This kind of thing has never happened before, and the gunman only got
as
far as he did because his actions took everyone by surprise. No one
expected anything like this to happen, and it takes some time for
people
to get it into their heads that it really is happening, and they need
to
act.-

In Quebec 1984, "Denis Lortie (born March 10, 1959) is a former
Canadian army corporal. In 1984, he stormed into the National Assembly
of Quebec building and opened fire with several firearms, killing
three Quebec government employees and wounding 13 others."

Two C-1 Submachine guns (9mm NATO)
Inglis pistol (9mm)

Yes, I remember that, but it was 30 years ago, and it was in a different
building. Quebec has it's own government (just like each province has),
and the Quebec government is called the National Assembly. The shooting
yesterday occured in the building which houses the federal government of
Canada. (we have too many governments governing us)

Still, if something happened 30 years ago, by now our guard is down. I
think it's only North and South Korea that still have their guard up
against each other after, what, 65 or so years now?

But, information about the shooter is now coming out. Apparantly he was
living in a homeless shelter in Ottawa for the past few weeks, and
people that knew him say he was battling a drug addiction. Those people
are saying that he may have realized that he was hopelessly addicted and
decided to "commit suicide by cop". Apparantly, his mother, who also
lives in Ottawa, says that she spoke with him a few weeks ago, that that
was the last time that she had any contact with him for about 5 years!
That, to me, indicates a completely dysfunctional family when a son and
his mother go for that long without any contact whatsoever. He had
accumulated a long criminal record in British Columbia and was well
known to police there.

Long story short, this guy seems to have been a train wreck waiting to
happen his whole life.

His face book posting and the fact he purchased a car the day before
would seem to indicate he was Aok except for the whole gotta kill
infidel thingy.
