I ass-u-me'd this wasn't the truck of peace at first, but it's looking like this is a terrorist event by all indications.

I was in town today and listening on the radio just after it happened...the descriptions were awful.

Last I heard 5 dead and several injured.

The report also said:
Toronto police are now reporting multiple fatalities following the incident which has seen a man, described as being “Middle-Eastern” in appearance, arrested a short distance away.
Now in Canada that might mean the driver is from Manitoba.

Those cops are idiots. That guy would have been blown away if he pulled something like that in the states. Cop is just standing in the open too. He has no idea what he's doing. Thankfully the gun was fake (I assume).

I was telling my wife that here in most of the US as soon as that gun came up the police would have off'ed the guy.

As they should. Pointing a gun at police should get you killed.

Donald Trump is a stupid man's idea of a smart man, a poor man's idea of a rich man, and a weak man's idea of a strong man.

the cop in toronto is extremely lucky the guy was trying to do suicide by cop as if it was a criminal that did not want to get caught the cop would be shot.....somebody points a gun directly at you, you don't wait to find out where the bullet hits you, you defend yourself. But the driver that just murdered at least 10 people wanted to die, he did not want to get away, not a normal murderer

So today I learned what an "incel" is.

Fascinating.
