A driver plowed a car into a crowd at a street festival celebrating Filipino heritage in Vancouver on Saturday night, killing at least nine people and injuring others.
Some of those attending the festival helped arrest the suspect at the scene, who police identified as a 30-year-old man.
…
“It’s something you don’t expect to see in your lifetime,” Kris Pangilinan, a Toronto-based journalist, told Canadian public broadcaster CBC. “[The driver] just slammed the pedal down and rammed into hundreds of people. It was like seeing a bowling ball hit — all the bowling pins and all the pins flying up in the air.”
He continued, “It was like a war zone… There were bodies all over the ground.”
I know it’s a slim chance and I’m going out on a limb here, but something tells me the driver was a white conservative.
Video shows the person looks Asian. Probably conservative. I’d imagine a lot of Filipinos voted for Trump too.
EDIT: Filipinos. Not Filipino Canadians.
Going out on a limb that most of the Filipinos in that crowd didn’t vote for Trump, being that it happened in Canada
Filipinos, not Filipino Canadians.
I’d imagine a lot of Filipinos voted for Trump too.
Doubtful in Vancouver.
I mean, they’re still probably right that a lot of Filipinos probably voted for Trump still. Just not many in that crowd probably. And very unlikely to be “most”
Now I’m curious as to how many people outside the US vote for American candidates as write-in votes.
Seems like people already believe Canada is a US state. I dunno if I should laugh at the stupidity or cry that stupidity is winning
You misunderstand. And you’re not a very nice person. What I’m suggesting is that Filipinos have the same beliefs across the border. ChatGPT doesn’t seem to believe that’s the case tho.
No motive has been given, although police have said they are “confident” it was not an act of terrorism.
Let me guess? The suspect is white! I jest, but at this point it’s probably likely the driver is a radicalized “conservative” than any other group.
Maybe it’s time to revisit our car-centric lifestyle.
Your not wrong but this isn’t why.
It is in the sense that vehicle traffic shouldn’t be next to pedestrian areas, eliminating the opportunity for such an event to happen in the first place. At a minimum, there should be strong bollards, because mechanical failures can and do happen.
