Uhm, Armenia is saddled right between Iran and Turkey
It's also Christian and has a history of intense animosity with Turkey in particular. Ever hear of the Armenian Genocide?

Yea of course I have, but that doesnt mean last names havent been spread around the general region.

Therefore the last name of 'Minassian' can come from a variety of different origins

The driver's name is Alek Minnasian, information on him was gleaned from his Linkedin account. Something must have gone seriously wrong with his life, Linkedin is not a teenie site like Facebook.

Considering how generous Toronto/GTA citizens were to offer financial support for Humboldt, Saskatchewan better offer their condolences quick.

Yes - maybe you guys don't know but a good portion of the Syrian refugees brought to Canada were actually of Armenian descent.
Where those the "Christian Middle Eastern refugees" that Trump was enthusiastic about bringing to the USA?

Looks like he was a just a loser, no religious motive:

"The suspect had been involved in an online discussion about
​, the man accused of carrying out a 2014 shooting rampage near ​, that killed six people, the law enforcement officials said. Elliot Rodger went on the rampage because he wanted to punish women for rejecting him and that he envied sexually active men so he wanted to punish them for their sexual activity. Alek Minassian had made a post stating:
"Private (Recruit) Minassian Infantry 00010, wishing to speak to Sgt 4chan please. C23249161. The Incel Rebellion has already begun! We will overthow all the Chads and Stacys! All hail Supreme Gentleman​!"

EDIT: I would bet my soul he is in some of TERB's ladies "blocked list"

What a shitshow.

Well, whomever out there said "just a matter of time before it hits Toronto", was 100% right.

I've never understood why mental illness is a defense. I mean, any murderer has to be a little fucked up in the head, doesn't he? Should we just going to let all murderers off easy?
My view of the law is that it serves three purposes with three levels of importance:

1) Protect the public by removing the threat.
2) Rehabilitate so that upon release the perp is no longer a threat.
3) Punish the perp for the crime and deter other people from committing it.

Mental illness only comes into relevance in #3 in that the argument could be made that they weren't fully aware of what they were doing. #1 and #2 are far more important in my mind.
I never understood it either.

To me, someone mentally fucked up should be locked up even more so. If they are too dumb or screwed up in the head, they don't know right from wrong, so they should be locked up if they commit a heinous crime. Like a ticking time bomb. It kind of reminds me of elementary school where there was the class of handicap kids. At recess, one second they seem quiet. Next thing you know, they make a retarded run at you at full force screaming and you have no idea why. It's like it's totally random when something will happen.
