    The Palestinians started car ramming against Israelis first and now this has spread all over the Middle East, Europe and North America by copycat terrorists. Car ramming is very cowardly against innocent people. Now Canadian Iranian/Armenian does it lately in Toronto making it the worst fatal crime there ever in one day.

      That is an important point because Terrorstinians are the most inventive people when it comes to causing pain, suffering and murder for everyone. It is also worthy to note that the mainstream media outlets in Canada (primarily CBC & CTV) always fail to acknowledge the suffering of Israelis at the hands of Terroristinians.

      During this incident they would freely talk about the examples of this kind of car ramming terror horror in Europe but would never tie it to the people (Terrorstinians) and the place (Israel) where this form of terrorism was among the places where it was first used by Terrorstinians. Leftist media they treat Israel with disdain and will not admit that Terrorstinians are violent people and Israel a place where peace lives in the hearts and minds of the people – they want the world to believe, through manipulation of facts and reality, the opposite.

    I live a couple kilometers from the place where it had happened. Richmond Hill being partly Jewish has a large Iranian diaspora. Those who had come after 1979 fleing Islamic Revolution are secular and Jews’ friendly, however many newcomers, who are economic migrants and look like inhabitants of the Tehran Bazaar is a different story.

      If it were up to Trudeau and/or Wynne, we will be moving towards a country under sharia law and the country flooded with Islamists (unscreened and bringing their worst baggage).

      We are not sure yet if this terrorist is Islamic or perhaps recruited by Islamists but judging by his Facebook page he is definitely a misogynist who praised the Elliot Rodger 2014 Isla Vista killings.
