Right now I could care less what this fucker's religion is. I could care less about what his motive or grievance was. What I care about is the well being of the families that are enduring the pain of losing a loved one. This act was pure evil. Deliberately running down innocent civilians just going about their day. Sickening. That officer showed tremendous restraint. I would have emptied my clip into that maggot. And I wouldn't have lost a minute's sleep over it.

What we know about Alek Minassian, alleged driver in deadly Toronto van attack
Police say Alek Minassian, 25, was arrested at the scene along Toronto's busy Yonge Street
CBC News · Posted: Apr 23, 2018 9:29 PM ET |
Police have identified the suspect in a deadly van attack in Toronto as Alek Minassian, a 25-year-old man from Richmond Hill, Ont., a suburb north of the city.
Ten people were killed and 15 injured on Monday afternoon after a rented white Ryder van jumped a curb and plowed into pedestrians along a stretch of Toronto's busy Yonge Street.
A profile on social networking site LinkedIn identifies Minassian as a student at Seneca College in North York, the northern Toronto neighbourhood where the attack took place.
Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale told reporters that while the day's events were "horrendous," they do not appear to represent a larger threat to national security.
At a news conference Monday night, Toronto Police Chief Mark Saunders declined to provide a motive, saying officials were still investigating. But he said the driver's actions "definitely looked deliberate."
Yet one possible explanation has emerged online that suggests Minassian was angry over being rebuffed by women.
An apparent Facebook post by a man with the same name and photo as Minassian's LinkedIn profile refers to the "Supreme Gentleman Elliot Rodger," a 22-year-old responsible for a deadly rampage in Isla Vista, Calif., that left six people dead and a dozen more injured.
In a video posted ahead of that 2014 attack, Rodger raged about a number of women turning down his advances, rendering him an "incel," or involuntarily celibate. Rodger referred to the men who always seemed to win with women as "Chads" and the women who turned men down as "Stacys."
The apparent posting by Minassian says the "incel rebellion has already begun. We will overthrow all the Chads and the Stacys."
CBC News has not been able to independently verify the post as having been written by Minassian.
Cellphone video posted to social media on Monday afternoon shows a man stepping out of a white van, stopped on a sidewalk with its front crumpled, and into the line of fire a police officer who has his weapon drawn. He can be heard yelling "Kill me" and gesturing at the officer to shoot him.
Saunders also said Monday night that no gun was found on the driver at the time of the arrest and that Minassian was not previously known to Toronto police.

Wonder is any surveillance video will be released?
Can't imagine what it would look like... It is inconceivable to me that someone would do this deliberately.

Short of affordable artificial life-like females that can be fucked, this type of behaviour is unsurprising as more young males feel displaced, dislocated, and alienated in a world that has rendered them problematic or obsolete. Young men, idle or outcast, and with little means, have a tendency toward acts of violence. Expect more of this along with school shootings for similar reasons in the future.
If he is a Catholic then he is a Christian, or are you implying that Catholics are not Christians???
I read that he has been under watch from US authorities, as a potential terrorist. Let's see how this plays out and how Justin will spin it.

Suspect in Toronto van attack described as socially awkward, tech expert
LES PERREAUX
PUBLISHED 47 MINUTES AGO
UPDATED APRIL 23, 2018
The suspect in the Toronto van attack was a man who travelled through the world with two identities: One as a socially awkward student who rarely spoke, barely functioned and had difficulty controlling tics, and another as an expert-level whiz who could lead classmates through the intricacies of computer chips.
Police Chief Mark Saunders identified the suspect in a vehicle attack that killed at least 10 people and injured 15 as Alek Minassian, 25, of Richmond Hill, Ont. He was not previously known to police.
An Alek Minassian was known to his former classmates in high school and over seven or eight years at Seneca College as a man with no known religious or political affiliations or strong views on anything, nor a penchant for violence.
Their accounts up to a few years ago describe a man some former classmates believed could never learn how to drive, let alone carry out an attack.
At least three former classmates said he appeared to suffer from a social disability. A couple also said he seemed friendly and never had serious conflicts.

