Toronto van attack: Suspect quizzed after 10 pedestrians killed

[editor]

Another dreadful piece of pointless carnage.

Canadian police are questioning a man suspected of driving a rented van into pedestrians in northern Toronto on Monday, killing 10 and injuring 15.

Alek Minassian, 25, was not previously known to authorities, police said, adding that the incident appeared deliberate but no motive was clear.

Here's the no-mark cunt responsible.

No police brutality here

On the Toronto murders (April 2018)

Video from the scene shows suspect Alek Minassian pointing an object at the officer and shouting: "Kill me!"

The officer tells the man to "get down" and when the suspect says he has a gun, the officer repeats: "I don't care. Get down."

Minassian is then seen lying down and the officer arrests him.

Many in North America are asking how the suspect did not end up dead in a hail of police gunfire. It contrasts with incidents in the US where police have shot and killed unarmed people.

One US-based academic told the BBC that the officer would have had a "duty" to kill the suspect, if the object he was pointing was a gun.

How is Toronto attack suspect not dead?

Weird how the rental van has become the terrorist's (or other "cause a lot of carnage in a hurry" folks) weapon-of-choice in the last year or so.

Now deleted, but confirmed by facebook as genuine:

The Incel Rebellion has already begun! We will overthrow all the Chads and Stacys! All hail the Supreme Gentleman Elliot Rodger!

Incel = Involuntry Celibate. A self-defined social class of "forever alone beta males". Deeply misogynistic mens-rights types. Google and fall down the rabbit hole at your peril
Chad and Stacy = The Incel's enemies. The succesful, attractive men and women of the world, whose plan is to deny the Incels their right to sex.
Elliot Roger = 2014 Isla Vista killings - Wikipedia

Alek Minassian has Aspergers.

Well, it does appear that at least the Toronto Police were serious when they claimed they would learn from their mistakes and change. This is the police force that was called to deal with a teenager with a switchblade on a tram that had been emptied except for said teenager and managed to shoot him within a minute of arriving on site.

Not sure if this idiot's apparent motivation makes the attack more, less, or equally horrifying - I had been wondering what kind of ideology would inspire somebody to attack around Yonge and Finch, if you drive a van along the sidewalk there you are liable to hit 10 people from 10 countries who belong to 10 different religions, sounds like he just hated everybody.

Back in my day, it was all hijacking airplanes.

I wonder what part the growth of social media plays in all this.

It does seem that social media is causing more people to become isolated from society.

What are their plights and why do they need to draw attention to them?

 

[bimble]

That they’re not getting any sex. Or ‘companionship’ as one put it.

Have they tried not being really bitter and unpleasant people that no woman in her right mind would want to be around?

They might want to work on their social skills.

Have they tried treating women as if they're actual human beings with their own minds and feelings, instead of as repositories for their dick?

 

[bimble]

Pretty disturbing tbh (that forum). Not sure whether to post screenshots, it kind of just what you’d expect but these people are so far gone can’t see any way things would get better for them.

I'm confused - what does this have to do with the van attack?

they are so deluded and far gone they think they're an army with a cause and the world WILL LISTEN

All I'm seeing is some guy with a mental issue loosing control and running people over.

Cheers. I love the forums. They have one for "Ban Appeals" with threads titled Unban me right fucking now, and Unban me or you're ghey

When I heard the first report that he had driven along Yonge Street, I thought there would be a much higher casualty list. Dreadful as it is it could have been much worse.
But Yonge Street is 56 kilometres long.

Whoa! There's some fucking sick shit on there. Someone posted a vid of a bloke beating the crap out of his daughter and other posters are getting off on it. Fucking hell.
