First instinct was right, Trump supporter.

This is like, the first time those kneejerk fucks were at least partially correct.

Crazy will be crazy. I bet he plays video games too, but that's not the boogeyman to blame at the moment.
What do you mean, police made no comment about anything for over 10 hours. Only made his identity know after they were absolutely sure they resolved everything and had the right guy. At least thats how i expect police to work in Canada, so they dont plaster the news with some innocent guy at the wrong place and wrong time.
We are past that in Canada. He was crazy, but it remains he radicalized his views mostly on the internet on far right boards and forums. He would repeatedly troll refugee facebook groups. Its clear this is a social problem we need to monitor more, because its easier platforms for people with clear mental/social/emotional problems to just get even worse.

Everyone on twitter is an idiot, i already established this in my life. There was as many people saying the guy from Morocco was the shooter as there was people saying it was a neo nazi. If you read something on twitter, its rambling from an idiot. President included.

How do I differentiate "Joe" the mechanic who likes trucks and guns and likes to share, link, or express alt-right dogma, compared to "Jake" the crazy who does the same things but ends up taking it to the real world?

Hey, if he was an internet troll, wouldn't Twitter and similar be a jury of his peers? Hmmm...
Authoritarian Alt right dogma is already illegal in Canada, so we dont need to. We dont tolerate speech that incites violence on others period. If your speech is about hurting other, it doesent matter if you think its far left or right dogma, your speech is no longer protected here anyway.
Social media is why there's a huge firestorm over Trump and why Black Lives Matter is a thing. Blacks have been rioting over police brutality for over a hundred years but it was always isolated to a city, now the whole country joins in, all due to social media.
And social media was in part responsible for getting these people killed in the mosque.

Because we dont have the balls to actually do what we should. Free speech works in real life outside the internet, because people shame is mostly accountable for what they say. Some people invents boogy men on the internet and the lowest denominators falls for it. Now real life is turning into the internet for some people.

Nope. Crazy will be crazy. The internet has always been a free-for-all, always. You've always been able to find your echo chamber if you wanted to. A person doesn't end up in one of those unless it's already expressing what they believe. It may reinforce those beliefs, sure, but so did regular meat space gatherings of the past. Riots have begun that way, purges, cleansings, mass killings, what have you. There's always an echo chamber if you want one, real or virtual.
Most people, the vast majority, who live in echo chambers do little real world harm.
So, how do deal with crazy is the issue. Not what information a person can read.
Canada is not as integrated as many believe.
Actually, compared to USA, Europe, Australia and S. Africa the communities there in Canada are sharply defined by ethnic identities and cultures where they are xenophobic and exclude outsiders. The reason for this is that Canada doesn't have a unified identity like the French for example. Which is also why the Québécois are defiant against a Canadian national identity and also the idea of diversity.
The balancing act moving forward for Canada is to build a national identity while allowing multiculturalism to grow.
Turns out the prime suspect is some 27 year old white right-wing poli sci student from a nearby university.
No word yet on how many legendaries he has so far on his demon hunter.
