OP
Almost certainly so, otherwise they'd be 'terrorists' or 'militants' or 'gang members'

No. Canada is not the USA. We do things differently here. Prejudging is bigotry and you're already proven wrong

Mental illness trumps politics and don't give us any shit about maga being mentally ill.

Thank you, it is kind of you to say so. I have no animus, I just call 'em as I see 'em. Be of good cheer. . . nt

I expressed I agreement with Sheltie that its *likely*, under this set of circumstances, that it's a white dude.

I claimed to know what is in the OP and that other speculation as to "almost certainly" was factless. . . . nt

Perhaps I could have worded that better. I meant that the mental illness factor overrode any possible political factor.

All good. And I should've mentioned I was thinking along the lines of if someone committed a violent crime

The *speculation* we've seen based on eyewitness accounts is not a white man. I guess we'll see.

Some local stuff, which I didn't really want to share as I'd guess it's premature. I did find it interesting

Interesting. Maybe they're busy looking for a non-English speaking immigrant to pin it on.

No. Canada is not the USA. We do things differently. Not perfectly but better.

No. Cult members, yes. "Mentally" is a cop-out attempt at explanation for maga. Emotionally satifying but factless. . nt

Streets were blocked but someone started letting cars in. I think it might have been non-officials letting cars in
