Yeah but, those poor foreigners lost their doggie. The police showed compassion by not following up on the threats.
People were asking, what actually happened?
I saw some video on news, it looked to me like he was going through a sort of “get my courage up” mock preparation in a lobby, firing at no actual targets, then was confronted by armed police and surrendered.
Luckily for the Edmonton city council, he didn’t seem to have the commitment to end result required to burst into their chamber and start shooting them.
As people have commented, news coverage did not stress any muslim or Gaza-protest theme, just making it sound like a mentally disturbed person had been acting strangely with a gun. I suppose the two things are not entirely incompatible.
