“I think under the stand your ground law, Mr. Popper was perfectly reasonable and justified in his actions,” said Robert Gershman, the attorney representing Popper. “There was no question when you look and listen to the facts of the case, Mr. Popper was shot at.”
Popper said he is ready to move forward with his life.
“Hindsight is 20/20. There are always things we can look back and say we wish we could have done differently. Definitely, I would have done --would be to not have pumped my brakes. I would have taken another tactic. Definitely try to de-escalate a little better,” he said.

Being gay is actually the best time to have a small dick because you can just bottom. If you were straight you'd be in trouble.

Police say Amqui, Que., crash was deliberate, victims chosen at random

quote:

The driver of a pickup truck that slammed into a group of pedestrians in Amqui, Que., on Monday afternoon did so intentionally but chose his victims at random, the police said.

Provincial police have identified Steeve Gagnon, 38, an Amqui resident, as the driver.

Pickup truck driver hits multiple pedestrians, kills 2 in Amqui, Que.
Gagnon turned himself in, was arrested and has been charged with two counts of dangerous driving causing death. He is expected to appear in court later today.

Gérald Charest, 65, and Jean Lafrenière, 73, were killed and nine others were injured in the incident.

Claude Doiron, a spokesperson for the Sûreté du Québec (SQ), Quebec's provincial police force, said investigators believe Gagnon planned the act and did it deliberately, but chose his victims at random. Officers are treating the incident as a murder investigation, Doiron said.

Gagnon is co-operating with investigators, he added.

Of the nine surviving victims, three suffered serious injuries and are in critical condition and six others were being evaluated for non-life-threatening injuries, according to the SQ.

Six victims, including a baby and a toddler, were transferred by plane to the Hôpital de l'Enfant-Jésus trauma unit in Quebec City. They are both in stable condition, the CHU de Québec confirmed. Three adults remain in critical condition.

One victim is under observation at the Amqui hospital.

Lmao, I asked the same thing in the Canada Thread in CSPAM. We had a tour guide on a high school ski trip to QC who spelled his name the same way. I wonder if it's disambiguation in case a Francophone unfamiliar with the name mispronounced it like the 'ev' in 'Beverly'.

Big cars are excellent terrorist weapons. We've seen it a few times in Germany and France I think, but I fear that American style trucks could do a lot more killing.

I think a Danish comedian made a joke that this would be the most cost efficient way of killing people, and the police basically went up to him and said that yeah, that's true, but maybe stop using that joke in case someone gets inspiration from it.

Wherever it was legal dueling (among common folk and not in the military) was inevitably banned explicitly because men would go around challenging weaker opponents to duels and murdering them basically unimpeded. Like imagine you get out of the army and move to the city and just challenge every barista who doesn't make your coffee right to a duel to the death (and if you go back far enough in history, you'd get to inherit all their stuff if you won). Legalized dueling just tends to breed an excess of violent thugs harassing your citizenry.

So yeah, basically it wouldn't make much of a difference.

Yes but it was considered extremely dishonorable to refuse, basically admitting everything the challenger said about you was true, and you would be mocked ruthlessly. So, given this is America,

In Toronto in 2018, an incel rented a van and drove it onto the sidewalk, killing 11 people. Last year he was sentenced to life in prison, possibility of parole after 25 years.

Two years ago in London, Ontario (about two hours west of Toronto), a guy drove his truck into a family of four (two 75-year-old women, a 46-year-old man and a 15-year-old girl), killing all of them, because they were Muslim. I think his trial is going on right now.
