| Muslim family members targeted in fatal hit and run Ontario
https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/londo...tody-1.6056238 Quote:
A 20-year-old man was charged Monday with four counts of murder and one count of attempted murder in a hit and run Sunday involving a pickup truck, in what London, Ont., police believe was a targeted attack on a Muslim family of five.
Terrorism charges are also possible against Nathaniel Veltman, 20, of London, said Det.-Insp. Paul Waight at a news conference. Veltman appeared in court via video link Monday afternoon.
"There is evidence that this was a planned, premeditated act and that the family was targeted because of their Muslim faith," said Waight.
"This is a devastating loss of four members of our community," added police Chief Steve Williams at an afternoon news conference.
The names of the victims aren't being released at this time, at the request of family members.
The family members who died are a:
74-year-old woman.
46-year-old man.
44-year-old woman.
15-year-old girl.
A nine-year-old boy remained in hospital with serious injuries.
Police say that at 8:40 p.m. ET, the family was walking along Hyde Park Road and were waiting to cross the intersection, in northwest London, when the truck mounted the curb and struck them.
| What a piece of shit the guy is.

Very sad, indeed. What goes through the minds of people like him?

This is act of terrorism and should be treated as such.

This is disturbing, I feel terrible for that family and that poor 9 year old losing his entire family as well, that's so fucked.
Domestic Terrorism for sure, lets not discount it.

How the...
Like what's wrong with a person that does something like this?
I'm curious how do you plan to run over a family with a vehicle anyway? Do they always walk together or something? It seems a bit odd on the planning side unless he had planned to do something else to this particular family and then just saw them and acted?
Fucked up man...

^^^ the general area they were attacked at(don't know exactly where along Hyde Park they were attacked) is nearby several mosques driving distance anyway
So the area likely has a lot of Muslim people, so if he planned this, it'd depend on how thorough he was, was it any Muslim, or this particular family, they must go on nightly walks if it were them in particular
(thought they were a 10min walk from the nearest mosque, but my Google maps was set to drive)

I assume they also gathered this was a hate crime based on the actual perpetrator's comments to police upon his arrest.

They are going to make an example out of this guy.
