Man, this is going to get real fucking weird real quick.

The word around French media right now, is that it was allegedly an Albertan resident that supposedly wrote a manifesto. That is going to muddy the discourse for sure if this is true.

RIP to the innocent man that was accidentally shot by the cops and to the officer who was killed as well.

Absolutely fucked up

Dude is fully decked out in rhodesian camo (a favourite of neo-Nazi larpers), so I'd imagine he had bigger "aspirations" than just separation.

Yea source it because I’ve seen nothing more than blurry videos. And wtf does that camo have to do with neo Nazis?

I can't link pics of dead people in this thread (literally first thing you see in the pinned comment) but if you look up "mtl shooter" on twitter you will find pics of him dead.

Also, rhodesia (called Zimbabwe now btw) is viewed by white supremacists as an example of a successful ethnostate (lol), so they use iconography related to it as both a dog whistle to signal to each other and an "aesthetic" they see as representing them. The camo was used in the rhodesian bush war (which they lost btw lmao) so wearing it now is a symbolic way of showing you're taking up the cause again.

Though let's be honest, you didn't actually ask that question in good faith, you are just upset that the shooter isn't anyone that's useful for you to demonize.

Source: used to be a neo Nazi but I'm not a fucking retard anymore