Bystanders captured the moment one police officer arrested a suspect after a white van ran over dozens of pedestrians on Yonge Street between Finch Avenue East and Sheppard Avenue East in Toronto.
One classmate, who worked on a project with him at Seneca in 2015, described Mr. Minassian as someone with a significant social or mental disability who had a hard time speaking to people, difficulty under pressure, and constant physical tics where he shook his hands and tapped his head.
The man, who did not want to be identified, expressed disbelief that Mr. Minassian would even be capable of renting and piloting an automobile. He said, when he knew him, Mr. Minassian didn’t drive, and didn’t know how a steering wheel worked.
The man said in a text conversation that he did not believe the attack would be politically motivated, saying he suspects his former classmate got into an accident, overreacted and panicked, asking police to shoot him in a video captured on the street by a bystander. The man said he heard that Mr. Minassian could code well.
One Seneca student in computer studies said Mr. Minassian had graduated from the program just last week. The student shared with The Globe and Mail a message Mr. Minassian sent to the group “out of the blue” on April 19 telling off his classmates. He added that he believed Mr. Minassian was at Seneca for seven years because he held down several software development jobs.
STORY CONTINUES BELOW ADVERTISEMENT
Saying he did not want to be publicly identified as an associate of a suspected killer because he is currently being interviewed for summer internships, this Seneca student added that he didn’t think Mr. Minassian had lined up any work after college.
The student said the Mr. Minassian he knew of never showed any signs of extremism or of subscribing to any particular religious or ideological persuasion – he was just a somewhat socially awkward young man who was good with computers.
A government source suggested that the suspect is not likely linked to terrorism since the RCMP integrated national security enforcement team has not been called in to investigate.
The RCMP was called in after Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent was run over in Quebec by Martin Couture-Rouleau in October, 2014, because in that case the unit knew he was radicalized. They also investigated the Parliament Hill attack that took place a few days later.
The student looking for internships said the Mr. Minassian who attended his school was a whiz with working with specialized computer chips known as graphical processing units. These chips have traditionally been used to help process images, but can also have other applications where they give computers a lot more processing power.
The student said he wouldn’t describe Mr. Minassian as a loner, exactly, because he would converse when necessary. But, he added, he didn’t interact well.
This student said he spent much of Monday trying to tell whether his friend was the same person who surfaced in videos of the post-attack arrest. He said the portion of an eyewitness video where the suspect pointed at a police officer with an object was the man he knew. The movements fit with the man he knew, he said, although the bald head was something new.

A Toronto resident who was driving near a van when it mounted a sidewalk and hit pedestrians says he repeatedly honked his horn to alert bystanders to the horrific incident.
THE CANADIAN PRESS
On Monday night police cordoned off a Richmond Hill home property records show belong to Vahe and Sona Minassian. Officers first arrived around 3:30 p.m., neighbours said. A Haig Minassian, three years older than Alek Minassian, has also listed the address as home in bankruptcy records.
In 2009, Sona Minassian was quoted in a story in the Richmond Hill Liberal lamenting that her son, who suffered from a form of autism called Asperger syndrome, was at risk of losing access to a special program called Helpmate that assisted the teen to “work though his cognitive barriers and prepare him for the workplace.”
“My son would spend afternoons working with Helpmate. They were sensitive to his needs and now he has a job at Compugen here in town,” she said, referring to an IT company in Richmond Hill.
“He was able to take the experience provided by Helpmate and apply it. This kind of service for my son wasn’t available elsewhere. I am convinced that if we didn’t have Helpmate, my son would not have had such an opportunity.”
The article did not mention the name of the son.

Care to share those links, especially after the cops themselves have stated that they do not know the motives of this individual.
He was socially awkward, could not get a woman to date him. He was labelled as an "incel" and tormented on social media. This has nothing to do with being a Muslim or anything with ISIS but a mere copy cat of Elliot Rodger.
Its highly unlikely either of you are correct
Armenia has its own (weird) orthodox religions
Gee I wonder where he got the idea to do this sort of thing? Hmmmm TV maybe? People shut your fuckin TVs off, the more this shit gets played in the news the more its gonna happen!! Throw your Television out the window.
Doubtful. He likely got the idea from the Internet.
No self respecting male in his mid 20s watches tv, and probably hasn't done so since he was 10 years old. With the internet you have more control over programming/content. With tv, you rely on elite tv executives to deliver something worth watching, and all that gets you for the most part are fictional series that put you into a coma, or stupor, week after week.
As much as I despise Forcillo this is the one time I wish he was the first on the scene...
