‘Beautiful Day for a Celebration’ Turns to Carnage as Driver Kills 11 in Vancouver

[Lisa558]

The point is Lisa, I wouldn't and don't think differently. In lay terms that you will understand, we don't allow knee jerk reactions to set social policy.

I think that sort of reaction indicates the cause of America's failure to even consider rehabilitation or any other socially responsible actions.

Lock him up, execute him, what would jesus do?

Why would I care what Jesus would do? He has no bearing on my life.

If there's not going to be any Americans thinking in terms of remedies to prevent re-ocurrances then I'm going to have to leave this discussion.

I understand all the bad feelings but that's not being helpful. Sincerely folks, there can be answers found in accepting social responsibility. PLease try to be helpful?

 

[Donald H]

Not about America, duck. This is Canada--you know the country you crow about all the time. It is a tragedy and what you would consider a failure by gov't--indeed the current admin had it happened in the US. Face it--you're a commie troll who hates America. Everyone else on this board knows it and your response to this CANADIAN tragedy proves it.

I think you're mostly upset about me making comparisons. That's done and I'll stop now if it will help..

Read what I said my friend, about me leaving this discussion if you and others don't try to think in terms of solutions.

They don't have to be solutions to America's problems too, but I'm not to blame if they are!

 

[Concerned American]

This is the perfect opportunity for Americans to discuss the problem!

It doesn't reflect directly on America's failure that you've mentioned.

Topic duck. The topic concerns a tragedy in Vancouver, BC, CANADA. Not the US. I know it flies in the face of your narrative of a perfect Canada, but face the facts. Canada is far from perfect and has its own home grown problems --- just like every other country.

Follow your own advice, duck. The next time you want to politicize a tragedy in the US.

See my previous post for my promise to you.

But also see my demands on making this constructive. Last chance my friend!

That is such a sad thing.

And they knew this guy was loony.

​

At first, no one found it suspicious that the black Audi SUV had gone around a portable barrier into a street packed with festivalgoers lining up at food trucks and checking out artisans’ wares.​

​

It was about 8 p.m. Saturday, and Apl.de.ap, a Filipino American rapper and a founding member of the Black Eyed Peas, had finished a concert that was the signature event of the Lapu Lapu Festival organized by the Filipino community in Vancouver, British Columbia.​

​

At first the large SUV crawled through the crowd, and Kris Pangilinan, who was selling clothing at a booth, assumed that it had been let in to help another merchant load up his wares and close shop.​

​

Then, it started to speed up.​

​

“He sideswiped someone where the vendors are,” Mr. Pangilinan said on Sunday after a largely sleepless night. “All of a sudden I hear this exhaust and the sound of the acceleration of the vehicle. Then, boom: He hits dozens of people.”​

​

Shortly afterward, police officers were commandeering the tables in Mr. Pangilinan’s tent to use as makeshift stretchers.​

​

At least 11 people, ranging in age from 5 to 65, were killed in the episode, which Prime Minister Mark Carney described as a “car-ramming attack.” Dozens more were injured, the interim chief of the Vancouver Police Department, Steve Rai, said on Sunday, warning that it was likely that some of them may die.​

​

...​

​

Late Sunday, the authorities said that prosecutors had charged Kai-Ji Adam Lo, 30, with eight counts of second-degree murder. Further charges were anticipated, they said.​

​

Mr. Rai, the police chief, declined earlier to discuss the suspect’s motive, but said that the police previously had “substantive contact with him over mental health issues.” David Eby, the premier of British Columbia, said that the driver had acted “intentionally.”​

At Least 11 People Killed After Car Plows Into Vancouver Filipino Festival

Dozens of people were also reported injured after a car drove into a Filipino community festival in British Columbia, the police said.

Based on the headline, it appears the car acted on it's own. Cowards.

You are in no position to demand anything of anybody. Again, follow your own advice and STFU.

 

[Correll]

Google incarceration rates and stop pissing in your own nest.

So, no investigation into who is responsible?

Then you are clearly not serious about it.

Us neither. YOu remember the raving madman that led a murder mob to kill RIttenhouse?

He had been released from a mental health institution that SAME DAY.


No one ever said boo about it. I have never heard a single person other than myself, ask about the guy that decided that that raving mad man, (who got himself killed while trying to commit murder, by attacking a heavily armed man, with a plastic baggie,)


was NOT a danger to himself or others.

Someone made that call, was clearly wrong, and was never questioned about it.


We are clearly NOT a serious country. Not any more. Maybe someday we will be again. We are trying.

 

[Donald H]

Follow your own advice, duck. The next time you want to politicize a tragedy in the US.

This is more constructive my friend. You've explained the reason why you're not able to be of any help here.

For now we can leave America's massacres out of it, but I can't promise that I won't have to revisit it in the future.

When was the boy's last visit to a mental health professional?

 

[Correll]

Good questions!

You've carelessly started to think of what could have been done. I believe the news story has the answers.

You're full of it.

Wack job transgender or Muslim?

I know!

But let's leave America out of it for now.

 

[Correll]

I know!

But let's leave America out of it for now.

Sure.

So, how is the investigation into your incident going? Who let that madman roam free?

 

[Foxfyre]

Was the driver's name, Muhammed, Hakeem, or Aukmed?

No, it was a 30-year-old named Kai-Ji Adam Lo. So far none of the media accounts have identified his nationality or whether he was a citizen of Canada.

 

[Concerned American]

Topic duck. The topic is a whack job Canadian that mowed down 11 people. It was clearly a failure of the Canadian establishment and has nothing to do with the US. Your distraction from the facts is a failure.

How can I be of help to you my friend?

What can I say? Do you think that Canada is taking the wrong approach to mental health issues?

I'm afraid that I can't make any comparisons on --------'s slaughter of children because that has a negative effect on anybody's willingness to discuss without arousing bad feelings and negative emotions.

I'll leave the discussion now but I'll be watching my notifications for 'quotes' only.

 

[Concerned American]

Do you think that Canada is taking the wrong approach to mental health issues?

Obviously. A simple admission that the world society is in shambles and it is not the fault of any individual gov't would be nice. Holding people accountable to their actions is a good place to start.

 

[WEATHER53]

Mental illness is frequently an excuse for super violent acting out and no impulse control. Acts of extraordinary selfishness
“I was crazy when I did that” . No shit Sherlock. That’s not the point not excuse

 

[Donald H]

Obviously. A simple admission that the world society is in shambles and it is not the fault of any individual gov't would be nice.

I can agree that the world is in a shambles but I can't mention that it's the fault of -------;s political choices and the Zionist regime!

You're still not being helpful and you're deliberately trying to compare --------'s clusterfk of child massacres to Canada.

You've been fairly warned about your off-topic spamming of this thread.

This is about Canada!
