Toronto Terror Attack thwarted - NF

[Radnine]

If you wanted to kill innocent people, why would you pick a VIA rail train? I mean, wouldn't you want something with some people on it?

This whole story reeks of one of three things:

 

A) It's budget time at the RCMP

B)"Look at us!! We're important enough to be bombed too!!"

C) It's a slow news day

 

If you were a real terrorist cell, why would you bite the hand that feeds you?

I'm sure the RCMP is not going to give out all the facts. It it was a cross border train from Toronto, it would be the daily Amtrak to New York. Again, an American target.

It's an attack on joe citizen. That's the point of terrorism

It bears mentioning that it was a tip from the Muslim community (I heard it was an Imam) that started this investigation so please keep this mind when talking about immigration and the Muslim community. I believe the vast majority of the Muslim in Canada condemn these types of acts and indeed want to live a peaceful, stressful life here.

 

Terrorism isn't necessarily about body count imo, but about creating fear. Paranoia would be one of the goals I would think, like getting people spooked about riding trains for starters.
