On Newstalk 1010, Duffield told John Moore he is “more mad at the police than (the bomber).

Looks like the cabbie went full retard.



Seems like someone can't step in dogshit these days without a gofundme page springing up.

“This was a fluid situation with resources moving to get in place quickly,” said a source, including the potentially unexpected taxi approaching the home they were trying to surveil.

There were only a few steps from the residence to the taxi and very little time for tactical unit officers to swoop in for an arrest.

“They did the very best they could under incredible circumstances,” said a source, who added the OPP and Strathroy-Caradoc Police Service were also extremely supportive in backing up the RCMP.

Seems like a great explanation to me. Cabbie is lucky he didn't get shot for being a dummy and reaching over for something when police were pointing guns at him.

"It was that seat and those cigarettes that saved my ass, no cop."

Irony abounds - saved by a pack of smokes.  He almost became collateral damage.

 

[PuckChaser]

If the device didn't kill the guy wearing it/right beside it, I don't think the cabbie had much to worry about. Looks like a pretty low explosive yield, didn't even break out any windows with frag/blast wave.

The cabbie was saved by Aaron Driver being an idiot, and piss poor terrorist, not his pack of smokes.

I wonder if the cab will go back in service? By the sounds of it, Terry won't be hacking any time soon, if ever.

I wonder if AD had not armed it, or at least inserted the detonator in the explosives. That might explain the lack of damage to the cab and the occupants.

 

[ModlrMike]

Perhaps just the initiator charge?

 

[mariomike]

I betcha he makes more money and gets more support than some CAF members who have been in much larger explosions in which they picked up their friend's body parts afterwards.

Better than nothing, but still a long way to go!

A Telethon maybe?

I noticed it mentions he has PTSD (including in the gofundme statements: how awful of you to have PTSD) did I read somewhere that he self- diagnosed himself because he can`t afford a doctor to diagnose him

He can't afford a free doctor that his taxes pay for? Or he can't afford to pay a doctor to confirm his webMD diagnosis?

 

[jollyjacktar]

In his interview with CBC Radio,  he said he has been prescribed three medications following this event.  One is for anxiety,  he claims he cannot afford to fill the two major scripts.  He also said he tried to return to work two days after but found he couldn't go through with it.  He thinks he may never be able to work as a cabbie again.

I have no doubt he'll have some issues to deal with after this.  Good luck to him at any rate.

Here's a CTVNews "exclusive" interview with the RCMP with some amplifying details:

http://www.ctvnews.ca/video?playlistId=1.3036611

Some takeaways:

- Detonated bomb in taxi, got out, was taken down outside the cab.
- Recipe for HME found inside the home, likely not commercial explosives
- Figured out it was him, because he wore the same balaclava in the video as he did when given the peace bond in Winnipeg
- House was surveilled for a few hours before taxi showed up
- Cab pulled up at 1618, terrorist exited residence approx 1 minute afterwards

Granted, cabbie likely went immediately into the black after the incident, and he recalls waiting 5 minutes when it was realistically 60 seconds.

Sounds like an "Ambulance Chaser" got a hold of him.

"Suicide by Cop"?

Aaron Driver's dad believes alleged terrorist wanted 'suicide by cop’
http://www.ourwindsor.ca/news-story/6817613-aaron-driver-s-dad-believes-alleged-terrorist-wanted-suicide-by-cop-/
Wayne Driver said his son, shot and killed by police in Strathroy last week, left a note before his death

The father of a suspected terrorist shot dead by police in Strathroy, Ont. last week believes his son didn’t want to kill anybody other than himself when he set off a homemade explosive in the backseat of a cab as Mounties pulled their guns on him.

Note the fact that most probably the bomb didn't go off, just the detonator(s) and the timeline which makes the taxi's arrival and Driver's exiting the house happen within a minute of each other.

Announced today that Union Station was the target,

I think anyone blowing up Union Station would be doing Toronto a favour. What a disastrous looking piece of architecture that is. TO could rebuild something that would at least look more inviting.  ;D

 

[jollyjacktar]

Once again, I am reminded and thankful that piece of shit was stopped before any innocent lives were taken.

Remember Terry Duffield?

Cabbie sues RCMP, police forces for failing to protect him in Ontario terror bombing

“The defendants knew, or ought to have known, that in putting Terry in harm’s way and failing to intervene earlier, Terry’s safety, health and well-being would likely be harmed,” the claim states.

Yes, this is necro-post.

But, that civil suit is in today's news, in case anyone is interested,
