Yesterday, when Toronto van attacker Alek Minassian was arrested, he was bald:
Today, in court sketches, he has a full head of hair. Here he is in a sketch published by the Associated Press and run by the New York Daily News:
Court sketches aren’t a high art, but in a different court sketch run by CNN, Minassian doesn’t look like the same person at all. I’ve included the captions on both the sketch below and the sketch above so that you can see that they’re supposed to be of the same person:
But in both sketches, as disparate as they are, he has a full head of hair. Was Minassian supplied a toupee in court today? Was he supplied two quite different toupees? Was he wearing a bald wig yesterday?
Or are authorities once again not being honest with us?
Again, I’m not saying that this is necessarily a jihad attack. But as oddities such as these court sketches multiply, we have to wonder what the Canadian authorities are trying to hide. And what else are authorities hiding when jihad attacks occur?
Rowena Muldal says
LOL .. so he has been whitened. (whitiefied)…. How not to show the CULT that he belongs to, and where the swine comes from. …. SO OBVIOUS! …. but heaven forbid the TRUTH be allowed to get out.
Jerome says
I’m glad you mentioned this, Mr. Spencer, I noticed the same thing.
If you zoom in, it also appears that he has an overgrown beard.
As you say, Mr. Spencer, those anecdotes aren’t evidence in themselves, but the fact that Canadian media seems to be covering up facts makes one lean towards the likelihood of it having been jihad.
Mike Beau says
This is Alek leaving court and as you can see it shows him with a buzz cut. While an early sketch released by the Canadian Press did depict Minassian as having more hair, creating “a five o’clock shadow.” the wire service later withdrew the image and released an updated version: https://twitter.com/TheTorontoSun/status/989331546720088064/photo/1?tfw_creator=http%3A%2F%2Ftwitter.com%2FiD4RO&tfw_site=buzzfeednews&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.buzzfeed.com%2Fishmaeldaro%2Ftoronto-van-attack-suspect-alek-minassians-hair-is-now-the
somehistory says
Curious. The other photo on the other story has him with a full head of hair. Making sense if they were taken years apart. Perhaps his “baldness” was the cover up and he had hair, but planned to appear bald and remove the cover later.
It will be interesting if further information comes to light.
Bob says
I can’t make a comment so I will here. He also has a full growth beard and middle eastern complexion. This is a cover up. Probably the CIA.
Bernie says
Fox News is saying he’s belongs to some group that’s upset they don’t get any interest from women. Very strange.
WPM says
Does he belong to a group that marries 9 year old girls, does honor killings to their daughters , beat their wives senseless for more sex, have up to 4 wives, rape strangers from outside the cult, have woman of the right hand as sex slaves, believe its ok to have sex with animals if you kill the animal after sex and sell the meat to the next village? I think there is one cult that is about 1400 years old that fits the bill !
Peterson says
Marrying six year olds. The story is that Mao married when the girl was six years and started penetrating sex when the girl became nine years old.
Rob Crawford says
I had no idea Mao was Muslim…
Estee Tabernac says
Sorry WPM. I hate to ruin your fantasy. He is an Armenian. He is Christian. Armenia was the first country to convert to Christainity. Do all Christians celebrate the end of the school year by running down people in a van? Do all Christains demand to have a policeman shoot them in the head? Am I seeing some undesiralble pattern of behavior among Christians? What’s next? Will they be burning witches at the stake or torturing non believers until they repent and convert? What is Christianity comming to?
Rufluc says
Estee, I think what WPM is suggesting is that this guy (Alek Minassian) could have been ‘body swapped’ for a Muslim, so as to take the focus off of the evil nature of Islam. There is much anecdotal evidence and history that supports this kind of skulduggery. Remember where this happened, and who heads the country.
Trudeau is a well known far leftist supporter and advocate for the Islamification of Canada and would go to any length to ‘cover up’ the truth of this latest atrocity, if it could hamper his perverted ideological intent in any way.
Say if this Armenian Minassian guy was a stooge for the Canadian government. A guy that did a deal with them for either a large sum of money, or if already an inmate of theirs did a deal for his own freedom (then deporting him back to Armenia).
I would suggest that nothing would be beyond the bounds of the leftist movement, to enable them to achieve their vile and treacherous agenda!

