TORONTO "TRUCK OF PEACE" TURNS OUT TO BE DRIVEN BY ARMENIAN

After a rental van was used to mow down dozens of people in the Canadian city of Toronto, killing nine, almost everyone assumed that it was another Muslim "truck of peace." It certainly looked like a Muslim "truck of peace":

Nine people are dead, and sixteen more are injured, after a rental van mowed down pedestrians over a near-three-kilometer stretch in north Toronto Monday afternoon.

Emergency crews received a number of frantic calls around 1:30 p.m., after a white rental van mounted the sidewalk at the busy Yonge Street and Finch Avenue East intersection and struck a number of people.

From there, the van – bearing a Ryder Truck Rental and Leasing logo – fled southbound on Yonge for several blocks toward Shephard Avenue West, hitting more people before coming to a stop on Poyntz Avenue. It had severe front-end damage.

The driver was taken into custody after he got out of the van and pointed what appeared to be a handgun at a police officer, according to a witness and videos posted to Twitter. The man was walking towards the officer, pointing at him with something in his hand, but dropped the object on the pavement as he obeyed the officer’s order to get down on the ground.

After Toronto's mayor, John Tory, called for "unity," I was pretty sure it must be a Muzzie as well. But now it looks like we were all wrong. But not as wrong as this guy, who was clearly betting the farm that it was a Muzzie.

Then the police went and ruined it by naming the attacker as Alek Minassian, which is apparently an Armenian name. Armenia, although surrounded on three sides by Muslim nations, is pretty much a Christian land. So, if anything, this is looking like a Christian terrorist attack.

It is still possible that Minassian may be some sort of kook convert to Islam, but frankly that's starting to look like a long shot. So, what was the killer's motive, if any?

Recently there has been a lot of political turmoil in Armenia. Maybe that might have set Minassian off. But how does killing citizens of Canada's most diverse city help that? Possibly just a way of letting off stress. 

Anyway, what do we learn from this? Probably that the less diversity you have all round, the safer your citizens will be. I mean who has time to keep an eye on Armenian politics and all the other hang-ups that might push one of Toronto's displaced and confused ethnic minorities over the edge?
