Quebec City mosque attack suspect known for right-wing online posts

[wildeyed]

White nationalist terrorist was inspired by a visit from Le Pen and got his start as a RW messageboard troll. BIG Trump supporter too. Daddy Bannon must be soooooo proud of him! Because this es EXACTLY what he and his Beirtbart buddies are trying to incite.

The suspect in the deadly attack on a Quebec City mosque was known in the city's activist circles as a right-wing troll who frequently took anti-foreigner and anti-feminist positions and stood up for U.S. President Donald Trump.

Alexandre Bissonnette, 27, a student at Laval University who lived on a quiet crescent in the Cap-Rouge suburb of Quebec City, faces six counts of first-degree murder for a shooting that killed six people and wounded 19 others. Police initially arrested a person they considered a second suspect but they later backtracked, saying he was a witness.

Mr. Bissonnette's online profile and school friendships revealed little interest in extremist politics until last March when French nationalist leader Marine Le Pen visited Quebec City and inspired Mr. Bissonnette to vocal extreme online activism, according to people who clashed with him.

1. Didn't they first try to blame the attack on Muslims?

Instead of banning Muslims from middle eastern countries where trump doesn't have hotels, they should be scrutinizing the most volatile and dangerous terrorists this country faces — armed-to-the-teeth, right wing males like Dillon Roof and this guy.

2. Yes.

Apparently Breitbart was frothing with joy over the Islamic terrorist attack and then the article mysteriously disappeared when the facts came out and we learned that the attacker was one of theirs.
