Would you accept a complete news blackout on this Conn. shooting?

[Slippy]

Do you hear about this kind of thing happening in Canada?

Never. Well - that's not entirely true.

Sept. 13, 2006: Dawson College, Montreal

A young man opens fire outside Dawson College, a CEGEP serving about 10,000 students in downtown Montreal, and then continues the rampage inside the school.

Witnesses describe seeing a tall skinny youth with a Mohawk haircut walk into the cafeteria shortly before 1 p.m. ET carrying a large gun.

The shooter, Kimveer Gill, 25, later kills himself in a confrontation with police inside the school. One woman, 18-year-old Anastasia DeSousa, are killed and 19 people wounded.

To my knowledge though, never in an elementary school, and this is the only one I'm aware of in Canada.

more dave lies

probably watching right now

I'm watching Hardball on MSNBC, and I'm getting too much of this shit. I want politics, damnit.

Oh, your precious 2nd Amendment, kiss that shit goodbye, babykiller.

Not reading the thread, but yes. Right now it's all about sensationalism and making a celebrity of the piece of shit who murdered those kids. Nothing can be salvaged at this point.

Best post thus far.

The news media was so irresponsible in reporting this. They just ran with any tidbit they heard without checking sources or verifying. They even had the guy's name wrong, for christ's sake. First his mom was a teacher, then she was a sub, then she wasn't a teacher at all. It sickens me that they want to be first so badly that they throw out journalistic integrity.

I wanted to be a mass media murderer each time I saw one of the little children interviewed.

And, yes, I think they need to de-emphasize the killer somehow. I truly believe that this feeds into some sick people's minds to go down in a blaze of glory.

MLB bans the coverage of fans running on the field and it pretty much stopped.

Frankly I'm disappointed with Captain Janks...

Do the perpetrators of these types of crimes commit them because they KNOW they will be frontpage news for weeks?

If the media choose to report the story and get the fuck out for stories like this, would the perp's reconsider the action? :

I'm just wondering if this kind of insanity is happening in other countries. I've heard it isn't like it is here.

Can't say I was disappointed more than relieved, but I was definitely waiting for it...

I listened to a forensics dr. today, and he felt that yes, that's part of it.

Hold on....everyone shut the fuck up.....MSNBC is talking about this Adam Lanza douchebag.


Fucker was a Vegan.

The guy sounds like Schtoopy. :



I'm reporting Schtoopy to South Carolina authorities, and letting them know that he will be a future problem.

i think these incidents are reported as suicides when they occur by French Canadians. Probably because they point the business end of their guns towards themselves to be sure the gun is working.

there it is!!! not eating meat makes you mean!

we have a causal relationship everyone can believe!

[Billy]

Or do you need as much information as you can get?


IMHO, I'd be totally fine if I didn't hear another word about this incident. Whats done is done, and there is no one in custody. It's over. Let the people heal as best they can now.

It was funny when Obama pretended to wipe a tear away.

It's hard to even find when you look it up. I think people just secretly approve of it, when it comes to the French Canadians.

Read the link, babygirl. It DOES happen in other countries, but nowhere NEAR the capacity of the States.

Shit...see? This is the one I was actually looking for:

The École Polytechnique Massacre, also known as the Montreal Massacre, occurred on December 6, 1989 at the École Polytechnique in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Twenty-five-year-old Marc Lépine, armed with a legally obtained Mini-14 rifle and a hunting knife, shot twenty-eight people before killing himself. He began his attack by entering a classroom at the university, where he separated the male and female students. After claiming that he was "fighting feminism", he shot all nine women in the room, killing six. He then moved through corridors, the cafeteria, and another classroom, specifically targeting women to shoot. Overall, he killed fourteen women and injured ten other women and four men in just under twenty minutes before turning the gun on himself.[1][2] Lépine was the son of a French-Canadian mother and an Algerian father, and had been physically abused by his father. His suicide note claimed political motives and blamed feminists for ruining his life. The note included a list of nineteen Quebec women whom Lépine considered to be feminists and apparently wished to kill.[3]

Since the attack, Canadians have debated various interpretations of the events, their significance, and Lépine's motives. Many feminist groups and public officials have characterized the massacre as an anti-feminist attack that is representative of wider societal violence against women.[4][5][6] Consequently, the anniversary of the massacre has since been commemorated as the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women. Other interpretations emphasize Lépine's abuse as a child or suggest that the massacre was simply the isolated act of a madman, unrelated to larger social issues.[7][8] Still other commentators have blamed violence in the media[9] and increasing poverty, isolation, and alienation in society,[10] particularly in immigrant communities.[11]

The incident led to more stringent gun control laws in Canada.[12] It also introduced changes in the tactical response of police to shootings, which were later credited with minimizing casualties at the Dawson College shootings.[13]

Montreal - again. I'm just sayin', Nan........

Last year the US had almost 11,000 gun homicides. Canada had 58. England had 8. The difference? It's illegal to own a handgun here, and we're not complaining.