The Seljuk era Çifte Minareli Medrese (Twin Minaret Madrasa) in the city of Erzurum.
Islam began to make inroads into the Armenian Plateau during the seventh century. Arab, and later Kurdish, tribes began to settle in Armenia following the first Arab invasions and played a considerable role in the political and social history of Armenia.[2] With the Seljuk invasions of the eleventh and twelfth centuries, the Turkic element eventually superseded that of the Arab and Kurdish. With the establishment of the Persian Safavid Dynasty, Afsharid Dynasty, Zand Dynasty and Qajar Dynasty, Armenia became an integral part of the Shia Persian world, while still maintaining a relatively independent Christian identity. The pressures brought upon the imposition of foreign rule by a succession of Muslim states forced many lead Armenians in Anatolia and what is today Armenia to convert to Islam and assimilate into the Muslim community. Many Armenians were also forced to convert to Islam, on the penalty of death, during the years of the Armenian Genocide. Azeris and Kurds living in Armenia traditionally practiced Islam, but most Azeris have fled the country due to the Nagorno-Karabakh War. Approximately 1,000 Muslims live in Yerevan, and one 18th century Mosque remains open for Friday prayers. … There is, however, a minority of ethnic Armenian Muslims, known as Hamshenis.
WPM says
To Estee Tebarnac
1-Never said he was Islamic
2-Never said he convert or believe in any god
3-Never said he did it for his belief to please any god
4-Never said he came from any Moslem country
5-You though I call him Moslem ?
6-Why is that you presume I call him Moslem?
A-Could it be he fits the bill
B-Are there Christian or Christian groups burning non -Christian people in the last 300 years? When was the last Christian witch hunt?
C-Are the Jews forcing people to convert to become Jewish with the fear of death?
D-Are Buddhist running a campaign to turn everyone to a Buddhist through terror all over the world?
E- Is the Pope calling for to strike at the neck of unbelievers cut off every finger tips?
F-Do Rabbis preach to have hate towards unbelievers in there temples every Saturday and in their prays curse unbelievers? Do the Jews riot and attack non-Jews after they leave the Temple in rage? Does this happen anywhere in the world?
G-This man walks like a duck swims ,like a duck, quacks like a duck, if he is not a duck he is some kind of water foul who could easily be mistaken for a duck.
Chantal says
Estee, hum you need some history here. The turks who are muslims committed a genocide of 6 mllion + armenians/christians in the last century. As it is today, with muslims, they demand to convert muslim or die. So obviously, he could be one of the few descendants of victims. That is why he has an armenian name but most likely he is not christian. So yes there are many muslims with armenian names.
Second, the method used to zigzag on sidewalks to kill as many people as possible is typical islam. ISIS promised lots of terror attacks in Canada for 2018. ISIS is recruiting people full time through the internet to commit acts of terror. There has been 33,000 muslim terrorist attacks in the western world since 9/11.

