Montreal December 6, 1989


Just want to make sure the misogynist gun nuts don't miss the opportunity to celebrate one of their own asserting his gun rights and putting women in their place.

So raise a glass all you gun-loving women-haters, to one of your fallen comrades, even if you are a week late.

What, no one wants to honor Marc Lepine for his sacrifice in furthering the cause of rampant gun access and putting the social order right by asserting that women should not have advanced educations and become mechanical engineers? Whatever could be wrong with this?

But I understand if you want to celebrate in private. Causing death and creating oppression really isn't a good look in the 21st Century -- unless you are part of an underground cult of miscreant malcontents wanting to overthrow a Democratically evolved government to grab power over the economy and continue to funnel money to the status quo and make sure the fewest people enjoy the greatest benefits.

I posted something somewhere on Imdb, but it's gone now. Here's the only doc I found, his mother is featured.

His father was violent and hated woman too. The media usually leave him out.

The father of Marc Lepine, the war buff who gunned down 14 women in an anti-feminist rage, beat his wife and children and treated women like servants, divorce papers disclosed Saturday.

"He would speak of love and other things - and out of nowhere I'd get blows to my face," said the killer's mother, Monique Lepine, in testimony at a 1976 divorce hearing."I didn't know if I was supposed to be his wife or his servant," she testified.

Sometimes Lepine - then known as Gamil Gharbi - would be beaten bloody, she said.

The father, Algerian-born Rachid Liass Gharbi, "would resort to violence against me and the children for the least reason, to the point of sometimes making (the children's) noses bleed," Lepine's mother said.

"He would stop me from taking them in my arms and consoling them."
