10 shot. shooter dead.- 2 blocks from my house.Gnash
- yikes!jaylarson
- Right outside my cousins cafe. fucking hell. Talked to him briefly, ok but shaken had to give a statement to the cops._niko
- so far, unconfirmed reports say it was a white supremacist_niko
- but he's dead...probably self inflicted i'd imagine._niko
- children shot too, fucking hell._niko
- I hang out there all the time, with my wife and kids, could have easily been us..._niko
- I was just a few blocks away from there this afternoon.i_monk
- unfortunate but probably very little you can do when it's a mentally ill man on a rampage. Tougher gun laws? we have some of the toughest on the planet I think._niko
- Wtfpango
- So crazy - hope all my Toronto QBN'ers are safe and sound.ben_
- Tragic, dude was obviously mentally ill, not sure why warning signs were missed, just hope he’s not another incel loser._niko
- from what i've read so far and the description of the victims, it seems that he was targeting (mostly) women :(_niko
- ^ he certainly looks the part.Gnash
- 50/50 men and woman victims, all you have to do is read _nikoimbecile
- wasn't updated, all i read was two females dead and others talking about how he walked up and seemed to shoot at women only. where did you read 50/50?_niko
- They’ve identified him now. Unsuprisingly, family said he’s been struggling with psychosis / mental illness for years. So hard to get mental health supportGnash
- obviously, canada needs better healthcare. (or humans just kill each other... like most all lifeforms on earth from ants to chimps)imbecile

- The Sun has nothing to say that's worth reading.i_monk
- that's true. but it's a little odd that no other source even mentions it. at least in comparison to the other truck guy.Gnash
- there was no end to the speculation about his -- albeit more politic -- motivesGnash
- Van guy's incel posting was connected to the attack within 24 hours.i_monk
- What the Sun is doing here is offering multiple anonymous sources and speculation, put in contrast with the family statement to imply they are lying.i_monk
- I don't disagree about the sun's take. I just find the complete absence curiousGnash
- Anyone that lives near the Danforth as he did (Thorncliffe is a 10 minute drive) Knows it's mostly Greek but bery multi-cultural, and cafe Demetre's though_niko
- started by Greeks, has been owned by Muslims for the past few years, I was there the night before with my wife and the place was 80-90% muslims. Cafe D's and_niko
- the Danforth in general is the last place ISIS would target to make a point of any kind. This guy was a deranged/delusional loser plain and simple._niko
- A 10 minute Drive from Thorncliffe in the other direction are the Shops of Don Mills, probably busier than the Danforth and skewing more waspy and Jewish_niko
- if this idiot was politicized or radicalized in any way that's where he'd go first._niko
- but you'd have to be a deranged lunatic and a complete moron to join or think you're part of ISIS in the first place so you never know._niko
- that's all true. I'm just commenting the the media ignoring the elephant in the room. they'll bend over backwards to find other linksGnash
- i.e. there's zero evidence that the attack was linked to gender, yet here is a Toronto Star story: https://pbs.twimg.co…Gnash
- you know that they're looking for anything, anything,, that would tie him to men, maleness, incel, etcGnash
- yeah true, i'm seeing the phrase toxic masculinity being thrown around more and more_niko
- ^ yup. in city council yesterday, Kristyn Wong-Tam, said that "we have to talk about masculinity...when we try to curb violence" in reference to the shootingGnash
- Imagine any other demographic being talked about as inherently violent.i_monk
