Unspeakable Evil in Nova Scotia

When I found out what happened yesterday I almost dropped my pop can. For years I drove past the denture shop. I even stopped at the Tim Horton's nearby, and, got into a stupid parking lot accident with my Subaru. (Protip: Don't try to do burnouts on ice).

More to the point, I frequented Moffats Pharmacy, where Al and Sue worked back in 2012, they provided prescriptions to my wife & her entire family, including me. 

 

 I struggle to understand why someone would murder innocent people. Clearly well thought-out, he had 2 police cars and even an RCMP uniform. It's scary to think this asshole was pulling people over, then shooting them point blank range and killing them without a second thought. Then burning their houses down. 

If he really wanted to die, why didn't he just off himself? Because he's a coward. And now, Nova Scotia, where I lived from March 2001  -- October 2012, was my home for many years. I would say it was my best years, because Theresa was with me.

Isolation is tough. I am starting to be concerned there may be more of these heinous attacks to come. I hope I am wrong. People are getting antsy and anxious, waiting out COVID-19 while tens of thousands die around you in nursing homes. 

So far, this fucking year sucks. I would like a goddamn re-do.  I feel so terrible for the people of Nova Scotia. No one deserves this. Especially such a lovely community as that one. It holds special memories to me. 

Yes, I did shed some tears when I watched the RCMP announce names on Live at 5. Who wouldn't? A goddamn 23 year veteran of the RCMP was shot dead. Families destroyed. Burning houses left behind. No reasonable person can put a correct answer to it. Why couldn't he keep it to video games? Killing is never an answer to anything except self defense. 

There are no words.
