Gotta wonder if he saw a large number of women on the sidewalk and just took the opportunity. Sad sad person.

Hang him, dude should have got a blow up doll to take his frustrations out on!

[woodenboater]

curious, but why won't some like it ? police training and a cool head prevailed and is now an example of that for other forces. this is a huge win for TPS and deservedly so

I have mixed feeling about this. Yes shooting this prick, is what he deserved; but this cop did what is was supposed to do. He enforce the law and did it without becoming the executioner. Like someone else has already said, in cases like this, where there's no doubt the person did this crime; have him/her put to death. No insanity plea, if he's found criminally insane, there's no use for him in society. We put rabid dogs down; putting them out of misery?

sounds like this kid was on the spectrum and his difficulty relating to people snowballed into something much much bigger and sinister.

none of the above is an excuse for anything, it was a terrible act.  but certainly not terrorism.

[Henricus]

Condolences to those affected most.

For every American cop that has seen the video he/she is saying "...maybe in Canada but in my neighbourhood that cop is dead!"

 

[SirCranksalot]

It sounds quite unlikely that it was a terrorist attack but let's see what the investigation uncovers ove rthe next months.

I'm glad the police didn't shoot him. That's what he wanted. Let's give him lots of time for him to wish he was dead. Make the bugger suffer.

"bugger" being a euphenism for the word I used!

This wasn't a terrorist attack.

Agreed.

 

Just one twisted individual intent on killing.

 

Terrorism gets thrown around too much, as does mentally Ill

 

Ummmmm, if you kill people without a very very good reason obviously you are mentally ill.

Thoughts and condolences to all those involved.

And that police officer is one heck of a public defender.

[BillM]

Yup, cop did a great job that's for sure.  Nice to see some praise instead of the constant bashing they receive. 

[Fish Farmer]

Now we all have to pay for this individual for the rest of his life.

Makes since to me.

Did he feel for the innocent people he killed.

The surviving families should be the judge.

Naw , he will serve any sentences concurrently, he could be out in like 15 years    They will say he is no longer a threat if he stays on medication or some bullcrap.

Just like the nurse that murdered the 8 seniors a couple years back. Everything to be served concurrently so basically she only got punished for killing the 1st person.

I love this country but our justice system must be one of the worst and most lenient in the world.

[woodenboater]

I have a feeling, since he's facing a huuuge stack of charges, that the prosecution will seek consecutive vs concurrent. I'll be surprised if he serves concurrent, if convicted of all ten first degrees and 13 attempted murder charges.

[moxie]

Regardless off laws, given the sentiment I highly doubt he will evef see the light of day. Well maybe an hour a day.

I think there's a lot of people thinking the cop should have squeezed one off.

Now this peace of trash is going to think he's a martyr.

Now the trash sits in jail getting 3 squares a day and full benefits that WE have to pay for. Are we not the victim in some way.

Like to know what the cop really thought. we have to many cry me a river people.

Wouldn't want a cops job, your a #$% if you do and a #$% if you don't. It could have went the other way if the trash had a real gun. 11 Dead.

World is going down the pipe, how long before another trash wants to beat this trash.

Sorry Bill, but this stuff really pisses me off, nothing against you bud.

Totally understand this sentiment but I'm glad he didn't. Btw, his father was an officer in Hong Kong so he must have learned lessons watching his father.

 

So let's say PC Lam did shoot and kill the driver, what that does is it leaves an extremely important question unanswered for the families of those who were struck. I know I'd need an answer to that question as it's part of the healing process and allows one to deal with what happened. If he's dead, that question will never be answered and will linger and simmer forever. I'd want, and need closure.

You make a very good point.

After said and done, Capital punishment comes to mind,  trash is 100% guilty. 

[SirCranksalot]

he WANTED to be killed. Why should we give that scum what he wanted. Let his brain torture him for a few years!!!

 

[AKRISONER]

i think its somewhat great that the guy didnt get his wish to die. He took an L in the end. I am sure that they have him in a nice padded room on suicide watch as well.

[lew]

Another way to look at it is if he'd have been killed it would be over for him but if we can lock him up forever he's got everyday for many years to suffer in a tiny cramped cell with hopefully, NO chance of ever getting out.

But unlike Bernardo, let's not allow him any comfort or enjoyment like TV or computer or anything to read....EVER.

Well this guy did all of this because he couldn't get laid.  

 

Now he will be someone's bee-ach in jail for a long time. 

 

Seems fitting.
