Makes me wonder how he made it through initial screening at recruitment, I'm kind of surprised he made it as far as training.
Everyone seemed to make a big deal out of the fact he is Armenian, and Armenians are Christian, so therefore there are no ties to islamic terror groups, because we all know once your parents pick a religion for you no one has ever converted to another religion or changed their veiws on organized religion ever. And yes, I do realize he supposedly never claimed to be inspired by religious beliefs but one random facebook post about his quote-unquote motivation seems to be a little thin to claim this was really all about the Chads and Staceys, because no one ever shitposts in real life, right? There has already been some speculation about whether he even made the facebook post but I'm speculating any of that talk is 4Chan trying to muddy the waters.
The line between "Terrorism for sure" and "Definitely not terrorism" has gotten a little blurry in recent years, I do find myself being nostalgic for the good old days of international terrorism when everybody knew what a terrorist attack was. I blame the internet.
And I suppose I should give a grudging thumbs up to the Canadian gun laws that kept him from buying a gun. For sure a huge thumbs up to the arresting officer from Toronto police, I'm guessing the office was able to identify that the attacker was holding a cell phone and not a gun and took the appropriate action to place him under arrest.
Sooner or later the interviews and/or interrogations will be released to the media and we will have a better understanding of the mottive behind theis attack. I still believe it's the fame/infamy that motivates a lot of this. It's one of the only ways I can think of for an unknown person to suddenly be talked about by people and media around the world, sadly.
Seriously? You don't accept the fact that it has been clearly and absolutely established that this massacre has nothing whatsoever to do with any iteration of Islam?
