Timid loner student 'who liked Trump, Le Pen and mocked Syrian refugees online' charged with six counts of murder for shooting up Quebec City mosque
2017-01-31
It's very strange. Why would a timid poli sci major suddenly shoot up a mosque?
As Rodney Dangerfield would have said: "He was a quiet man..."

#2  Three weapons.
Two arrested. One from Morocco.

So I got a girlfriend, now missing, that spunked the guy up, and a 'pal' compromised on the spot.

Not much different than the other shootings.
Small cell of agitated loner, connected handler and romantic interest. Effective CONOP.

Sometimes the aimpoint IS the collateral effect.
Sometimes the unintended consequences are gamed.
Wonder what this victim pool connects to?

#1  Indeed an odd case. He also liked the NDP, about as Left as Bernie Sanders.

And he called 911 to give himself up.
