I just got in contact with a family member that works in that area we were worried about. He said tgey did not tell them what had happened but put the office buildings on locked down. Another freind who works in the area said some of her coworkers witnessed it and had to leave.

No actual factual word on what happend yet. To be continued.

If anyone sees the video of the police office and the idiot driver you can see how clueless people are yo this type of violence in our city as they are pointing guns at each other and talking back and forth people are walking by right beside them in total confusion rather then running.

Impressed with the officer. Scary and amazing neither were shot or killed in the confrontation.
It sounds like people were in shock and unable to process what they were seeing.

If people want a lead as to the motivation look up the term "incel".

What do you mean? He couldn't find a girlfriend or someone to have sex with, so he decided to imitate terrorist acts and kill people with a vehicle?

That's where the initial investigation seems to be going at the moment.

I am sure there will be some interviews with his friends and family saying “he is a really nice guy and they can’t believe it and he’s not himself when doing this “

That's just pathetic. Women have long suspected that men were unable to think with their head, does this confirm that they really are controlled by what is between their legs?

Video captures intense standoff between police and alleged van attack suspect | Daily Hive Toronto
The people watching and taking cell phone picture are nuts.
I don't know if it is generational stupidity.... but I am old enough to get that when you hear shouting and tension you RUN before shot goes down. It is like public safety 101. You are at a club ... concert public event it vet's tense you RUN! You don't wait tontakeca selfie with the bullet in you are .

I think it was like mentally turning the chanel... you don't speak about it ... so it did not happen.

These things dont happen in Toronto.

At the same time this was happening I was at the intersection of younge and king meeting someone who commented on how she was worried about me getting robbed wearing the Jewlery I had on. My comments to her were I am not worried we live in a super safety city. Ironic comments now as on the oppsot end of the city on the same street people were getting run over.

Poor people. Bad stuff can happen to anyone anywhere.
