Hard Truth for Heterosexual Men: Crime and Terror
I was driving and tuned into the radio. When I heard about a campus shooting, I thought, “Where in the USA did that happen?”
The story ended, the songs and commercials played. Then the news repeated and I heard it from the start. Canada. Quebec. Montreal. École Polytechnique
a man entered the engineering class, ordered the men out… and they left… then he shot the women.
some of the men couldn’t take it and killed themselves I read later
I had to pull over and stopped the engine; parked. I couldn’t believe it. I couldn’t breath. I had to just sit for a long time absorbing that this was imported to Canada.
I left the radio running on battery until the news repeated again. then I turned it off and just sat there and cried.
