drdeath Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 This is terrible to see happen. The suicide by cop attempts using a cell phone kind of hint mental health issues but we’ll have to see what comes from the investigation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THERETOOL Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 this is not only heartbreaking for the families of these victims but it also gives right wing nut jobs a greater platform to spew their hate .. the world is at war with itself If it does end up being proven as an act of religious violence and turns out to be a muslim thing .. it will be time for the good people in the muslim community to take action .. not by simply denouncing the act but by taking an active role in their mosques to turn any and all information of any muslim they feel has been radicalized Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugor Hill Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 The area is a combination of general business, commercial, residential and Korean business / cultural area. As today is a sunny warmish day and it took place during lunch hour, there must've been quite a few people on the streets in the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They intend to hurt harm, scare or generally terrorize people. It's sad that so many people are so divided that religion and skin colour now plays an important part of what they consider criminal. As of now there are 9 dead and I believe 12 to 16 injured (or 16 total hit) and every single time I look at that story I keep seeing the same comments. It's incredibly sad ...and if that is your definition, I totally respect that. It just happens not to be my own, but there is no doubt an attack like this is designed to strike fear and kill as many as possible, so like I said you probably have more ammunition to state your case that this is was a terrorist attack. That's a whole lot of people involved. RIP to those killed and for what it's worth (which isn't much), my thoughts are with those injured. No prayers though... I'm not religious....

I guess I just always get my back up when people jump on stories like these. It's a failing of mine For what it's worth here is a twitter link to the cops arresting an or the alleged suspect https://twitter.com/FTV_Huazhang/status/988481213089435654 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a positive imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
