15 years ago, in Montréal

[Jazzzoline]

15 years ago, a guy in his early 20's entered the Polytechnique school in Montréal with an automatic gun, walked to a class then shouted :" the girls, you stay here, the guys get out of here", which they did. Then he shooted the girls. He walked to the cafeteria, stabbed a few others then suicide himself.
He killed 13 of them.
Later we learned that he tried to attend that Hi-Tech specialised school and has been refused.
His motive was that women liberation has detroyed his life, so he had to give it back.
He was from another country, one of those countries who don't let women be.
Some girls, more young women, has been seriously harmed. One guy suicide afterward; he couldn't live with the guilt of not trying to defend his friends.

thanks for the christmas story, jazzoline!

Well, if it may help your vote in the gun poll.

I've always maintained that anyone interested in killing a bunch of people and then committing suicide should feel free as long as he starts with himself. They always get the order wrong.

So true...

[tippy]

yeah the school was wrong to deselect the likes of him. peoples is sick some time. How do you deal with that kind of logic?

[Jazzzoline]

Many people try to attend that school, but allas only a few of them get admitted. They select people with their previous score in school.
The guy probably thought: "If women stay at home, I could have had my chance".

Yeah, it's rough being a caucasian male. You have, like, so few choices available to you. One little thing goes against you and you're pretty much on the road to ruin, sickness and an early death.

[tippy]

Maybe we should euthanize people who are stupider than girls. Oh wait, that would be like half the population...

You're absolutely right, Finch. How thoughtless and cold of me.

How 'bout this:


Man, I bet if guns were outlawed he'd likely have killed less then half of those thirteen girls only being able to use his trusty hunting knife.


Better?

A psycho with a gun is a psycho with a gun. Same goes for a responsible and law abiding gun owner.

Oh, let me guess. Sweden? No, probably not. Brazil? Nah. Australia! Hmm...this is really hard. Country doesn't like women and the man was willing to kill himself and others, huh.

Gosh, I'm stumped. Was it Greenland?

First we must ask ourselves, "don't let women be what"?

[Monte Smith]

Hey! How come no big doofus loudmouth American slob ever made a film called "Bowling for Montreal?"

[bostontricky]

Wouldn't it be "Curling for Montreal"? "Jesus of Montreal" is already taken.

Don't go there, man. Scott is not susceptible to logic when it comes to his Constitutionally Protected Right To Shoot As Many Motherfuckers As Possible Before The Police Snuff Him.

I hate you BoTrick, I really hate you..................

Marc Lepine, who slaughtered the fourteen female engineering students and wounded thirteen others at Montreal's Polytechnic Institute of Engineering was an Algerian, who dreamt of entering the engineering program at the institute. He was denied a chair and blamed the female students who were admitted. His scholastic record was not up to the standard that the engineering students, male or female, who were at the institute's were.
Today, the students, indeed the whole country mourns for those who died that day, probably with the exception of the self-inflicted death of Marc Lepine, who, according to those who knew him, hated women and blamed them for his not being able to succeed.
So, this was misogynism at it's very worst and my hope is that there was a lesson learned as a result of this tragedy, fifteen years ago. That's my hope, but it is only one of thousands of acts of violence against women.

I do not mean this to be sarcastic or funny in any way:

What lesson do you think could be learned from this?

[Monte Smith]

Marc Lepine, born Gamil Gharbi.



A mere coincidence that he resembles the turbaned figure in my avatar.

[Monte Smith]

I find this very annoying: the Wikipedia has a fairly good cross-reference practice with hyperlinks. This is what they list for Mark Lepine aka Gamil Gharbi:

Categories: 1964 births | 1989 deaths | Canadian criminals | Quebec people | Canadian historical figures | Mass murderers | Quebec history | Suicides

Nothing about Islamic terror or the similar attacks on women by male cowards in Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, or Nigeria. That's not important or even establishable by intellects who more keenly pursue links between Quebec history and Suicides.

Give me, give women, a fucking break.

Yeah, Monte. Why didn't you ever make the film? I've asked myself that over and over.

[Dennis Gonzalez]

Oh, sorry, Monte. I forgot:

Oh, and I must add:" Give me, give women, a fucking break." Beautifully said!

And complain about the slaughter of French Canadians?!

[Monte Smith]

Certainement oui!

It was a horror. And if I was a film maker, that'd touch me.

Only if you were a film maker?
