He did a good job, had excellent presence of mind and showed the courage and character we would like to see in police officers. He was not going to be baited into shooting this guy. The victims and their families deserve some answers, and shooting him would have denied them any chance of that or of confronting the man responsible for their tragic circumstances.
Van struck 8-10 people on Young in Toronto

I guess the word discharge can be used in both context. That's what I read on cbc.
Guess you two will need to argue this point with Police Chief Saunders and the Prime Minister.
Heard that he seemed to be attempting to hit women, anyone know if this is true or merely rumor.
Just look at those sultry legs, and it will make everything allright again in the universe
You don't have the right to use the word "hate" against anyone of this board. Hate is all what you have in your fucked up liberal brain.
They both agree with me. They have stated that it was not a terrorist attack.
What's the real reason? please do tell us since the cops won't (until their investigation is completed).They must say that, otherwise they will lost their job next week. I watch the news and nobody use the word " terror attack". It's forbidden in this liberal media. My opinion: It was a plotted terror attack against Canada. You can live in denial but this is the truth. 10 people died and the most important thing to lie to the public about the real reason. Pathetic.
I walk that stretch of Yonge St every weekday and I will never be able to stop thinking about the many lives that were taken from us on Monday April 23/2018. It was a bright, sunny day that all if a sudden turned dark and gloomy. It just doesn't matter what the reason is right now. Honor and respect those whose lives were lost instead of making stupid and ridiculous comments for God know what reason except you are all idiots.
Basket case I was reading cbc again and the article specifically stated the Military asked him to leave after 16 days.
Do you have another link showing where he left on his own?
Do you have another link showing where he left on his own?
The reason is important. It does matter the reason and discussing the reasons does not dishonour the people killed. This man went on a killing spree because of his hate for women and his feelings of rejection based on an idea that women are responsible for his "involuntary celibacy".
Maybe because I am a woman I feel the reason is important but that is just how I feel. Why should the reason be swept under the carpet? Because it is about women and not religious terrorism or a raced based shooting?
Some media is reporting that he left the military on his own.
That's a polite way of saying he was asked to leave on his own accord rather than be kicked out.
According to news reports, the guy who killed 10 people and wounded 14 others was apparently part of the misogynistic incel movement.
25-year-old suspect Alek Minassian, a “socially awkward” university graduate, has been linked to the anti-women movement after he praised a terrorist who carried out an attack in tribute to the movement in 2014. He pledged allegiance to “involuntary celibacy” group on Facebook just moments before he mowed down the victims.
“Private (Recruit) Minassian Infantry 00010, wishing to speak to Sgt. 4chan please. C23249161,” reads the post. “The Incel Rebellion has already begun! We will overthrow all the Chads and Stacys! All hail the Supreme Gentleman Elliot Rodger!”
Call it whatever you like, but I say it's an act of terrorism, homegrown terrorism.
really...
First things first
Secondly
Regardless of the reason whether it be terrorism or because he couldn't get laid - WHO CARES! People lost their lives that day just for minding their own business & living their lives. Some of those people that died could have been going to lunch or heading back to work , students going to school, etc. It doesn't matter the reason what matters is that FAMILIES have LOST loved ones and they will NEVER see them again because someone decided to do something stupid.
I have read the whole thread and cant believe some of the responses even from some of the women on this board SMH. Even the police don't know the REAL reason yet right now its all SPECULATION. I'm not saying that you guys are disrespecting the deceased but I don't think we should be speculating when we were not there and do not know the alleged suspect. No one should be calling him a terrorist or anything until we have all the information we need to do so!
Thirdly
To the TPS - thank you for doing everything you can to look into this investigation professionally. The officer that was on scene showed amazing restraint even though the suspect claimed to be armed and dangerous. It takes a lot of courage to do what he did and I'm sure many of us that are ranting and raving on this board would have done the opposite - so for that I thank you. Nobody else needed to die Monday - there was already too much bloodshed.
Fourth
To the families who are suffering right now and going through heartbreak and grief. My heart and prayers are with you right now and I hope that GOD watches over you and your families and that no harm may come your way anymore. To those that lost their lives on Monday I hope that you are welcomed at the gates with open arms and that you are at peace.
I guess all I really wanted to say is that while I was watching this act of violence on tv on Monday tears were streaming down my face for those that lost their lives and my heart was in Toronto and with everyone in Toronto as it always has been but more now than ever before.
Until the cops rule this as an act of terrorism I will keep my head high and not accuse anybody of something I do not know for sure myself. To all my fellow torontonians on this board - we must keep our head high and show that Toronto will always stick by one another no matter what happens in our great city.
May god bless you all. xox

that is not true. An act of terrorism is an act of terrorism . Doesn't matter the alleged terrorist could be white, Asian, muslim, Pakistani, European, etc ,etc. You do not have ANY right to say that "its only terrorism if the perpetrator is muslim" That's the most racist thing I read in the whole thread. SMH.

Agreed, but I prefer to have my nuts in a pineapple sundae.
Most guys fall into involuntary celibacy until they become men. Women don't want guys, they want someone who'll have their back when they are pregnant. That's the primary directive (Star Trek pun not intended), guys are a bad risk.
As Moe Howard would say, "I'll explain this so that even you and Indiana can understand".
If you had read my post carefully you'll notice that I didn't say Humboldt, just Saskatchewan. I got a little miffed by this cartoon.
Why is Ontario at the back when the province, particularly Toronto/GTA raised a large portion of the GoFundMe money to help the victims? I considered it a slap in the face, our generosity not respected. I may be reading too much in it, but I do know their is a great deal of resentment out West, particularly against Toronto. It's something that should be cast aside during a tragedy.
Yes, yes you are. Just like I would be if I complained that the Yukon, Northwest Territories, and Nunavut weren't represented at all.
