For real.
For anyone reading this: in the lead up to the German election there was some supposedly Islamic terrorist attack pretty much every week and since the election back in February, which brought the conservative party into power, there has been nothing! Iirc it is now suspected that Russia caused these terror attacks to boost the rising far right fascist party and the pretty damn right conservative party and it worked. i hope Canada doesn't fall for it
That's awful! We hope that person gets the help he needs whilst being kept away from the ability to harm.
I hope instead that everyone else gets the help they need to never become this.
Agreed.
Vancouver police have dialed the deathtoll up to 11. I spent lots of nights on Fraser, so this is really shocking.
The vigil on Sunday evening drew a crowd so large that police in Vancouver had to move the crime scene barriers back so that people would not spill out onto the busy traffic along 41st Avenue, writes Dustin Godfrey, in his dispatch from Vancouver, about the strength of the Filipino community in the face of a devastating car attack that has killed 11 people and injured dozens more.
I made an edit for not so much clarity, but "11 eleven"? Come on, Van. I know you can do better.
There are times where this is used for comedic effect. Fully unable to read the room, we get redundancy in the wrong order: "eleven (11)" is correct, but that's just the beginning. This is not a moment of levity. You aren't The fucking Onion.
Nothing that can be done, says one of the other countries where this is starting to be a regular occurrence.
