mentally ill, or might not follow the principles of their religion. Same as Jehovah’s Witnesses, Mennonites, Amish, etc., whose principles also include nonviolence and, like Sikhs, only serve in the military in non-combat roles.

They cherish their women and allow them to be pretty. Sikhs have a large representation in the population of Northern California. They are not usually involved in crimes and they are almost never terrorists.

the suspect, 32-year-old Inderdeep Singh Gosal – an “India-origin national” (not Hindu)

Stabbed him? Well that's just Sikh!

Knives can be deadly too. And they are much much more available to posses.

Why are we suddenly seeing a spate of attacks from Khalistanis?

The simple answer is that Khalistani groups breed and foster a supremacist ideology that promotes violence as a means to an end.

Watch Jagmeet Singh & co spreading the peaceful message of supremist violence.

Update: It is now rumored the stabby guy was associated with the Kalistani movement. These are not your kind and peaceful Sikhs. Nope. They are very violent and a bunch of them are in Canada:
