[@amelyspm4035]

I think autistic individuals that have more difficulty to discern common sense and the reasoning behind laws or have very omnipresent struggles in their life regarding their ability to fit in should absolutely not be subjected to any of these kind of semi-cults that exists on the internet. It takes one impulsive fed up a$-hole or a disconected individual that desperately needs to fit in -in a group- that are fed hateful bullsh** daily by their "peers" and it might end up this way. Way to go to misogynistic lowlives that actually use the vulnerability of clueless misfits to carry out their deeds and go down for them.. Autistic we dont "develop properly" from a neurotypical point of viee we keep somewhat of a child's brain in certain area.. And his obviously was his sense of discerning right from wrong as opposed to "good or bad" he was too childish in terms of social to actually go unsupervised on the internet. Doesnt seem like he wasnt instructed a strong sense of moral neither and by that i mean with us its an extra step. My mom is a perfectionist in terms of moral values and etiquette.. So i kinda turned into some kind of ethics police. Because we tend to follow rules when they are clear obvious and kinda strict. So maybe ppl didnt realized he needed that extra step of "this is wrong but this wronger and this is absolute evil but this is absolutely never and worse. Like he seems to know its "bad" but bot at what level of bad it is. And I kinda feel sorry for him being so disconnected.. He might end up fully catching up to what he did one day if he develops a stronger sense of morals or empathy Or realize female on the spectrum also exist.. And would've probably be more open and okay with his personnality. He is greatly immature. And if he does mature one day he WILL realize the monstrous act he commited. He's not a sociopath. And it wasnt under an emotionnal impulse. It was a complete lack of common sense mixed with immaturity cluelessness.. Some resentment fueled by his "peers" a stronger need to "fit in" than a regular individual and a fixated interest on his own shame fueled by his peers. He wont have that anymore.. So im confident his acts will catch up to him.. But well it was his duty to be self aware of his difficulties and act accordingly and try to discern what was an external idea influencing him on a wrong path. This is why its also important to teach ppl to open up... Specifically introverts, neurodivergent and ppl struggling with nental health issue.. If someone had known he was that hurt by his incel they couldve help him in a way healthier way.

The detective needed to make sure there was no possible way the dude's lawyers could later claim that he'd been forced to make the statement or otherwise mistreated by police.

The office I work in is in Toronto and I was at work the day this happened. I remember receiving frantic calls from my Mom, my Dad and my siblings who were worried that I might possibly be hurt. Fortunately, my office wasn't in the North York area of Toronto. This attack had absolutely nothing to do with video games. This guy rented a van and drove about 45 minutes from his home to North York in order to kill people. It was a targeted attack on women as witness reports said that he was driving in a way that seemed like he was specifically targeting women as he drove although men were also killed and injured. This guy was a pathetic loser incel who was angry at women because they weren't interested in him. He's also a coward because he expected that the police would kill him after he was stopped. He pretended to draw a weapon after he crashed the van and shouted to the officer to shoot him in the head. He thought he'd kill these people and then become an incel martyr. People may think that's a harsh description of him but that's how I see him. I hope he rots in jail for the rest of his miserable life.

That's why, every time they left the room to have him use the rest room or talk to a lawyer, the detective begins when they get back by running through everything that happened while they were out, getting him to acknowledge that those were the only things that happened, and that nobody else talked to him or vice versa.

Agreed. Detective Smyth's interrogation of Colonel Russell Williams is another great example of what you are describing.

[@alexb7641]

There is probably much more footage of American interrogations too, I’m sure the pool of human beings is the same. American detectives are playing a different ball game too though. In the US the suspect can shut down the interrogation whenever they want, in Canada the suspect doesn’t have to say anything, but they’ll keep getting questions thrown at them. Probably much lower stress job when you know they’re not going anywhere.

There is just SO much to unpack here, but here's what I'll say: The fact that the police officers were able to recognize - in a split second - that he was not drawing an actual gun, and they did not shoot and kill him despite his fake gun gestures...Wow, you have to have nerves of steel, incredibly quick discernment, and thorough training to pull this off. All credit to the officers in this case. This way they are able to lock him up for life but also keep him alive to interrogate him and determine the motivation, in hopes of preventing others from repeating this type of devastating attack.
