A man in Canada dressed as a police officer and driving a police car killed at least eighteen people, and the U.S. media essentially isn’t even mentioning it

Gabriel Wortman went on a shooting rampage in Canada while disguised as a police officer, killing at least eighteen people.  Wortman’s police car replica was so meticulous that it was only identified because of its ID being in the wrong location.

Following is a summary of this Brietbart article:

A wealthy 51 year old denturist went on a shooting rampage across northern Nova Scotia, Canada over a twelve hour period on Sunday while disguised as a police officer and driving a meticulously detailed replica of a police car, where he eventually killed sixteen [now the total is at least eighteen] people before being shot by police.  It was the worst mass shooting in Canadian history.  The perpetrator Gabriel Wortman put much planning into the attack, with his mock police car being so accurate that it was identified only because he painted its vehicle ID in the wrong location.

Wortman owned a denture clinic and several properties in Nova Scotia, with his business being successful enough to make him a millionaire.  Canada’s Globe and Mail reported that Wortman “Had shown an obsession for policing, buying law enforcement memorabilia and boasting about his hobby of refurbishing old police cruisers.”  One of his neighbors described his house as a “shrine” to the Canadian police and called his obsession with police memorabilia “freaky,” and Wortman had previously been seen driving his police car replicas while wearing a police uniform long before his shooting spree.

 

[NOTE: Surprisingly the mainstream U.S. media essentially isn’t even mentioning the shooting happening even though Wortman was white and therefore fits the Establishment’s “narrative” of someone who perpetrates such attacks.

Ownership of handguns in Canada is highly regulated and difficult to achieve, which presumably deprived many of Wortman’s victims of potentially being able to defend themselves.  Yet Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has announced that he would move ahead with additional gun control legislation in response to the shooting.

If people such as Wortman want to harm people they would find a way to do so even if they would not have access to a gun to do it, while at the same time people would not be able to effectively defend themselves against such attacks if they themselves did not have a gun.  Laws that outlaw guns disarm law abiding citizens while criminals mostly keep their guns.  Perhaps the U.S. media didn’t mention the shooting happening because it demonstrated the futility of gun laws in stopping shootings, or perhaps the shooting wasn’t one that the political Establishment was behind instigating and thus they don’t want to promote it.

More people should carry a gun in their knapsack or purse.  A recent example of a concealed weapon saving many lives was in December of 2019 when someone attempted to go on a shooting rampage in a Texas church but was immediately stopped by its armed security.  Also this article details a list of eleven recent situations where a “good guy with a gun” stopped violent attacks.  All religious congregations and schools should certainly be protected by people who have concealed weapons.]
