Acts of Terrorism megathread

[HVC]

Drivers name was Alek Minassian. Not sure what ethnicity the name is, but he looks slavic to me

Forgot the link. And he was a incel dude. So not terrorism, misogyny.

Surname is Armenian. And why couldn't misogyny lead to terrorism?

sorry, meant terrorism in the more mainstream sense of Muslim extremism

Looks like our cop on the scene did a good job arresting this nutbar:

Yeah, you can here it in the video

"kill me"
"no"
"i have a gun"
"I don't care"

That cop was very courageous, not to simply gun him down.

Then the cop puts away his gun and pulls out his baton, and the nut realizes that, instead of a glorious suicide by cop, he's gonna get a painful and humiliating beating - and so surrenders.

Great job from the cop.

Yeah kudos to the cop. If this was in America, the dude would be riddled with bullets by now.

That Canadian cop realized that the moron with the phone still had his safety on.

[Ed Anger]

Yeah kudos to the cop. If this was in America, the dude would be riddled with bullets by now.

It would have saved on prison costs.

Yeah kudos to the cop. If this was in America, the dude would be riddled with bullets by now.

I'm really impressed.

Yeah kudos to the cop. If this was in America, the dude would be riddled with bullets by now.

I am glad we are setting such a high standard for police work for the rest of the world.

This is the saddest thing I've ever been exposed to.  Sadder even than the Swinger phone message scene.

Alek Minassian's last Facebook post before the attack was "The Incel Rebellion has already begun! We will overthrow all Chads and Stacys! All hail Supreme Gentleman Elliot Rodger!"

Incel means involuntary celibacy, i.e., you can't get laid.  Chads are guys who get laid while you don't.  Stacy's are girls who won't bang you.  Elliot Rodger was a guy who killed six in Santa Monica because he couldn't get laid.

One person was killed in a knife attack in Paris on Saturday and the assailant was shot dead by police, a police source said.


French Interior Minister Gerard Collomb confirmed there had been an attack in Paris and said there were victims, without giving any details. The attacker had been overpowered by police, he said.

The Paris prefecture had earlier said a person had carried out a knife attack in the second arrondissement - or district - of the French capital. Paris' opera and landmark retail stores are located in that area.

PARIS KNIFE ATTACK

The police source said some seven people had been injured.

BFM TV said two were in a critical condition.

A judicial source said authorities were looking into whether the anti-terrorism prosecutor's office should be handling the case.

France has been on high alert as a series of attacks commissioned or inspired by Islamic State have hit the country over the past three years in which dozens of people have been killed.

Tragedy for the victims of this 'nutter'; good work by the police getting him so soon into his rampage.

That religion, sure is a powerful mind altering drug for some. Maybe for those troubled individuals it should only be available on prescription and taken under supervision, their dosages monitored?

Some extremely dangerous opium of the people indeed!

Perpetrator was Chechnyan, naturalised French (?!) after his refugee mother was given French citizenship.....
Name has been given, named Azimov, but not Isaac.
He was on an anti-terrorism watchlist, the so-called S-File.
