People were throwing around the term "terrorist attack" pretty freely. I was trying to tell them to stop making accusations until we know more, ie maybe the driver had a heart attack or a seizure. However:
- Rental van used (indications it was premeditated)
- Driver had a gun (so I'm told)
- Driver fled on foot

I didn't watch the video with volume, nor did I zoom in. It looked like he was pointing a gun to the cop, I'm guessing there was nothing in his hands?

Yea the lastname suggests Armenian (ending in "ian") however most Armenians are Orthodox and are quite the opposite of their often associated Muslim neighbors. Having said that, many Iranians and Armenians are mixed going back generations. Thanks to the great cop and his actions/restraint perhaps we'll get some insight into the motive.

regardless this APPEARS to be just a sad emo loser who was mad at life/girls with a mental disability. of course the fucking parents prob didn't acknowledge such issues and he had free run of the internet which only fed his issues. of course he researched how to carry out such attacks by reading online and prob seeing the shit on tv (thanks media, as usual). now innocent ppl are gone for NOTHING. it's maddening and saddening.

There's unconfirmed reports/findings that the guy has Aspberger's etc... Socially-awkward, but good at programming etc...
Also unconfirmed reports he praised some previous dude that did similar things, etc... Something about 'incels' and shit... (involuntarily celibate etc...)

while i want to agree, i think it's also for people with friends and family in different parts of the country/world that doesn't know much about Toronto.
sure, you know that Yonge & Finch is no where near where they would normally hang out, but to their relatives, it might as well be next door.

HOLY FUCK .... Isn't this a fucking BREACH OF PRIVACY? (of the murderer's mom?)
Context: reporters combing through his resume, reaches out to a company about his previous employment, and this is how they respond.

In July and August 2010, Minassian’s resumé said he worked in the accounts payable department of Compugen, a Richmond Hill company, where he “sorted and filed invoices” and “shredded documents.”

Things could've been A LOT worse. 10pm on a Sunday isn't overly busy on the Danforth in comparison to other times throughout the week. I'm sure this will not only impact the security for Taste of the Danforth but also the attendance. What is this world coming to?

The danforth shooting hit close to home, the family is related to my wife's side. Gut wrenching forme, they live a few streets up from us and everyday I drive by the girl's school I see the pile of flowers growing.
Grew up on the Danforth too so still lots of connections, friend's parents own the resto right next to Demetre's when the guy opened fire. Friend's dad is still mentally fucked up, he had to hide a bunch of people inside.
Must've missed the anti muslim thing as I was there on Friday, place felt spooky as fuck. All music was off from broadview to pape, felt eerie despite it being packed.
