Remembering the Ecole Polytechnique massacre | CTV Montreal

RIP.

i remember the article about that dude was in my grade 12 shortstory book. Was so weird doing a paragraph about that dude and his unstable mental heath. I will remember the women.

:pokerface:

Still remember Virginia Tech from a couple of years ago.

RIP.

They gave away white roses at BCIT on the anniversary of the massacre.

^ I remember they did that at Kwantlen and SFU as well.

At Kwantlen they have a little memorial with candles, etc...they always have a little ceremony today.

Not sure about SFU.

most members on here were probably still in diapers when this occurred
i have never heard of it until now..rip to the victims.

I was 9 when it happened....I vaguely remember talking about it during "current events" in elementary school.

yeah 22 years ago i was 8 months old :lol

Sad day to remember

I was 8 but I remember it being a sad event. Later I remember my dad wasn't looking forward to stricter gun laws he knew would come especially since the gunman used the same mini-14 he has.

There is a decent film on the event called Polytechnique which came out a few years ago. Its filmed in black and white from various perspectives. Its a similar style to the film Elephant, a fictional tale of a HS shooting.


EDIT: here's the trailer for the film

Wow...that trailer is gut-wrenching. Not sure I could sit through the film.

That Moby song always makes me sad for some reason. Good choice.

Thanks for posting :)

Gun control bullcrap.

Today at Virginia Tech there was a shooting.. last time I checked 2 people was found killed and the gunner was still on the brawl.
