Happened a bit before I stepped out of the house today. I walked the length of the scene and saw at least 5 bodies under tarps and a few people being treated on scene.

The numbers are complete bullshit, so hold off on that, there's like 50 different "unconfirmed" "sources say" tweets with wildly different numbers, some of which are being used by news orgs that ought to know better *cough*NEWSTALK*cough* e: Please tell me you got that from Paul Watson infernal machines fucked around with this message at 21:26 on Apr 23, 2018 |

Shoving cameras in witnesses faces and asking stupid questions that these people obviously wouldn’t know "All right, Peter, I want you to go out there and get the story! BUT DON'T TALK TO ANYONE. Just stand back silently and observe and wait for the government to tell you what happened."

Everybody tripping over themselves to drop their hot takes in. WOW GLOBAL CALLED IT TERRORISM THEY ARE THE WORST OH HEY IT WAS A WHITE GUY NOW WATCH THEM SAY IT'S NOT TERRORISM. WOW LUCKY THE GUY WAS SO WHITE OR HED BE SOOOOOO DEAD Is it really too much to wait for some facts to come in, or give credit to the police for peacefully arresting the guy? Like I'm first in line to call for public execution of bad cops and you guys turn me off. Please go outside.

Tell me, now that the driver has been identified as "white" from some grainy rear end cell phone footage, are you still upset at global for calling it terrorism or are you going to have an anuerysm when they roll that back to "lone wolf"? Granted the discussion on this page has largely been better, but the back half of the last page was at least 50 percent hot takes Edit: I guess I should read poster names instead of just text. You post a lot and it wasn't all hot takes. So sorry, I guess I wronged you

Yes, I'm sorry about your reading comprehension, I understand there are continuing education classes you can take to help with that. For example, reading what I wrote would get you to the Global reporter calling a 20 minute old incident an "alleged terror incident" when, publicly no one had made those allegations in any official capacity, it was pure speculation on his part. He was the one alleging it was a terror incident, you see. You'll also see where I said it was good that the police officer did their job properly and very neatly de-escalated the situation and effected an arrest, I said that it's particularly notable because that is frequently not how these interaction go in Toronto.

Yes, I would be upset if they now called it a lone wolf act because what you get called by the media definitely has an impact on what you get charged with. Just look at Alexandre Bissonette, who was not charged for terrorism for what reason again? Also, after looking at that video, the officer did a great job and that man might not still be alive had another arrived at the scene before him.

Maybe it shows how excellent a job our media is doing publicizing the ones where TPS kills someone that we think that's the norm so we're surprised when a high publicity one like this goes the other way when this other way is actually way closer to average.

A CP24 reporter is citing Sunnybrook saying they received 8 patients, one of whom has died. https://twitter.com/stephaniesmyth/status/988505306929025025 I think the others are based on reports of covered bodies on the street.

It may also show that, but on the other hand the province seems to agree enough to have set up more than one taskforce to review use of force incidents and suggest new policy and training.

infernal machines posted:Bonus, there was recently a rather large and angry debate about plans to reduce the lanes, add bike lanes and expand pedestrian walkways along that stretch of road. They mayor's infrastructure board nixed the staff plan to do it and tried to spend another $25 million to shunt the separated bike lanes to a side street. To be honest when I first heard about this I assumed it was either road rage or someone who decided it'd be fun to slaughter some pedestrians. I live in Hamilton where I am a legal murder target because I don't have a car and occasionally cross the street while owning a cell phone, so perhaps I'm biased here.

infernal machines posted:Some loving brain genius from Global is already calling it an "alleged terror incident". I dont think its that much of a stretch to say its allegedly a terror attack considering this is the exact M.O. that is most commonly being used by terrorists in the 1st world right now.

Yeah, I mean like if the national average is 0.2% and TPS is 1% that's 5x higher and should be looked into but the media has the public believing it's 80%. I'm not even saying that's a problem, the government represents the people and the media got the people to demand their government look into this. Good job media. To the point this guy thought he had a solid suicide plan and people are shocked it didn't work.

Maybe not, but I think it's irresponsible because we know very little about the person who did this. "Terrorist attack," like it or not, is a loaded term that has very specific implications in our media landscape.

Maybe in the absence of further information we could just all agree the driver was a stupid murderous rear end in a top hat whatever his self ascribed motivation and skip the giant uninformed slapfight? Just a thought.
