Five People Killed in Shooting at Quebec City Mosque

If both rifles are AK 47 and full auto, they would be pre 1986 if from US and easy to trace or if a plain semi AKs from the US, relatively easy to trace.

I think the "AK" thing could simple be that it looked mean, most of that AK talk has been removed from the sites, the media may have had their butts kicked for assuming too many things as truths right out of the gate.

I agree that they know and don't want to do anything which may jeopardize the case. Probably want to get the go ahead from the Crown Attorney before making anything public record in the media.

The police are in control now along with Crown counsel so from here on out it will be cut and dried and just slow forensic work and investigation.

In this case, if the firearms are from the US, and with readable serial, Importer ID, etc., it will take about 24 hours if placed as top priority. Otherwise at least a week.

That only gets to the original purchaser.

"François Deschamps, a member of an online group welcoming Syrian refugees to Quebec, told Le Soleil that he recognized Bissonnette’s photo as an anti-immigrant far-right “troll.”
He acted like a troll. He attacked the rights of women too.”

A police officer looks for evidence under a car in the area of a Quebec City mosque on Monday, January 30, 2017.

According to Bisonnette’s Facebook page, which has been taken down, his “likes” include the leader of France’s far right party Marine Le Pen, critics of Islam Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens, the Israeli Defense Forces, and Donald J. Trump. However he also “likes” the NDP and former leader Jack Layton." quote

I have tutored teens on Yahoo for maybe 12 years. Only in the last 2-3 years have I had to deal with such racism etc on line. Why it is getting so much worse I haven't figured out.

Unfortunately it happens. Cops are usually tight lipped about what they saw in the car's backseat however the Press simply asks the tow truck driver that tows the car and he says there were two AKs in the back seat along with handguns in the car just before the Cops let him leave with the car.

That is how it starts......sometimes.

Regardless of the "motive," slaughtering people at worship is intolerable.

Unlikely if he was known to police as a radical that he was unknown to local radicals and militants.

Scary how fast the media releases names, number of suspects and other vital information that turns out to be completely false. They reported the names of two suspects, then later find out one of the named may have been a witness! I realize it's a race to get the news out and be the first to break a story but in their haste seem to fire out a lot of b.s. that can be misleading.

I am very saddened by this and even more so that it happened in Canada. My thoughts go out to the families and friends of the victims, those that had to live through it and the community that has been shaken by this terrible act.
I agree wholeheartedly that the hate and the us vs them mentality has to stop. In the end we are all so much the same, in this case unfortunately so...

OK guys.

Your splinter discussion could be hived off into another thread, thanks JoePa and Skypilot for effectively hijacking things.

Update on the situation at hand. One suspect, one witness apparently.

I did my best to separate it into two threads but likely bungled a couple of posts so please let me know if you think one of your posts was misplaced.

[QUOTE=Fox;1014072]The hate needs to stop, all of it, just live and let live. People are just trying to make the lives of their children better than they had, this is a 99.9% reality, it is the 0.1% on all sides that screw up the whole thing. That 0.1% needs to go so the rest of us can live in peace, be is Christian, Athiest, Muslim, Catholic, Aboriginal, Jew, etc.[

I'll second that.
