Any word on intentional or not yet?

Nine people are dead, and sixteen more are injured, many critically, after a rental van mowed down pedestrians for close to three kilometers in North York Monday afternoon.
Sounds pretty intentional from the eye witness ppl and that they said he was going for 3 kms
Well **** me...yeah, that's plenty intentional.
It's sad, but we're at the point as a society in general that we have to thinking about hardening targets from the obvious force multiplying factors in potential terrorist/lone nutter attack. Strategic use of jersey barriers, re design of streets to keep the speeding chunks of metal away from the soft squishy people would go a long way to limiting this possibility where any jerk off with a grudge and a license can rent 4000 pounds of death and mow down a couple dozen people.
I was reading somewhere that the other side of the street had a bunch of concrete planters or whatnot that would have made it impossible to do this much damage.
not sure they'll play tonight
There's some planters around the street (I used to live up there a couple years ago), but only at certain areas. Most of the street is just a normal street - although incidentally the city is currently discussing how to redesign that section of Yonge, whether to put bike lanes, or larger pedestrian zones, or how to reconfigure it to make it more usable.
While this piece of shit deserves to be dead... the cop that took him down without firing a shot is a freakin hero. That's phenomenal policing. Huge kudos to him.
