International 'Number of people' dead after car driven into crowd in Canada, police say

*bodies

When you hit 15 or so people at a high rate of speed, it's gonna leave a mark. We're not made of paper.

Yeah, you can tear up the front end from hitting a few deer. It's not a snowplow.


After an elderly man ran through the Santa Monica farmer's market years ago they installed these steel cylinder barricades all over that can slide into the pavement when not in use but can be unlocked and raised up by the police to block vehicles from entering the area when the street is closed for the market.

They'd also physically block closed streets with parked police cars in addition to the barricades.
 
Police are now saying this guy was known to authorities and had mental health issues, the police refused to comment on whether or not he had a previous criminal record. If he didn't they would likely say so..
 
Mental illness and crime often blur the lines. There is a point when they need to be removed from society for our safety. I'm sick of these crazies doing crazy shit and then released to do more crazy shit ad nauseum.

We let schizophrenic murders out on the hopes they will continue to take their medication lest they kill you with a hatchet and eat your brain and eyeball

If someone commits a heinous crime but they are too fucked in the head to understand or comprehend their actions that should be more reason to put them away forever, not less.

Particularly when it comes to mass casualty events whether they use a car, a gun, or a bomb.

Media was quick to talk about mental illness with the Unabomber and the Oklahoma City federal building, but they don't mention mental illness, poverty, and PTSD when a guy blows himself up in a market with an explosive vest in Iraq.

Sometimes people are acting on their own, but other times terrorist organizations and criminal organizations feed on people with mental illness, groom them, and use them as tools.
 
Glad we could get the most important detail out of the way very quickly: The Race.

It's not about race, its about the color. Had he been a bit darker in tone, we would have never known he was Filipino.
 
I know in Calgary for a while there they were using cement trucks and bulldozers and shit to block roads into areas where street festivals were going on. I don't live there anymore so maybe they don't do it in Calgary any more, but it seemed like a good idea imo and should be standard practice across the country.

It would be nice if we didn't have to worry about this kind of shit in Canada like in the old days, but that ship has sailed unfortunately.

They do that in Vancouver as well most of the time
Maybe some municipality spending cutbacks happened recently
Or maybe it’s only reserved for the biggest events/festivals