A Reddit group. Members call themselves “incels” meaning involuntary virgins. He is a very strange guy. He might actually be mentally ill.
tim gallagher says
I heard something like that on the news too,Marco. There have probably been serial killers who would murder women because they are rejected by women. But the idea of some group of men, some cult like thing, these “incels,” is bizarre. Also, this guy just indiscriminately mowed down people. He wasn’t just aiming at women. This spate of terrorist attacks, where people mow innocent people down with vehicles, nevertheless, seems to me to be yet another evil contribution to the world from Islam. I’m pretty sure the first of these types of attacks were by MUslim terrorists. And most of the vehicle attacks have been by Muslim terrorists. Now, the idea of using vehicles to run people down is on the agenda and every nutcase is likely to decide to use this method. I believe Islam has brought nothing good to the world, but plenty of evil and this new method of terrorising and murdering people is just another evil brought to the human race from the vile imaginations of Muslim terrorists. But it will be used by all types of people from now on.
carpediadem says
Incels are bizarre, but unfortuantely real – and very unpleasant peopolle.
Estee Tabernac says
Oh I long for the good old days when an honest Christian would climb up on a water tower with a high powered rifle and express his feelings by shooting anyone within range.
This running down with a van business is just too cold and inhuman. Those damn van rentals have to be stopped.
Don genovese says
In the listed photo as he’s being arrested shows the standard kolin kapernick Islam beard and it’s awful funny that one hour after the arrest the Canadian trolls are on Twitter putting out propaganda about bizarre incels women haters who can’t get laid?? Bullsheit… Total bullshiet and given the fact that Trudeau in Canada controls the police story/media narrative and the fact that Islamic state has claimed responsibility along with the method of attack using a vehicle all common M/O of radical Islamic terrorists tells me this is not a man who couldn’t get laid… Also dude is foreign his skin is brown in his arrest yet much whiter in the pic the media put out now given the totality of these circumstances this is radical Islamic terrorist activity… But the liberals on Canadian news and on Twitter who spin propaganda all day will argue he’s Christian white supremacist as this will benefit Trudeau’s social enrichment agenda… Oh those Christians they aren’t getting laid so they run over women? None of the pics in the media are actual mug shots

Just a comment on the ridiculous and smart-arsed comment by Estee Tabernac about the good old days when some person would shoot people from a tower. All these evil ways of murdering people will continue, but this new fashion, direct from the Muslim terrorist playbook, of driving vehicles into crowds of innocent people is yet another, additional, evil way of murdering people. And now that it is on the agenda, brought to our once more peaceful way of life by mainly Muslim terrorists, all sorts of mentally ill people will think of carrying out such acts. It is changing our once more peaceful lives. Where I live, we now have bollards needing to be put up for public events, etc., something we haven’t needed until recently. It’s a rotten development in our society. Estee, your comment is a smart-arsed load of sh*t. In fact, I believe it’s the comment of a person with a very nasty attitude towards humanity..

If Minassian was an “incel” cult member, he could have found a loving home in Islam. The original “Incel” cult was invented by a misogynistic dwarf 14 centuries ago who justified rape/murder/slavery in the name of his ‘sock pocket’ god.

He said the portion of an eyewitness video where the suspect pointed at a police officer with an object was the man he knew.

It is our Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, who may be behind all this attempt to hide the identity of this terrorist. No description of his race or religion has been released. This leads me to conjecture that this man may be a recent convert to Islam and doing his best to prove his new faith. If it turns out that he is a muslim, Justin Trudeau’s political career is finished.
Ashley says
This is very weird. It clearly states that Minassian appeared in court today with a “shaven head” and yet the court sketch in the same article depicts the suspect with hair on his head.
http://nationalpost.com/news/alek-minassian
christianblood says
The worst thing is that in social media, Canadian muslims are bragging and celebrating calling this van attacker to be an Armenian Christian terrorist.
alex smythe says
Even if he is of Christian background, that doesn’t mean that he was motivated by Christianity to do this. About a decade ago, a Japanese social loner smashed a van into a crowd of people in the Akihabara electonics district of Tokyo, and got out and stabbed a number of others. He was arrested, and never claimed that he did it because he was a Buddhist, for example.
Plus, even if Minassian were motivated by extremist Christian faith, compare that to the number of violent Muslim “trucks of peace.” Moreover, Sikhs and other non-Muslims occasionally carry out so-called “honor killings,” but Muslims account for some 91 percent of those crimes worldwide.
Confused Christian says
Killing many innocent people at random for a few women he can not get at is an act of mindless violence which pales any comparison even with an animal.

