Well, if each and every pedestrian at Yonge and Finch had been carrying a loaded weapon and had the presence of mind to react with it on a few seconds notice, we would see a van full of holes, the same number of dead on the tarmac (perhaps more because of the stray bullets flying around) and a still live driver. It sure is a good thing that we don't have the added complication of an armed population blasting away without skill or guile at random.

And even if they were well-trained, the element of surprise can seriously undermine one's ability to act rationally and in a controlled manner.

Jury's out on his nationality.

I did a search which show the last name's origin is Armenian, which is predominantly Christian. I also spotted the name in Iran, so....

Who gives a shit about his nationality? I have friends and family in Toronto!

I don't care if it's Johnny Cannuck who did it. I have friends and family in Toronto. If convicted, he should be put to death.

But in Canada, that won't happen.

Yeah riiiiiiiiiiiiight!! The f**king worst by a country mile!

Except for the fact that it's consistently rated one of the best cities in the world.

Even SARS couldn't bring us down.

The police and ambulance responders should be commended for what they were able to accomplish today.

Agreed, mf. I was just watching a video of the driver pulling something from his pocket twice- have no idea what it was but the officer who apprehended him should be commended for keeping a cool head.

Sad, sad day for the families of the dead and injured. My heart goes out to all of them.
