They released his name. It was the man's own 34-year old son.
Yeah, wasn't his name Gamil Gharbi, but for the sake of multiculturalism, the press always referred to him with his adopted French name?
Loner, champion misogynist and Canada's highest-count spree killer.
Marc Lepine's father Liess Gharbi was an Algerian immigrant, a Muslim who taught his boy how to hate women. Not that he particularly cared about his son, whom he considered little more than a nuisance. People were generally shocked how Liess behaved towards his wife and children -- not only the wife beatings, but also little things such as locking Marc and his sister in their bedroom (complete with portapotty), in the name of preserving "peace and quiet" of the household. It's those little things that count.
Lepine's story is interesting not for the massacre itself, but because it has been co-opted by special interest groups to achieve their own ends -- the anti-gun lobby and women's rights advocates. For a decade, certain critical facts escaped the attention of the Canadian public, among which were Lepine's ancestry and upbringing.
Lepine used a Sturm Ruger Mini-14 hunting rifle to kill 14 women and wound 13 others. Since Canada's law did not allow any gun that was "firearm of a kind commonly used for hunting or sporting purposes" -- which the Mini-14 certainly was -- the law had to be amended to say that guns may not be banned "if, in the opinion of the Governor in Council, the thing to be prescribed is reasonable for use in Canada for hunting or sporting purposes." In other words, Mark Lapine's massacre was used as a pretext by the Canadian government to pass a law in which any weapon they didn't like is subject to ban. Including the Mini-14, which by any reasonable definition, is an ordinary hunting rifle.
Mandatory gun registration also came about as a result of Lepine's massacre. At a cost of a billion dollars, some (but by no means all) Canadian guns were placed on a list. The public was not any safer than it was before, and that billion dollars could have put 10,000 more police on the street instead. When considering this figure, note that it took police forty-five minutes to arrive on the scene at L'Ecole Polytechnic.
Lots of jewellery in his face, too.
Sounds like a punk type.
Dressed all in black with a black cape.
A crime's been done, and the finger points to a Muslim once again..
Live coverage on CFRB radio:

Jihadists are trained to blend in.

Bump -- leave it to the 'progressives' to turn a blind eye to the actual cause of such events (in this case Islamic hatred of women) and instead use them as an excuse to grab more power for themselves.
Carry laws in the US vary by state. In CO I believe it is legal. There have been questions on city ordinences in variation with state laws, but again this varies by state.
My reaction is gun laws don't work as Canada is proving, once again.
Each state has different rules about CCW on campus....most would require you to register with University police also
Thank you!

Perps targeted the "Jew cafeteria."
Just heard that one of the gunman shot people in front of two officers. Obviosuly the school police don't cary guns.
Most shooting took place in the Atwater Market cafeteria...nicknamed the Jew Caf. (According to Jewish caller)
