Justin Trudeau was never a social worker. He was an elementary school teacher in BC.

Ohhh a knife lol.
That kills me.
I walk around with a pocket knife.
Never has anyone ever flinched when I pull it out of my Louis Vuttion bag on the subway when trying to fix Jewlery lol
It has a pink handle.... which apparently makes it less threatening

I have hair accessories and pens in my bag tgat coukd do more damage then that knife he was holding.

Don't get me started on how stupid that officer was.

I gather you don't threaten anyone with that pocket knife nor do you brandish it at people while exposing your genitals with the other, all of this when sky-high on ecstasy. That whole story is a tragic mess, and while I am not saying he deserved to die, bad things sometimes happen to you when you behave that way. You're making it sound like he was minding his own business, peeling an apple with a Swiss army knife (and not a switchblade) when the policeman just shot him out of the blue.

If you live in Toronto and ride transit you always encounter drunk, high or just for fun of the mill crazy people. I deal with monkey business on a daily basis. Not even kidding. You ignore them the basically get bored or get off.

Once I had my head phones on and did on realized with guy was having this in-depth conversation with me for loke 30 minutes. When he got off the subway way and waved at me I was confused. This lady sitting near by started laughing and tapped me on the should to say... That man has been talking to you telling you his whole life story for all this time and dud not even realize you have your head phones on and were not paying attention to him.

Last time I checked a penis or a knife were not that lethal.

The entire situation was just horribly handled.

Common city sense 101 dontvarfue with crazy people.

On reference to a police officer.

The people on the bus got off. The driver got off.
A police office that can't disarm a intoxicated person waving a penis and a knife really should not be responding to calls.

I really think you should look more closely at the details of the case.

You do realize this is a bit creepy, right?

Thing is that the gun belonged to the brother, a gang violence character in Toronto, and the shooter had a depressing life.

ISIL, DAISH, has apparently claimed responsibility for the nutty gunman, but the nutty gunman denies any association with DAISH and ISIS. His family says he is nuts, and police have said they are looking at computers - no information about online activity so far. I'm curious why nutty people are speculating about whether the nutty shooter in Toronto is nuts.

I am not sure I understand your post, but in terms of what the shooter is saying, he isn't saying or denying anything in terms of his ties to Daesh or ISIS, as he is dead.
