Man shot dead inside Canadian parliament

Sunnyisland · 22-10-2014 10:07pm

Wonder when something like this will happen here ?

As I think it's only a matter of time when.

I wonder how many people get murdered in the US ever day?

Point: This is a non story.

The dead soldiers family and those that were terrified by the events might disagree with you there. Crass post.

Ireland isn't engaged in any wars in the middle east so I'd say it's unlikely.
Then again, who knows

Did you think I meant to offend the dead soldier's family? Of course I didn't.

One person dying in albeit rare circumstances in a foreign parliament is not worthy of the media coverage it has received on this side of the pond. Does anyone know why the media might be going heavy on this story?

There is even a heightened police presence here in Vancouver.

The dildo of a RCMP spokesman, Martine Fontaine, had this to say:

"We encourage people to remain vigilant and suspicious"

And they pay people like this?

Welcome to the United States of Being Terrified off Your Ass, Canada.

Murders happen here on frequent occasions, sometimes in front of schools.

The fact that its an unprovoked attack on an innocent solider might make it a story.

What an incredibly vile thing to say.

Unprovoked attacks/murders happen every single day.

The possible motive behind the attack makes the story very relevant across the Atlantic IMO. If it is motivated by Islamism as is expected, the UK or France could be next if security is not increased.

Well, this type of has never happened in Canada before. If, indeed, you think there is nothing to see here, then, please, feel free to move along.

How's that program to have janitors pack Glocks as they mop the floors in the wake of Columbine, Sandy Hook, Georgia Tech, <enter nutcase scene here> ?

Just need some clown take a few shots at the ducks in the park and then you'll be wanting Bearcats and drones hovering over the sandbox at the petting zoo.

So glad I live in the free world....where sanity prevails.

Motivated by Islamism?

Debating the media coverage is relevant. I am stunned at the extent of the coverage.

Haven't heard of anyone shot dead inside the dail (yet), haven't heard of any Irish military personnel being shot dead either here, For you to be thinking and saying that this just another : murder: is either you being totally ignorant of the bigger picture or you being just obtuse.

The extent of the media coverage on this side of the Atlantic is excessive for a murder. The media pray on fear and seek to hike up the threat of ISIS while ignoring the tens of thousands killed by US bombs in the last 15 years.

Most of the mass shooters actually turn out to be mentally ill.

I wish people would see the wider point, rather than reacting to one single event that gets the headlines because it happened in a Western country and most likely to be a white person.

Start away. Asking someone are you mental is just a way of not being able to debate, so resort to name calling.

Militant Islamism then, maybe I should have included that first word to point it out to you.

2 soldiers were attacked already this week near Montreal and one was killed, the killer was a radicalized convert to Islam.

That's 2 dead soldiers in 2 attacks on home soil in less than a week.
More than a "non-story" that's for sure

Is there militant Protestants? Militant Catholics?

You started of here saying this was a non story, but really you just want to start some sort of debate on Islam and how why people might be jumping to conclusions in connecting the murders/killings to militant Islam ?

You still think this is a non story ?

You are the one that used the term. It's up to you explain what you meant. No one has any idea what you meant by motivated by Islamism. Have you been watching too much Fox?

No, I'm reacting to a comment that today's murder was "motivated by Islamism".

Totally ignorant.

In a nut shell, the media's reaction to these types of events, the fear it subsequently causes and the extreme contrast to the treatment of the killing of people by US and British forces in the Middle East which numbers into the hundreds of thousands.

I get what you are saying (I think) in relation to media covering of mass shooting- especially surrounding High Schools. Experts agree that there should be minimal coverage, and that coverage focusing on the victims not the killer..

Attention yes, but not the attention it's receiving on the broadcast news programmes and news websites. I don't believe it is worthy of being the top story for example.

I generally think the coverage of American mass shootings on this side of the Atlantic is ridiculous.
