What would cause a driver to jump the curb and drive down the middle of a sidewalk? That is what happened yesterday in Toronto. Police say that no motive has been established yet but they are looking into why a rented van ran over people on a Toronto sidewalk during the lunch hour yesterday. At the end of the carnage, there were 10 people dead and 15 people injured. The 25-year-old driver is in custody. One witness said the van had mowed down everything in its path: pedestrians, mailboxes, electrical poles, benches and a fire hydrant. Another, who rushed to help the pedestrian struck while crossing the street, said, “Pieces of the van went flying everywhere.” I think that looking at this shows that anything can be used as a killing machine when in the wrong hands and that maybe we are looking at these mass killings wrong. We need to look at the individual and if we see something, or hear something we need to say something.
