The best thing we can do is listen to him and learn his motivations and see what the government and we as a society can do to not inadvertently assist in radicalizing more people like him.

taxi Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Now I'm hearing reports that the perpetrator was part of some "involuntary celibate" group and this was an Elliott Rodger type scenario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HerrDrFunk Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 @canuktravella You've bitched about cops having too much power because of speeding tickets you've gotten.....but then also want police to summarily execute people as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your doubts are not good enough to justify interfering with an investigation that may save many lives. I agree less nut jobs walking around is a good thing. What if this guy has 3 nut job buddies just like him? Wouldn't it be nice to know that and stop them before they do nut job things? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhippy Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 CBC News has confirmed that Alek Minassian, a 25-year-old Richmond Hill, Ont., man, is the alleged driver in the attack. His LinkedIn profile identifies him as a student at Seneca College. Government officials briefed on the investigation so far say the suspect is not associated with any organized terrorist group and he does not represent a larger threat to national security. Christian Armenian name and ancestry apparently. Now to watch people state that somehow someway it's not a terrorist issue or an attack by a christian because he's not practicing or some such tripe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As per the most prevalent definition terrorism only refers to acts of violence committed to further political aims. A guy like Paddock isn't considered to be a terrorist under this definition which I disagree with. In any case I advocate that people use the word as they see fit rather than stick with the "official" definition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COMMENTS from people who made the same predominantly right wing characteristic statements after tattacks like this. Reading is important, dissemination of said reading is even more so Lol, evidently I mistook the context of the live feed you were watching. I read that as you were watching news coverage feed online or something, and were commenting on that. Made a bit of an assumption on my part. I've been worked up the last few days due to mindless left wing SJW BS that sometimes my brain doesn't context switch quickly enough and I type before I think! The extreme right will very often weaponize identity politics, but the extreme left uses it as their entire view of the world at large which shapes their very belief structures like some sort of cultist ideological proclivity is at work. That's neither here nor there, this is in fact a tragedy and anyone affected should be respected without question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The news pushes a specific bias without question depending on what you watch. But by and large I was pleased with the initial coverage and almost shocked by the vitriol and open bigotry in the comments in the live feed Left/Right extreme is extreme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
