Mass shootings in Nova Scotia

Up to 22 victims now..
Why, why, why did this idiot do this..
Unfortunately, we may never know, Boomer. The police have already stated he did not leave a note but they have his computer and devices so those may give a clue - but sometimes there are no answers. What a sickening tragedy.
Not soon enough.
Reminds me of that idiot incel who tried to get a cop to shoot him in Toronto after he ran people down.
Even if they hang a label on it, we won't know. A lable isn't understanding.
In systems as complex as individual human psychology and social psychology, certainty isn't possible. Even the "rules" have to come with huge asterisks, "not applicable in all cases."
Best we can do is make sure he doesn't re-offend. Got that taken care of.
For me, it's worse when it happens to Canadians. Nobody "deserves" it, but y'all deserve it even less than most.
Successful defense from a shooter? Yes. Regularly.
In a recent high-profile case, it happened in Dayton, Ohio. Some nutbar started shooting. It took the cops 24 seconds from the first shot to put him down, saving dozens.
That, mon ami, is professionalism.
Yup!

Either way, hell of a response and damn fine shooting.
Taking a life is always traumatic. I hope the cops are OK. They did the right thing, and did it well.
I'd need to look it up. Dayton wasn't a church. It was an entertainment district.
Kinda sad that my initial question was "which church shooting?" enit?
I thought you were talking about that church shooting!
I'm the one who got mixed up not you!

Never trusted the RCMP, this just certifies this..
This shows everyone, the police can't help you. We need a change in gun laws so Canadians can carry a small handgun for self defense.
Concealed carry in Canada.

Maybe just me, but If you have to hide it, you shouldn't carry it. When I carry my knife, it's on my belt, not hidden away under my coat.
