When Asians get attack it's never considered terrorism nor racially motivated.

Ban SUVs. No one needs a vehicle capable of killing dozens at a time.

We all know the gun owners are the real victims here

I guess you don’t get sarcasm. So sad.

That would be a serious discussion by lawmakers WAAAAAAY before SUVs reached the same body count as guns. Just so you know.

This happened last night, got posted here at 5:00 AM EDT, and now we’re on post #11. Just another slow news day in Canada, I guess. Now, had the victims been, say, Palestinians instead of Filipinos….

When Asians...

Ban SUVs

Good first posts.

More dishonest editing of posts. So sad.

Latest update is 11 dead.

****. That sounds a lot like a targeted attack, no matter what Canadian authorities say.

Dammit. My heart goes out to the people of Vancouver.

Even if it is just some lone wolf attack it has to be purposeful, no way this is some “tragic accident” or some shit.

Just terrible news.

You never said I'm wrong. You're just attacking the messenger for having the audacity of telling you something you already know.

That's bullshit. The worst terrorism attack in Canadian history, acknowledged by everyone, still having repercussions 40 years later, is the Air India bombing. Most of the victims were Canadian citizens and nearly all of them were of Indian descent.
Saying it wasn't terrorism because they were Asians is just plain stupid.

Is that your crazy logic? The people on the plane just happened to be Asian, the terrorist who blew up the plane didn't care. It could have been full of white people. Correlation (with N=1, no less) don't means cause and effect.

What the hell are you on about? Do you have a clue what you're talking about? Google 'Air India Bombing'. Those people were targeted because they were Indian descent. The terrorists who blew up the plane were Indian descent. It was Canada's worst terrorist attack and the victims were Asian descent. Your assertion that if the victims are Asian it's not considered terrorism is patently stupid. It's just you being pouty and contrary.

Nope, not stupid at all. You all just fail to admit the obvious.

In 2023, there were 17,900 non-suicide related deaths involving firearms. Most of those involved criminal-on-criminal and gang related shootings, not generally law-abiding citizens. That same year, 12,000 people were killed by drunk drivers. Are those deaths enough to justify banning alcohol?

In America you can runover 62 people killing 6 of them, and it's not called a terrorist attack or a hate crime, because of political correctness.
