Van Terror In Toronto...

[mossrose]

Fixed that for you.

From the information available at this stage, both the Toronto terrorist and the Waffle House shooter were white Christian right-wingers who had a history of mental issues.

Link please, to where it says the van driver is a Christian.

Even if you can provide a link, as CP says, his behaviour is anything but Christian.

If a Muslim did the same would you say the behavior was "anything but Muslim" given the world's 1 billion other Muslims weren't doing likewise?

Here's an article, but you should really learn to use google rather than getting me to do your research for you. It's a good life skill.

That article speculates on a possible motive:
"His attack was done in a predominantly Iranian part of Toronto and comes on the anniversary of the Armenian genocide. [He was Armenian]"
However, at this stage speculative motives should probably be taken with a grain of salt as the truth often doesn't come out until loooooong afterwards. (e.g. we didn't learn the truth about the Pulse Night Club shooting until the court case last month concluded, and we found out that almost all the speculation had been wrong)

Thanks for the link. He's no more a Christian than you were.

Not if he was yelling "Allahu Akbar", because he'd obviously doing it BECAUSE of his belief, not in spite of it. That's the kind of thing you just don't get.

I'd say you're neither Christian nor Canadian. Canadians are polite, Christians are loving. Whereas you're just a nasty person.

Don't much care what you think of me. You should care what God thinks about you, though. He is much more judgmental than I.

Considering the source, that's probably one of the best compliments a Christian could get.

Doesn't surprise me. Psychopaths don't tend to care about other people or what other people think.

He is much more judgmental than I.

I would think that's near to impossible.

Guess you better hope he doesn't judge at all based on character or actions, otherwise it would be straight to hell, do not pass Go, for you.

You're so funny.

So his being Armenian and the anniversary of the Armenian Genocide, the start of which is generally regarded as being on April 24th, triggered him into attacking a predominantly Iranian part of the city.

So aside from mixing up his days he attacked Iranians rather than Turks, the group responsible for the 2 year long genocide.

Sounds like this was something he was deeply into.

Actually, God is not.

Here it is!!!!

Former classmates say Mr Minassian was in a special needs programme at Thornlea Secondary School, and "wasn't a social person".

Shereen Chami told Reuters he would walk around the school, head down, hands clasped, making meowing noises. He was not, however, violent. "From what I remember he was absolutely harmless," Ms Chami said.

"I'm not sure if he had any very, very close friends, at least publicly," Ari Bluff told Canadian broadcaster CBC, describing him as "sort of in the background".

He was a CAT-lic!

SL could play that one perfectly, I'm sure, regardless. After all, he is smarter than anyone else here, and we are lucky to have him.

How do I amen SL's amen of this post?

Mossy doesn't understand sarcastic amens, she thinks they're all meant in earnest. So your sarcastic amen of my sarcastic amen isn't allowed.