I sense cover-up already in full play. Could be wrong but things already are not quite right about what Canadian authorities are attempting to present about this criminal act (act of war too?).
I mean who of sense and knowledge truly thinks that Canadians in charge will give us the full nine yards of truth? Toronto’s Mayor just yesterday, foolishly and annoyingly going on and on about “inclusivity,” serves as partial proof that obfuscation on a major scale is already in the works.
Meanwhile, ten people are dead and many critically injured. But, assuredly, dead and injured people take second place to political narratives, the chief one in our time being that Islam is a religion of peace and tolerance. Yes, this cretin who killed ten people might not have done it in the name of Islam but only a fool would think that what this monster did cannot, should not, perish the thought and all that, be tied to the ROP. In fact, not thinking that Islam was once again the most probable culprit here is indicative of foolhardiness (or lying) to a major degree. Yeah, just calculate in probabilities and thank you again, Islam, for NOTHING.
The Age of Nonsense inexorably marches on. No doubt.
And finally, shouldn’t we have “van control?” Just askin’.
Lebel says
If it looks like a Muslim and drives like a Muslim then its a Muslim. Period.
Canadian Media, German media, US media, everyone is in on it. Protecting the jihad is all they know.

Well its all over the news in Australia this morning that this guy was one of those red-pill/incel/Elliott Rodger style freaks. Some sad loser who wanted to watch the world burn due to his sheer frustration of being rejected for sex by the women he approaches.
I feel the same level of disgust and loathing and pure scorn for men like that, that I do for child molesters. Scumbag losers like him and Elliott Rodgers have a stratospheric level of self-entitlement, all wrapped up with chronic narcissism, a tonne of arrogance, a hell of a lot of selfishness and a good whacking dose of immaturity.
You’ve got to wonder at his thought processes here. Because mowing down a bunch of innocent people on the street as a means to enact his furious revenge against all those women who refused to play with his precious litte penis, is mind bogglingly pointless, senseless and utterly pathetic.
I have no idea what he hoped to accomplish by killing those innocent people – and then getting out of the van and running off, tying to escape. Did he think that this was somehow going to get him the sex he feels he so richly deserves and that every woman in his vicinity is absolutely required to give to him?
People like this – they are not fixable. And frankly he does not deserve the second chance after what he has done – and the reasons why he did it. Save everyone a lot of future-risk, drama, cost and grief and just take him around the back of the building and put two in the back of his head.

My guess, he probably believed he would get away but knew he might be seen by witnesses and recorded on surveillance cameras. He shaved only the top of his head hoping to be mistaken for a monk, and figured once it grew back no one would see the resemblance. Pure brilliance, may have even pulled it off so long as he rented the Ryder rental using a monks stolen ID and credit card.
Matthieu Baudin says
Perhaps his wig just fell off in the van or when he was thrown to the ground.
And in the end he may be just imitating the murderous rampages of recent Jihadis.

It is easy to ascribe this to jihad, religious fanaticism of some other sort, pure evil, etc. etc. & etc.
I recommend the National Post article attached to Ashley’s comments above. For anyone with even passing experience with Asperger’s Syndrome, which he apparently suffered from, the attack begins to be understandable. Add a lack of sexual interaction and the violence advocated by the Incel Movement and a complete picture begins to emerge. This may not be the answer but I think we will be able to discard the usual suspects who can likely take a deep sigh of relief.
There is no reason to believe it’s all a conspiracy that the National Post, the Mayor of Toronto, the Pope, the trustees of Sister Teresa’s Estate, etc. are all in on. Sometimes it really is mental problems — REAL mental problems. If so, and I believe it likely, then he is to be pitied.
For the Americans reading this Canadian authorities always take a long time in their investigations so don’t expect answers by Thursday — it doesn’t mean a cover-up.

Sexual perversion and depravity due to a normal interaction with females during adolescence is rife among muslim men.Due to the laws of Islam which heavily contols all such behaviour this problem will continue.The grooming of young girls for rape in the UK is just a direct consequence.

‘Due to a LACK of normal interaction is what I intended to write.

Maybe the bald photo has been photoshopped to remove his Kufa (that hat that Muslim men wear…it’s Kufa isn’t it?) so Islamophobic people don’t accuse an Armenian Muslim of jihad. But something smells of rot here, as usual.

