Montreal Has Bad Luck

[Schme]

The thing about that is, you guys, is that that subculture is attractive to (middle class white) people who feel oppressed by not only "the system" but everyone.

It's no fun to be oppressed all alone.

Nobody to relate to, no real good friends, people being bastards to you, all that.

The Goth subculture, no matter what anyone says, is all about "Oh poor, lonely, oppressed poeticly miserable me. Everyone sucks but me and my cohorts. Why does no one understand? They are all so very very in the wrong."

That's a nice thing to hear. It's no fun being made to feel that one's misery is entirely one's own fault, which is often what people who contribute to misery like to try and make people thing.

It's not that the Goth subculture creates that kind of person. It attracts them, thus, the very very true pattern of many of those guys going out and slaughtering people being part of the subculture. Let's not lie that that is true. Not to say that all "Goths" (whatever the hell that's supposed to mean. They can't even agree on it.) are nuts and are going to kill people, that they're all that kind of person. But that kind of person is attracted to the subculture.

You see what I mean?

Most people who go on shooting sprees feel the world is out to get them, and unjustly,(and it is often so.). That's what Goth is all about. It's good to be among friends.

"Goths" and associates get all defensive. No one's attacking Goths, no one credible, anyway. It's just a reflection of how the perpetrators feel.

Nobody goes nuts when it turns out a spree killer was a white supremist.


On an interesting note, sometime earlier this year (Or last year, I can't remember) a young couple in Medicine Hat, a small western Canadian city (By young couple, I mean a twenty something pervert and a twelve year old girl.) slaughtered the young lady's entire family. Guess which website they met on?

Just thought it was a kind of cool tidbit.

No.

Here's a hint. It was the same one as another someone in Canada's news right now.

As for why I say Montreal has bad luck, it's not really about this. I mean, every city has to be forgiven a few mindless bloodbaths.

But there seems to be a pattern in Montreal.

Now, people are killed all across Canada every day. But the thing is, up here, people are usually killed for a reason. (I.e. He was hitting on my girlfriend, he was narc on our op, he killed one of our guy a few weeks ago, the usual.)

We don't get many sensless killings wherein the killer makes no gain and the victim didn't do anything perticualarly provoking, as happens (comparitivly) often in the United States. So when it happens, it makes the news.

It happens everywhere from time to time, as sad as that is. But Montreal has had perticualarly bad luck with this sort of thing. People often, for some reason or another, decide that Montreal University students should bear the brunt of their murderess rampages. It's really quite odd.

I remember sometime last year, there was a minor news story, which wasn't gone into to thouroughly as no one died. But last year, some guy from Newfoundland drove up to Toronto in his car. Now, to give you some perspective, that's pretty much three days of solid driving, without stopping at a motel.

Now, arrived in Toronto, he went to the park. He then turned himself into the police. In his war was over a hundred thousand(A Hundred Thousand!) rounds of ammunition for his handguns, knives, nail bombs, and a number other deadly odds and ends.

He said that he'd come to Toronto to go on a killing spree, but after seeing a puppy in the park, he had a change of heart and decided the world was a good place after all.

Now if that's not wicked kickass luck, I don't know what is.

Kickass luck they allow dogs to walk in the park...

Every Fri/Sat night locals here vent their frustrations on local students, usually with their fists... its traditional!

True that.

Likewise, Canada is very proud of it's British heritage in that respect.

But see, nobody really gets upset about that (unless they lose, I suppose, or when the lose and then come back and gut someone with a bayonet or plug them or swarm them and beatdown on them, but I digress.)

Thing is, most of the time, the people shooting up Montreal colleges (or in this case, High School students.) either aren't students, want to be students but can't be, or are teachers.
