11 people killed, more than 20 hurt after SUV rams into Vancouver street festival [View all] malaise Apr 27 OP

Troubled young man? SheltieLover Apr 27 #1

Rules do not apply malaise Apr 27 #2

Right! SheltieLover Apr 27 #3

Not too many MAGAts in Canada. Elessar Zappa Apr 27 #5

There are PLENTY enough for any given person to turn out to be one of them AZJonnie Apr 27 #7

more than there should be, barbtries Apr 27 #17

Oh, Canada has them for sure! SheltieLover Apr 27 #21

Almost certainly so, otherwise they'd be 'terrorists' or 'militants' or 'gang members' AZJonnie Apr 27 #6

No. Canada is not the USA. We do things differently here. Prejudging is bigotry and you're already proven wrong Bernardo de La Paz Apr 27 #8

As far as I know, neither of us know his politics AZJonnie Apr 27 #11

Mental illness trumps politics and don't give us any shit about maga being mentally ill. Bernardo de La Paz Apr 27 #12

You're one of my favorite posters here so I'm not going to argue further. AZJonnie Apr 27 #18

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 Bernardo de La Paz Apr 27 #19

"What is the proof this guy is not a xenophobic wingnut?" MichMan Apr 27 #33

I expressed I agreement with Sheltie that its *likely*, under this set of circumstances, that it's a white dude. AZJonnie Apr 27 #34

I claimed to know what is in the OP and that other speculation as to "almost certainly" was factless. . . . nt Bernardo de La Paz Apr 27 #35

Had you said 'you have no hard evidence' I would have immediately agreed with you, Bernardo AZJonnie Apr 27 #36

Perhaps I could have worded that better. I meant that the mental illness factor overrode any possible political factor. Bernardo de La Paz Apr 27 #37

All good. And I should've mentioned I was thinking along the lines of if someone committed a violent crime AZJonnie Apr 28 #39

Right! SheltieLover Apr 27 #22

The *speculation* we've seen based on eyewitness accounts is not a white man. I guess we'll see. LauraInLA Apr 27 #16

OK. I've not seen anything about the perp SheltieLover Apr 27 #24

Some local stuff, which I didn't really want to share as I'd guess it's premature. I did find it interesting LauraInLA Apr 27 #26

Interesting. Maybe they're busy looking for a non-English speaking immigrant to pin it on. SheltieLover Apr 27 #27

No. Canada is not the USA. We do things differently. Not perfectly but better. Bernardo de La Paz Apr 27 #31

But that didn't stop you from posting prejudgemental falsity. . . . nt Bernardo de La Paz Apr 27 #29

I must keep telling myself. The person was mentally sick...was mentally sick...mentally sick,, chouchou Apr 27 #4

Right. Magats are mentally sick as well, part of a cult. SheltieLover Apr 27 #25

No. Cult members, yes. "Mentally" is a cop-out attempt at explanation for maga. Emotionally satifying but factless. . nt Bernardo de La Paz Apr 27 #28

They should have had those streets blocked..theyve used dump trucks in the past Demovictory9 Apr 27 #9

Streets were blocked but someone started letting cars in. I think it might have been non-officials letting cars in Bernardo de La Paz Apr 27 #10

Oh... Demovictory9 Apr 27 #15

Uh, the United States had a car attack a few months ago Prairie Gates Apr 27 #13

Countries have started blockading street festivals..Canada had too Demovictory9 Apr 27 #14
