Think the shooter was discovered by a civilian seeing a gun from a window and then shots being fired, police died in their response. I think I'm reading it right anyway. 

 

Neighbourhood seems to be primarily Jewish but Montreal Police said they were unsure whether that was the motivating factor for the shooting. Which they will now never know as the shooter was one of the 3 fatalities (one cop, one civ, one suspect).

I was just operating off the source that said “Early investigations indicate the attack was a premeditated ambush targeting law enforcement” 

 

Horrible and violent, yes, but given no one seems to know the aim, intended targets or real goal, makes it hard to claim as “terrorism” which is the definition OP wants to work with for this thread.

 

With his own example having no clear political aim whatsoever 

Evrul [3978611]

Yeah, I see that now. The article I read, read differently, but could have been the wording more than anything. Half the battle with real-time journalism is every source is keen to get their truth out before anyone actually knows what's going on.

Jtester [2477772]

Yeah, I agree it seems up in the air and we likely won’t get answers, unassisted by a good chunk of modern news agencies.

 

Sad to see especially as I’m going to be in Montreal shortly 

Evrul [3978611]

Largely protected in the UK from guncrime, a blessing in itself really. Regardless, hope all is peaceful for you whilst you're there.

 

I also just seen the second half of your first message (Not used a forum in a very long time and my eyes are piss). Whilst we're here, do you think someone can have the ideation to kill a police officer and it not be political?

Jtester [2477772]

Tbf I think that was a quick post edit that didn’t go through on my shitty reception for a bit there.

 

I think you can certainly argue that the killing of police officers is an inherently politically sided act. Obviously the common example would be modern leftists are not big on law enforcement, so people would attribute that to a leftist action.

Im sure one could debate till the cows came me home, I think my distinctions lie at motivation, which there can be plenty that isn’t political.

 

For example, if someone goes out and shoots cop because he felt wronged by then or mistreated etc I wouldn’t call that terrorism or politically motivated.

 

Obviously it's terrorism if this guy was going around looking to shoot jews or synagogues.

I'll take, JD Vance "downplaying the threat on Fox News" for $500.

Clearly couldn't have been the big bad Antifa boogeyman.

This case intrigued me. I know the thread is called "dump," but can it not be? Can we actually discuss these acts of terrorism as "civil losers drooling on their keyboards as pathetic existences of life who need to touch grass"?

Anywho, who is cosplaying as Christians on the internet and building an army of Christians to fight Christians in a Christian land? And that too, Trump, (amongst others), the "New Messiah"? 

Perhaps this is why people mistake them for QAnon — The core tenet of QAnon theology is that Donald Trump is a messianic figure secretly working to dismantle a shadow government.

PS: Intrigued, not because I think Christianity/Christians are violent, but rather because it hits close to home (ISIS and the likes pretending to be Muslims and recruiting Muslims who don't know Islam to have them fight Muslims and to feed into a certain narrative).

SmuggledIn [3082399]

I could hardly help my own statement from sounding more shitposty. 

 

But mention of "ultra religious" paired with "ex-military", sounds outside of what JD Vance might normally consider as "Antifa".

 

In either way, despite those individuals mentioned. I'm not sure a physical overthrow of our government January 6th style, is the best way to go. I would much rather see Nuremburg 2.0 trials for those needing it, as well as laws put into place that would prevent the ridiculous corruption, rhetoric and abuse of power and overreach from government threatening whatever democracy it is we have left. If we call it that. (We'll call it that.) And something that would reverse any damage done by any given government administration, whether it was on an economic level, or actions done that had aimed at reversing progress made on human and civil rights. 

 

But those kinds of laws will take time to build on. It needs to be written in a way that is clear, consititutionally sound, and ensured it can not be weaponized by either form of government leading. (In our case, whether that be Democrat or Republican. Unless a day comes causing pigs to fly, resulting in another party winning elections for once in our history.) But before that can happen, we need the current Epstein Island participants, and white supremacists like Kegsbreath, out of there.

 

Thus many are hoping for a turn in November, though we expect them to act desparate until then. Everything from labelling as many political opponents as "terrorists" as they can, to trying to mess with voting process itself under the guise of "but immigrants!" Which is BS. But as much as we're currently a complete mess, a physical overthrow isn't going to do us any favors. We need this to be legitimate, in order to withstand legality. Otherwise an overthrow will either be written off and considered null, and/or result in civil war, (winner takes all?) That is simply not in any one's best interest.

 

In conclusion, while I understand a desperation for our current fascists out, an attempt at a physical overthrow isn't in anyone's best, long term interest. We need accountability, and prevention. Not violence.

Palestine [2578434]

1946-Palestine

 

Irgun, a zionist terrorist organization, bombed the King David hotel, killing 91 people, and injuring approximately 50 people, most of which were civilians, and civil workers. 

 

The reason for this attack was to destroy documents incriminating the Jewish Agency for prior attacks on the British administration of Palestine, that were seized from the Jewish Agency during a raid by the British administration of Palestine while investigating. 

 

The Irgun later merged with other zionist terrorist groups to form the IDF in 1948.
