OT: Shooting at Parliament

[radicalcenter]

With what happened in Quebec 2 days ago and now this, this is getting scary

 

[BUCKLE UP]

2 or 3 gunman...

Weird thing is, I didn't even hear about the thing that happened in Quebec 2 days ago down here. Admittedly I don't listen to a lot of news - but would have thought I'd run across it.

I wonder if this is related to the hit and run near Montreal involving the military.

Like I said in my post on the first page...it probably is related. Maybe not as associates, but because of it.

Ok the Shooter is getting disturbingly close to my moms work...

I know what you feel. My dad was on the hill and on lockdown when that guy hijacked that bus and parked it on the hill in the 80s, and when that nut with a gun got into the House of Commons. Damned scary.

I wonder if this is related to the hit and run near Montreal involving the military.

Starting to feel like a bit of a 'test run', to see where the weak spots are on the Hill. Seems a lot of radicalized supporters online keep talking about some date in November where some big thing is supposed to happen.

Classes at uOttawa are cancelled. I haven't heard anything regarding Carleton though.

That is truly sad.

It was on the news as a multiple hit and run and subsequent takedown by police resulting in the death of the hit and run driver. Today is the first I've heard of the driver being radicalized.

Thank you, I'll get in touch with my prof.

No, that is a ceremonial soldier that stands guard at the War Memorial. Probably unarmed.

Why not have an armed trained guard in his position?

If were paying a guy to stand there an be useless, we might as well pay a guy to stand there and protect?

 

[YNWA14]

They had it on the news yesterday that the driver was radicalized.

 

[Master Radishes]

That is frightening.

Same here, so adding that in with this makes you wondering even more.

He is an actual soldier in full gear and all that, but I don't believe his weaponry is loaded. It's like the guards in the US who guard the tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

 

[BUCKLE UP]

This is terrifying

I got off campus about 10 minutes before lockdown. Thank goodness. uOttawa tweeted that all classes are cancelled.

Tunney's pasture is now on lockdown also.
