Facebook Post: People Hope and Richmond Hill

facebook post: Ten people were killed at Yonge and Finch in Toronto, and more than a dozen injured, allegedly at the hand, or rather, the wheel, of a guy from my hometown Alek Minassian, 25, of Richmond Hill, according to Toronto Star. He was charged this morning with ten counts of murder and thirteen counts of attempted murder. On Monday, it did. Though a Facebook post linked to the 25-year-old appears to praise Elliot Rodger, the misogynist who killed six people and then himself in California in 2014, Minassian's motive for allegedly barrelling down a sidewalk crowded with pedestrians remains officially unknown. When these monumentally awful things happen, most people hope and pray nobody they know and love was targeted. For some, it's strange to say, this is a relief. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