I used to think that the purpose of having the news, was to inform people. Since Justin Trudeau has been the Prime Minister, we don’t have news anymore. It’s all “narrative” or propaganda. The propaganda goes like this: Muslims = Good; Canadians = Bad. Trudeau thinks he can just breeze through the job of being prime minister with looks, style and acting. He never thought he might need some real substance and he has very little of that. Any Canadian can tell you that Trudeau loves dictatorships. Someone needs to tell him that, no, he’s not Stalin and he can not run Canada like a dictator shovelling propaganda down the throats of Canadians. We’re sick of his “narrative” about the religion of peace, inclusivity, diversity, or whatever buzz words and catch phrases he wants to use. We don’t want to be part of his dream world.

I’m curious about this detail. I’ve read several reports that Minassian DID NOT KNOW HOW TO DRIVE.

He was obviously ISIS inspired, using a rented van to murder people.
Does it really matter what his religion is?
Hate is hate. Perhaps he didn’t need any religious instructions to perform his evil deed, which makes him worse than someone who has been brainwashed to hate.

I find it odd how fast the media was able to find people that knew this guy in school who was supposedly a loner, to get quotes from supposedly former classmates that could confirm that he had a mental illness. Just like the Melbourne car attacker several months ago, the media was almost immediately able to get out to he public that he had a mental illness (the guy was a muslim).
Allan Mandrowski says
All I know is that Minassian is an Armenian name and Armenians are one of the oldest Christians amongst us. So, find it very hard to believe that either a) the perp’s name is Minassian or b) Minassian did it and that it’s a jihad attack.

People 90 to 95 % of the time these types of vehicle attacks are inspired by Jihadi ideology but sometimes they are just the commoner gardener usual evil and insanity that is part of mankind, it is pretty obvious at this point this is not a Jihadi attack.

The reason that there are so many inconsistencies about this Minassian is clear. The Liberals are fabricating a profile of this individual. Why? Because they have big things to hide. The LIberals are intentionally doing this trying to confuse Canadians so we dont find out about the truth.
Grace Joy says
Apparently he belonged to a misogynist group. Incel = involuntary celebate; Chads are good-looking men; & Stacys go out with Chads. Know how Islm disguises itself to infiltrate groups & incite h8tred (BLM, feminists, antifa, etc.)? This group sounds made to order by Mohammed. Women spurn him, so he kils their husbands, fathers, & sons, & sxually enslavs them & their mothers & daughters. He beats them, covers them to protect his belongings from other men like himself. He can even thigh & have sx with his own infant daughters (& sons) if he wants. Female outer sx parts are to keep them “pure.” This is a religion & based on life & mind of a psychopath. It’s the epitome of an abusive relationship.
So. This misogynist group has learned from Islm. All these groups have. Problem is that Islm is trying to muddy the waters by inciting groups anonymously. BLM doesn’t advertise that its “leader” is Islm. Guys like this use Islm’s tactics & teachings; while disguising the motive of Islm. To switch blame to “whites.” The world needs to wake up: We’re running out of time.

