He may, however, have “mental health issues,” as mental illness is the all-purpose catchall today for authorities who do not wish to admit that jihad exists.
An update on this story. “RCMP lay terrorism charges against Edmonton city hall shooting suspect,” by Paige Parsons, CBC News, March 4, 2024:
A security guard alleged to have fired shots and thrown Molotov cocktails in Edmonton city hall in January is now facing several terrorism-related charges.
In a news release Monday, the RCMP said its Integrated National Security Enforcement Team (INSET) has charged Bezhani Sarvar, 28, with counselling commission of a terrorism offence and possession of property for terrorist purposes.
Sarvar is also facing nine criminal charges in connection with the Jan. 23 attack at city hall that led to a lockdown.
In its news release, the RCMP say the following criminal charges laid against Sarvar also constitute terrorism offences:
Intentionally or recklessly cause damage by fire or explosion to property, knowing the property was inhabited.
Intentionally possess incendiary material while committing an indictable offence.
Use of a firearm while committing an indictable offence.
Intentional discharge of a firearm while being reckless as to the life and safety of another person.
Possession of a prohibited device (two counts).
Mischief.
Carrying a concealed weapon.
Possession of weapon for the purpose of committing an offence.
Man facing 6 charges after shots fired, Molotov cocktail thrown inside Edmonton city hall
Security guard accused in Edmonton city hall shooting makes court appearance…In the wide-ranging and sometimes sporadic video, Sarvar lists a long list of concerns with society, and says he wants to make the world better. His critique includes inflation, unaffordable housing, multiculturalism, “wokeism,” the fighting in Gaza, immigration, bullying, racism and genocide. It’s not clear when or where it was recorded.
Oriola described the contents of the video as a seemingly unrelated and borderline non-rational tapestry of grievances. and said video suggests Sarvar might have mental health issues….

He certainly has “mental health issues,” he is a Muslim isn’t he? Jihad is a natural outcome of the mental condition.

When they attack the civilian population the establishment says they are mentally ill. When they attack the establishment the establishment says they are terrorists. Well there you have it, grotesque double standards.

Alberta is very right leaning it is the Florida of Canada.
tgusa says
Good to know JT.
Mike says
Some people say it is the Texas of Canada, because it has a big oil industry as well.
JT says
In terms of oil sure but poltics its more in line with Florida.With that said there is a ton of push back even from the right aginst the gov.

Major Tom says
Canadian Judges and Prosecutors are political appointees……Watch this rat walk with a leg monitoring device……
Cam says
Recently heard that WEFs adherents have brought in enough fighting age enemies in the US alone to defeat fighting age Americans! …why do we allow them to stay in power considering the level of Treason!
JT says
I should be clear the CPC and Liberals in Canada have more in common then the Dems and Trump and company.Part of the reason the CPC is way up in the poll 41% in vote share is many of there ideas are more to the center less right leaning ideas.The extream right wing party in Canada which is more equal to the GOP is way down in the pollls 0.05%

One might ask the question, with all of Canada’s strict gun control laws, how he actually obtained this firearm in the first place?
