This post will be updated as news comes in. This material is a little chaotic as I post everything that looks good either at the start OR the end. No real system at this point, as if it looks really important its at the top. There is a video feed of stuff at the bottom which is quite good so long as it goes on.

Also, the surname is Turkish or possibly Armenian.
The Canadians have nothing to complain about,after all this is what they voted for ,and the time before that,and the time before that,they never vote in their own interests,they would rather agonize over the poor wogs,who have only come to kill us ,for a better life of course.

Alek Minassian, 25, posted on his personal Facebook page that the “rebellion has already begun” for incels — someone who was involuntarily celibate — and hailed Elliot Rodger, a 22-year-old who killed six people in a 2014 vehicle and shooting rampage near the University of California, Santa Barbara.
Rodger had referred to himself as an “incel” before carrying out the mass killing because he was sexually frustrated. He later committed suicide.
Facebook on Tuesday confirmed the message, posted early Monday just before the deadly attack, was made by Minassian.
I have followed the problems with islam for 2 decades and am quite islam-aware
I also thought this one would be islamic … it had the M.O. of the cultural enrichers
However, unless a surprise comes out of nowhere, seems it was not islamic.