Richard Courtemanche says
Noticed that as well and a shorter beard it seems. Jihadist sketch artist at work.
Rarely says
Come on guys. Certainly you can be original in coming up with conspiracy theories.
One track minds and paranoia.
Giacomo Latta says
As a Canadian I believe I have the answer to the sketch controversy. The sketch is probably from a previous accusation of murder. Of course he was freed to walk the streets on 10 $ bail then committed his van-on-the-sidewalk spree after shaving himself bald.
Ashley says
Why would a court artist submit a sketch from a prior court appearance?
Giacomo Latta says
Note to self: sarcasm is always wasted; must invent sarcasm emoticon one of these days.
Ashley says
LOL! Sorry about that, Giacomo…
Sam says
This is the suicidal self hate and white wash of evil who kills you. I am sure there are all kinds of technical terms for this sickness. I call it SICK. It is almost like fiction but real.
I wish people, who put all this effort to white wash evil Islam or any other America hating group, would spend a bit of energy to read and find out what this self hatred is all about.
Vladimir Poutine says
Need recent photo’s and eyewitness accounts from Court Room. But he is definitely BALD at time of arrest and looks to be a least 40 years old.
Carolyne says
And it appears in the photo of him getting out of the van, not only is he bald, but he has one of those Muslim beards that start low on the face and reach a shaggy length. It appears to be a beard to me, but it could, of course, be a shadow. There is no doubt he is bald. His head shines in the sun, even his forehead.
We know that certain governments in Western Europe defend Muslims to the detriment of their own citizens, i.e. in England even discussing Islam can get you several years in jail. It is not too far fetched to speculate that this has reached Canada’s government, too. This is not a conspiracy theory, it is not even a theory. It is the truth, especially about the UK and Sweden.
Rod says
Thank God, Carolyne, in the US (land of the free) the jails are overfilled with people, and it’s not because they were discussing Islam.
Lisa says
Listen This is a COVER-Up!!!! They are trying to hide the facts… So many contradictions. We should have one story one fact…. May God Almighty expose these Scumbags!!!
Nona says
Strangely enough, what came to mind at the word “incel” is “Assassins”, like the cult. Uhm.
Lebel says
Well done to RS & Co., he has once again managed to sell a sufficient amount of doubt to his readers to establish a conspiracy; he can disseminate a sufficient amount of this nonsense to sustain said conspiracy.
I understand why he needs to do this, the world of a jihadwatcher does not make sense without Islam as the visible and invisible hand behind all the world’s problems. Even one exception is problematic.
Linda says
Lebel, there is no conspiracy theory in this. People are only trying to determine the truth about what has been reported. How bad is news censorship in Canada? This bad: When something like this happens and I’m trying to get actual facts on what really happened, I have to inevitably turn to Jihad Watch to get the facts because many times, the Canadian media just won’t report the facts especially when the facts put Islam in an unfavourable light.
Trudeau jumps right into any police investigation sometimes before it’s even launched saying he doesn’t want extremism in Canada, or that Canadians are racist, or more drivel about diversity being out strength or inclusion or whatever other nonsense comes into his head. The media in Canada is heavily subsidized by the government, so they have to report stories the way Trudeau wants them reported or else, no more subsidies. Trudeau jumps in there to get ahead of the story with his own “narrative”. He does this ALL THE TIME, so you don’t know whether Canadian reports are really what happened or just what Trudeau wants you to THINK HAPPENED. I can give you so many examples of this that it makes me sick to think of them all.
So, don’t blame Robert Spencer or Jihad Watch for reporting the facts.
Sam says
That is what I do heer in USA too, turn to JW to see if there is a factual description of events. You can not trust media in USA, Canada, Australia. Europe and the rest of the world: just forget it.
Lebel says
I’m sorry Linda but that is a conspiracy theory. It is impossible for Trudeau to manipulate by himself all of Canadian media to hide the supposed Muslim identity of this man.
You are simply unable to accept that these things can happen outside Islam.
Ashley says
I appreciate your insights, Lebel.
This is what concerns me: Islamic terrorism was almost immediately discounted and yet a motive for this attack continues to be elusive.
Alek Minassian may have an Armenian name but I have no idea what he supports or where his allegiances lie.
He may be sexually frustrated and a raging misogynist. He may be mentally ill.
