Mass shooting in Toronto

[FromMyColdDeadHand]

There are several videos out of people filming the shooting from their apartment windows. What a bunch of helpless mopes. All I can think of is how quickly one could have stopped the killing had they had a rifle and the will to use it. Even grandad's old 30-30 would have done the job.

Same thought as the people that filmed the two guys in Paris from their roof top. The 9mm, 556, 762 and slugs I’d have reigned down on them....

It is interesting that a lot of the Twitter comments from Toronto people are about the increase in gun violence. This and the recent mass shooting in Australia- the shootings in Paris; but its the guns and NRA, sure.

City has a "gun problem," but a van recently killed 10 people. Critical thinking, it's a thing Mr Mayor.

Recently previous mayor (RIP) was on video smoking crack. They get some characters over there.

So the shooter???

Every news source has something similar to this shit:

Officers confronted the suspect, who was identified only as a 29-year-old man from the Toronto area...

Reminds me of the German knife attack last week. "Attacker was a German citizen" . . . by way of Iran.

C'mon, it's customary to blame "Amish" for the various snackbar attacks.

Seriously though, I don't like those euphemisms - they are used because the speaker and intended audience know it's not that group, but over time it will come to be an association in people's minds, no matter how much the logical side of the brain would sneer at it. Most "thinking" is empirical, not logical, and if you associate two words even in humor it will start to be a belief.

Don't believe me? What do Coke and polar bears have in common?

75% of you are currently picturing anthropomorphic polar bears drinking Coke from glass bottles while basking in the starlight of a calm polar night.

It's a damn shame and my hopes and prayers go out to both the victims and the Canadian gun owners who will no doubt have to deal with the aftermath.

The mayor says "Why does anyone in this city need to have a gun at all?"

I say the answer is self evident.

So if all these elected officials knew he was a nutjob - and getting a handgun in Canadia is a bigger PITA than America... HOW did he get a handgun?!?!

That, is the $64 question, I'd like to hear the answer to, I'm guessing here, but he probably stole it..

Damn Mormons!

Yep, they just released his name. Mormon extremists strike again. When will we ever learn??

Canadian authorities identified the gunman who killed two people and injured 13 others in a lively Toronto neighborhood Sunday night as 29-year-old Faisal Hussain, whose family claimed had suffered from "severe mental health challenges."
