On June 6th, four were killed in in a ‘hate crime’ hit-and-run in London, Ontario, Canada.
Police said the victims were two women aged 77 and 44, a 46-year-old man and a 15-year-old girl. A nine-year-old boy was seriously injured and is recovering in hospital.
A 20-year-old man is accused of the killing, as well as injuring a child in the hit-and-run incident.
Police told the CBC that the fatal crash was a hate crime and that victims were “targeted because of their Islamic faith.”
Nathaniel Veltman, 20, of London, has been charged with four counts of first-degree murder and one count of attempted murder, according to the CBC.
Veltman may also face terrorism charges, Detective Superintendent Paul Waight said.
“There is evidence that this was a planned, premeditated act, motivated by hate,” Waight said. “We believe the victims were targeted because of their Islamic faith.”
Authorities said Veltman was charged with first-degree murder because the crime was “pre-planned and premeditated.” Police reportedly gathered a “variety of sources,” including online information to determine the crime was hate-motivated.
London Mayor Ed Holder said the murder was the worst crime of its kind in London’s history.
“This was an act was mass murder, perpetrated against Muslims, against Londoners and rooted in unspeakable hatred,” Holder said. “This act of unspeakable hatred, this act of Islamophobia, must be followed by acts of compassion, acts of kindness, acts of empathy, acts of solidarity – justice – and, above all else, love.”
Sunday’s attack came amid rising concerns about Islamophobic attacks in provinces across Canada and widespread calls for authorities to tackle racism, hate-motivated violence, and the prevalence of far-right groups.
Eyewitness Paige Martin told reporters a black truck blasted past her and ran a red light, and then she came upon the scene and saw “chaos”. First responders were running to help, a police officer was performing chest compressions on one person, and three other people were lying on the ground.
To the Muslim community in London and to Muslims across the country, know that we stand with you. Islamophobia has no place in any of our communities. This hate is insidious and despicable – and it must stop.

The National Council of Canadian Muslims, a national advocacy group, said it was “beyond horrified” by the deadly attack.
“This is a terrorist attack on Canadian soil, and should be treated as such. We call on the government to prosecute the attacker to the fullest extent of the law, including considering terrorist charges,” the group’s CEO, Mustafa Farooq, said in a statement.
“This loss of a family, the loss of a child in our community because of Islamophobia – this is a sorrow that will run deep for a long time. But let that sorrow be the ground where we stand for justice, and stand for change.”

The muslims you hate.so.much are the foot soldiers of your empire.
What you call.muslims we call.mercenaries.
It is YOU the problem not our muslim brothers and sisters but your WHITE ASS!
More ignorance, than hate. He states “The guy in UK Anjem Choudary should be executed. Dead on the spot he doesn’t deserve to live between people” and that is where my support for his comment ends, but I will add; the Al – Saud family playing the elite’s game of funding terrorism around the World … need to be thrown to the people of your Muslim brothers and sisters.
Ontario eh?
next!
Remember Abu Hanza? MI5 thought it was ok for him to radicalise muslims in London whilst they talked to him in private. This was so because MI5 needed a muslim attitude thermometer to gauge the outrage of muslims to the warmongering going on in their respective homelands by the British gov’t.
Gov’t spooks didn’t seem to mind the radicalisation either, as it just fueled their ‘war on terror’ and provided grist for the mill. The real enemy are those behind the warmongering, the radicalisation, and the propaganda.
Muslims were blamed for Sept 11th, when there are zionist fingerprints all over it.
“…………………… zionist fingerprints all over it.”
ABSOLUTELY correct which is why Muslims always get the blame.”Divide and Contriol” a Zionist tactic to get STUPID Christians and Muslims fighting each other while Zionist sell the Military Equipment and make fortunes.
Think, Middle East.
Anjem Choudary is on the pay roll for MI6 loser
This was a JEW TERRORIST named Nathaniel Veltman, you moron. The biggest threat to humanity are “white” racist losers and Jew scum.
The Canadian gov’t must be pleased that their propaganda and divisive spook operations on the Canadian public are working as they should.
Indeed your right and the U.S. is no better as the media pushes nothing but hate with their anti-China propaganda, It’s going to be a grand day when the U.S. becomes nothing more than a regional power and that’s not far away.
Indeed your right and the U.K. is no better as the media pushes nothing but hate with their anti-China propaganda, It’s going to be a grand day when the U.K. becomes “a nothing” and we the people take back control.
I mean hate grows and grows as long we have “people” like Wahhabis, Zion, and Nazi.
Real normal Muslims get killed by – Zion, Wahhabi, and Nazi.
Real Jews get attacked and killed by -Nazi, Zion (remember Iraq).
Real Christians get attacked and killed by – Zion (Syria), Wahhabi (Iraq-Syria).
Zion – Wahhabi – Nazi never attack each other…funny huh, mainly because they worship the same “God” good old Satan.
Twenty year old boys dont have experience to plan an action like that.
So…….the usual suspects yes? Passports found and all that.
The show is only starting
They have 150 million Africans to dump everywhere
The rare sight of an anglo fighting back against the Kalergi Plan. Interesting indeed.
The murder and hate crime charges will make sure he never sees the light of day again.
Terrorism charges are bullshit though. This was not a political act … this was a 20 year old asshole acting on impulse. They’ll use the terrorism angle as justification to electronically surveil everyone he was in contact with and everyone they were in contact with …. basically Canada and anyone Canadians know outside the country.
