Marc Lepine

"I have already tried in my youth to enlist in the Forces... which would have allowed me to enter the arsenal and proceed Lortie in a rampage. They refused me because I'm asocial. So I waited until this day to execute all my projects."
- Taken from Lepine's suicide note.

Marc Lepine was a bit of a loony. He was obsessed with war and violence, neighbours complained about the volume of his TV as he watched non-stop war films. He also hated women. The reason for this one was quite simple - they didn't like him, or they didn't find him attractive. This hatred of women grew into an absolute loathing. Lepine ended up labelling all women who didn't want him 'feminist.' He particularly hated feminists.

Eventually Lepine found a woman who liked him a little, and she became pregnant. For Lepine this was a solution, she couldn't get away if they had a child together, and he would have a son. Unfortunately for Lepine his girlfriend decided she didn't want a kid, and told him she was getting an abortion. For Lepine this was too much, and he decided to take the ultimate revenge on all the feminists he could.

December 6, 1989. The last day of term before the Christmas break - and the day Lepine would be revenged. He stormed an engineering class at the University of Montreal.

"Okay, everybody stop what their doing."
- Lepine's opening line.

As Lepine spoke the line he pulled out an automatic rifle. He was wearing blue jeans, an anorak and a red baseball cap. The students all thought it was a practical joke, until Lepine put a bullet into the ceiling.

"Move! Split into two - the girls on the left, the guys on the right."

Their were only nine girls in the class of sixty, and once gathered Lepine ordered the males to leave. They did, still thinking that it must be a prank.

"Do any of you know why I'm here?... I'm here to fight feminism!"

Lepine then opened fire on the girls - killing six, wounding the other three. Lepine then left the room firing indiscriminately at the males still outside the room. He was heard yelling -

"I want the women"

Lepine reloaded the rifle. He then proceeded to walk through the building, killing four more women along the way. He then went into room 311 where he killed three more women, and wounded others. He then walked up to one of the wounded, drew out a hunting knife and ended her suffering with three stabs. The classroom was still full of students, all scattered under desks, but Lepine seemed not to notice as he took off his anorak, wrapped it around the rifle, and blew his baseball cap off (with the assistance of the top of his skull).

INTERESTING BITS
The police were not called until 5.17pm. Lepine's brains were on the ground at 5.20pm.
He could have kept going for at least 5 more minutes before they could have stopped him.

Lepine was another shorty - He was only 5' 6"

He was born Gamil Gharbi and he later changed it to Marc Lepine.

He was described as a brilliant student, but lost interest when he discovered war films.

He kept a skull on his bookcase.

Amusingly, Lepine was turned down for the Army because he was believed to be mentally unstable. He was also turned down by the University for a place in the engineering course.

In his pocket was a hand written note-
"Forgive the mistakes, I had only 15 minutes to write this."
"Please note that if I am committing suicide today...it is not for economic reasons...but for political reasons. For I have decided to send to their forefathers the feminists who have always ruined my life. It has been seven years since that life ceased to bring me any joy, and being totally bored, I have decided to put an end to those vigaros..."
"Even if the mad killer label is stuck on me by the media, I regard myself as a rational and intelligent person who has been forced into taking extreme actions... Being rather backward-looking by nature (except for science), the feminists have always had a talent for enraging me. They want to keep the advantages of women...while grabbing those of men."
Lepine then went on to list 15 women who he deemed 'the enemy.'
"These nearly died today. Lack of time (because I started too late) has allowed these radical feminists to survive."
The letter was signed "Marc Lepine"
