Follow up on the 2018 terrorist attack in Toronto, where Alek Minassian drove a van into numerous pedestrians. He was charged with 10 counts of 1st degree murder and 16 counts of attempted murder. His trial is scheduled for Feb 2020. The police just released his confession.

The first 50 pages are primarily dull, procedural stuff. The only interesting bits I saw were that 1) he was special needs kid in high school, and 2) his parent immigrated from Iraq to Canada before he was born.

It's kind of depressing how unoriginal the defendant's thinking and lingo are. He's not much deeper than a human meme.pic.twitter.com/mQwxZznjCr

I've never read anything like that. Minassian's cold phrasing: "converting life status to dead status." The interrogator switching between elderly FB user to intimacy with 4chan and related sites' argot, getting M. past his refusal to answer with a dozen questions answered yes.
