Another Summer of Violence Coming?
Summer Riot Season Is Approaching ~ Are your Ready?
Another deliberate high-speed vehicle-ramming of innocent pedestrians happened early last Saturday evening, this time in Vancouver, Canada.
Eleven pedestrians DOA, or dead at the scene. Three times that number injured, many critically. Most casualties were members of the local Filipino Community, assembled for an ethnic “street celebration.”
Perpetrator, an illegal immigrant, had “mental-health issues,” was well-known to local police, and should have long-since been institutionalized.
He was arrested at the scene.
This attack is very similar to the attack in New Orleans, LA, on early New Year’s Day this year. And, the casualty count is needlessly high for exactly the same reasons.
Local officials were completely unprepared!
As in New Orleans, hard “vehicle barriers, ” which were put in place to protect pedestrians at scheduled events like this, were conspicuously absent.
The best the local chief of police could do was immediately assure everyone, “… with confidence we can say that this was not an act of terrorism,” as if that dubious footnote magically makes all victims somehow less dead!
Does it really matter to anyone if…
No. I think not.
