      We've reached a pivotal point in the Alexandre Bissonnette police interrogation video at his sentencing hearing. “Why did you chose that place?” the cop asks. "I wanted to save people." Bissonnette answers. From what? "Terrorist attacks."

      "Everything that happened, in Europe, in Canada, the United States. I told myself I could do something good," the killer says.

      The officer asks Bissonnette if Donald Trump is in line with his values. The killer asks for clarification. Say on immigration? "On that, sure."

      Was there a moment you started thinking about this? the officer asks. The Parliament Hill shooting, Bissonnette replies. And the truck attack in Nice. "I didn't want them to come kill my family."

      On January 29, the day of the attack, came a trigger. Bissonnette tells his police interrogator. He was watching news coverage of Donald Trump's Muslim ban and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's subsequent welcoming message.

      You might want to compare the rate of gun violence in Canada to the United States. It's much lower in Canada.

          Yeah but that’s, like, stats and math and stuff, it’s, like, imaginary numbers and abstractions. [random emoji in place of an actual argument]

          Cons don't do stats or logic. If they can cherry pick one example a decade that's enough to wash the blood of thousands of innocent Americans off their hands. Except it's really not, and eventually their conscience will catch up.
