A driver plowed a car into a crowd at a street festival celebrating Filipino heritage in Vancouver on Saturday night, killing at least nine people and injuring others.
Some of those attending the festival helped arrest the suspect at the scene, who police identified as a 30-year-old man.

“It’s something you don’t expect to see in your lifetime,” Kris Pangilinan, a Toronto-based journalist, told Canadian public broadcaster CBC. “[The driver] just slammed the pedal down and rammed into hundreds of people. It was like seeing a bowling ball hit — all the bowling pins and all the pins flying up in the air.”
He continued, “It was like a war zone… There were bodies all over the ground.”
... What? I'm taking the piss out of your argument that the tool isn't relevant. You tried to bring "fists" into this as a comparison. Unless you're willing to say that I could go out right now into a crowd of people and kill eleven and wound twenty with my bare hands like I'm the Internet badass from the Navy SEALs copypasta, then you're absolutely full of it and are just running with the recently popularized bad-faith argumentation strategy of "never play defense".
Do you or do you not believe that it is possible for me to go out into a crowd of people of some description unarmed, then kill eleven people and wound twenty with – your words, not mine – "my fists". Are you actually that deluded, or were you mistaken in comparing a car attack to a fist attack?
