A Trail of Chaos, Victims and Anquish


Like other Canadians across the country, I cannot fathom the tragedy of Canada’s worst mass shooting that struck the beautiful province of Nova Scotia last weekend.

Words do not seem sufficient. My heart and condolences go out to all those directly affected. Life will never be the same.

A friend and resident commented, ‘You never want to be part of a news story as it never turns out well. Nova Scotia will be reeling with this for a long time to come.’

Having never fired a gun in my entire life can't wrap my head around senseless violence of any kind. Just mind boggling how anyone can be so evil & twisted.

It is a sad time for all involved. We need to know why but probably never will!

It's especially painful and tragic because it is Canadian and so against the National character.

In USA, shootings are barely headlines. Indeed, the big story recently was that March, 2020 was the first March since 2002 (2002!) where USA didn't have a school shooting. Scary.

and for months to come we will sing the name
of one sick mind
and for months to come we will bring tears
to the relatives
of one sick mind
and for months to come we will
light candles
sing songs of praise
to those that fell at the whim of
one sick mind
and their names like dust
will be lost in the wind
and his name will be forever etched in time
as one new sick mind
prepares to write their name in eternity...
....
would it not be a blessing
to write the names of all those poor souls in eternity
and let the name of
one sick mind
fall silently for ever in darkness
never to be spoken again

may g$d fill our hearts with comfort
may g$d send peace to those that survived the horror

there is a world of difference between insanity and stupidity

It saddened my heart when i heard this....as its not commonplace. We here in the states have become somewhat immune to this kinda news, Its very sad. Its very sad all around. I hope the families get the support they need and can begin the process of healing from this tragedy ~~

Agree - this is so unlike 'us'. What a sad commentary that a global pandemic contributed to the reduction in other forms of violence. What does that say about the human condition?

Like many of the others I didn't hear of this. I am so sadden not just for the country but for those shot, and their families. But in Canada? Of all the places I never would of thought there because of the peacefulness nature of the people. All I hear about any more on the news is Covid-19 and I really don't watch the news much right now.

Agree. It is the last place we ever would have anticipated something like this happening. And those left to grieve are further hampered by the restrictions in place while dealing with COVID-19.

Someone mentioned having never fired a gun and being unable to understand such violence.

I grew up on a farm. Hunting and pest control are part of country life, so I have fired a weapon. I also do not understand such violence. When a teenager shot random people at a school in Arkansas in the 1990's, my thought was that while he had training to be effective in shooting the rifle, that he had not seen the results of releasing that power on a living creature previously.

One article thought it started as he was trying to find a love interest that was no longer interested in him. I wonder if the random stops and "executions" were an effort to sidetrack law enforcement while he escaped.

It appears that this was the result of mental health issues that may not have been identified.

A sad situation for all.

When I red the articles, I prayed that no one we knew was invloved and then I felt horrible for those that were maimed forever. May they find some solace and some emotional peace one day. Totally blown away I am

Thank you for stopping by and sharing your perspective.
As the investigation continues, more of the layers are being peeled back. Regardless of what is revealed, the lives of all those in the communities impacted have been changed forever.

I have touched based with friends that are in the surrounding areas and thus far, no one has been impacted directly. Regardless, the aftermath will change those communities and the rest of our country forever.

I grieve for them. All of my family lives there except me.
I am sure some were distant relatives.
Such a senseless act in such a peaceful place.

Due to the current restrictions imposed because of COVID-19, the community is being denied the opportunity to come together and grieve. Last night, a ‘virtual vigil’ was broadcast on national television. It was poignant and supportive, featuring local musicians. It ended with a lone piper, overlooking the sea, playing Amazing Grace. Nova Scotia Strong...at its finest 🇨🇦
