Here's what one anti-cop activist said after going through a police training exercise:
Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd
But I'd rather be a fool in the eyes of man
Than a fool in the eyes of God

Since this happened 15 minutes from where i live, I figured I should report in and also clear some of the BS being spread
Originally posted by Starlight View PostFixed that for you.
From the information available at this stage, both the Toronto terrorist and the Waffle House shooter were white Christian right-wingers who had a history of mental issues.

Here's an article, but you should really learn to use google rather than getting me to do your research for you. It's a good life skill.
That article speculates on a possible motive:
"His attack was done in a predominantly Iranian part of Toronto and comes on the anniversary of the Armenian genocide. [He was Armenian]"
However, at this stage speculative motives should probably be taken with a grain of salt as the truth often doesn't come out until loooooong afterwards. (e.g. we didn't learn the truth about the Pulse Night Club shooting until the court case last month concluded, and we found out that almost all the speculation had been wrong)

Incels are overwhelmingly atheist, like you. White spree killers in general are mostly atheists, like you.
Guilt by association!

Never heard of incels until this story came out. Short for involuntarily celibate. Pathetic men who group together online to complain that women won't sleep with them. This is now two attacks from this group, can we treat them as a terrorist organisation yet?

Considering that Christians believe sex outside of marriage is a sin, I would doubt that any would be joining a group complaining they can't get any women to sleep with them.
And yeah they do sound pathetic.

Originally posted by Tassman View PostThat's not what I'm saying at all as I'm sure you are aware.

This is NOT the situation one sees in Canada is the point I'm making, or for that matter in Australia, where guns are very much a last resort of the police.
It is interesting that you make a joke of racism, when clearly racism is a motivating force in the US.
This was all brought up previously back when the rioting in Ferguson was going on.

And the Washington Times recently ran this:
Wrt the last statistic, a recent study that a black person living in Chicago has an 1.13 in 1000 chance of being shot. Period. Funny how groups like Black Lives Matter and liberal politicians aren't up in arms (no pun intended) about this. But then they can't blame whites, or the police or give their typical knee jerk reaction of demanding stricter gun control since Chicago already has some of the toughest gun laws in the country.

I have personally witnessed someone shot multiple times in the center of the chest with high caliber rounds piercing the heart, continue stumbling forward, emptying the magazine in his own weapon before collapsing and dying.
I have a cousin who was shot and wounded while in Vietnam (the round penetrated his helmet but fortunately only grazed his skull requiring a couple dozen stitches) from someone who was shot multiple times by multiple soldiers, collapsed in a heap and presumed dead.
Police are trained not to draw their weapon unless lethal force is warranted. And if they have to shoot, they are trained to make sure that the target is completely nullified so that they no longer pose any risk to either the officer or anyone else. This is the reason (along with massive rushes of adrenaline) that police often empty their weapon into someone when they shoot.
ETA: After reading the other responses I see that nearly everything I noted had already been brought up.
