Soldier shot at National War Memorial in Ottawa

[Crazy_Ivan80]

Yep. There's a reason they're buying Islam for Dummies before getting on a plane to Syria. I always think there's a lot to the view in Four Lions. Contra Grallon it's the guys in beards and shalwar kameezes that you shouldn't worry about.

These guys in beards don't have any role in radicalizing the converts?

They are buying islam for dummies since all they know is what the guys with beards dressed in bedsheets tell them. Unfortunately for the world that is kill/murder/rape as they are instructed to do in the koran and as the prophet did as the example they are to follow.

getting rid of the political correctness nonsense takes a while

Yeah keep dreaming if you think most of us will succumb to your bigotry.

So 1 dead & 2 wounded. This isn't even the worse shooting in a Parliement in Canada.

In 84, man in quebec killed 3 & wounded 13. Perpetrator is still alive, actually he's free. Iirc, he was jailed for ~10 years.

So, much for Canadian gun control.

Perp was allegedly using a long gun, which is legal to purchase in Canada.

And doesn't have to register it.....for some reason   

Not sure what difference that would have made in these circumstances.

"Attacker, shot dead in parliament, was brandishing a registered long gun ..."

Is this social media sourced, bbc reported photo likely to be both real and the suspect?

The Sergeant-at-Arms killed the gunman 

I think Mr Vickers can expect another medal from her maj soon 

An odd dramatic experience to have near the end of his career, it seems he's been a very senior career police officer, though he might well have never shot someone, so he takes up this important, but also ceremonial job and has to kill an attacker.

The sort of decision you'd expect a young front-line city policeman to have to make and yet at around the age of 60 he finds himself having to make that sort of correct split second decision.

His mom works for the I immagration board. Feel kind of bad for her that they released her info and picture.

Yeah, that's pretty shoddy journalism.

Sadly I say a third of the board already has.  I repost something that libertarians showed me, I get all sorts of shit from people.  grallon goes on about genocide: Not a fucking peep.  If I stand up against that kind of bullshit Dguller calls me "defender of the faith".

It's being used here, too. So I assume so.

Check out these pics - as it turns out, the Seargent-at-Arms was wearing his ceremonial garb at the time of the shootout! [Well, minus the hat, chain of office, and mace]

You should take it as a compliment.  We all realize there is no point in responding to Grallon.

Remarkably so.

I saw on TV a story titled something like "attacker's mom revealed to be [name]" with her pic.

This is news?

The more you learn about our Sergeant-at-Arms the more you have to admire the guy.

From Wente'e piece in the Globe today:

And I learned that I had woefully underestimated our quaint parliamentary traditions. I'd always thought our sergeant-at-arms was just some guy whose job was to re-enact one of our dustier traditions by dressing up in funny clothes and carrying around a mace (whatever that is). Who knew he was also a crack shot?

But Kevin Vickers, who is 58 and looks it, reportedly can aim and fire with deadly precision when his nation is attacked, then go back into his office to reload. He'll never brag about it, either. That would be un-Canadian.

Mr. Vickers is the reason why terrorism doesn't have a chance in this country. He has made a career of reaching out to Muslims, Sikhs, First Nations, and others who haven't always been included in this country. When the Idle No More movement marched on Parliament Hill, he formally exchanged tobacco with a First Nations chief and said, "I understand your frustration. I understand the conditions in which you people live and I also understand the importance of tobacco and what it means as not only a gift, but as a sign of respect for your people." After the Quebec National Assembly banned the kirpan, he made sure the ceremonial dagger would be allowed in the House of Commons. As he told one gathering of Sikhs, he doesn't like the word "tolerance." "No," he said. "As head of security, I am going to accept and embrace your symbol of faith within the Parliamentary Precinct."

Man arrested in Halifax, guns found in a bus stop.
News piece.

Probably not related, most likely another lunatic "inspired" by current events.
