My heart sank when I heard this news. It hits close to home for me as I used to live not far from the location but also during my time in Vancouver I had the chance to meet some great folks in the Filipino community over there - all of who are just such generous, caring, and friendly people.
It truly is disturbing how common these car related crowd attacks are becoming, especially with the lack of discussion & emphasis around them in mainstream media. It's interesting how the one thing they always jump on to confirm is whether it's a terrorist attack or not to ease the concerns of public opinion.. I think it's pretty safe to say at this point your average citizen is more concerned about incels and/or dangerous, mentally unstable people (who are often 'known by police') in their community than they are about terrorists.
