He's way ahead of you... Go check out his Facebook page. Apparently, there be some juicy shit on there.

Any Americans wanna tell us what models his pieces in those photos are?

Might be Canadian made, that's why he's using cross bows 😀
 
I've seen some people wearing speedos on the beach in the summer that could be described as terrorising others, that doesn't make them terrorists.

Correct - that makes them role models. Especially the fat hairy ones,.. God bless their uncouth demeanor and disregard for lunches still being digested.
 
go learn the definition of terrorist

terrorist[ ter-er-ist ]
noun
1. a person, usually a member of a group, who uses or advocates terrorism.
2. a person who terrorizes or frightens others.

He doesn't fit the first (as of the information we have now).
Fat, hairy guy in speedos fits the second.

But he is WHITE so how can he be a terrorist?

he fits both perfectly (though not in a group), and just about any other definition. you are making up a more narrow definition of the word. he might not be organized with a known and widespread cause, but he's a terrorist by definition. maybe not in the same way as a modern day "traditional" terrorist, but stfu?

Posting a dictionary definition is "making up a more narrow definition of the word"?

The problem with your approach is that you're going to debase the word so much that it has no real use any more.

how does he not fit into that? he doesn't use terrorism? what do you consider terrorism?

debase the word? too late. we already need clarifications like "islamic terrorist" etc etc. just saying terrorist isn't clear, though it is thrown around by the media. I suppose their definition is the one you use, although they are the ones that are creating confusion about the term. the guy is a terrorist unless he is so crazy that he doesn't realize what he is doing and doesn't have some sort of twisted reasoning for it
 
Seems like a terrorist to me. /shrug

KT

Seems more like a drill/hoax to me. I do love the picture someone took of the shooter from 20 feet away while he was supposedly laying into multiple officers.

Put on your common sense hat, folks.

This was about as real as the Hunger Games shooter who supposedly blew his own head off in his car, his car which had zero blood in it after.

So the three dead cops are pretending to be dead? :hmm:

This seems to run counter to the Canadian tenets of politeness. Is he French Canadian or something? 'Cuz that would explain being rude.

Hes not in a group (as you have mentioned) and...

ter·ror·ism
[ter-uh-riz-uhm]
noun
1.
the use of violence and threats to intimidate or coerce, especially for political purposes.
2.
the state of fear and submission produced by terrorism or terrorization.
3.
a terroristic method of governing or of resisting a government.


Just using violence doesnt make you a terrorist otherwise you may as well describe any violent act as a terrorist act.
 
he fits every single one of those from what we know. not sure why I'm even bothering to argue. oh, because arguing is fun and work is not...

1. his violence and threats aren't intimidating? his outfit isn't meant to intimidate or send a message? he don't know the purpose but reports mention anti-authority tendencies

2. there isn't a state of fear in the area? police telling people to stay inside, doors locked, and drivers to keep away from the area

3. umm, he's not resisting govt? he's targeting cops, no? is that random?

I can't believe you are truly ignorant to the facts we have...lack of a group means nothing.

Hard to tell what rifle is in his hand, but I'm guessing something chambered for .308 Winchester (update with better picture here). I'm guessing a Springfield M1A.

The one on his back is definitely a shotgun, looks like a Mossberg 500 SPX.
