Bissonnette is the only suspect in the shooting now.


It's also emerged that he has said some weird stuff, trolling social media sites of refugee support groups, and also women's rights groups.


Looking more like a case of a lone wolf, far-right individual at this point.
This. It appears now that my analysis was correct...this was not the typical ISIS attack.

Early reports exhibit Bissonette as a far-right wing Quebec nationalist. Will wait for more.

there is gun violence in every country, but there is a matter of degree. The US having millions of homeless people on the street doesn't mean it is as poor as Bangladesh.

You can blame Trump for this. How you say something matters. You can be diplomatic and ban residents from certain countries from entering the country. But when you campaign as "banning Muslims" from entering the country, you are appealing to the far right and fascist groups like neo-Nazis. It does inspired them. There is a way to conduct yourself and be respectful to people without indicing an entire race or religion. Trump was wrong for that. But I don't necessarily think he is wrong to place limits on immigration and be more selective about who we allow into the country. We allowed Tafsheen Malik from Pakistan and she was one of the shooters in the San Bernadino attacks. So it's clear that more had to be done with regarding to vetting people entering the country.

I agree. Trump has a very bad messaging problem despite putting out an otherwise sound policy (minus the green card confusion).

Subtract justified law enforcement shootings, accidents and suicides and the number is drastically lower.
That wouldnt fit his Narative😉

When you lie you should choose a lie that is not so obvious.......Michael Moore said that there is much less gun violence in Canada.

Canadian media released the name of someone who may simply be a witness to the crime? That is incredibly dangerous.