He rented a van, mowed down a bunch of people, and pleaded with an officer to kill him.
Just because he has no ties to international terrorism does NOT mean he isn’t a lone wolf acting on behalf of Islam.
Again, I appreciate your objective viewpoints.
Linda says
One troll supporting another troll.
Ashley says
I am not a troll, Linda.
Have a good evening.
Linda says
If you are not a troll, you were addressing one then.
You as well have a good evening.
Lebel says
To be fair you were also addressing me.
Now back to conspiracies.
Lebel says
Thanks for that.
As for this Alek. He could be a lone wolf but we don’t have evidence. All RS is providing is the same coverup conspiracy which is very convenient everytime reality does something he doesn’t like.
Ashley says
You are correct, Lebel. We don’t know what we don’t know.
We don’t know the motive. International terrorism hasn’t been entirely ruled out. Accomplices haven’t been entirely ruled out. It is an ongoing investigation.
We know Minassian deliberately steered a rental van into a Toronto crowd causing mass casualties. We know he wanted to be shot dead by a cop.
We have some weird cryptic FB post and we’ve been “treated” to the creepy dark world of the “Incel” scene.
This sure smells like jihad to me but I’ve been wrong before and will no doubt be wrong again.
I appreciate your measured approach of exercising restraint and not rushing to judgment. Admirable qualities in my book.
gravenimage says
Lebel likes to pretend that there is no threat of Jihad.
And this is calumny against Robert Spencer–he has never said that all the world’s problems are due to Islam–just Jihad and Shari’ah. Does Lebel have a problem with these things? Not that he has ever said.
Yitz says
The charges against him is 10 counts of first degree murder.15 counts of attempted murder.he should get death sentence.but the canadians will give him a jail sentence and free him in 3 months for good behavior.
Rarely says
Of course its a cover-up. Anything short of the authorities admitting that he was part of an Islamic plot masterminded by Iran’s military head in conjunction with Trudeau, May and Merkel under the direct orders of London’s mayor and Russia’s Putin is a cover-up.
Now where exactly was his father on November 22, 1963? Too young? OK his grandfather then.
Get real. Attempts to diffuse potential racial tensions in Toronto when it looked like a jihadist attack is interpreted as bowing down to islam.
Pick your fights and don’t fly off the handle at every opportunity.
mach37 says
What “he never said” – I have not seen any reports in which his comments have reported. As for the name being Armenian; same thing, no reports stating his ethnicity, only a lot of commenters jumping in and shouting “That’s an Armenian name!” So much assumption going on that’s based on circumstantial evidence.
jewdog says
Yes, very strange. It’s not likely that the court provided him a toupee. The face looks consistent, though. But who knows, with moonbat-in-chief Justin in charge the authorities may have wanted to spare him having to appear bald in photos, poor thing.
Carolyne says
When photographs of a person on one day show him to be bald, and on the next day artists depict him with a head of hair, it would be foolish not to notice it and even more foolish to deny it. But there are many fools in the world.
Linda says
Well here’s an absolute first for Canada: I listened to 11:30 a.m. news on a radio station and Trudeau was asked whether he’d look into misogyny in Canada because of the Minassian case. He said that he would not comment because the police investigation was on going. On-going police investigations and even court cases have never stopped him before. He has always just weighed in whether a police investigation or a court case was concluded or not, just like any smarmy dictator would. Maybe he reads Jihad Watch, too.
Giacomo Latta says
Very true, but the crime was not obviously against Muslims, flavour of the month among Trudeauites. It is not possible for him to learn anything such as the case when a young Muslim girl invented the removal of her hijab by an unknown supposed black. Trudeau railed against anti-Muslim sentiment until it was proven to be a hoax. His position then? Like the Media’s: sorry, got to go!
PerseusNS says
One sketch shows him with super short hair. You get stubble a day after you shave your head with no guard, even more noticeably so if you use a razor. I shave my head every couple days. I think the one sketch with longer hair was the artist inventing something.
Politicianophobia says
October, 2019, hopefully every 184 of the Liberal liars will be fired, and we will have some stability again. Until then, God help us all.
warren Smith says
Looks pretty bald in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LA-YD6sTcP4
Bindon Blood says
What made me suspicious was his willingness to die ,almost pleading to be shot by police. I wonder if the allure of 72 virgins was driving his death wish?
