Courage, my friends; 'tis not too late to build a better world.
CBC now confirming that there is only one suspect and that the other arrested party is a witness. They didn't say who was whom though. Under the circumstances, I'm inclined to suspect that Bissonnette was the shooter, but I suppose that will be confirmed.

gently caress, I actually had classes with Bissonnette 3-4 years ago. I can't remember anything like that ever happening here in the past 10-15 years and it's pretty loving awful. I don't really remember the guy but one of our anthropology professor goes to that mosque. Haven't seen the name of any of the victims and I hope he's ok.

Apparently, one of the victims was a university professor :(

Main story on the Globe's website, citing an unnamed community leader. Maybe this would go towards unravelling the shooter's motives?

I doubt that will be necessary, especially prior to any confirmation of which arrestee was the shooter. If this develops how I expect it to, however, within six hours I expect Alexandre Bissonnette will be one of the most reviled men in Canada.

I dunno if it's the professor I know but he's aged about 50 and he's got 3 kids so it seems to fit. I know he's not the only professor who goes there for his prayer though, so I'm still waiting on a confirmation. I sure hope he's ok.

It's just so sad, I even spoke with the mosque director a year ago about the acts of racism they endured and his experience in the community since he came here...

Where does it say this? Metro claims it but I can't find any corroboration by better agencies - who, even after metro's tweet, insist no such confirmation has been given.

Bissonnette was the one who had a gun in his car and he had no reason to be there. Would be really surprising for it to be the other guy instead of him.

I would think it's pretty safe to assume the guy with all the guns in his car who called to turn himself in is the suspect.

It means, if it was Bissonnette, he will probably be a household name like Paul Bernardo or Timothy McVeigh. The odds of someone confusing one for the other when all is said and done seem very low.

It probably won't have much of an impact, sadly, but the less the witness has linking his name to this shooting the better.

I still don't get how what you're saying has any relevance to that.

Yeah, editing posts on something awful dot come will go a long way to deleting a thing off the internet. Some day when someone makes it to page 438 of the google search results for that dude's name, there will be nothing tying the two together except for all of the results in the first 437 pages of results.
