i'm surprised to see no thread here on the mosque attack in Quebec, even 24hrs after it happened.

i would have suspected a few posters for sure would have made some noise about this. no one cares because it's in Quebec? no one cares because a mosque got shot up this time? is everyone worn out about news stories like this? are US politics simply more interesting? i find the omission it a bit bizzare with the general left and liberal leaning attitude of most people on here.

What needs to be said? We all know it was some misguided nut job a la Lepine who did something awful. What is there to discuss?

Never seen a thread here when a southern baptist church gets firebombed or a synagogue id torched or vandalized.

seeing as 6 people are dead that's a bit more than firebombing or vandalizing a church. reading a couple of online news items there's talk of him being radicalized or a trump supporter. i just find it odd that there was nary a peep and wondered why not.

This kind of incident, where a white canadian-born male shoots up a mosque and sets it on fire is just what Trump's executive order was designed to protect against. #spicerlogic

why is it when a white guy does this he's a misguided nut job but if a brown guy does it he's a terrorist?

media spin. i know way too many normal brown people to believe the hype. You're smart enough to read through it too when you're being sold a bill of goods.

somebody in the trump thread noted that the man wants to keep us scared…you scared bro?

Back
Caught you lookin' for the same thing
It's a new thing, check out this I bring
Uh Oh the roll below the level
'Cause I'm livin' low next to the bass, c'mon
Turn up the radio
They claim that I'm a criminal
By now I wonder how
Some people never know
The enemy could be their friend, guardian
I'm not a hooligan
I rock the party and
Clear all the madness, I'm not a racist
Preach to teach to all
'Cause some they never had this
Number one, not born to run
About the gun
I wasn't licensed to have one
The minute they see me, fear me
I'm the epitome, a public enemy
Used, abused without clues
I refused to blow a fuse
They even had it on the news
Don't believe the hype

Yes
Was the start of my last jam
So here it is again, another def jam
But since I gave you all a little something
That we knew you lacked
They still consider me a new jack
All the critics you can hang 'em
I'll hold the rope
But they hope to the pope
And pray it ain't dope
The follower of Farrakhan
Don't tell me that you understand
Until you hear the man
The book of the new school rap game
Writers treat me like Coltrane, insane
Yes to them, but to me I'm a different kind
We're brothers of the same mind, unblind
Caught in the middle and
Not surrenderin'
I don't rhyme for the sake of of riddlin'
Some claim that I'm a smuggler
Some say I never heard of 'ya
A rap burglar, false media
We don't need it do we?
It's fake that's what it be to 'ya, dig me?
Don't believe the hype

Don't believe the hype, its a sequel
As an equal, can I get this through to you
My 98's boomin' with a trunk of funk
All the jealous punks can't stop the dunk
Comin' from the school of hard knocks
Some perpetrate, they drink Clorox
Attack the black, 'cause I know they lack exact
The cold facts, and still they try to Xerox
Leader of the new school, uncool
Never played the fool, just made the rules
Remember there's a need to get alarmed
Again I said I was a timebomb
In the daytime the radio's scared of me
'Cause I'm mad, plus I'm the enemy
They can't c'mon and play with me in primetime
'Cause I know the time, plus I'm gettin' mine
I get on the mix late in the night
They know I'm livin' right, so here go the mike, sike
Before I let it go, don't rush my show
You try to reach and grab and get elbowed
Word to herb, yo if you can't swing this
Just a little bit of the taste of the bass for you
As you get up and dance at the LQ
When some deny it, defy if I swing bolos
Then they clear the lane I go solo
The meaning of all of that
Some media is the whack
You believe it's true, it blows me through the roof
Suckers, liars get me a shovel
Some writers I know are damn devils
For them I say don't believe the hype
Yo Chuck, they must be on a pipe, right?
Their pens and pads I'll snatch
'Cause I've had it
I'm not an addict fiendin' for static
I'll see their tape recoreder and grab it
No, you can't have it back silly rabbit
I'm going' to my media assassin
Harry Allen, I gotta ask him
Yo Harry, you're a writer, are we that type?
Don't believe the hype
I got flavor and all those things you know
Yeah boy, part two bum rush and show
Yo Griff, get the green black red and
Gold down countdown to Armageddon
88 you wait the S1Ws will
Rock the hard jams, treat it like a seminar
Teach the bourgeois, and rock the boulevard
Some sau I'm negative
But they're not positive
But what I got to give
The media says this

Its certainly some nut job committing a mass killing but I duno if its a terrorist attack, I think its pretty early on to come to that conclusian?

Unusual for Canada but they have a mass killing every day on average in the USA

From what I can remember, the last terrorist attack in Canada was the Parliament.

Maybe because it's a horrible and tragic act that people don't want to talk about yet.

Only four posts in someone's triangulating it with Trumpism. But of course it has nothing to do with Quebecois chauvinism, 'cause we all know how much those folks in the Quebec hinterlands just love the immigrants.
Quebec = Alabama.

Terrible. Fuckin' crazies. :(