Linda says
I would strongly recommend that Canadians get their news from reliable sources and not the Canadian media outlets which are subsidized by the Canadian government. This is because the Trudeaus are heavily into censorship, spin, propaganda and narrative for their globalist goals. You can plainly see this in the way that Justin doesn’t wait for the law to deal with offenders, but he jumps right in with his own biases to spin the narrative of any crime that may have terrorist overtones before police investigations are over or court cases are wrapped up. Plus, he is so ready to blame Canadians for being “racist”, that he comes out with statements accusing them of racism even at hoax stories like the hijab hoax earlier this year. Then, when it’s proven to be a hoax, he will not apologize for jumping to conclusions because he even calls a hoax, “part of a pattern” of racism. (A hoax is a hoax and is part of nothing. In addition, his brother Alexandre Trudeau works producing state propaganda videos for Iran, which he’s very likely paid a princely sum to do. Therefore, I do not think we are going to get anything closely approximating the truth while Justin Trudeau is the prime minister of this country.
Rarely says
Great conspiracy theories folks.
IF the gov’t doesn’t disclose his religion within 3 days its a cover-up.
IF the media prints anything you don’t want to hear its a cover-up.
IF politicians try to prevent people from jumping to the exact conclusions many here are jumping to then they are muslim supporters and its a cover-up.
IF he’s a muslim it is obviously jihad.
IF he’s NOT a muslim then he was inspired by them.
IF he’s a Christian he’s sympathetic to islam and doing this on their behalf.
Its ok to be skeptical but this goes way past. It’s not very open minded and just a touch bigoted.
Ashley says
Please don’t paint with such a wide brush, Rarely.
There ARE at least a few folks here that want the unvarnished truth wherever it may lead.
I don’t have a dog in this fight. I have no vested interest that this incident be ruled jihad.
I’m not familiar with Canada, her government or her media outlets. I know our MSM here in the States has questionable agendas and I rarely trust the rubbish I’m being spoon fed.
I get most of my news right here. I have the utmost respect and admiration for Robert’s work and tireless dedication but I don’t always agree with the man. I find the occasional robust, civil debate refreshing to read. I rarely engage in such exchanges as I’m not nearly as savvy as most here.
If we were all on the same page at the same time things would get mighty stale.
I am here to learn, not to blindly follow.
Rarely says
Glad to hear. Keep at it.
Robert says
THE SPIN HAS BEGUN. It is protocol and actually law in Canada that citizen’s can’t identify the religion of the perpetrator of such events. Witnesses describe the event as a deliberate attack. We know from similar events that “vehicular jihad” is called for by ISIS and other jihad groups. Alex Jones points out in the following video that his surname, heavy accent, and headgear indicate that he is of middle-eastern Islamic heritage.
https://www.infowars.com/identity-released-of-man-who-used-truck-to-kill-10-in-toronto/
Some things not reported:
1. This was a premeditated attack not an incident! Alek Minassian consciously followed the pattern called for by ISIS and related groups.
2. Did the van rental company perform terrorist screening as is now required by vehicle rental companies.
3. The van attack took place in front of a large storefront Christian church. Some aerial shots show this.
4. The van stopped in front of an Islamic storefront where Alek Minassian attempted a “suicide-by-cop” martyrdom.
Some things that don’t add up:
1. His facial recognition characteristics on social media don’t match up with the constantly repeated video of the police take-down. Notice the shape of his head from a side view. Also, note his hair and skin colour.
2. His visual age does not match the social media images and media reports. Is this fake news? Fake social media profiles? He looks considerably older than the 25 year old student he is portrayed to be.
3. A CBC report that implies this was MGTOW (Men Going Their Own Way) Terrorism. However, this event is contra to the philosophy of MGTOW, an anti-feminism “movement”. Later it was reported that he was Incel and Autistic. Note in the following video that Ishmael Daro (guess his heritage) of Buzz Feed is called in as an expert.

Linda says
It is absolutely ludicrous that the religion of any perpetrator can’t be reported by law.
Green Infidel says
The Guardian reports your “conspiracy theory” on this, in an article about how the “far right” report the Toronto attacker was a jihadi. But neglect to explain how you didnt claim he was a jihadi:

This is his picture while being booked at Toronto detention centre. The baldness does show. The court sketcher did a lousy job.
